John Grisham's next book - The Remote. It's about a small time lawyer who hits it big by suing console makers and video game developers. Due to some unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, he picks up a console for his kids and shit like that. Good story from Grisham - he'll spin some 500 pages.
The analyst group believes Sony will lead in next-gen market share by 44% in 2011
Yeah sure. If they manage to release it at all. Or PS4 is going to be priced so over the top, $600 would be peanuts for a gaming console (OK, calculate that figure to 2011 economy by adjusting it to inflation blah blah blah).
I've got nothing against Sony and PS3 personally. But come on, $600 for a console and god knows how much EA will charge me for another mind-numbing sequel. Just can't afford it.
what the design goals of the feature are
Yeah, now everything is a "feature" with "goals". Give me a break.
However, that means that malware, running as a Standard User, can download an administrative application, and send keystrokes through Windows to simulate the user invoking the application. As a result, Windows cannot tell if YOU launched the application or if malware launched the application.
How about if you add something extra to make sure no "malware" lands up on my system? Can you do that?
I'd say go for it if you are single and got no financial obligations to take care of. Since the work is interesting, you'll enjoy it so much that a little paycut won't matter. Or if things turn out for worse, you can always have the experience of working in a start-up on your resume. And you might even get your mundane job back.
I wonder how Linux idealists feel about their cute little OS being deployed in machinery of war?
I feel like Einstein after the two A-bombs on Japan. I feel like Mikhail Kalashnikov seeing his designer gun on TV where it was used to pump up a couple of hundred kids.
Seriously, what's wrong with Linux being used in this project? You a Windows user man?
Looks like Family comes first for Microsoft and it's folks. Dear VP, direct relatives of M$ employees shouldn't be counted as Average Joes. Well, you say you carry SP2 and other fixes in your flash drive...what about someone who doesn't? You know what I did to MY granny's PC? I installed Ubuntu on her PC. Rocks.
That dedicated focus on work makes him the No.1 Agenda Setter for IT industry. It ain't easy to get there. World would be a better place if Steve Jobs ran M$.
Yeah. This damn guy knows exactly how to make money. When every company was making computers, he decided to produce art and he still made money. How many CEOs would work for nothing just to prove that they aren't there for the money? Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer wouldn't - that's for sure.
Microsoft Windows is historically a BadBoy - crashes, viruses, exploits, vulnerabilites etc etc. After XP, this situation has changed with the firewall and regular security updates. But the situation hasn't changed much.
The "Windows vs Linux" research is debatable. As the OS powering nearly 95% of PC market (sorry, I don't have any recent statistics right away. Let's say 95), how long do you think it will take for Windows(or any other OS from the house of Microsoft) to be the most secure Operating System there is?
"It's a pretty harmless drug," he said. "If you could give them one or two pills that could prevent PTSD, that would be a pretty good thing."
Now, what are the effects when these pills are taken in larger doses - say 6-10? Hallucinations, hunger - accompanied by greater appreciation for taste and aroma, dry throat, open-eyed visuals?
Nvidia's amd64 drivers are pretty stable too. Been using them for a year now - since I got my 64-bit athlon. Never had any problems running Xorg on it. The Xorg shadows and transparencies behave as expected.
Can power vapourizers?

Getting one of these chips into a vapourizer would be a neat idea. Hardware hackers with free time should get working. Everybody must get stoned.
In the landscape of today's megaservices, Hotmail just might be Mount Everest
Is this true? I thought Google might be the Everest. Anyway, speaking from personal experience, in my university every student has multiple yahoo/gmail accounts but just a handful use Hotmail.
Can someone throw light on the actual number of users all over?
For its part, Microsoft encouraged Apple to build hardware compatible with Windows.
That's really really funny. Ever heard someone say "you only get what you deserve"? Boys and girls of M$, pack your stuff...Steve Jobs got a brand new bag.
Bill Gates and Dell together can't sum up to the personality of Steve Jobs. You don't get to be the IT industry's No. 1 Agenda Setter for nothing.
This particular announcement from Jobs might change the face of PC Industry (I hope it does). The only reason for Mac not running on 95% of world PCs is the different processor. Let's see if Redmond feels any pressure.
Well, working on mice is fine but what about the human subjects? These days there's a new group of people arguing that if something works on mice, it needn't necessarily work on humans - like mice developing new brain cells when injected with synthetic cannabinoids. I, for once, would be willing to be a guinea-pig if anyone wants to test the effects of pot on humans.
Back to the topic, what still needs to be done is to prove the same theory for humans and let the forensics take over from there.
Nuclear energy and Hydrogen are two effective ways to counter the diminishing fossil fuels. Once the heavy industries and transportation shifts to these alternative fuels, the world doesn't have to depend on Middle-East anymore.
Gain control of Microsoft and release all the source-code and to open up the document formats. I can't do this alone but if all the/. readers are kind enough to send me a donation, I can start buying M$ stock.
If it weighs 5.7kgs, I won't be too excited about carrying it on my lap. A good DTR should be a trade-off between size and performance. And what about the power consumption? Dual-core + GeForce 6800 would generate a lot of heat. Anyway, the overall package is good but I'll buy one when the weight comes down.

In India, people pee on the streets. That's the best use of government property I ever saw. This one's even better.
The Redmond company believes that catching the students early on will turn them into life-long users of Windows Live.
That's how KGB recruited Philby, Burgess, Maclean and Blake. Good luck Bill. You'll need it more than I do.
If the doors of perception are cleansed, things would appear to a man as they truly are - infinite. Go to bed.
Apparently they even used bloggers as part of the operation, as relayers of misinformation!
That one's gotta hurt! Expecting some awesome replies to that one.

they don't have anything for FreeBSD/amd64

A book about one of the most popular open-source projects. Damn shame one has to buy it instead of browsing it online.
