Saturn did this with plastic bodies, "you'll never get a dinged door from a loose shopping cart.."
And it turned out to be a pretty bad idea. After a few years the plastic gets brittle. I see a LOT of old Saturns around here that have gaping ragged holes in the quarter panels from minor accidents. In the same kind of accident, metal-skinned cars roll away with a few dents that might not have even been too noticeable. Even here in Michigan, the Saturn is considered as close as you can currently get to the disposable car.

On the one hand, this is why I dislike Ubuntu. It doesn't require that the user learn much about how the system works. They plop the CD in the tray and it takes care of them, breeding a generation of Linux users that barely have an idea how to file a proper bug report.
Free software really isn't. The following is something I try to explain to everyone who hasn't heard of open source software.
When you use proprietary software, you pay for it either in cash or by putting up with advertising of some kind. When you find a bug or need support, you can call up or email the company who makes it and complain until it gets fixed. (If you don't even have that privilege, you got ripped off.)
However, when you use open source software, you have to know how to ask for help and figure out a few things on your own. There is a little bit more effort and interaction with the open source community. Read documentation, join a support forum, file bug reports and consider that your payment for being able to use free software. (Canonical, in particular, really deserves kudos for how easy they make it to access all of these.)
Personally, I would rather spend no money and put in a bit of effort for the privilege of being able to use my computer the way I want to. I know lots of people who would. I also know lots of people who would sooner complain about every little problem they have rather than make an honest attempt to fix it, so I make it a point to tell those people that they'll probably be happier with a Mac. Maybe someday Joe Consumer will be able to go into the store and buy a copy of Linux with a commercial support agreement so that Linux is an option for everyone. But that's not where we're at today.
The real enemies to the open source community right now are the 12-year-olds who throw in a copy of Ubuntu and can't get online because their random bargain-bin USB wifi dongle doesn't work. Instead of seeking help or finding out more about the problem, they throw up their arms and declare on their blog that Ubuntu is worthless because "it doesn't work with anything." And sites like Slashdot, Linux Today, Digg, and The Register, they just eat that shit up because all the Linux fanboys jump to the defence of their OS and the pageviews (and therefore ad revenue) go sky-high. All of the outside observers who haven't tried Linux are then turned away because they see open source as this thing that Internet nerds like to argue about.
and a third study found that most studies waste money.
Too true, and any introductory Statistics class will tell you that a phone survey, on it's own, is pretty much useless because your entire sample comes from willing participants in the survey.
That's all well and good, except that your post has nothing to do with the one you replied to. The parent (which you presumably didn't read) outright said that there wasn't much substance to the article and that there really isn't anything in there to get worked up about.
But of course, you'd also have to read the article to know that.
The Fahrenheit 451 reference in the Slashdot summary is a bit over top since he's not advocating making either games or music illegal. He's just saying, "Hey, these things are bad," which he's fully entitled to do. I think organized religion is bad, which I am also entitled to say, even if people disagree with it.
But hey, if a bunch of people want to get together and burn their own belongings, more power to them.
It's 2008, why aren't most websites just using https by default? A low-volume site can handle the load with today's superfast CPUs, and high-volume sites can afford to buy one of those crypto engine thingies.
There are a couple good reasons HTTPS isn't more prevalent for "regular" sites.
1) Yes, low-volume sites running on an under-utilized box could handle SSL, but a significant portion of the web, however, is made up of sites which run a lot closer to capacity. Google, Amazon, Ebay, etc. For these guys, their traffic volume is so huge that every byte they add to their main page probably costs more per day than I make all year. No board member is going to stand up one day and say, "You know, we should spend millions encrypting all of our outbound traffic so that our visitors don't get ads injected by their ISP."
2) With HTTPS, you cannot separate authentication and encryption. Which is a shame, because there are a lot of scenarios where I want to encrypt my traffic and am willing to trust that there's not some kind of man-in-the-middle attack going on. Likewise, sometimes I'd like to know for sure that when I type in the URL for a web site, that I'm really getting the intended web site instead of a forgery, even when I don't care if the content is encrypted or not. But as it stands right now, you have to have one if you want the other.
