Yeah, same here. Some of my friends have tried to get me to "upgrade" to an X-FI card, at which point I ask them about Linux drivers, then remind them that I don't use a 64-bit OS.
Actually, I find it much more likely that the poor bastard would end up with gajillions of people suing the hell out of him for most likely made up monetary damages, and then a hitherto unheard of coalition of groups with way more money than anyone else working to take the domain name from him. Just sitting on it like he is doing now is probably the best option, although if he wants to make some sort of statement to them, he could set his mail server up so that it sends a reply to everyone who sends him an email, which would contain the contents of the original. Of course, that would lead to those who are actually trying to reach him probably forming a mob and burning his house down, but he doesn't need that, right?
...who didn't expect this? Honestly, this is completely in line with how they have been acting with the iPhone/iPod Touch product lines. Commence Jailbreaking in 5, 4...
I used one at quakecon, and honestly, I hated it. I honestly don't understand how anyone can describe using this thing as feeling anything. It reacted to surfaces and objects in the demos like you would expect it to react, but it wasn't feeling. It was clunky and awkward, to say the least. It was more like taking a stick and moving it along something. Just figured I would share my experiance with the device.
Yeah, but one does have to wonder, how many lawsuits were they thinking of dealing with? And even though they have a virtual monopoly currently in certain markets, said monopoly is not necessarily permanent, and whatever local groups they have franchise agreements with can decide to terminate their franchise agreement. Also, they might be fined by local authorities. This whole ordeal that they brought upon themselves could have very serious consequences for their future business.
...they will be considering the removal of genitals from newborns to preemptively crack down on relationships between men and women out of wedlock. Then moving each gender into their own pocket dimensions.

Lavabit. Decent storage, but AWESOME privacy.
How was he able to change the ownership title of the homes
This isn't new behavior from Microsoft at all, although your examination of why this is happening now is dead on.
Slashdottians? Wouldn't that be Slashdotters?
Yeah, same here. Some of my friends have tried to get me to "upgrade" to an X-FI card, at which point I ask them about Linux drivers, then remind them that I don't use a 64-bit OS.
...what accounts for the differences in the estimate and the cost? What cost(s) were underestimated?

Nothing. You just have to download the Linux binary off Introversions site and pull data files off the CD...
...a slashdot thread that consisted almost entirely of people arguing over what metaphor would be used to describe a situation.

Obviously, someone forgot what site they were on.

In my XP install, on FF2, I noticed a big difference in quality between the two videos, especially in fullscreen.
Yeah, because everyone has $279-$449 just lying around.
My desktops wireless card (a linksys) always gets its driver installed from windows update. I never install the driver myself.
...from a while back in which some hardware counterfeiters in china got to the point where they where actually paying a firm for R&D for new products.

Apologize, wasn't attempted spam, was a certain failure to RTFA (the one I linked to, I might add) on my end. You may now continue tossing eggs at me.
