My company is rolling out RFID badges for all staff to streamline our security and help reduce the amount of late employees etc - is this something that could be a problem or is it just theoretical?
Linux packaging technology beats the ass of windows any time. I can click double click on.debs and get them openened by a installer just like.msi
The problem is in how they're delivered and the lack of 1) a common packaging format and 2) lack of a common "package namespace" (ie: xorg can be called xorg in fedora and xserver-xorg in debian, that makes dependencies fail and can be only fixed by using a common packaging framework where developers and not distros makers package things)
But Linux continues being much better than windows in some areas. For example, you've to download the.exe programs from docens of differents web pages. This becomes SCARY when you've to update things. For the vast majority of software you've to check for new versions visiting their web page and reading the text to check visually if there's a new version. Compare it to the magic of apt-get and emerge....I wonder when Microsoft will catch up with the early 90's and will develop a new.msi format where developers can suministrate a URL for a XML file which tells Windows what are the latest file versions of a given program...there're hints that makes me believe that they'll use RSS for this in Windows Vista, but I don't expect that much from microsoft...
Dupe me baby one more time....

I remember taking a tour of their "studio" way back in the early Myst days... I worked at a similar shop, and we'd been talking about doing stuff like that for months, and then BOOM! there it was... better than we could have imagined. They used all the common tools of the day in fantastic ways... after I got that game, I spent the rest of my workdays playing it. Research, y'know. But they weren't just crazy minds, they were very nice guys, too.
Then again, it's not like they've died or anything... but it's still sad to see them go.
99 is WAY too much considering you get a low bitrate DRM infested product and as you mention, no tangible product.
Personally I will be sticking with AllofMP3 (what ITunes should be - pay per mb and the ability to choose from a wide range of formats/bitrates) or failing that, P2P.

Nice one!
Seriously, take this up with the WoW people...we don't care!
All employees are subject to regular pay reviews and these statistics will be taken into account, yes.

From time to time I click on a comment or story link and the page renders strangely. Only noticed it today...

This website illustrates your points very well with a few videos :)

First of all you've downloaded the wrong file...you need OOo_2.0beta2_Win32Intel_install.zip
Just right click on it, unzip it, then double-click on 'setup.exe' and follow the instructions to install..Simple!
Don't forget to check back in a few days for the dupe^W update to this review...
Seriously...can slashdot either rename itself to googledot.org or preferably STOP THE FUCKING GOOGLE SPECULATION STORIES!!!
