Brilliant, because Operating Systems are almost as important to Businesses as ice-cream, i don't think anyone would deny that.
There is a downside to Linux having so dists, whether you want their to be or not. When a newcomer comes onto the scene, willing to give it a go, which one do they pick? Or when you ask a few people at your office for some recommendations and they start arguing about which is best. Ignoring these facts is just plain stupid.
Clearly it is a gimmick. Just nobody told everybody else.
Who would have thought that Nintendo would have won the mobile game and home gaming wars with the two least powerful options. (The DS vs PSP, and Wii vs Xbox, PS3) I mean, we have all been saying that most people don't really need the powerful processors produced today, except for the latest games, and now it seems they don't even need them for that!
Well, we here at Slashdot apologise, and we will ensure that you are kept updated in the future to anything that might be part of your job. Obviously we can't really rely on you to do it yourself.
Seriously, what sort of shit is this. Are you so retarded, that the fact that you haven't heard of something is a good argument anymore, or are you still less than 11 years old??
Wow, maybe you consider that the ultimate laudation. but it is really something embarrassing to be bragging about. Clearly you have absolutely no imagination if you can't figure out how to write a virus, it is one of the more simple programs you could write. Look at the fact early viruses were often detected by the number of BYTES they addes to an exe or com file.
Nice try with the intelligence friendly, but ultimately lacking in humor and clueless, tirade. Threads in a cyclical wait pattern don't laugh at jokes, people laugh at jokes. It doesn't matter what country they are from, if someone on slashdot says something funny, they will get modded +5 funny of course. And the GP was about having fun and laughing, not that deep cyclical-multilocking-thread-muju-muju!
Nice try with the/. friendly, but ultimately meaningless and ignorant, tirade. Deadlock doesn't have to be cyclical (you could have 7 cores waiting for the first, and the first waiting for the second). I am clearly an asshole. And nobody mentioned anything about fun and laughing, so you jumping to that conclusion is clearly erroneous.
Does it? To me, "restricted in terms of time and geographic consumption" sounds awfully like censorship. That in the vicinity of news corporations makes me uncomfortable. Also, using "security" when you mean "restricting what users can do with their own files", to me, is dishonest and looks like a cover for something unpleasant.
More like licensing issues, which is something that most people don't need to think about, but when you are a huge publishing corporation with production in conjunction with other corporations from all over the world, something that you seriously need to consider. It would be illegal for some of the BBC content (like Dr Who) to be released without any restrictions.
At least with CDs, you can just play the thing, without having to sit through some anti-piracy and stupid menu. When I watch a movie, I want the thing to just start playing, not all the bullshit!
Wow, could you really be the biggest wanker in the world? How the fuck did you get marked up so high.
So what if they walked on the moon, it is no good to us until we build a moonbase, and have an easy passage for the rest of us to the moon. This isn't news at all.
So yes, they should never announce anything new, until everything is in place for you to watch 100s of HD channels.
Fine, but they could achieve the same results by (1) refusing to serve the content to people outside the UK, (2) requiring a "licence-fee payer" login to download anything, and (3) limiting the range of programmes available online in order to satisfy the requirements of commercial co-producers.
The only way to be sure of these points, is to use DRM. How else do you do it, ask the user before the video plays?
There is going to have be some change to road taxing in the UK. It is impossible for things to increase as they are currently. Most people who do drive, seem quite happy to ignore this. There needs to be a significant reduction in road traffic, the government has started to realise that the old solution of just building new roads is making the problem worse, not better.
The only way to reduce traffic is to increase the price as much as possible. This is the ONLY way that people will stop driving. You can make public transport free, with dancing girls and free beer, leaving from your stop every 20 seconds, and people will still complain, and get in their car. The UK has great public transport, compared to most over countries - yet still people whinge, and drive the 3 miles into work.
Stop driving, simple. Start working out another way to go. When you buy a house 30 miles from your work, think about it, factor in the huge cost which driving will eventually be.
And here we have it Gentlemen, primae facea evidence that the world is doomed. Here we have a comment from one of our future leaders and decision makers, homo-idiotus.
Yes, lots of things are "no-brainers", when you completely miss the point. How is that working out for you?
The fact is that we were all happy to see that Dell were selling Linux boxes at a reasonable discount. Then we felt betrayed when they offer these "free" upgrades for the windows machines.
Thank you for exposing your stupidity, and the lackluster mathematical courses in high school/ primary school/ pre-school these days. Adding numbers is hard, isn't it!
OK, maybe you well let me blow some sort of poison at you, when you are walking down the road, and then act indignant when you question me about it?
It seems to me that a lot of people use the fact that smoking is an addiction to never give up. Why not take responsibility for yourself, you pathetic little man.
It is just logical really. If someone is a consistent Microsoft Shill, and even they start to see some problems, then this is valuable data, that can not be so easily dismissed as if it was another pro-Microsoft article. Why is this confusing for so many people.
It is like you mate who likes all action movies, no matter how flimsy the plot. If even he doesn't like the latest Die Hard movie, that means it must really blow, not that it is not a good movie. Take things in context.
It is simple really. Anyone who wants this new phone will have to have severe plastic surgery to improve their face. After the 2 months it take to get over the plastic surgery, your face and the Apple iPhone will fit perfectly. Apple Market Research have found that this will dissuade only a tiny percentage of the current Apple User base.
Stop posting conjecture by "market analysts". No matter how you spin it, this is not news for nerds or stuff that matters. It's someone trying to rally interest in Apple stock.
Made you click though, didn't it. Maybe they will stop posting it, when everybody stops clicking on the link to comment. Maybe you will care less if you just scrolled past the iPhone story. You know if you ignore it, that it will go away.
... or wait... that's always the dilemma with Apple; they're so tight-lipped you don't know when the latest-and-greatest happens until it's already on shelves. Got burned on my MacBook, so I think I'll be waiting.
I heard that even after this, Apple have plans on releasing another version of the iphone, and another laptop. When will this madness end? Certainly Apple have no plans to end. I think the clear message that Apple is sending to the consumer is don't but anything, because we will always release something better at some time in the future. Devious Bastards!

Yeah, amazing what you can do on the easy levels.

It should take you 2 seconds to think about how a virus works. Surely you can spare 2 seconds from your not doubt busy career in Computer Science.
I'm 28, have a CS degree,

Except for the fact that the music companies might not appreciate this, and start pulling their cataloges. That would have a big affect on iTunes.
And that was when I couldn't figure out some pretty damn obvious things in retrospect.
Funny how that works, isn't it.
