I agree with you, however if Sony had asked for permission to use the inside of the church then the church would probably have said no. This way they get to keep it in the game I think (I didn't rtfa so don't know if anything changed in the game).
The correct response to this article is meh, who cares, really. Ubuntu are not going directly after enterprise support, are engaging the community, bringing in new users. And it's not like most other projects don't have silly numbering schemes, they just have marketese to hide the numbers. Ubuntu are not like other companies and the 'silly' naming scheme they have gets them mentioned more that most.
But then I think that you should be able to use any computer that is in front of you regardless of the actual OS it is using.
They are also trying to get mentioned a lot, grow brand recognition. Also IE7 being 7.0.5730.11, is oh so helpful to non-developers.
Use RAID 6, you can lose any 2 disks and still have all the data, means that data is secure whilst the array is rebuilding from a single failed drive.
Alright you could lose 3 disks at once but that is much less likely than losing one or two, especially if the failure/rebuild occurs quickly.
I don't get this, in the UK (and most of Europe I believe) the major PSTN network (think ma bell) is required to sell ADSL, phone lines, and capacity at wholesale prices to whoever wants it. So as long as you can get a phone line you can choose from upwards of 100 companies to actually supply you with phone and internet service. That's not even counting the cable and wireless solutions which are also available.
But then this was in response to BT having a monopoly and not wanting to duplicate the entire infrastructure. Don't see why america can't have a similar system where different companies provide the infrastructure and another the service, would increase competition and make a cheaper better service for all. Well I suppose this would require legislation and regulation so would be bad in the american psyche.
They are becoming a legacy, it's harder and harder to find PS/2 motherboards on Dell machines. DVI-I is a DVI-D and a VGA port in one connector, you just need a dongle which are not hard to come by. You can even get USB to PS/2 connectors. You're gonna have to change, because everything is going to change in the end and you'll just end up in twenty years saying PATA is the future.
Australia has about 25 million citizens (guessing so could be wrong), America is closer to 300 million so just guessing that it's a different kettle of fish when you're dealing with a country 12 times larger.
This has probably been said on here already but microsoft have designed the scale to allow for FUTURE growth in performance, otherwise we'd end up having spinal tap logic (it goes to 11). So yes it is silly, but at least they were thinking of how much faster you'd need to get to run Vista with any sort of performance.
I don't like Sony machines, they don't come with XP drivers, they still sell a $1450 ($3000) core solo machine with only 1GB RAM w/ Vista, which runs like an absolute dog. So yes they are small and cute but for anyone who wants to do actual work and not just look at the prettiness all day long think about something else, the new 2510p from HP is out in a month or two (if not already) and looks fantastic for half the price you get twice the speed and it's small and I think cute so clearly something to wait for.
Sorry that's just plain wrong, there is a dire need for 64bits in certain fields, but then if your only concerned with desktop office work then I can see your point, but to any serious number cruncher 64bit has been a long time coming and we can only hope it comes along faster and compatibility gets better.
I was trying to sound pretentious and it would appear that I succeeded. I do think I'm smarter and better read than most of the chattering classes. So thanks for saying I hit exactly where I was aiming at.
I was just referring to the large portion of/. who don't have social skills who will see similarities with Asperger's syndrome, I certainly did even though I don't have it (although my ma thinks I do, the doctors don't)
Now that I would pay for. Don't get me wrong it's great that kids are reading but seriously adults could we all read something a little more challenging some Eco perhaps, Hofstadter, Orwell or Burroughs even. Ah well never mind, I've chosen not to read or watch anything related to potter because it just doesn't interest me, give me something which makes me think and I'm there. On the other hand the Curious incident of the dog in the night, whilst also a children's book would probably appeal to most of the readers of/. being about a kid with Aspergers syndrome.
However a SATA HDD is still an IDE HDD, and by the same token PCIe is not a bus, I was just correcting the use of IDE because this is _not_ a bus but something describing the fact that the drive controller and drive are in the same physical device. So thanks for the correction regarding SATA, but don't use IDE as it is just plain wrong (as are so many other people).
Unless of course you are stupid enough (seriously why are they still shipping Core Solo machines running vista, because that's not a good experience of Vista) to buy a VAIO which ONLY have Vista drivers, damn stupid Sony, yet another reason not to give them money.
Just to be picky but I've recently had a office 2007 document which wouldn't open in office 2003, 2004 (on a Mac) or 2007. However it would open in Open office and Text edit... So office is not always compatible with itself...
Um we do under the MS Campus agreement, so called work at home rights, but you can only use the OS and Office for "work" purposes, however you are supposed to police that without breaking the law (in the UK) god only knows.
Sorry but I've used many bank sites (in the UK) and not had a single problem in the 4 years or so (v0.8) I've been using FF. Alright if I was in Korea then I would have to use IE (custom active X shit does encryption, not SSL/TLS like most sensible places).

It's the far more sensible 123 over here in the UK and it's still going far as I know.

Clearly they were all in thermal equilibrium and therefore A==B==C.

So when did /. become news for MBA muppets? The "that's what they do in business" is a load of crap which few here actually care about.

Damnit, I was bored and wanted to heap scorn on people, there just weren't any whom I felt I could....
You missed out 3 in your list.

IDE is not a bus, don't confuse this with ATA (more recently SATA and PATA). IDE == Integrated Drive Electronics.

Do you mean the IEEE 488?
No to assume makes an ass of u and me.
I'm sorry but it really did have to be said...
