P.S. We all have busted it, but we'd like to see it advertised on national TV to our bosses.
Favorite Myth: Lightning in the Shower/Bathtub. Too bad the safety squad wouldn't let you power up the pc while testing.
Findings from Consumer Reports/NTSB should be weighed slightly heavier than reports from Ford/Firestone.
In this case, MS funded "independent" findings from reports should be filed alongside the rest of the junk mail you get everyday. (Is there a new as yet unknown large group of web users in need of fake rolexes?)
MS promising something community minded?
This might be just the thing to bring MS Office to the masses. A real boost in sales to make it a contender in the workplace.
I think I'll stay with OO.org until They promise something evil instead.
On a side note, AFAICT, This changes nothing in Mass. They decided on.ODT and friends +.pdf. Although MS probably can re-submit the new "Open" offce formats (Sounds strange using MS and open in the same sentence.)
" Why do embedded developers continue to imprison themselves in the GPL trap by using Linux"
Philisophically, You are an ass. Embedded are Developers are Developers first, Linux Developers Second, Embedded Linux Developers third. Except for the few that are being trained by GreenHills and VX, most embedded Linux guys used to be Linux Guys.
I don't know if you have heard, but we like to share. We like our products to live and grow. We like to create flexability and freedom.
But, I say freedom you say IMPRISON. What are you afraid of, people (shuddder) seeing your code? How am I imprisoned by acknowledging other peoples works? How am I imprisoned by allowing my users the freedom to edit and modify thier code?
Oh, I see I am imprisoned because I cannot deny my users that flexability. I cannot hide my mistakes, vulnerabilities. I can hold out updates for cash. I'm not free enough to imprison the user! I don't want to be that free. I don't want my code that free. I don't want IBM that free. I sure as hell don't want my code turned into some rebranded product with no acknowledgments of the efforts of myself and others.
Surely you can understand these chains bind me to the rest of humanity. Didn't they teach sharing in your preschool.
Our Embedded Linux 200mhz ARM: grayscale..sigh no touchscreen..sigh no wifi...sigh no X....yeah.

Maybe next year.
Then how come some films are considered "works of art" when they are also created to entertain?
And a lot of conventional art is created to feed the artist.
"some films"?, gotta be more specific. Conventional Art?
Art can be sold to sustain the artist, but that does not mean it was created for that purpose. It was created to exist and be appreciated if it also feeds the artist that is secondary.
I can't see picking up an X360 for gaming. I own 2 X-Box consoles, 90% for my Media Center Extenders, 10% for my broad's vampire games. Since back in the day, my gaming was PC gaming. Castlevania and Conan, Ultima, Utopia, etc.
You Got a gaming chic, and you call her a broad. Show some respect damnit, some of us aren't so lucky. Treasure your gift my friend.
I can't even get past the opening cinematic of Prince of Persia Warrior Within without my lovely wife requiring my assistance.
One of the lessons I learned a long time ago is you have to have a machine running to use the on-line help.
First, Assuming you arrive onsite to a machine "not running"( What no power? No Console? No X?) What situation are you going to use these binders for without the "machine running"
Second...You go offsite with no system of your own?
How much would you pay for a minitaure electronic USB-Rechargable battery operated Version of your binders? Ebook? Maybe a complete linux distro? man info html txt removable storage? Sounding better
Don't answer yet. No actually, answer, how much is reasonable? What are the minimum requirements. Not a laptop, Not a PDA, Not another mp3player. Just checkin.
Many many software companies based their products on the existance of Windows, does MS have the authority to ask for a cut of the sales?!!
You just shut the hell up there mister. We don't need to give MS easy ways to be more evil, they have years of experience squeezing the marketplace for cash. I think we should all pretend we didn't see that.
They can also tell you that today is your last day for no reason at all. Or worse, call you after you've left for the day and tell you not to come back.
This is different for contract work how?
I work in Florida a "right to work" state. Pretty much "right to fire" too.
He says "every marketing cent" will be spent on targeting women, based on the theory that "men will follow".
Yeah, I know when my wife says "I'm watching a Lifetime special", I always follow her straight to the tv.
Meanwhile, Quietly (cheaply), they are screaming "Naked Female Sex Game" at the male target audience outlets. (ie SlashDot) Notice the aversion to words "Porn Game". Most women hate porn games. Most women will likely hate this one too, No matter how much money you throw at the Oxygen Channel.
I can't believe there's already about 15 comments and nobody's made the remarkably easy joke yet about how the tech/games industry is definitely "box"-less.
Debian neeeds not worry until the same happens with the same result. The problem in deciding to TM is that you have to therafter actively defend your trademark ( Like the LMI does now )or you lose it.(Carries with it some bad press, Debian does not need).
All the Distributions need to do more to make sure the trademark is attributed in all relevant places to Linus though.
Is there some other source of news that covers your interest better that we are keeping you from?
No, I think you check here for the discussion. Its kinda the point of the site to foster discussion about news items that interest/affect us. You can always watch G4 for your gaming news. BTW they usually cover 2 Slashdot stories a day.
I'm constantly amazed by the amount of complaining that's done here, I'd complain but that would be hypocritcal, no?
Favorite Quote is: after being asked for a list of books to exclude one publisher said -
FTFA: We're not aware of everything we've published," Sanfilippo said. "Back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, there were no electronic files for those books."
Well the this would be of no benefit to you whatsoever.
Where is the threat? Industrius googlers terminal hopping to get a full book printed out?
The use of this technology drives sales. Say I'm doing research on a subject and need to know where a commonly known quote came from.
Google presents Book, Publisher, Author, Page Number and Scan of the text I'm interested in. Purchase Link is right there.
If it is relevant to my research I can depart with my hard earned cash right from the comfort of my own browser. Brilliant.
Neither do I, But my Debian/Cedega box has no problems with HL2. I use the term no very loosely. Read minimal.
I will not however be purchasing anymore Steam Games, for reasons already covered by well, everyone I know that had their accounts stolen/hacked. Valves Response: Buy it again. FU

Games can be artistic in style.
Art is art for the sake of art. Games are games for the sake of entertainment.
