...a bunch of evolved monkeys into a big steel box, fill it up with stuff that burns, cause thousands of controlled explosions every second to rotate big spin-y things and cause the contraption to soar through the air (and actually land in a controlled fashion).
For some reason, corporations seem to think there are two ways to go with free software. Either they see it as a way to shove advertisements down your throat, or they see it being a "lite" version, where "lite" means anything valuable in it is limited or crippled. I'm not sure how you can stuff adverts into a database management system, so it looks like their only option as a corporation is to artifically limit the maximum number of records, or do something else utterly stupid, to make sure everybody knows this is the "lite" version.
In my opinion, what sets it apart is with this phone, not only do they get all your search, email, and website data, but they also get your full name, address, and credit card number.
Cool people trust Facebook with all their information. Slashdotters trust Google with all their information. They both laugh at each other for being so stupid.
I'd like to know why our government will compete against video game companies, but won't compete against internet service providers or health insurance companies. Maybe it's just that a video game is a good way to convince people to join the army. That's a much better reason to do this than improving people's lives.
Half of the social engineering is to convince users to install the screensaver. The other half is to convince them their operating system can't possibly get a virus.
I think you click that triangle to the left of the current tags and then you can type your own. And then it will show up there and convince you everybody else can see it too.
Maybe this is what the poster before me said, I don't know... but when I listen to Stereo music, the music sounds better and everything else around me sounds normal in spite of the music. With 3D, everything's going to look very abnormal, except for the 3D show.
While I'm not certain, my guess is they will have banks, McDonald's, and Wal-Mart there. Maybe you would need money. And the McDonald's will have the burgers but not the fries.
I think what's going on is older and younger people are using different definitions of "friend" on Facebook. Older people are adding everybody because their definition is "friend or person to play with on the internet". Younger people are using the definition, "friend or potential sex partner". And as soon as they figure out you're not one or the other, you're off their list.
Also, most of the teens I know have thousands of people on their lists while most of the adults I know have hundreds. I think this study says less about how people are on Facebook and more about about how people react to rubber and plastic figures on Facebook.
I'm pretty sure your argument could be tweaked to bash Linux users as well as you bashed record player users.
You touched on the actual reason why Linux has a market, and that reason is here to stay: Linux is complicated. You can't just waltz into a store and buy the perfect distro. A distro is never perfect. You can always one-up "the competition". Then you have to add all sorts of fancy dampening widgets to your setup and let's not forget the rituals that surround running a Linux application: What you consider an annoying hassle is a geek's fetish and an opportunity to distinguish himself from his lesser peers.
Slashdot Mirror
How can a place, where people can make comments they disagree with just disappear, be the best place to discuss anything?

Leave Congress out of this.

The question was, "what is MySpace". Not, "what is Slashdot?"

I was guessing SkyOS.

For me and my friends, Amazon's selling points were lower prices, no DRM, and the mp3 format. Three things these guys aren't going to do.
Wasn't this screensaver in a repository?
If the screensaver can connect to the internet and update itself, there's no guarantee the removal instructions will work.

If they follow the pattern they did with HD, they'll probably call it Full 3D...
It's only original until it gets a +5. Then it's repeated over and over...

I would think, if they're using a Tor node at Marquette, the downloader is probably not at Marquette...?
I think that's going to be in development a while, but for now you can play their smaller game, Duke Nukem For A Long Time.
Oddly enough, just as with tabbed web browsing, this is something Opera did before Mozilla...
Maybe not, but if you can boot in 4 days, at least you're booting faster than a Palm Pre.
We're not stupid. We're disempowered. Get it right.

I think the quote had to be adjusted for 21-year-olds being much dumber than they were back then...
