Good God people, it's not that hard. Everyone wants to make it an Open Source issue - blah blah blah. You can get hosted Microsoft Office & Exchange for almost nothing per user per month when compared to the cost of a server, licensing and support if you do it yourself. It's a business expense dumb-ass and not only does it make everyone happy but means you don't have to manage physical machines. The cost savings allow you to spend more money on your bandwidth as well. You're all a bunch of Open Source idiots that DON'T UNDERSTAND BUSINESS (and probably think the Free Market and Capitalism is bad). I'm not the 1%, and I'm not the 99%, I'm an IT guy that understands the flow of business and economics. Quit making things so damn hard for everyone and get over yourselves.
Seriously, WHO TF CARES? What a waste of time and energy. Slashdot needs to wake up and quit putting this crap out. And for all you that responded, GET A LIFE.
Making better movies....that's a difficult thing to quantify, as it really is something personal. I find the movies today by far better than the movies 5, 10, 20 yrs ago. The moviemakers of today have by far a more expansive toolset to work with then they did 10 years ago... or longer.
My view is, the movies of today are excellent, but the AUDIENCE has changed. We don't look at the movie experience as just that - an experience. We all know it will come out in DVD within 3-6months. Go back 10 yrs, and any movie out then would take 2-3 yrs to come out on VHS. The anticipation and expectation of movie go'ers has changed to one of complacency, and that complacency is due to a) the ability to see it soon in your home; and b) the cost of the movie.
Simple Economics folks...
The price of a movie has exceeded what we are willing to pay. Drop the price of a movie (and all the concessions) and more people will go.
DUH!

"non-white man'? - Are you serious or just ignorant? He's 50% white and 50% black. He's NOT THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT. Bill Clinton is.
Completely agree. There is no way to uninstall it from your system without completely re-installing your OS. Read their Terms and beware.

Are there Windows-based access points? I think not, so why is this news, and why do we care?
What are you running it on, a Mac with a Windows Emulator? CygWin command line? VNC Windows XP? Your config is not valid, nor is your statement.
I'd just be happy to drive a Jaguar!
