Enjoyed the piss and vinegar. "Catwank" was the icing on the cake. Not sure if I'd want to actually eat a cake iced with catwank, but it's still a worthy creation.
until they release their dual-core Pentium M chips for desktop (i.e. what Yonah is, except not for laptops:)
Is there really any point distinguishing the two any longer? Those few people who are still buying desktops, are increasingly concerned about compactness, noise and heat dissipation. Especially as the use of media centres and living-room computers is on the rise. Even the other remaining segment of desktop users - graphics, audio, video and other creative producers - want pleasant work environments and quiet studios, even as they demand more more power.
No, but his frustration stems from the short-sightedness exhibited by Dell when it comes to AMD.
But why is this a bad thing? It allows a more competitive landscape for smaller companies, as your post demonstrates. If Dell carried AMD, it seems you would have bought Dells for your institution, rather than going to a better company. That can't be good.
With AMD, continuously beating Intel in both price and performance, it just pisses me off to see them exclusively sell Intel processors.
Why does that piss you off? Is there some reason you actually want to buy a Dell, or see Dell succeed? Seems like a very strange attitude. What's bad for Dell is good for the country.
Not only that, but VirginGalactic are using HD-DVD and Amazon are using Blu-Ray for in-flight movies. While Google Space will just stream the movies directly to your neural cortex. Unfortunately, all of them will be showing Rob Schneider movies anyway. But it's High Definition Rob Schneider!
Watching a quick commercial is a fair trade for being able to see the interview for free, and for the bandwidth it took to let me see that video for free.
This is all advertising. It's not like the content of the video was informative or useful. They are supposed to be trying to entice you to buy a product. It should cost them money. I have to pay for the bandwidth to receive the advertisement. Why should the advertisement have another advertisement embedded in it to pay for the main advertisement?
Of course, the bigger issue here is slashdot. The acticle said that it was a FUNNY video, which it was definitely not. I would normally never click on such a link, but because the author gave his/her approval, I decided to watch it. But it was not funny in the least. It doesn't feel very good to be tricked into watching advertising by a site that is supposed to contain news.
I didn't believe it at first, but this confirms to me that slashdot is paid to run advertisements disguised as news articles.
Right, Its the law and until someone changes the law its the law. SO GET OFF YOU #$% and get the law changed if you don't like it.
Seems that when the US censors free speech, it's never the government's fault. It's the individual voter's fault for letting the government get away with it. But when the same thing happens in Europe, it's "evil socialist governments" who are at fault, not the individual voters.
Nevermind the complexities of the electoral systems and how much one's vote can actually change entrenched systems. Europe bad! America good!
"If I was working for Microsoft I think I'd know it, but I'm still in Oslo, not Washington, still working for Opera." Which, of course, is not to say it won't happen... it just hasn't happened yet.
The author of this slashdot article should not have added that line at the end. The way it follows on makes it seem as if it is the Opera guy saying it. And the author has no reason to believe that Opera ever will be sold. The way it's phrased makes it sound almost inevitable.
OR are you of the mind that putting a Nativity scene in the public square, if paid for by a private entity, along side a Manora, is not legally protected religious freedom?
You said that Christians are the only ones who are censored. But do you think that Muslims or atheists would also be allowed to display their philosophies like this in a public place? the separation of church and state applies to all religions, not just Christianity. The thing is that other religions generally don't try to use government resources to evangelize. Christians are free to say whatever they want on their own dollar. Why should government be involved? Government is about running the country and its infrastructure, not promoting beliefs.
It doesn't matter. You have no evidence of any examples of anything you are talking about.
Certainly I do. Haven't heard of gay bashing? The "Intelligent Design" fiasco in places like Kansas. Christian programs that get you released early from prison. Rhetoric from the President against people who aren't Christian. the bashing and persecution of Muslims. Open your eyes.
Your politics are probably more informed by the West Wing and MTV News than actual fact.
Excuse me? I have never even seen either of those shows. And you have mentioned no facts whatsoever. Do you read the news at all?
That's just not true. Well... not entirely, anyway.
How is it not entirely true? Many people are killed who would not if the driver was going slower.
People get killed by bad drivers, who may or may not be speeding.
And speeding increases the chances of death. Do you know about this thing called physics?
The motorist driving at 60mph on a motorway, (speed limit 70mph), just 3m behind the car in front? Or someone doing 100mph on the same motorway when it's deserted?
Disingenuous, because they are not comparable situations. Speed limits can be set differently, based on the terrain. these days where I live, they even have speed limits that change (LED sign) depending on traffic conditions. I'm not sure what your argument is supposed to prove. Tailgating 3m behind someone is just as illegal as speeding. And what about all those people who speed and tailgate?
Um, I don't know anyone into BDSM who likes being punched. I think you're thinking of pain in general, rather than a few specific types of pain which can be eroticized.
Just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
rather than a few specific types of pain which can be eroticized.
Anything can be eroticized. People have fetishes over all kinds of things. Humans are very creative when it comes to sex. It really is arbitrary, and there are no limits on what "can be eroticized." I mean, some people even find anti-eroticism to be erotic.
On another level, who said that BDSM has to be about anything "erotic" anyway? Not all pleasure stems from eros. They may have other reasons to participate.
I'm taking the US perspective (as Slashdot is an USian website).
Which is what I find so weird. You are so subservient to the perceived slashdot audience (even though the audience is international) that you bend the laws of language, and possibly physics, to entertain an American viewpoint. After all, you are always "here," not there.
Yes, it's an ultra-secure system - meaning you must never forget the safe-word or there are grave consequences. Administrator privileges take on a whole new meaning.

Why do your parents each need both models of Mac Mini? Wouldn't one for each parent suffice?

That is so awesome it makes me want to drink a Pepsi Max and go heli-snowboarding.
In my part of the world, that is measured in inches. Is this some new trend, using mass? Hey baby, I'm 700 grams.
I only use tetrahedral glasses when I drink alcohol. Where are the research results on those, huh?
OK, maybe two things. Thrones will also be chairs.

By "TV-controlled dolls," do you mean humans?

Why wouldn't they be Christian? No Christian is free of sin. So you can be evil and still be a Christian. Jesus will forgive you. That's why he died.

Yes, it's an ultra-secure system - meaning you must never forget the safe-word or there are grave consequences. Administrator privileges take on a whole new meaning.
Shouldn't that be "here," or are you living outside France?
I hear they are into BDSM over there, so they probably would be quite excited if you did both.
FREEDOM SHARING is here! This is going to be almost as good as freedom kissing.
