'One thing ARM doesn't have, however, is Windows,' McAllister writes, something that could ultimately stymie ARM's plans to compete on the low end of the netbook market.
In my opinion, it's the opposite. One thing Windows doesn't have is ARM support (besides Windows CE). Manufacturers are already seeing the advantage of ARM, and the lack of Windows support isn't a deal breaker in every segment. I have a SheevaPlug which is an ARM device, and while most major Linux distributions have support for the architecture, Microsoft just has the one, and it isn't even a consideration for most users of the device.
I wouldn't really compare it to the scene in CoD4 you're talking about, that was intended to be cinematic and close out the story of the marine. This video... I will admit I was disturbed. I don't think the outrage is necessary, but it definitely invoked emotions I didn't even feel when playing a game like Grand Theft Auto. Especially how it just went on and on. I would definitely play it, and I'm not sure how I feel about the in-game warning. I think a warning on the box would be enough, because whether you're shooting civilians or terrorists, you're still "simulating" killing.
Why not distribute the application via PSN download or firmware update, and then embed it into the XMB?
Again, the instant streaming disc represented the fastest and easiest way to let PS3 enthusiasts get Netflix on the PS3. Late next year we expect to have an embedded solution available for PS3s via a system software update slated for release through the PlayStation Network.
We need to somehow convince shareholders that the Blu-Ray drive in the PS3 is still relevant!
Should mention that this wiki is being served off a SheevaPlug, should also mention that since you mentioned you need NFS, you'll need to build your own kernel with it enabled, it won't work out of the box. There may be a distro available somewhere though.
I've had one of these for about two months now and it's amazing. It needs a bit of configuration out of the box to fix some of the odd choices Marvell made in their distribution, but there's two great wikis that support the SheevaPlug so there's plenty of help. I'd highly recommend it, super low power, very small, and totally open for you to mess with if you'd like.
I use mine as a media server and rtorrent downloader. It can serve up multiple samba streams at a time without a hitch. It also has a USB port that I have an external HDD plugged into, though it has its own power plug too (though there are some 2.5 drives that can be powered off USB).
Definitely get the dev kit, has an SD card slot and serial USB port in addition to the normal USB and ethernet ports.
I consider myself a libertarian and I'm a fan of FOSS simply because of the liberty and control it gives me over my computer and the software I use.
My opinion has nothing to do with the free market, but if anything, FOSS lowers the barrier of entry into the software market incredibly, allowing anyone with a computer with the opportunity to participate in the market.
My site was once getting hit really hard from some other web site with a hole on their feedback page. I tried to email their webmaster but my message got flagged as spam. I guess including IP addresses, multiple links, phrases like "spam", "execute script", "spambot", and "exploit" aren't looked kindly upon by the internet powers that be. I just blocked any connections coming from their IP, but I wish I could have gotten through to shut down the security exploit.
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 on my in-law's computer last November and haven't had a single call since. When they had XP on their computer, I was dealing with it every few months when visiting them.
Internet worked out of the box, flash works perfectly, printer was a bit of trouble but after an hour of trying the different CUPS solutions, it's been working for almost a year now.
Best decision I ever made for my in-laws, besides marrying their daughter I suppose.
So by somehow not stumbling into a war after 8+ months of being president and keeping the current wars going with no signs of an exit means he's worthy of the peace prize?
Interesting that they weren't artificially added in post-production, seems like something easy to add later on. Well, easier than coordinating a team of guys carrying around giant mirrors and powerful flashlights.
This is such an awful piece of software, especially for people who use a non-IE browser, essentially making this even more worthless for non Windows desktops. I'm asked for my security credentials every other click or so, and even when it is correct, sometimes it will just keep asking and asking (and yes, in Firefox I added the url to my network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris). The wiki software is just atrocious with the syntax being completely unintuitive. The only way to really use the wiki is... yep, to use IE and the built in rich text editor. Just check out some of the code generated from it:

I recently started reading this great blog by a woman who's very anti-"think of the children". Great stuff and I'm sure she'd get especially upset about something like this.
Getting rid of the microwave, while not stopping the cancerous growth, may very well have served as a placebo for helping with her overall health. Sometimes results are more important than the method, and if she thinks this is helping her, more power to her.
Maybe they're just trying to figure out what all the complicated legalese being thrown out by both sides is supposed to mean by checking out Wikipedia or Findlaw?

People have no clue what net neutrality is, and just assume it's government regulation that will make things worse.
It's not like they have a stellar track record or anything.

This same kind of quality control would be just as effective at $50 an LP. $10,000 is just some randomly chosen BIG_NUMBER.
Blame the criminals who forced the lawmakers to make more and more complex laws.
Criminals are deemed criminals because of the law. But hey, I like all this complicatedness, gives me job security (IANAL).

Winning the peace prize by sending 21,000 more troops to Afghanistan while mulling even more? What a load.
just be glad my tie is the only article of clothing I left at home.

Or both with a mythical USB hub.
I've got a WRT54G and a SheevaPlug, combining the two seems would be awesome.
Interesting that they weren't artificially added in post-production, seems like something easy to add later on. Well, easier than coordinating a team of guys carrying around giant mirrors and powerful flashlights.
Apparently they still don't understand how this internet thing works.
Add it to the list which includes: the economy, foreign policy, and Major League Baseball.
Yeah, The Fountainhead really should be number 1, and Ender's Game 2.

I read Slashdot at work... and I always thought that made me a professional Slashdot geek.
That's called technical debt, it happens in every project: open, proprietary, big, small, one developer or a 100.
Thought you would have learned too... that it was HD-DVD, and not Blu-Ray.
