"And what would you call redefining phosphorus as a 'chemical weapon'?"
Just an aside, when the defination or classification of something is being questioned it is generally considered rude (outside of political circles anyway) to claim a party is redefining or reclassifing some object. Since Slashdot isn't classified as a Political Forum (it's a Geek News website,) and it's classification is not in question, you sir, are officially an asshat.
A startup is not going to have near the capacity that IBM or Intel has. Even given the two years that this processor is slated to come out in, I don't see that changing dramatically enough to suit Apple. Just my $0.02 USD.
Read about it here
"After testing American-specifcation laser speed guns, London's Daily Mail newspaper concludes that the popular LTI 20-20 Ultralyte model is prone to "wild" errors. Specifically, a wall was found to travel at 44 MPH, an empty road 33 MPH, a parked car 22 MPH, and a slow-moving bicycle at 66 MPH. These findings match those of the BBC who investigated the same device in March and September."
One would be STUPID to think that our devices can't be wrong, defective, etc. Just look at how many defective computer parts have been shipped in the brief history of Computing.
I'm using Firefox with the Adblock plugin on this computer.
Granted, webserfing on a 500mHz PentIII is pretty decent, until you meet a page with a ton of Flash ads. When ads are slowing down my computer, invading my privacy, insulting my intelect, or flashing enough to make half the people in the room go into convulsions... they get blocked. And never unblocked.
But what happens if the sniper's first shot takes out your REDOWL unit? Are these things armoured, and would a robot with enough armour to stop an AP round have the endurance to keep up with soldiers? Shoot, this is a good idea (no pun intended) but is it practical for the battlefield?
My personal explination for this, is that Neanderthal intermarried with Modern Man, (thus becoming more like him,) and giving rise to the Neo-Con movement within the Republican party. /me cackles madly. Doesn't Bush look like a monkey?
It's something I've found myself doing, and a few other english/techie friends of mine do as well. You will be reading, and your mind will automatically correct the small mistakes it makes. I call it "reading-out" the mistakes, for lack of a better term, but would gladly accept pointers on what it's called. As for the multiple bylines... newbie mistake. We all make them.

You're right. I took two parts of an idea, and forgot to connect them. /me baps myself across the forehead.
What I was trying to point out, was the declining cost of computer hardware in general, and trying feebly to question why a networking card would have such a high price point. Seems like charging a bit much for one special feature. When you have businesses questioning if it is worth the extra cost...
The lower end of computers is going for ~300-400 dollars, from the latest Dull circular mailing I've recieved. How, preytell, is an ethernet card designed to "(reduce) the load on the servers CPUs and improve the communications between the servers" when you can just buy another server for the price of a few of these bad boys?
I hope it doesn't tear. Hate to pay a ton of money for the newest, best of anything, and have it ripped asunder by being flimsy. =) Also, can it give you papercuts?
Those documents can't be trawled without a court order
That could be changing, if Bush gets his way and gets an expanded PATRIOT act. I hate to push the conspiricy button, but it seems like we've gone closer to Big Brother in the last 5 years than we ever have before. Not to mention the other signs of the Apocalypse: Apple switching to Intel, Windows to PPC, and Firefly getting picked back up again by a network.
Nothing I've seen beats the Paper calander. Customizable notes, available with any wallpaper you could ask for, and quirky quotes available upon request. User can edit most all of the interface by writing, cutting, and/or pasting objects into the suqres and into the pictures. Beat that, Outlook 2003!

Someone made an X-Box 360 topic icon?
We have a way out ... of the Microsoft Upgrade Tax.
Hope these people have as much fun reclaiming their karma and public image as I'm about to. =P
I'd say the only "analog hole" the RIAA wants to plug would require us emptying our wallets then bending over...
Run the heat in the winter with Intel chips! Just do batch-processing, or some intense rendering work.

Was I the only one to misread the title as "Microsoft adopts Viral licenses"?

Pentium 4's will be obsolete and not in mainstream usage.

Windows Long^H^H^H Vista
- Monad CLI
- WinFS
+ Monitor HDMI DRM
+ Hardware DRM
? WPF (Ported to XP/2003)
? WCF (Ported to XP/2003)
? WinFX (Ported to XP/2003)
(*Question marks are ment as a "Why would someone upgrade when they can get this for the current OS?)
So... we see Microsoft's true intention with Vista. DRM.
Kill Vista?

Or does obsfucating code and open source sound like they don't belong in the same sentence? (Yes, I did RTFA. Just curious as to the response.)
Want me to make you a calendar, complete with whirling blades of death. It shall be booth shaped, and have two killing speeds.
