Because some of us have a real life, but when we *do* use the internet, would like it to be faster than 128kbits/sec... Downloading movies and MP3's doesn't really have much appeal.
If I was paranoid, I'd think that laser pointers could be easily adapted to laser rifle sights, and the government wanted to close this loophole. But I aint paranoid, so let it pass...
Shimizu believes that the Japanese motor industry is deliberately ignoring his invention and instead focusing on complex hybrids
Of course they are. Electric cars may be more efficient and cheaper to build, but you have to plug them in and wait. That's not acceptable, if only once every year when your friend/family member needs a ride.
You forgot to put a tongue-in-cheek smiley here. There's a danger, you know, that humour-impaired members might take your comment seriously.
According to Google Zeitgeist, IE 6 hasn't dropped at all and is still massively slaughtering the competition. In fact, Slashdot's own browser statistics show that IE is the majority browser for people accessing this website!
Some of this can be attributed to people faking the browser type reported, so that sites that only work with IE will work. (assuming they don't require ActiveX)
What's wrong with Nike again? They pay people in a third world country very little to make shoes? Isn't that still four times (or more) the average income of those countries?
it's close to 4 x 0, but who is watching?
The people who work for Nike would rather work there than at the alternatives.
Starvation and death being the alternatives, I can't say I blame them. Wonder if they give them time off to get educated? Or would that encourage them to not be good corporate peons in the corporate feudalist system Nike probably prefer?
They lost this time. So in the next cycle of printer models, they will likely put some challenge/response encryption there, that will demonstrably prove that the generic cart/toner maker has hacked their chip.
So it can use the MAC from the network card, or the SN from your hard drive. Got a feeling that the video card has one too - when mine at work blew up this morning, MS wanted me to reactivate. I guess that's why Intel dropped it on the P4.
Forget cars for the moment - printer manufacturers are doing this *now* - there are chips in most inkjets carts today that are doing just this - preventing us from using generic carts, and preventing refilling. The generic cart makers are sitting ducks for DMCA.
Well, you could let it happen automatically, as long as you don't get a gig of spam a month...

How do I delete messages?
The Gmail system will automatically empty your trash and spam every 30 days.

Although I do think a select all that did what it says would be useful. Or a select mail that meets a search criteria.
Right - and I want my PDA to mimic a desktop? I think not. It doesn't have the io or the screenspace to make mimicing a desktop a good fit.
Windows CE doesn't have a taskmanager? Man, have you even used CE? What version? Yes, it does have a taskmanager, on the h5450 it's the bottom r/h button, by default.
If you're going to pick on CE faults, at least pick on real ones!

-- Repeal income taxes: let's go with a FairTax [fairtax.org].
FairTax? Aka GST aka VAT aka consumption tax. Don't believe politicians when they say this will replace existing taxes, or reduce them. It wont. It will be in *addition* to existing taxes, which they will promise to remove or reduce in the future, knowing that by then it will be forgotten, or another government's problem.
(from an Aussie, where a similar GST was introduced some years ago)
Heh. Proper markup language for a marked up product, hmmm?
When most html is already bastardised for MS 'extensions', expecting tasteful websites is somewhat of a joke.
Although it has not had an IPO, it does still have shareholders - its VC's, and its employees. More than 500, according to recent news. USAtoday
And its certainly answerable to these. An IPO only increases the number somewhat.

Yes, but we're geeks, who do the camelCaps thing. Do most consumers think like that?
Ah, African snails. Use a cheque for 1 million USD ($1,000,000.00) to attract them.
Perhaps that's what happened to the toads.

Perhaps the lawyers are suing not because of the change, but the effects of the change (the share price went down)
Brushup your COBOL skills now, programmers! Magnetic Domain Reversal (MDR) is likely to be as lucrative as Y2k.

Better name would be Prometheus. Better name for the company that patented it, in retrospect.
