You know, this just boils down to what do you hate the most -- targeted ads or paid web services. I honestly suspect its the latter. Would you pay for Gmail? Facebook? Twitter? I sure wouldn't.
Funny how people seem to credit the "multitouch notebook that converts to a tablet" to Microsoft Surface, when intact, these designs were first seen in accessories for the iPad. So, while Apple didn't create the actual device, they did in fact created the market for this by having third partiers develop stuff for their products. Sorry, it's the truth.
IMO, because we don't consume content from their networks. Most of the Internet traffic ends up in the United States. We don't need more copyright technologies, we need NEW copyright laws. And they need a new business model.

People just need the anual 'one' big hit. Slackware used to have that effect, later Debian, and then Gentoo... Now, it's an Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) fever.
Stay tuned, next year you will be seing basically the same phenomenon within the Slashdot community.
Now, IMHO, I think Ubuntu has been a success because it's an up2date distribution (considering Debian), it's pretty much Debian based (but better and up2date), it has been ported to most common architectures (X86, PPC, X86_64, etc) and above all, it has a really nice and strong community.
If CPU speed is irrelevant to processor power, then why do we keep talking about it?
It's not that it is irrelevant, it simply isn't the whole picture. Saying that "*Hertz" is the only thing that counts (in CPU speed) is big lie. It's equally big saying that it doesn't count either.
Well, it was about time... doesn't surprise me either. The philosophy of the big corp is, if you can take advantage from the little, then, help them. If it will give you no money, don't help them. (even if it for a good cause, which is free information -- education).
I feel unconfortable, I know Wikipedia would make good use of new hardware and resources, but, geez, is it always have to be this way?
Is it really so hard to just say George W. Bush. Basically, the definition of "funny", "scary" and "disgusting" can be applied to him. -- Download free off the..., err, buy from your local CD store a NOFX cd which contains a song called: "The Idiot Son of An Asshole".:-)
Why is Microsoft evil and Linux rules? I understand you maybe don't like the products they offer, but calling it evil for what they do is simply brainless. They do things, *the American way*(TM), does that mean USA (in general) is evil?
I believe that the problem with todays youth is very simple, they're getting everything (so easy), the only thing the have learned is the meaning of everything and the value of nothing, that's not right, that's simply not right. Also, the education of today _it's not education_, it's _instruction_, all the people gets instructed while some of a few gets educated.
I have seen a lot of comments here, arguing that is not the teachers fault, I submit you, that is both ways, teachers and students fault. Being a teacher (or educator), should be the most important job in the world, being an educator means that you're responsible of the youth of today, that will soon become the people of the future, thus, if the students fail, the teacher fails, is that simple. I know most teacher today are teachers, simply to get paid, because it's relatively easy; And it is my understanding that that's the wrong reason the be a teacher, if you want to be an educator, you must deeply wish it, because you understand that you will be in charge of the future of our current society.
Yeah, but wouldn't you agree that a great amount of slashdotters are not from native-english speaking countries? They do great, learning 2 or 3 different languages (besides your native one) is not an easy thing... but, it's always easier to criticize isn't it? Eh?;)
I know you're just trying to help... but I think it would've been better if you do it in a more subtle way.
I understand your point and I agree. Believe me, I would love to see AMD processors there, nothing is better than having different alternatives, but what I was saying was that if Dell doesn't want to do that, that if Dell wants to stick with the Intel processor line, you can't force them to do otherwise, that you should start looking for other alternatives, they obviously don't want to grow at all, that's Dell's problem. Not mine, I am more than happy looking for alternatives to Dell. Dell's simply not for me and if I had a business it would be my last choice
That's of course your opinion. I know plenty of (IT) people who are more than happy with their Dell workstations and servers. If you don't like Intel and like AMD better, there are plenty of companies who offer AMD-based workstations and servers. Those are for you, Dell definitely isn't.
No, you are wrong. When someone buys Microsoft Office, in the BOX of the MS Office says the System Requirements, it says Windows 9x, Windows 2000, XP etc etc... IN NO place it says Wine or any other mulator.
I believe it would be more easy and effective if we kind of take the best of both worlds (like ATM, password and card), since it would be a really pain in the ass to have a card for all your IM services, e-mail, other accounts I think it would be better if we, use our traditional password, a online certificate (for our machines) and another password for the certificate in case we surf the Internet, Intranet or any other network service, the 2 passwords should be different, which will make it even less vulnerable to cracking than todays passwords methods.
It may be possible, like all things are... but anyways bottom line is, things doesn't work that way, we're not meant to live for ever, we're not meant to live in this world eternally... -- Again, it _may_ be possible, but consider this:
Overpopulation - birth rate is a serious issue _nowdays_... imagine in 40 years from now on (when people get to be immortal)
If we don't die it will be likley that Mother earth will kill us, and find a way to balance it again - No living thing is meant to live for ever.
--
so, what if the earth doesn't look for a way to re-balance it, and we can actually live for ever?
well, our mind would get tired, we will be young in age and very old and detiriorated in our minds, pretty much like our grandpa's... Our brains, has a maximun capacity, but what if the brain doesn't get older? Well, Earth is pretty dirty these days, so our lungs will get really dirty, we would eventually die. What if our brains and lungs doesn't get older or dirty? -- Our muscles will get deteriorated, you see... it's meant to be, we born to die. Life's like that.
