is that really comparible?, is it a group of profit mongering corporations looking to force the universities to have strict policies enforcing their will, or otherwise be fined to the point they'll have a hard time funding many (any?) students.
The whole thing is basically criminalising all the students, before they even are students.
illegal drugs, are illegal. And that's not the issue here at all.
and I meant gun policies, not ANTI gun policies, though not living in the US I do normally tend to think of the latter first.
Yup, absolutely, that was the overwhelming slashdot response when their new law was first posted about.
hackers who are doing illegal things anyway will play with all the toys they care to, as they won't care about the new law any more than the old ones, and anyone trying to test and secure their own system would be in breach of the law for having or using security software.
from the the article : "Competing products include Texas Memory Systems Inc.'s RamSan 500, a flash SSD with a dynamic RAM cache. That drive achieves up to 400,000 IOPS. Dutch company Attorn's HyperDrive 4 is a DRAM-based SSD that runs at 44,000 IOPS. Theoretically, DRAM should be faster than flash, but BitMicro's ASICS have made their flash faster."
The TMS RamSan is flash ssd with dynamic cache. Attorns Hyperdrive is DRAM. Bitmicros system is flash.
that and why not the same for anti drug and gun policies is pretty much exactly what my girlfriend had said as soon as she read the original article on this..

@GP, flexibility is always going to be more important with such things, if you don't want to move your pallets don't, but what about all the people that do. No one should be so arrogant as to assume that their way is best for everyone, give people choice whenever you can. I did regularly have to move pallets around to work properly, testing the new CS3 UI I found I didn't have to as much, they really did a good job with that.
Photoshop is used for countless things, different uses need different settups, the modularity, flexibility and workspaces to save your set-up are fantastic.
They point and laugh despite fairing just as poorly because Apple themselves, and not just the zealots, mocked vista for the same things as if it would never happen with an apple system, and frankly with the VASTLY smaller hardware and software set it really shouldn't.
The only thing I find makes me chuckle though tbh is the last minute removal of features (time machine to airport, that's really messed some people around buying hw specifically for it) and the approve-everything UAC like functionality so mocked in vista also (no X second grace on after elevation any more).
It's nice to hear when it does install properly most are pretty happy with it so far though.
For anyone sane SLI (with both the voodoo's, and the modern cards) was so some time down the line, you could double your GFX performance by buying a 2nd card the same as your current on, for a vastly reduced price, and double your performance without having to pay anything like the cost of a next-gen card.
ooo, that's just gold, thanks for pointing that out. I really hope if it goes to court that it's pointed out there too!
I've never read it myself but I known of it's existence, as has just about any other child in school in the UK around the 1990's (or, I would imagine, any child globally with internet access at home or in school around that time)
So basically it's a recording industry trying to con establishments into buying Muzak, so they get additional monies & royalty payments, because otherwise they're listening to the FREE PUBLIC RADIO for which everyone within the range of the transmitter may listen to at no cost, because the broadcaster is wholly responsible for the payment of all royalties, in an agreement that gives them full permission to broadcast.
Personally I believe it should be completely up to the establishment if they wish to pay for the privilege of choosing their own customer targeted content with no advertising, or merely tapping into a free broadcast and be at the mercy of the DJ, and any advertising.
They won't really be happy until speaker-less earphones that wire direct to the brain are all that's legal, the broadcasting license exists entirely because they can't chase every individual on the street up for royalties for any snippet of music that might have leaked out of a speaker.
They've probably been pushing this threat for decades, just this is the first time it's fallen into court, hopefully it will be treated with the non-respect it deserves.
I guess they're hoping they'll win, so they can go on to sue every other mechanic in the country, and all the hairdressers too.
In general they still are, lenovo was building the machines for IBM long before they actually put the name on them (from what I've heard, haven't completely verified it tbh)
Their carbon fiber reinforced plastic cases are tough as hell, active protection system and motherboard roll cage seems to keep them ticking long after most cheep plastic machines kicking arround today would be in peices imo
Thanks Bryan you're last few post's and window into the past have been more interesting than a lot of this weeks news:) (I too started very occasionally browsing/. around 1999 but didn't sign up until somewhere around 2005 or maybe later)
Anyway, to answer your question immediately under each story or comment title it states :
wow, from +3 to 0 in a few minutes, must have really hit a nerve, will be interesting to see how it plays out, are there more lurking fundamentalists/creationists whatnot on slashdot, or scientists?
Your posts more misleading than the/. summary, the conclusion of the article isn't that at all, only that adium is the best for the Mac.
From TFA "For pretty much every capability of the standard IM clients plus extras like extensive message history and emotiblips, get the paid version of Trillian If you're a Mac user, your chief alternative at this point is Adium. Two more choices along these lines are the PCMag.com-recommended SightSpeed and the Swiss Army knife-like Raketu."
i've use it on several machines, both straight from install, and with adlbock, filterset.g updater, webdev toolbar installed, never seen it anyhere near that unless I have a seriously huge amount of tabs open.

damn I lost my mod points yesterday
They are sub $100, at least one company is selling $99 HD-dvd's through walmart and I think others.

Am I reading this wrong?
:)
"The Fair Use Act would make it legal to bypass anti-piracy measures"..."to skip commercial or personally objectionable content"
well I find DRM personally objectionable, so if I lived in the US I could legally bypass all of it?
More efficient than SSD'?
(yes I know you can't get SSD's of this size yet, but size isn't the focal point here)
Embedded linux is happening already with some boards like the new asus p5e3
TFA makes it much clearer that this is about far more than just an ebook though, flaming hot /. summary..

Very pleased to hear the government come out and and state what by far the majority of the country would assume anyway, nice to have it made official.
May as well teach crystal healing in heart surgery if your going to allow RE into Science classes.
arg, tired, didn't spot your posts title till after I'd submitted, I'd only seen the text, sorry :(
