According to the study, from researchers at the University of Arizona, phones have up to 25,127 germs per square inch, keyboards 3,295 per square inch and computer mice 1,676 per square inch.
I bet this guy is working as a team with the chief nuclear scientist of pakistan who sells technology to countries like Iran. The next we know is Pakistan sells NASA technology to Iran and Iran launches spy satellites:)
You say putting it up on MTV is not a bad move. May I know why? MTV is one of the most popular pay channels. MS might have figured that if you dont pay for your digital cable then you might not be in a position to pay for an expensive gaming console and plus fork out $50 for the game titles every month. And you wont subscribe to Xbox live for sure. So you are NOT a potential buyer of XBox 2. So why even spend money to target you and the likes.
About running Linux. Once you have paid money for the console. And made Bill happy do what ever you please. Trash it, use it as a coffee mug holder or run Linux. MS doesnt care a damn.
And yes sir... MTV no more makes money only on Music Videos...
so my advice is... move on.. MTV did, MS did and so did Linus (moved on from BitKeeper)
with xbox2 MS might be venturing into hardware. Read this:
Recent news stories report that Microsoft may design their own chips for the Xbox 2 design. This means that the manufacturers of the current Xbox console may be out of the picture. For the Xbox 1, NVidia had won the bid to supply the graphics chips for the Xbox, and Intel won the bidding war against the CPU manufacturer AMD.
Let all the/.ers unite and protest. Lets not buy from Best Buy. Let the bastards starve. Then all the employees there, including the cashier will have to pose nude for 'PlayBoy Best Buy edition'. I really dig that blonde chick at the store... finally I can get a glimpse;)
Correct me if I'm wrong. I remember reading somewhere that MS hold many many patents of code/methodologies used in Open Source. If this is true then I guess Open Source exists only because MS defends the patents passively.
I would rather go to walmart/ best buy and buy off the shelf home theater system. If there aren't any as described in the article, I will wait for Sony to make one. Its too much of hassle to build your own. Especially when you are dealing with different components from different manufacturers. Look at Windows Media Center OS. Any high schooler can put together a super entertainment center. Utility? Not much. Hassle? a lot.
Now they can put the robot we saw in action here in space and have them fight the ultimate war of the machines. Imagine you having nuke armed robots on mars attacking flying robots over jupiter... pretty cool
If it really runs Linux then every 30 minutes it will freeze, halt all operations, spit out print outs of baseless FUDs against Microsoft and then carry on.
If it runs windows then every time it tries to communicate with any other Robot that does not run windows it will spit out an error message "The cheap ass robot next to me does not follow MS standards and follows alternate standards approved by the rightful authorities. Please ask them it buy windows."

I'm not an expert in this but as with any sort of leasing you will have to hand out the additional buck upfront but you can save a lot of overheads. Will it be more expensive? yes ofcourse... but then you can save on huge investments right away.
At this rate soon we will have processors that are capable of rendering real video instead of animation. Or say animation as real as videio footage. Imagine you can select characters like Brad Pit or Tom Cruse for the game. Way to go...
With you dial up it would take you even more from other sources than torrents.
hey... with a dial up why would you even attempt to download any video content?
"programs are at times behind by up to 8 months" whaaaatttt??? I guess I can still go there and watch the last episode of FRIENDS being aired for the first time:)
More than 100 applicants to top US business schools, including Harvard and Stanford, sought to end months of nail-biting over whether they would be admitted by hacking into MBA admissions sites. But even the ones who got good news may be in for an unwanted surprise. Harvard said it was reconsidering the status of the hackers who had initially been approved for admission.
This is how Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines it:
1 a : the collection and editing of news for presentation through the media b : the public press c : an academic study concerned with the collection and editing of news or the management of a news medium 2 a : writing designed for publication in a newspaper or magazine b : writing characterized by a direct presentation of facts or description of events without an attempt at interpretation c : writing designed to appeal to current popular taste or public interest
Its not enimity. Its just what an average Joe wants. EASE OF USE. I want to have my OS up and running within minutes. Read this article from the slashdot hall of fame:
Windows is one of the safest OS around (and to keep it that way it is advised that the computer should not be connected to internet or any other network for that matter)
these are the type of applications where the OS would be really tested. And finally who will be responsible if people loose precious money because of some kid running a 10 line worm? But did they have an option? No. The corporates have to embrace technology to have the edge in competition. And for such an application what will they choose? Windows which is known to have security holes or Linux which might have unreported flaws and methodologies that is patented my Microsoft?

Can any body tell me if this is inline with what George Bush has in mind for the space program? Heard that he has many ambitious plans.
