Ahh but the world is going to end tomorrow, so we may as well the lowest prices possible today!!!
At least thats what most peoples attitude seems to be.
It's called making a movie out of news headlines and whats currently on peoples minds.
Hmm Doom for the name, all these evil scientists and that satanic genome crap, etc etc.
That Roald Dahl story with the story writing machine in it. Sometimes I think it came true, but it was hollywood that got it. Press a button, hold down the action pedal, with brief dabs on the romance pedal.
FTFA: "Transmeta has been aggressively attempting to cut costs ever since it decided earlier this year to get out of the chip manufacturing business and focus instead on processor technologies it can license to other vendors."
You're probably going to battle to find any chips with the name transmeta on next year. However, many other chips may contain licensed technologies in them that will be bringing revenue into transmeta.
Not all vitamins are created equal. Any vitamin that your body creates itself, is most often slightly different, and usually much better, than the manufactured version.
A few years back I started getting more and more interested in improving my health. And while I'm no doctor, I have done a ton of reading into many aspects of health. No matter what aspect you look at though, there is always a lot of research that points to the natural way being best.
Yes vitamin pills are better than nothing. Sun screen is better than sun burnt or no sun at all. But eating good and varied foods and spending a small amount of time in the sun is still best.
But as the article said, the vitamin D produce (D-3) helps combat cancer, including skin cancer. It makes sense in a way, the body produces the vitamin needed to combat the damage when exposed to the the source of the damage.
The article also points out that the vitamin D found in pills (D-2) is not as effective at this as the D-3 produced by your own body.
I'm also inclined to agree with this article from my own personal (non cancer related) experience. I suffer from mild psoriasis, if I get burnt from the sun, it gets worse; if I don't go into the sun, it gets worse; taking vitamin suppliments doesn't help; but if I make an effort to spend a little time in the sun most days, it improves.
A HP PSC 1200 "All in One" printer/scanner copier combi (recognized and configured correctly)
That worked correctly? I mean, the scanner and the printer both work together? I have one of the HP all in ones at home and I haven't even tried to plug it into the Linux box. I was going to, but then I decided to check up on the net for drivers, and all google returned were a thousand and one complaints about how you could get it to work as a scanner or printer but not both without swapping drivers.
As for the camera, as I mentioned in another reply, recognising it as a HDD is only halfway there. Unless plugging the camera in automatically opens some easy to use image organiser, its not as easy as windows.
I'm guessing by done you mean it registered as portable storage? If so, XP didn't require a disk either for that to work.
Unfortunately, for my father AKA "the average user" that isn't always easy enough.:(
Plugging it in and an application loading with the correct folder already in preview is about the minimum required. XP does this well, Macs do it better, Linux is improving (but far from good enough). Admittedly a lot of this is to do with manufacturers providing support. Linux needs to get out there and convince the hardware manufacturers to include linux applications on the CD that comes with the device. The distributions can do what they want, and it won't help if the manufacturers don't play along.:(
Lets see, a month ago, my father AKA "the average user" bought a digital camera.
He put the CD that came with it into the drive and it automatically popped up the install menu for all the software that came with it. Once he had taken some photos, he plugged the camera into the machine via usb. It automatically copied the pictures to a folder and opened the editing software with that folder shown.
He bought a simple little B&W ink jet printer before that. After plugging it in, the drivers were installed before he sat down. In fact installing that printer was so simple that it caused a problem, he was absolutely sure he still had to do stuff to get it working, it couldn't have possibly been that easy.
Linux is great, but it can't yet claim to be that easy. Yes sure windows XP sometimes stuffs up with drivers, sometimes it isn't just plug and play. For the most part however, with the simple add on bits of hardware that "the average user" might purchase, it is.
I would think its very much like drinking. 2 glasses of wine a day won't kill you, in fact any damage it does to your liver will be outweighted by the benifits (less stress). But if you only have 14 glasses of wine on saturday and never drink the rest of the week there is definitely going to be a negative effect.
A little every day is best, a lot once in a while isn't good, but we can probably handle it, a lot once in a while but over an extended period of time will lead to problems.
I would get spending 5 hours in the sun every saturday will definitely cause skin problems later in life. While 45 minutes a day will cause a lot less.
Too much = getting burnt = different for each person. Too little = not enough vitamin D = different for each person. Some = the right amount of vitamin D = different for each person.
How do you expect to get set numbers in Lux?

Really they need to do the.sux tld. With the rule that a company is NOT allowed to buy their own name.:)
According to Wikipedia : "The U.S shuttles landings are also mostly automated (there has only been one manually flown re-entry so far), but deployment of the landing gear requires a human to physically press the button. The manual step was added at the insistence of the astronauts, who claim that early deployment of the landing gear due to a computer error would be fatal."
So what you're saying is, your average corporate type thinks that wearing a tie makes people better workers (even though it doesn't). Thus all the companies that want to be successfull force dress codes and get the business because of it, thus enforcing this stupid fucking idea that you have to dress smart to be able to code.
Thankfully I'm still in a company where they realise that coding is not related to wearing a tie. (we happen to be a very successful company as well)
If we all ended up using FireFox and MS never produced another version of IE again, I bet you'd see the open source browser slow down their innovation. Competition is always good, and the competition between open and closed is even better.
Firstly, any study with human races would have to contain the words "on average". Humans are diverse, and even if one race is more intelligent on average, that doesn't mean they don't have their fair share of dumb people.
Secondly, to say we shouldn't do something because a percentage of the population will misuse it is a bad idea. It ranks up there with: "no one should have privacy because some of you may be terrorists" and "P2P should be banned entirely because its sometimes used for copyright violation".

Actually thats a well protected and patched uptodate slashdot. Some slashdots can dupe within hours.
Well what do you know, I just finished downloading 5.04 two days ago. Just haven't got round to installing it. :)
Cool thanks for the info. Will give it a try, will be nice to move it from my gaming desk to the Linux box.

I guess its time for me to download the latest GNOME then. :)

I'm sure I remember hearing it was around $10/copy sold went to the manufacturer of the console.
The most insightful comment in this little roland bashing thread, yet no +insightful on it (as of this posting anyway).
Moralgorithm is not pleased.
Do you promise to learn how to post links?
