this is the worst idea I've heard in, well, about 10 minutes. hardware companies make mediocore hardware with worse drivers. give us the docs, and let us write quality drivers. that way, you don't have to support those users, nor bother writing the driver for that platform. you have the documentation anyways, thats how you made the windows drivers. your competitors can't use that to steal your secrets, since the actual magic is done in hardware, away from the driver.
also, the whole world isn't windows on x86. these drivers won't work on amd64 machines. or on macppc. or sparc64.
In my (not so humble) experiance, linux still freezes; gets rootkits installed; breaks itself fortnightly; the upgrades aren't actually upgrading just breaking dependancies; and is supported by people that think hand-editing a config file makes them leet.
Yea, I'll get right on top of installing Linux on my dad's computer. I'm sure he'll kick my ass for taking OS X off.
the user interface on my palm treo 650 sucks ass compared to my ipod. Yes, I know they do very differnt things. I would much rather use my ipod than my treo any day.
postfix and dovecot-1.0alpha (the alpha version is a misnomer, its been very stable for me for a long time before).
make sure you have high quality hardware, and don't forget to secure the system. *make* everyone use tls/ssl and smtp-auth. have your users use port 587 (and 465 for those that need it), so you don't get blocked by all of the port 25 blocks (which exist just about everywhere).
If you say something good about KDE, you get 5 people telling you how bloat it is, and how Gnome is better.
Yea, because Gnome is bloat free. Hah, whatever. Both KDE and Gnome require far too much ram and cpu for my tastes. (FWIW, I'm perverse enough to enjoy running FVWM2 as my window manager.)
CMDA is the scheme used in the most of the US (sprint, verizon, boost, metropcs, etc). rather than having a sim card, the functionality is built into the phone itself. which means you have to call the phone company to change phones.
yes, I know it totally bites. but in the states, cingular and t-mobile are gsm.
the biggest problem with last.fm / audioscrobbler is that you can't say "god damn, I hate this band" for e.g. coldplay. that is the only feature that seems to be missing.
djbware is so broken its not even funny. the "human readable" zone files is beyond a joke. lack of support for ipv6 is also a huge blow (yes, I know you can get 3rd party patches for it. but I can also just run bind, and have an actually functional dns server).

bnetd was sued when they contacted Blizzard to try and get license keys validated. bnetd was trying to do the right thing.
Enough artificial intelligence, we need real intelligence.

don't care, don't care, don't care.
all pantera, all the time!
Don't forget Poland!
I thought the proof was CP/M, BASIC, on-the-fly disk compression and web browsers. ;)
Which mobile phone company did this? I'ma put on my walking shoes, and spend my money with a different company.
(Article doesn't say which company, but it can only be Cingular or T-Mobile. (Large, and unlocking implies GSM))
boingboing linked to the Wired article. So of course they would have the exact same quote.

Well, not at speeds below 88 mph.
did your sister go to band camp? what instrument does she play? flute?

I've seen many job postings asking for irrelevant certs. Unix admin positions requiring a MCSE is a popular one.

I mean 'call' as in 'tell the phone company somehow'. With gsm, you just take the sim card out of your old phone, and slip it into your new phone.
I'm not completly suprised that they allowed you to do it online, more suprised they trusted the consumer enough to not fuck it up.

my parents said "don't watch this", and stopped the tape every time we kids came out to the front room. if it was frivolous, then we were punished.
1, 3, 5, 7, ...?
9 or 11, depending on if you are expecting odds or primes. you should really have another number in the sequence to clarify that.

At least you don't live in Manteca. When I was growing up, we had to go down to Modesto to be bored. :/

mark me as a troll, I don't care.
