Really, how do you count every server with Linux out there? I mean I have tons of Linux cd's just laying around my home and only a few machines in this house have it on 'em. It seems rather pointless trying to count what seems nearly impossible to count anywhere near accurately.
Well, I'm not entirely sure about the whole thing. Last I checked, Intel and AMD were going at it head to head and coming out relatively even. I'm not biased toward either company since I've used processors from both. Not trying to flame here, but I'm really wondering about this benchmark.
How could they have a best PC game category and not even mention Counter-Strike: Source or Half-Life 2? Like the others here on slashdot have said, this little award show is far from legitimate; it's hardly more than a giant commercial.
I know it's not text based, but you could do things thru the menus at the top, pretty cool for those of us who don't take the time to read instructions.
Such is why I'm a PC user all the way. You can't build your own Apple machine for way cheaper, and when something does go bad, you can replace it yourself. Not to say that it isn't possible, but it's obviously more difficult.
No kidding. The last small office I went into, the users were petting their computers and saying "C'mon, baby" and stuff like that. Have we really crawled out the age where superstition was mainstream?
You don't think the affiliates won't find a way to advertise on these podcastings? I beg to differ. Advertising is every where you look in U.S., even in your own bathroom.
Correction. Microsoft buys a lot of good software and sticks their name on it. Although I will give them props on Win2k. Most stable windows ever IMHO.
Granted the other consoles are getting old, but Nintendo OTOH is not hopping on that bandwagon. Their Revolution controllers are going to be totally different with motion sensors (for like aiming?/slashing a sword, etc). Now that's interactive gaming/creativity.
Actually, the Ipod doesn't really have a hard drive. Well, not in the PC sense of things. The Ipod's storage is more like a thumbdrive's really, and flash memory changes when you up the voltage on it, so that's safe. But electromagnetic fields and electronics still don't add up.
Also a good idea would be rain-gear overalls, which more or less are rubber overalls with attached boots. Of course, you wouldn't want to use the rubber boots with all the potential hazards out there, but...
The future can never accurately predicted. Investment in technology is a gamble, but I believe it is a worthwile one. Fusion, like some others have stated, could solve energy problems, powering almost everything (a possibility). I'll never say such and such will happen in a certain time period, because unexpected things always happen. I think I may go offtoppic here a bit, but for example, my mom had this book from the 1950's (I think) titled, "You Will Live on the Moon". It more or less predicted space travel would be like air travel was before 9/11 by the year 2000. Obviously, we're not there yet. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?
Yup. Most of us Americans (I guess) believe we can just be lazy not having to learn anything new and if something breaks or we want something done but don't know how to do it, someone else will do it for you or fix it. Yeah, this comment isn't too well thought out on wording (tired), but I hope you get the point regardless.
Yeah, it's crazy how little you have to know about anything other than your job to get around. As you said, they take their cars to a mechanic every so often and it "just works". Unfortunately it seems to get a computer work exactly the way you want it, you gotta know your computer-- inside and out.
I'm pretty sure someone's already said this, but perhaps to work in an office with computers, perhaps one should have to learn computer basics like file size and how to get around in windows and stuff like that. It wouldn't eliminate the confusion, but it'd help out methinks.
Really, who knows what the future holds? And who says we won't be able to trace history back to these days and even further? And just because we don't use a media anymore means it is forgotten and no one will ever be able to read the media again. I mean, if one did some digging, I bet he/she would find information to be able to read punch-cards even.
Just my 2 cents.
Actually, there doesn't seem to be any evidence supporting the fact that they're profiting from this. They may not be at all. The U.S. government may be defending the company for lawsuit because they're using the company to put up these pipe/cable connectors. If Lucent technologies were not doing this for the government, I'd bet the ruling on the lawsuit would be different.
Unfortunately that isn't entirely true. Granted you could undo the key labels on any keyboard, but you wouldn't have the same feeling. The keys have different pressure requirements for pushing, according to the review. Maybe doing this is a rather expensive process.
Indeed. The last thing this nation needs is a civil war, especially after that hurricane disaster. If memory serves, the US lost more people than in any other war.

"Can you hear me now?"

Even so, one would still have to prove the company agreed to this EULA, and the likelihood of that happening is doubtful.

That is what we call a hate/fear of change. More or less, she wanted to stay in her "comfort spot", if you will.

That's because most users have WINDOZE on their machine. Duh!

This technology, like anything else in this world can be good or bad, depending on how you use it.
