I think you're missing the point... It's not that M$ won't put effort into making software updating work with WINE, it's that M$ IS putting an effort to make sure if you're using WINE, you CAN'T get the update.
Does anyone know for sure if Adblock for Firefox blocks pop-over/floating/whatever ads? I use it and havn't noticed any for a while. I also have ad free/. reading:)
meaning they don't offer much of any performance benefit in most apps (particularly games). They draw more power, they run at higher temperatures, etc.
from TFA:
For example, a processor with dual 2.0-GHz cores can deliver performance not all that different from a single-core 3.5-GHz part. More important, such a dual-core part will hold down power dissipation to a figure closer to that of a standalone 2.0-GHz CPU, allowing processing throughput to effectively double for not much more power.
and
At such speeds, single-CPU processors can often dissipate more than 150 W.
The dual-core Athlon 64 runs at a clock-speed of 2.4 GHz and has a maximum power dissipation of 100 W.
Keep in mind, here in America we get all up in arms and political because maybe at some point in time people are considering something that may or may not happen in the future. Mean while in the rest of the world, there is a 14 year old boy in his countries army because the leader who was chosen because he was the oldest male in the family that has ruled for 300 years says so, no vote, no rights, just do what I say. Yes, I am a proud American, but come on people! Our country bitches about the stupidest things...
The place I used to work at had a few cyrix based computers. The power supply fan quit on one of them, which in turn burned out the CPU fan. Finally 2 weeks later when someone called me complaining that the pc was wicked slow I checked it out. You could actually read "Cyrix MII" on the backside of the heatsink.
What ever happened to the powerglove, sega vr, and virtual-boy? It seems that when game makers move away from the tv and controller based games, they flop.
Yes, we have laptops as well. Every laptop, infact every computer (employee's home computers) that connects to the office network must have a firewall and antivirus software. If not, we don't let them in. We've started eliminating VPN connections and replaced them with Citrix. We have even gone as far as to remove floppy drives from desktops to prevent bonzi buddy and the likes from getting in. If someone installs un-authorized software on their computer, and HR is feeling generous and does not fire them, I have my own special way of punishing users: the loaner. I take their computer away while I "rework it" and give them a temp spare 233 MHz Windows 95 beast. I've never had to fix the same user twice:)
Until the next wave of viruses hit XP SP2 holes. Actually... people shouldn't have their computer connected directly to the internet anyway, use a firewall people. As far as office networks are concerned. It's up to the IT staff to prevent viruses from even getting in the building, firewalls, email scanning, and policies (both computer and hr).
Typical Power Consumption - HDTV
Plasma TV - 50 in. 650 Watts
CRT Proj. TV - 50 in 350 Watts
CRT TV - 32 in 250 Watts
DLP TV - 50 in. 200 Watts
LCD TV - 40 in. 180 Watts
STB Cable or Satellite 60 Watts
Audio system 200 Watts
Also a hittachi plasma consumes 530 watts. So, in actual'ty my crappy CRT has lower power consumpt'n than a "better" plasma, although, not as low as an LCD. Even the power hogging P4's and old Athlon XP's use less watts than the TV.

Also DSL (damn small linux) has a version that runs with qemu on top of Windows. Qemu is an emulator, so it is a little slower, but it's works great.

So now instead of someone having to take my wallet to steal my credit card they can just walk by me with a contactless reader?

My first Mac had a 512 video card... 512K that is. Which was ginormous at the time (to me).
I don't think apple will sell PDAs, HP might get mad at them. HP sells iPods and also iPaqs.
interesting... whatstheip.com, findipnow.com, and findmyipnow.com and for sale on ebay as well advertised as 'like whatismyip.com'

Hi, my name is Bob. I'm a network supervisor who loves long gaming sessions and linux. My dislikes are first posts, me too, and sunlight.

It still unclear what motivated this 43-year-old to launch such a bizarre worm.
Simple... Why does a dog lick his own nuts? Because he can.

It sounds like a software issue to me, otherwise she wouldn't be asking for a divorce :)
