It sounds like vista is to xp, as ME was to win98. I don't see anything revolutionary in it that is worth spending money upgrading. The article hits it right on the spot I think. It doens't seem to improve the core OS, it just seems like they are adding/fixing other software like IE7 and Windows Defender. Most people I know have moved to firefox to fix their browser security issues and have at least a few anti-spyware solutions.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem like they could even break software compatibility with XP users since they are so similar.
If we follow the logic of the **AA's, we should shut down all interstate highways as well. It has been shown that interstate highways are used to transport illegal drugs, firearms, etc. (legal uses be damned!)
Yeah, sounds stupid doesn't it? This is business with grokster is no different.
I think we can assume it is a bitch-smack from the courts, and not a voluntary action, seeing that there is a link to the respectcopyrights website on the bottom of the page.
Yes, I would agree that math and science are not equal. However, math is used to build models and explain observed scientific phenomenon. Science as studied today could not exist without math.
I'm not going to argue with your point on replacing someone's job with cheap online labor, but it does look like the HIT's that require editing product descriptions are reviewed, and you only get paid if your descriptions is chosen.
I LOVED that game!!! Funny thing is that the first thing I thought of when I read the article was the commander bot spraying green nano-bots to create these things...
The key to increasing performance on a machine is to identify and solve the bottleneck on speed (ie your system is only as fast as the slowest component). For most people, this is most likely their hard disks. Seeing as the premium memory is only 3% faster than the regular stuff shows that its not much of a bottleneck. I think most people will see a better speed improvement by upgrading to 10,000RPM HD's in a RAID-0 configuration. After doing this in a system, the speed difference was like night and day.
Thats why I am always looking for best "bang for my buck." The only thing that can usually tell the difference between my $200 vid card and the $500 is FRAPS.
I don't know whats going on wiht your google IG, but my weather is right from my home city. and I love the fact htat you can totally customize where your info is on the screen, and how much to display.

Seriously, I thought this was an awsome looking game from when I saw the first screenshots.... but then delay.... delay...DELAY....
I have come to expect delays from blizzard, and I don't mind because the end product is a game of higher quality. But I'm starting to wonder if this game has started down the road to vaporware.
Does anyone remember the scene in Terminator 2 when Arnie shoots the frozen T-1000 and it smashes to a million pieces, only to coalesque back into a big glob of liquid metal again?
For some reason that image came to mind when reading this article.....
Because I am dying to show off my sweet Atari ST, still in perfect working order. I have many find memories playing the original zork on that baby..... damn that was a sweet computer at the time!
Yes, I can honestly say that nothing is as distracting as that damn phone at work!! And not only do you have an office phone but a personal cell phone and most often a work cell phone. If I am in the middle of something and have to answer a phone call, it takes a good 10 minutes to get back to the same work pace I was in before when I was "in the zone" so to speak.
IT workers and programmers need mandatory "do not disturb" signs on their doors!!!
Yes, because of Windows, there is no longer such a thing as "the hobbyist" for the most part. Everyone and their grandmother uses a computer. And anyone who uses it for anything other than browsing web sites and checking email get bothered every day to clean virii and spyware off of other's computers. Anyone who was considered a hobbyist is now the guy to go to when pr0n has taken over your computer...

1 wordfor you: Zork

Oh, how little some people know... Math is the language of science my friend.
Wow, these are jobs people in developing countries would kill for!!! $0.40!?!? Sign me up!!!

Nice, thanks for the info!
Sorry, I don't normally reply to my own posts... but I better catch it before the grammar police do...
find is supposed to be fond

If the poster has a vested interest in the content, then why would they want their site to be slashdotted???
Bling Bling!

I think slowing your computer down so much that it takes 5 minutes to open your web browser constitutes "Does bad things to your system/configuration"
Like the sibling post says, they're all malware.
Yeah.... How many of those one billion people do you think can afford to purchase something to play a dvd on let alone a library of them.
How many of them even own a TV? They get paid $0.44 an hour to do our manufacturing jobs.
