Just eat beans and cabbage to fight against people that are overly perfumed or reek of stale cigarettes. Everybody loves the smell of their own farts, so walking around in a cloud of it should make you happy.
Realize that the PC industry is dying a horrible death then the "enthusiast" crowd probably represents the least significant portion of Intel's market. I don't think Intel is worried about that bottom line when the bottom has been falling out of their market for years.
Having said that there is absolutely no reason for Intel or a 3rd party to build component boards or system-on-a-chip type solutions with soldered CPU's so that enthusiasts can still build a mostly empty shoebox full of wires and 70's era plastic connectors and have the smug sense of accomplishment that their $2000 box of hand-picked components will perform better then the $500 box of the same components sold by Dell or HP.
Also enthusiasts should realize that state-of-the-art these days is something that fits into a 3mm thin package, not a box with 20 cubic feet of hot air and dust.
Samsung and Apple are going MAD (mutually assured destruction). Bottom line is after this is all said and done there will be such a high cost premiums for Apple or Samsung devices to pay each other's royalties that pretty much Microsoft will walk in offering cheap Windows 8 phones that will flood the market.
Microsoft's saving grace is that nobody wants to copy their ugly shit.
Why, make $120k a year with the same responsibilities as a junior software developer, or $130k a year and worked (rather pestered) to death as a manager.
Also the role of "architect" is pretty vapid, it just means someone that will overlook common sense and instead force software patterns at the expense of efficiency and the long term maintainability of a product.
From my personal observation, people fail upwards, a lot of developers were promoted to actually get them away from the code. Also an awesome developer does not necessarily translate to an effective leader, a lot of great coders are social retards.
Should have wrapped it first in bacon and then triple breaded it first before dipping it in beer batter and then throw it in a pot of boiling lard. After its cooked rub a salt lick over the thing because there is nothing worse then bland turkey.
Yeah, that will go over well. Hand your kids some printed coupons in an empty box for Christmas. Might as well get them a pet rock to go along with that. How can you make any comments about playability on vaporware.
Why don't you ask your children what console they want? Chances are they will be very disappointed by whatever group consensus you will get from Slashdot, which will probably be some Linux based 10 year old shoebox computer running Steam beta...
Yep, 5 comments up "Use Steam and a Linux Box"...sigh.
Then all the websites you are allowed to view are icons you can click on, meaning that you don't have to trouble yourself with typing in a URL. Then each government can roll out their own version of 'X'OL where X is the name of your dystopian country.
Don't equate Linux vendors to charities that provide nutrition or treat disease, seriously, what a douche statement. People can happily live without any OS, but living without medicine, clean water, or without disease is where real humanitarian efforts are required. Nobody is going to be sainted for provided a free copy of Linux. And I think Microsoft and Bill Gates have done more to provide real humanitarian efforts donating billions to the world from the revenue generated selling their OS then Linus or the Linux community has ever done.
Money is not just a tool for trade, it's an unfortunate requirement to provide the kinds of services lacking in 3rd world countries to save lives. A device supporting Angry Birds is not very high on the list goals for a developing country.
Whenever I read stuff like this I think there are a bunch of physicists snicking and laughing in front of a screen watching Slashdot and saying "Oh my spaghetti monster I can't believe they are buying into this bullshit. We can say anything we want and they'll believe us. Quick, post an article about time unicorns and looms that predict the future. he he he".
The world doesn't need another way to arrange apps in a grid. I think that Mozilla has put zero innovation into this, only doing so because they can.
I would like to see people spending some time trying to come up with new paradigms for mobile operating systems other then to simply arrange icons (rounded or otherwise) in a grid.
When every OS is basically regurgitating the same ideas, concepts, and essentially provide access to exactly the same content, the idea of multiple vendors is irrelevant. Firefox OS doesn't bring anything new to the table and so it is also irrelevant. If Mozilla can carve out a niche market for cheap handsets vendors then that is all about they can hope for.
Basically animal rights activists are saying there are no other "human" problems in the world that needs to be addressed so they will spend their time, money and efforts protecting sky rats.
Must be nice to live in that self delusional utopia.
If I come across content that is served by Rapidshare, I don't bother getting it because its usually not worth the effort to try and get something off that POS service.
Seriously, BitTorrent is more then adequate to share both legit and illegal content without BS pay walls and content throttling. Why anybody uses RapidShare or MegaUpload to share content in this day and age speaks to a group of ex-geeks that were relevant back in the early 90's but haven't learned or done anything new since then. its like people that share files using RAR to break them into a thousand pieces because of old Usenet group limitations, absolutely no point to do that in this day an age of broadband and torrent services.
RapidShare and other file download services are like AOL where the last few remnants of old-school geeks and vapid Luddites still believe they need some kind of portal to access web content at a time when torrent and cloud services has become the most prevalent way to share any content.

Problem solved.

Funding has increased for Honey-Boo-Boo and Doomsday preparation.
America, the newest 3rd world country. Even Foxconn is looking to set up shop there.

Never going to use a search engine called DuckDuckGo.

Oh yeah, there is no obesity crisis in America.

yes, deployed with lots of amps.
Problem solved.
Should just go back to AOL style "web".

Oh wait, Apple already patented that...
Stop serving chowdah everywhere.

these are not the droids you are looking for.
Lets see how long this one takes.

Get over it, really. Life is so much better then spreading FUD and conspiracy theories around.
Cause he gets laid.
In every generation, some retard makes this statement...

Shows you how irrelevant dictionaries have become.
Sigh.
