Are you being double-backwards redundantly hilarious?.Net and Microsoft are stable now. Let's see on what platforms the largest growth for remote exploits over the last year have been, shall we?
That was my point. It should certainly be illegal to speed. If you want to take the risk, that's up to you but I'm not going to moralize to someone because they choose to speed and ask them if their parent's abuse caused them to become the dreaded "speeder" they are.
Bullshit. With what very specific hardware often found in laptops do you claim it is accelerated? Are you claiming the POS laptops used in this review have flash GPU acceleration? The only hardware accelerating Flash in these tests was the CPU.
Some people can drive safely at over the speed limit, others can't. I'm fine with speed limits and the risk of overrunning them, but don't get all preachy and pretend speeding is some great wrong.
You remind me of Christians who think they're persecuted despite being a majority in this country. What exactly did you say that was a) even vaguely controversial to your average slashdweeb and b) even tangentially rational? What does a lawful appeal of a decision one way or the other by one court by a higher court have to do with an oversight-less bureaucratic nightmare pretending Oracle and Sun is even under their purview, much less vaguely related to any kind of reasonable antitrust or monopoly issue?
The EU is a bureaucratic douchebag-ridden cesspool of idiocy. Seriously, On what basis would they prevent this? Antitrust? Give me a fucking break, the Database market is broad and deep and this won't a monopoly make.
Bullshit. If you have a 1/10000000 chance of something going bad, but that chance could cost you tens of billions of dollars, you worry about it. Life is risky, welcome to reality.
It (the ARM) would get crushed. It's not designed for that scenario. ARM is old. It's good at low power and decent performance, but it's certainly not uber technology.

The "write-only" nature of Perl doesn't matter when nobody will be reading your 200 line perl script. Furthermore, even for some types of larger automation tasks you're more likely to find a System Admin type who can hack at your Perl application than e.g. Java or Ruby or Python or C#.
I'm as much of a snob when it comes to people writing big ass applications in Perl as the next guy, but it has its place in certain scenarios and for certain tasks.
Yeah, because nukes are used so often in conflicts.
If someone nukes one of our carrier groups you should hide in the basement because the shit will most definitely hit the fan and life as you know it will change forever. You don't always design your military based on Worse Case scenarios. In the worst case pretty much everything will suck for everyone in the world anyway.
Brilliant argument. Dell will indeed do it, they're trying to use legal means to avoid doing it. It's called "the law" - look into it. The affected party doesn't just have to do whatever some asshole judge tells him to with no recourse in all cases.
You guys are...special. Intel spends all that money because it reduces the cost, to them, of producing chips. AMD is reasonably close to Intel, are they spending all that money too? If Intel slacked off their pace AMD would pull even or ahead like they did in the P4 days.
Intel moves as fast as they can based on business decisions about the cost/benefit of spending money on R&D and fabs. Not based on Moore's "law".
If Intel could move faster and it would make them more money, they would speed ahead of Moore's. If they determined they didn't need to, they would fall behind it.
More importantly, Moore's law isn't accurate for shit. Do the math. It's a good high level description and if you pick specific periods of time. It has also been changed to suit people's needs...12 months, 24 months, 18 months. It's a load of shit as anything other than a very rough estimate.
Are you aware of any cable boxes which have HDMI but which don't have component video cables? If people are so worried about HDCP, why not just capture from component video, it supports broadcast quality HD video. It's not encrypted. So why cry about HDMI, again?

You're right. Any mention of a product released by the most successful software company in history is _totally_ astroturfing.
Quick, what irrelevent sub .05% market share Linux release just got published?
Actually it is HD. Sorry, you don't know what you're talking about. Please see its video output capabilities.

And Microsoft, apparently judging from around here.

Yeah, because conventional weaponry never blinds anyone.
As a language it is an abomination. As a tool used for its intended purpose it's a masterpiece.
Wouldn't a better approach be 150(hyperlinked)nm(/hyperlinked). Then you are clear and you educate. Six millionth's of an inch? Wtf?

Anyways... Intel seriously uses Moore's Law as their road map so its a self predicting prophecy.
No, they don't. It's descriptive, not something that ties your hands or, conversely, guarantees anything.
Yeah, and Intel's kind of new in the field so I doubt they know what they're talking about.
As above, what about component video? Why not rip from there, it's not encrypted, right?