The main problem is that SSL certificates are an utter joke, as they are currently used on the web. They're expensive and the security that they claim to provide via authentication is pretty much useless. You go to their website, plop down $50, they email the certificate to you and voila, you can now have a secure website! Sounds real f'ing secure, don't it?
Yeah, I know, you can always do a self-signed cert if you don't care much about authentication, but today's browsers will nag you constantly for using one for a variety of issues that I won't get into right now...
My problem with desktop widgets is that I would never see them, even if they were enabled. I run a dual-head display with 4 virtual desktops and I tend to make use of all available screen space with the applications I have open. One screen has a browser with a few xterms while the other typically has email, IRC, IM, and maybe a window for viewing documentation.
Desktop eyecandy may be pretty and mildly functional but not so helpful if you actually use your computer for something other than recreation.
Wow, talk about solving a problem the hard way. Why not just use a bittorrent client which has rate limiting built-in? Which, by the way, is almost all of them? (I use rtorrent, an excellent command-line client.)
According to what I've heard/read (large shaker of sale requierd), a transformer inside the data center exploded due to a short in one of the high-voltage circuits. The transformer was in some kind of electrical closet and the explosion knocked down three brick walls around it.
My Dad used to be a mechanic at a large excavation company and when I was a teenager, he used to bring me into the shop to help him out on weekends. Because gas and oil spills are common in such a shop, they had these white pads that would soak up gas and oil but nothing else, not even water. The mechanics called them diapers. Did MIT just reinvent these using nano materials? The only difference I can see between these and the MIT invention is that the shop diapers is that the latter were definitely not reusable, although they could soak up an amazing amount of liquid.
I have to disagree. I think there is a market for this sort of thing because I am in that market. I set up lots of computers for friends and family and this Asus thing is exactly what I'd get for them. Their needs are usually rather simple and they don't want a huge mid-tower taking up their desk. A Mac Mini would be perfect, except that it starts out at $600 before taxes and shipping. Plus a good percentage of that price is probably OS X which most of my family has no intention of using. (Either they already know they need Windows or I try to persuade them to use Linux. Nobody's complained about Linux yet.) It would be just awesome If I could get a small, low-power desktop machine for $200-$300 that ran Linux and WinXP well so I'm looking forward to reading reviews on this Desktop Eee.
I can also see something like this being a popular choice in cube farms that run Linux. Perhaps they wouldn't save much money on the initial price if they buy low-end Dells (for example) in volume, but if this ends up being a pretty low-power device, the energy savings could be significant.
Of course there is a balance somewhere between the people who own "IP" and the rights of people who "consume" it.
The problem is that nobody can agree on that balance and each side is always trying gain the advantage over the other. Such is the way it has always been with humans.

I work helpdesk for a major web hosting company and I can tell you that I ran into every single one of those customers myself just in the first month. It sucks, but it is the burden of providing a quality service. Lest someone get too discouraged from the parent's example above, it is worth bearing in mind that the majority of tech support calls go a lot smoother than this. Most people who call in only want to hear that you're as concerned as they are about the problem and that you have or are actively working on a solution.
after a couple of weeks of it still running ok, we just assumed the speaker had died so just ignored it
So um, nobody in your I.T. staff realized throughout this whole ordeal that failed speakers don't normally get permanently stuck in the 400Hz-tone-emitting state?
I wonder if this ruling would have prevented Microsoft's legal monkeys from coming after me about a year ago.
I had listed some old broken laptops on eBay. These were machines that I had sitting around for years and they were pretty popular models back in the day so I figured someone might want them for the parts. My downfall was that I mentioned in the item description that each laptop came with a Windows 2000 Certificate of Authenticity (sticker) attached but no media or hard drive. One of the pictures had the COA plainly visible (but unreadable).
Five days later, eBay pulled all of the listings with the excuse that a copyright holder had notified them that I was trying to sell pirated software. Yeah. And didn't refund my listing fees of course.
One week after that, I get three different envelopes from three different couriers from a law firm in Washington. The cease-and-desist letter contained in all of them said that it was illegal for me to sell the OEM COAs, even when accompanied by hardware, because I wasn't an OEM. This is of course completely bogus because people buy and sell computers with OEM Windows licenses attached to them every single day, on eBay no less, and Microsoft doesn't think that's illegal for some reason.
