Use an OPEN OS, close the F%@K out of it, and sell it. Whay am I not surprised. As stated in post #1 F##K SONY and the Nintendo's success they rode in on
Written by the service provider because the execs thought they needed a little more income?
Not as far fetched as you think in China where the usual is whatever it takes to get what you want.
Whats the big surprise here? I remember running linux on PII (at least if not Pentium I - 100s) back a few- well quite a few, years ago. so Im supposed to be all excited that it runs on a gigahertz plus dual core chip? *sigh Wheres Caldera when we need it now? lol
What if this was simply a ploy for SONY to show to the world why we all need DRM on everything in our lives? They now have a reasonable excuse for putting DRM laden movies out.
This has always been the number one reason to NOT use Linux on the desktop. Graphics Drivers. I've been an avid user since almost the beginning. I remember back to about '94 or '95 and I have said all along, "What is the problem?" "Why is it so difficult to get (back then) simple hardware acceleration?" Now, of course, change that to Why is iot so hard to get 3D acceleration? Why? Perhaps the big 2 have some vested reason because they are absolutely contributing to holding back the widespread adoption of Linux on the desktop. Monetary gains? If you think it is beyond normal reasoning to think Microsoft is above payoffs- well then your just naive. Someone is driving this. For over 10 years Linux has been left behind, purposely. I understand it's not in a company's best interest to develop for a niche market but this is beyond that line of thinking so save the "educated" responses for someone who gives a rats ass what fanbois with biased views have to say. I don't. I'm just saying take a serious look at the history out there. something is really not right. the drivers they do release are years behind the windows counterparts with minimal support.
lol yes, the hardest problem was if you didn't defrag and interleave regularly, too many bits would collect on one side and the extra weight would throw the platter off balance !
Well back around the mid 80s I had the brilliant idea to use all my old 10 or 20 mg hard drives to store data like floppys. I put some stuff on them that was fairly important like student loan and other stuff. I recently had to get that data about a year ago and it was really fun. I had to build a box with an MFM interface and load an old copy of DOS on it. Took like 25 tried before I had a complete set of DOS 3 floppys. Seemed like every time one of or all three of the set had some file gone. Then I had the fun of trying to find a copy of wordstar or thinking should I just use edlin to read it. Joy- never again (I hope).
Since when do we get tech advise from the likes of those occupying the White House? Just because you know how to lie and deceive the public does not make you an authority on anything technical.
Ah-HA! You're not a Martian Prince! Any true Martian Prince would have enough of an education to know that Martians always capitalize any and all H's in proper nouns. Once again bad grammar exposes another scam artist.
Unfortunately, the above is an assessment based on Planet Earth, United States, English. Martian Grammar call for the "Home Planet" to be lower case, as well as any reference to it. This was designed to prevent the citizens from developing ego.
Dear Slashdotters, I am writing here in hopes that someone could help me with a problem. I assure you that you will be well paid for your efforts. I am a Martian Prince and have been exiled from my home planet. My planet and this one have been unwilling to allow me to transfer funds from zxabhins to US dollars. If you would be so kind as to help me transfer monies I would gladly give you 15% for your efforts... lol *Note for the sick society we live in: This is a JOKE. Get over it. I can see some jackass politician signing his latest DRM order and then getting on his computer and reading this and saying "get him".

Microsoft pumps cash into SearchEngineLand.com to help dismal outlook.
