I'm not sure how many of them are stubs, but there are no redirects in that number. They're the number of "real" articles. See the Wikipedia statistics for more information.
Seems like this article is a little biased towards Nintendo's product! "Beautiful new hardware", "astonishing display", "hot software", "we don't agree with the critics", etc.
Not that they're not entitled to their own opinion, but does sound a little spooky if you take into account the fact that their page is littered with Nintendo advertisements. It would be appreciated if the summary linked to a more sober article of this news.
Nonsense. RMS's name has already been mentioned a few times in the summary, and it's thus not necessary to give his full name again. The author might also have concluded that RMS is most likely more well-known than Eben Moglen, and that he could, for that reason, leave out his full name at that point.
Seems to me like you're either very paranoid or just made a really bad joke.
War? Yes! But poverty? Global warming? My good friend, as much as we'd LIKE to concern ourselves with these matters, there's no more money to do so...:)
So they've got a great programmer. Big deal. We all know that people really buy the iPod because it looks so cool. A lot of non-Apple MP3 players that I've seen look awful. If they make sure to do the design aspect correctly, they might have themselves a viable product. Until then, I wouldn't put my money on it.
I have recently installed Ubuntu Linux 5.10 on my 400 MHz/128MB RAM laptop. Interestingly, it runs slightly slower than Windows 98, but the fact that it's a much more up to date and useful operating system than the old Windows makes up for that.
Ubuntu Linux 4.10, however, runs faster than Windows 98 and doesn't seem to have much shortcomings. I would, in fact, use that version if it weren't for the better wireless support in 5.10.
There's one thing, though. Old machines generally aren't capable of displaying 800x600x24; so why do all versions of Ubuntu come with that exact resolution and bitdepth by default? It's true that "normal" machines are easily able to display such a screen mode, but I still had to manually edit a text file in order to get rid of the horrible screen glitching that occurred when I started my installation. It would have been nice if it had been able to detect that my video card just doesn't have much RAM, and it would also have been very much appreciated if the Gnome resolution changer actually had an option to change the bitdepth!
Radiant is already a very good tool to work with. The version that I used back when I was using it to make a mod for Call of Duty it did have serious crashing errors, though. I hope that fixing these bugs will be the first priority of whoever's interested in working on it.

Speaking of managers, we need one at the Ubuntu art team. It's insane to see that place's activity painted by uncreative icon set wars. All while there's minimal organization and whenever you DO finish something interesting, it's too difficult to figure out how to get the right people to notice it. There's zero management, and therefore there's nothing useful happening with the time that people seem to put in it. Like stated, this leads to "geek toys".
I'm not even being a troll here. Ubuntu artwork development would be very well-off having SOME sort of centralized body to coordinate efforts.
Totally ridiculous. When you're at work, you can only focus on your daily duties for so long.
Even the most concentrated employees have to look up Slashdot or their favorite news site at some point for some well-earned distraction. And why? Because it makes you work better afterwards!
I do this often and I'll thankfully never be fired for it, given the size and type of the company that I work at (graphic design and web development studio), but I don't think that company size has any correlation to the usefulness of a little bit of distraction every now and then.
Nonsense. If I wanted to buy an MP3 player with memory stick, then I would opt for the iPod Shuffle. The fact that I'd rather have a normal iPod or a Nano has nothing to do with the fact that I still would choose Apple over other producers of a particular item. I'm sure other people feel the same; thus, Apple sells these things. There's no reason why they would suddenly stop producing something that sells.
What I'm interested in is the CAUSE of such numbers. Why do people switch to Firefox or, like in this case, favor Internet Explorer? Is it the new Internet Explorer 7.0 beta? Maybe it's just that important governmental issues are coming up which allow people to check out sites about them that only work with Internet Explorer. Are there any known reasons out there?
Yes, that's correct. No Windows 9x support, either, which is too bad. A lot of companies that aren't (directly) related to IT are still using old versions of Windows because they don't necessarily need to upgrade. They won't be able to use this new version (although you might wonder whether this could force them to switch to Firefox or Opera once new sites switch to supporting only IE7 and not IE6).
phpBB also has this option. They call it "sandboxing".
It's a really dirty measure, though. It was once used on a forum that I go to and the person who was collectively ignored didn't notice until months later.
The questions "Why Windows on a Mac?" and "Why Linux on a Mac?" have been flying around ever since the new machines came out. There is not one answer to this, obviously, because whether you want to do it depends entirely on what your needs and wants are. Some might want to use Linux because they're able to work faster with it. Others might want it simply because they like to experiment with their computers. It could also be due to the requirement to run a certain (set of) programs that aren't natively supported in Mac OS X.
There are plenty of reasons to warrant multi-booting on the new Intel Macs, it's just that not everybody is in need of it.
I am surprised with most opinions expressed here, that tend to go against the "information wants to be free"/. dogma.
The problem is that 1up isn't licensed under the GFDL; sure, the GFDL allows commercial use of information, but it's still pretty bizarre for such a large site that gets so much profit copypaste something others wrote. If someone were to mirror the information on Wikibooks, it wouldn't have been as wrong as this.
The thing is that a concise and unique domain name could add a whole lot of credibility to your site. "That's not just some porn site you're browsing, that's THE sex.com!"
By the way, regardless of the magnitude of this problem currently, has Sony ever formally apologized for their damaging rootkit? They've said that most people "shouldn't care", or that it was their "right" to cripple people's computers, but I've not once heard them say sorry. Can anyone clarify?

Guess which laptop is the preferred one...
Macbook Pro?

So the next time I crack a joke about the latest SEMTEX fashion on my blog, I'll be lifted out of bed by armed forces the day after?
Who would have thought that technology would get this advanced?

Looks like the site has taken the side of the Geelong Camera Club. Look at the Send us your photos link beneath the opening paragraph. :)

And now Congress will vote to make freely-editable online encyclopedias illegal. Freedom of speech loses in a landslide. :D
I wish, then they could move the servers over to Europe!

Of course it won't be open source. They achieved what they dub a "breakthrough in speech recognition". They plan on making a lot of money with this.

They didn't screw up three times. They screwed up twice, because the first time the article was posted, there was nothing wrong.
Not that I have a blistering riposte for your girlfriend analogy...
Or 4) They have little time and make human mistakes.
Yes, I agree that trupes are awful enough to warrant some negative feedback, but let's remain realistic here.