I didn't even give a crap about the COAs in the first place, I just wanted to get rid of the hardware. I wanted to fight this, knowing that I was fully in the right to sell those COAs even if I wanted to. But the truth is I don't have the time or money to either sue or get sued. It would be nice if we had a legal system in America that would allow for anyone, regardless of income, to stand up and say, "No, I'm right about this and I can prove it." But that's just not how it works here in capitalist America.
I could have torn the COAs off the machines and relisted them but frankly I didn't want to deal with eBay again so the whole works just ended up in the dumpster.
Wait a minute, what's going on here? None of the figures quoted in the summary or article are above 50%, so wouldn't that mean most I.T. workers are either staying the same weight or losing weight? Wouldn't that make the majority of I.T. workers a fairly healthy bunch overall, the exact opposite of what the rather smugly-written article is trying to say? I could see if they were saying that the numbers have increased compared to an identical survey in the past but they're not even doing that. Forget making mountains out of molehills, this article made one out of a canyon.
Another option, the N800, is roughly equivalent to the N810 except that it's slightly larger and lacks GPS and a thumb keyboard. Lately, some places have been selling them for under $200. Add a bluetooth keyboard and you effectively have a very portable and very capable web, email, VoIP, and whatever-else-you-want device that can literally go days without a recharge. Although I still find the software selection to be a bit lacking, one of my favorite tasks for mine is using it to listen to podcasts and live Internet radio streams wherever I am without having to bother with headphones.
Last year, a friend and I bought a bunch of older laptops for cheap and sold the parts on ebay to fund summer barbecues and other outings. If the laptops were common models back in their prime, you can often sell parts like cdroms, screen brackets, processors, backlight inverters, and screens for anywhere between $10 and $30 each. You'd be amazed how many people are emotionally (or financially) attached to their 10-year-old laptops and will keep buying parts just to keep them alive. We averaged about an $80 return on a $15 laptop.
A counterpoint to this is when I bought a 15" Lenovo Thinkpad T61 last winter for around $1300. The equivalent MacBook Pro started at $2500. The only advantage that the MacBook Pro had over the Thinkpad is that it came with a built-in camera and was somewhat thinner. Since I was going to run Linux on whichever I bought, the Thinkpad was an easy choice.
Now that I've been using it for awhile, I don't regret the decision in the least. People say the quality of Mac hardware can't be beat. I beg to differ: My Thinkpad looks great, has a very nice screen, the hardware is quality kit, the keyboard is solid, and I have both a touchpad and a nipple pointer with a middle mouse button. (This thing even has four Mini PCI Express slots under the keyboard, only one of which is being used.) Even the support is better: If something on it breaks within the first year, I don't have to take it anywhere, Lenovo will send an empty postage-paid box to ship it away for free repair. This is not a special warranty program either, this is standard.
No, there isn't a Thinkpad to match every available portable Apple machine, but in many cases, a Thinkpad is really a better deal overall unless you really want to pay that extra thousand dollars for ability to run OS X.
I've often believed (known?) that text messaging is just a last refuge of the cell phone companies to squeeze a little extra money out of their consumers.
Last refuge nothing, they have infinite ways of milking as much money from customers as possible and are dreaming up new ones every day.
And we allow it.
If this happened in the Internet/computer industry, it would be an outrage. Imagine, if you would, your city only has three Internet providers and in order to use their service, your computer has to be purchased through them or one of their authorized retailers. None of the computers that they offer really fits your needs, so you're forced with either paying for a computer with more features that you'll actually use or settling on a lower-end computer that you can only use for very basic tasks. The computer comes with only a handful of applications and there's no way to install more without upgrading to a more expensive model. You can't put a new OS on it, or else your service will be terminated or you'll be fined or both. During the day time, each minute that you're online costs you money. Each IM that you send adds an extra $0.05 to your bill, as does every desktop wallpaper that you download. If you finally come to your senses and realize that you're getting financially hosed by your service provider, there will be a $150 fee on your final bill for cancelling your contract early.
The parent said this as a joke, but this is one of the main reasons why a dual-head setup is a godsend for administrators and developers. Having documentation on one screen while working in another is a huge productivity booster.
