Concurrence from me on the 2005FPW. A great plus it has is the ability to rotate the screen 90 degrees; this would be excellent for fitting a page of code.
Or maybe consider an Apple system? The 30 inch Cinema Display is beautiful, the Dual 2.7GHz PowerMacs are very powerful, and Xcode is wonderful. Just make sure you ditch the crappy mouse.
So if they're going to be releasing more often with less features, will the cost of their software like, say, Office, be cheaper? Or will people skip a few versions between upgrades?
Or is this talking about updates you get from Windows Update for free?
So what are the real speeds? No one gets 54mbps on 802.11g hardware, so I don't expect 240mbps on this MIMO stuff.
I don't understand the way wireless speeds are rated. I got very close to 100mbps on my LAN before I upgraded to gigabit. I can't get anywhere near 54mbps on my wireless if I put my Powerbook right next to the wireless router!
Ah, the Apple rumor-mill.
I wonder how many kool-aid drinkers who already own 4GB iPods will go out and buy a 4GB Flash iPod if/when they get released to get an extra two hours of battery life and a product that's an ounce lighter than what they had before. Does anyone really care about how light they are? 3.6 ounces is nothing.
Just like the Apple kool-aid drinkers will always correct someone who calls an Apple a "MAC", the Gaim developers always correct people who spell Gaim "GAIM". At least they always used to when I hung out in their IRC channel.
It's called Gaim! See the faq: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php
Their motivation is to make more money: that's what Microsoft does better than anything, including writing good software.
So it's reasonable to assume that whatever they have up their sleeve, be it a smear campaign against Open Source and Linux, more fabricated cost-of-ownership numbers, or something else to make their products look superior, it will ultimately serve the same purpose: to make more money.
I don't need it. I don't get to pick what OS I use at work. I don't even get to install Firefox to use instead of IE.
I'd be able to do my job just fine using a different OS.
I'm tired of seeing vandalized pages, pages for 14 year old kids who think their ability with Flash warrants their own page on Wikipedia (I shit you not, I deleted one of these), and other stuff that just shouldn't be there.
Their "talk pages" seem to make a simple issue take a long time to resolve. With a little tighter control, I think that the article quality will be a little higher.
I, for one, welcome this development.
Slashdot Mirror
.. are they going to put all this shit on one board, like 3DFX used to with their Voodoo cards? Or does it not work like that? Can someone explain?

I'll buy one if it can crunch distributed.net's RC5-72 project as fast as I think it will.
Or maybe the PS3 will be faster and easier to use as a regular computer. I will wait and see.
P2P is used for violating copyright. Plain and simple.
Now imagine a beowolf cluster of these things!

In communist Russia, laptop raids you!
Just because something isn't classified doesn't mean that it won't contain potentially sensitive information.
Some unclassified information is NOFORN (No foreign nationals).
Don't forget that you can have all your mail wherever you have a web browser, too.
Using an e-mail client kind of precludes you from doing this, most of the time.

What about people who suffer from real sleep disorders, like narcolepsy and insomnia?

Why didn't I think of this? I bet there's a lot of money to be made this way.
4. ?
5. Profit!

Who's we?
I have NOTHING that I need Windows for. My only exposure to Microsoft Windows is at work.
The games I care about work fine under Linux.
There are commercial Linux vendors.
RedHat should ring a bell with you.
Because a dual core P4 system is just like a Yugo. Idiot.

Yes, what great advice. Have you ever used Windows without Administrator rights? You can't even view the fucking calendar.
