Correct, thanks. The similarly styed desktops had a heaping portion of ugly as well, but the clamshell laptops were an order of magnitude worse... not that I have an opinion.
It's strange that the early multi-coloured iMac laptops are not on the list. I still have nightmares of the semi-transparent coloured plastic fad those things 'inspired'. I think I might vote for those as the ugliest computer ever designed. It's especially strange given that the later laptops are some of the nicest looking machines around.
Apparently the reason for Linux iwas for better taxation in the EU. They claimed it was a computer, not a game console and paid less import fees. I would have bought a slim after the price drop if they'd kept the Linux support.
I find it very surprising that the most open eReader on the market today is the Sony. I always though that was one of the 7 signs of the apocalypse. They must be catching on to what consumers actually want.... I hope Apple is paying attention.
I've heard the Iliad is amazing, but I think it's about 700$.
That's completely true. This ensures that you have the patches in memory as well. I've been using it for about 6 months, and it's very cool. There's a few little things, like 'uname -a' gives the old version, and you can't really hibernate after an in-memory patch, but the product is great, and the company has answered any questions I've asked them.
management teams of companies like Apple — not even one woman.
Well, it is Apple... there's no *women*, but...
More seriously, it's interesting, but has little bearing on anything. Anyone done any studies on the lack (or excess) of LGBT in tech or venture capital?
I kind of like the idea of people needing to pay to play online, only because it puts a bit of monetary incentive on not beng an ass-hat. There's a bit of dis-incentive to mod your console, use in-game exploits, etc. There will still be ass-hats, but hopefully fewer of them.

Early failure is one of the advantages of agile software development as well. The earlier you fail, the less it costs.
As far as I've seen, those warnings are given to people downloading using P2P, which also counts as distribution.
That's still way better than using Lotus Notes.
that's got gold plated connectors and electrolytes and stuff...
It's what networks crave!

I can see from my house.
Tracking the information is not evil, it's what they do with the information once they have it.
save for Apple.
Is that will, reflex, or fortitude?
Come on man, even a 5 year old should install /home on a separate partition. Frikkin' n00bs.
It doesn't need to run automatically. You do have the opportunity to run a test suite against a non-production patched kernel if you require that.

With IBM, you even have to pay for MIPS in some cases, on top of the cost of hardware.
Apparently hiring dictators can work.
You wouldn't believe the effort it took to keep the letter 'k' out of that word.

So, basically if it was the same as XBox Live?
It would still annoy a very large number of people.

It sucks. To compile, it makes you hold you mouse sideways ... gangsta style.
everyone would be jumping up and down screaming that Apple is being too controlling. It's truly a no-win.
Yeah, because nobody would tolerate that.
Just say no. I don't.
You're not female, are you?
Don't forget lobbyists.
Because they think they can get away with it, especially with what they see as a larger market opportunity in the iPad.
