(PS - I get yours was humor, but this reply is for all of the ghetto-talking Jerry Springer-walking white trash ignorant wannabees that get nothing right. Sadly, they too seem to post now/.)
Trailer trash, IOW. No, that's not me. Yes, I was being funny. The wannabees piss me off, too. It's not just you.;)
For reading BD+ BRs on Linux, the problem is they had to use patched firmware. This doesn't bode well for widespread adoption on Linux by non-technical users. Patching firmware is scary for most consumers, who will face the possibility of bricked drives.
The key will be to either bypass the drive's firmware with virtualization or to somehow have the firmware patch to happen safely and automatically on as many drives as possible. Hopefully something that could be done in the Linux kernel drivers for the BR drives and/or the SCSI drivers.
Bingo. It's the same reason low-income people drive Beamers, Benzes, etc., especially amongst the low-income African Americans and hispanics. They might be livin' in da hood, but they wear more diamonds than anyone in the 'burbs.
If you would just shut up, maybe the rest of us could move the adoption of Linux on the desktop in Enterprise forward (as I'm being paid to work on) a bit faster.
I keep hearing this more and more. The biggest reasons being cost savings, of course. Good luck with that. I'd like to see more companies doing this.
Moto's financial hardships are mostly the result of their crappy phones no one wants because they break too easily, are too sllllooooowwwww, and just all around suck. Maybe Android will help them out.
Given -- but to answer the question, you still have the problem of IRC's usability vs. IM clients. Everyone knows how to use an IM client. My wife finds IRC confusing.
Look...everybody here should be familiar with basic logic... Google's own policy is "don't be evil" The Slashdot article implies that Google is evil. Therefore the Slashdot article is wrong. Simple predicate logic.
The truly scary thing is I can't tell if this AC is joking or not.
Many libraries either have the CDROMs mounted on a disc changer, or the content served out from a network share. They have special licensing terms for libraries to allow them to do this. Some like ProQuest or EBSCO provide that licensing at reduced cost or sometimes even no charge for certain libraries, in the name of being 'good corporate citizens'.
Okay, yeah, I went back actually RTFA (don't fall over from a heart attack now!) so misleading headline, bad summary, typical Slashdot claptrap. They definitely want to be above the water vapor. They'll be collaborating to study the center of the Milky Way, checking out gases, etc. My question is -- how is this different from Kuiper telescope in the early 70s that did more or less the same thing?
Ummmm....TFS says they're using an infrared telescope. The water vapor shouldn't matter much, right? Especially since they're mostly trying to look at the atmosphere to study things such as global warming.

'Black' is not a skin color, it's a state of mind. I grew up in Detroit -- the "D".

Dude. You've been watching wayyy too much SG-1. Really.
Like, oh, say, around the winter solstice in 2012? Nah. That's just a coincidence. The Mayans were just crazy. Nothing to see here, move along.

Yeah, okay, maybe you're right. ;)
Constantly locked in to a upgrade path? No, way. No way will anyone go for this for anything real.

Niiiice. Web-based administration, supports server-to-server, group chat, handles registrations for you, etc. Nice monitoring and reports.
Very slick.
Read? Who reads anything on here? I only post.
Why not IRC?
You must've missed the word 'secure' in the headline.
Only in the same way nuclear weapons make the world a better and safer place.
What I said in it was that not everyone agrees on what 'evil' means anyhow. One man's evil is another man's justice.
"Don't BE evil" is not the same as "don't DO evil".
Pontiac's motto used to be "we build excitement" when in fact what they actually built was cars
No, not actually. I wouldn't glorify anything Pontiac/GM produced during this period of their existence with the term 'car'.
Corporate mottos are meaningless to anyone but an idiot
Where do you want to go today?

I think that the Germans are just looking to get more pictures of David Hasselhoff. Because as we all know, Germans love David Hasselhoff.
In related news, the inventor of the "rabbit ears" television antenna has finally been granted a patent.
