i hope they soon realize the next time they order fish in a restaurant that the fish comes from the same ocean that they sunk those ships, all that water circulates so pollution one part of the ocean gets around to the rest...
dude, you can get a used but decent laptop on craigslist for around 100 to 200 bucks, any more than that you might as well buy a new one (with included warranty)...
if watching porn is all a customer wants then even a netbook is not necessary, just get one of those portable DVD players.
i think netbooks fill a niche, for those that want to read a website's text and don't want all the high end audio/video media, like slashdot or other websites with news and information, plus netbooks are good for email & basic office tools (school & work environment). it dont take 3D accelerated graphics to read text but most all high resolution video (and games) require a good quality video card and driver along with some decent screen realestate...
looks like microsoft has a high turnover rate, could be a lot of employees walk off the job later and microsoft has to keep fresh faces coming in to replace them...
yup, that is why I would dump this code microsoft donated in to the trash = not even include it in the kernel, and just leave it up to microsoft to to offer it as a third party patch.
i guess everyone will have to hire a lawyer before they install any software, its a shame that lengthy and complicated wording in EULAs are used to hide intrusive spyware & malware and just plain malicious behavior, i hope EULAs like that NEVER stand up in court
i am going to go in to bestbuy every week and wear down the employees with every talking point i can muster showing Linux is better, they will be running to mcdonalds asking for employment applications after i get done with them.
if the US Gov gets any more czars this place is going to start looking like Russia before the soviet era, it could be a government plot to make post soviet Russia jealous.
from what i heard on the radio this morning North Korea's counterfeiting of US currency is a much bigger threat, if i was president i would have already bombed anything bigger than a box of pencils over there, just search for "North Korean Supernotes" and there is plenty of news about it...
as a long time Slackware user (since 8.0) I have to agree, I watched Slackware go from a single CD distro to the bloated mess it is now, xorg is a damn mess (blame that on xorg developers), kde-4.x is a really buggy mess (blame that on kde developers), I think 12.2 will be my last Slackware, I am going to switch to Crux Linux, I would rather start with a minimal installation and build up from there, i am sure if i installed Slackware without X & kde it would run fine, then there is the job of sorting out all the crap in/l that are no longer required since there will be no X, Crux makes that easier...
Pat V. is a great assembler of packages in to a distro but I think more work should go in to the install CD/DVD directories separating the/l dir in to several dirs so you dont have libraries only needed for kde in there too (put them in/kde), same with gtk only libraries (make a new/gtk directory), it is like a huge tub of fish and not everyone likes or wants all the fish in there.
I will say in the ten years of using Linux Slackware is most definitely one of the better distros out there.

i hope you fall off your fat wallet and break your freakin' neck you rich bastard, and i hope the BBC, NPR, AP & UPI gives you nightmares...
microsoft not only has dominance on the desktop & laptops, they also have damn near 100% market share in the EVIL department too.
when cable broadband oversells their service and they have more customers than their system can handle? i guess they can do that all they want now?
well look at the bright side of this economic recession = less people can afford broadband internet so there is more broadband to go around.

or an even more advanced hardware signature for wifi authentication? something has to be done because wpa/tkip & wpa2/aes are fast becoming insecure
or...
build a desktop system with a couple of terabytes of disk space & Linux & MythTV
i just hope microsoft does not patent the spreading of FUD, just think of the implications of that, TV & radio advertising would never be the same
