I agree. Quite frankly, given that only one small manufacturer is reporting issues, and that they were able to resolve the issue on their end, makes me believe the issue is more with the router.
"Black hole" router detection algorithm. XP gains the ability to ignore network routers that incorrectly drop certain kinds of network packets. This, too, is a feature of Windows Vista.
When AMD filed the initial suit, the claim was something like 300 pages, with a whole slew of companies cooperating in the suit, willing to testify.
Still you miss the point entirely. This has little to do with price.
And Intel has already been found guilty of antitrust violations in other countries, because of the exclusionary contracts.
Dell, as you may know, the biggest PC company out there, refused to carry AMD processors even when AMD processors where smoking the P4 line.
There was also some accusations of shady practices when Intel stole the Apple contract away from AMD out of the blue. Apple had been openly courting AMD, and then signed with Intel when no one even thought Intel was being considered. At the time the deal was signed, AMD's processors ran faster, were cheaper, and used less power. Perhaps Apple had the foresight to see that Intel was going to regain the performance upper-hand, but there were certainly allegations again of bullying/threats that landed the exclusive contract.
I believe Intel is currently in trouble in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, the EU and now the States for antitrust. Yet you insist clearly they've done nothing wrong.
Taiwan and the EU were coming down on issues from 2003-2007. I'm not sure if the practices are still happening or not, but I haven't seen anything that suggests they've stopped the practices of bullying and extortion.
The issue isn't the price of the CPUs, but rather forcing vendors to exclude other products, or refusing to ship products they've already paid for, and other such nonsense.
If you want references, try Google and Wikipedia. Perhaps you've heard of them.
You don't have to have a monopoly to comit illegal business practices. Conversely, you can have a legal monopoly that doesn't violate antitrust laws.
Intel violated the concept of competition by threatening companies unless they only carried Intel products. They threatened to hold off shipments of paid products, etc. etc.
They've already been found guilty of antitrust in other countries. AMD claimed to have a mountain of evidence, and several companies willing to testify. I'm shocked it has taken this long to even really open the case in the US. The sad thing is that it almost worked out for Intel, that by breaking the law, they almost drove AMD out of business. At that point, a fine doesn't matter because they would have total market share.
I doubt the PS1 emulator in Linux would work very well on the PS3, because Linux runs through a hypervisor on the PS3. You don't have access to any 3D acceleration through the GPU, where all the power is.
No 3D acceleration would likely kill PS1 emulation via Linux.
And the PS store does give the added benefit of allowing you to take the games with you on your PSP as well.
I bought Castlevania Symphony of Darkness through the store, because I never actually had the game on the PS1.
You bring up a very good point that I was thinking about earlier. The federal government has no real authority to do I'd say 75% of the things it does given a strict interpretation of the Constitution, yet citizens expect and demand a good deal of services from the Federal Government.
I could suggest that democracy in action has yielded a good deal amount of power, even if it wasn't implicitly stated, so that the federal government do more.
Does the government have the right? Arguably no. Should they however attempt to provide services that the people want? That's a good question.
think about how to incentivize that outcome
That is a matter of semantics. We increased spending on education across the board, but we're penalizing those who perform poorly. You could look at it as those who perform well are getting more money under the new system.
What standards have been lowered? NCLB didn't tell schools to give higher grades to underachievers. NCLB punishes schools who aren't educating their kids. How does that lower the bar?
If the school administration and teachers are stressed out, that is likely poor management/administration. Grade inflation and giving A's to idiots doesn't help on the metrics being used here, which are the standardized tests.
I understand that cramming for a test isn't as effective in long term education as practical knowledge, but if you know of a better way to establish a base line metric that isn't easily cheated or inflated, please let me know.
I have never once seen Firefox use 12 gigs of RAM. That being said, I'm not doubting it may be possible given a specific build, and specific combination of extensions.
1 - Backup and then delete your Mozilla profile. 2 - Install a fresh copy of Firefox 3 RC2. 3 - Watch your memory problems go away.
Every single time there is a post about Firefox on Slashdot, someone whines about how Mozilla refuses to address memory issues.
1 - Firefox 3 uses far less memory than Firefox 2. 2 - Most "memory leaks" come from poorly written extensions. Turn them all off and check out the difference. 3 - The biggest reason Firefox starts using a slew of memory after a bunch of browsing isn't a bug, but literaly a feature. It keeps fully rendered versions of pages in memory, so when you hhit the Back button, it can pull them up quicker. You can disable this feature if you want. 4 - People have this misconception that they should never use their memory. Unused memory does you no good. 5 - Next time try Google before you post a stupid quesiton.
I'm not sure anyone understands the program, or the issues here. Enforcing common standards is a good thing, and yet it blamed universally when anything outside the standards isn't taught any more.
I think it is possible to teach crucial curriculum and still find time for other classes. The problem is that teachers have little to no control over children in an overly litigious society of hyper-sensitive parents.
And more often than not, you either have both parents working, or a single parent household, where the parent may not connect with their child enough. So when a teacher attempts to tell a parent of their child's failing, they don't want to believe it.
We have developed this society where teachers are terrified of instilling discipline (I'm not talking about hitting kids, but rather just instilling order) so that children don't feel the need to take education seriously.
Our countries in the world manage to pull off superior public education programs, not necessarily because of funding, but I believe because of cultural differences in which education is taken far more seriously.
Universally blaiming "No Child Left Behind" isn't actually addressing the issues of what's seriously wrong. Conversely, I think the the concept of NCLB is a very good one. We spend more money on education. We attempt to raise the bar of public education, and hold states accountable for poor results.
There is a great disparity between what a child in rural Alabama, a child inner-city New York, and another say here in Omaha (my town) receives in education. Individual states and school districts should have freedom and flexibility in determining their curriculum, but having a bare-minimum standard of education all American children should be given is a GOOD THING.
If you want to see what's really wrong with public education, don't blame a politician for spending more money on education. Read some Jonathon Kozol.
When he heard someone had been shot in the face, and knew nothing else of a case, he insisted the shooter must play videogames, because only hitmen and gamers shoot people in the face.
I'd say that pretty much qualifies.
I also find it odd that you criticize someone for remote diagnosis, only to offer a diagnosis yourself.

SP3 borrows a Vista feature (presumably the same code) to detect "Router Black Holes".

Windows 3.1 developed an ice cream flavor called HogginDOS.
For what it is worth, I have no problems with USB or field data with SP3.

I for one welcome our new radioactive overlords.
Press hot grits to continue.
In Soviet Russia, reactor reboots you.
Yes, but does the reactor run Linux?
1) Break crucial system on reactor with update
2) Sell real update
3) Profit!
Adds a whole new meaning to "Critical Update".

And yet BSD apparently is not. Certified Unix just means you have the cash to pay for certification.
I believe the OS X Widgets and the Google Gears widgets are being called via JS for this reason.

Sony sell's PS1 games from their store. You can download them, play them on your PS3, and even stream them wirelessly to your PSP.
Odd that this article wasn't given a section in Slashdot. I think YRO would be a fine place for dealing with piracy. Books would also work.
