The problem is that 8GB DDR-3 memory is still far more expensive than two 4GB DDR-3 modules. And the 5500 Xeons will lower the memory speed if you install too many memory modules.
But yeah, i can't really see why we would need that much memory in a 2 socket machine - the technology will be useful when 4 way+ configurations of the Nehalem xeons arrive.
And everywhere in the world the electric grid needs to use the same voltage, frequency and wall sockets. And there should be only one currency on the planet. And...
It's perfectly in Microsoft's interest to sell the more expensive Home Premium, so i don't see why they WOULDN'T get a volume discount or marketing dollars.
Starter doesn't exist because Microsoft wants it, it exists because OEMs want it.
This is one more area where proprietary platforms loses to Free platforms. I've been a GNU/Linux user for a decade and a half, and (barring the time before I owned a DVD-ROM drive, where obviously it would have been a bit difficult) have never had to really worry about being able to play DVD's. It 'just works' in a variety of players: mplayer, vlc, xine, etc.
The only problem being: DVD support on Linux is illegal in many countries. Yeah, nobody gives a fuck, but that's still something that OSS has to sort out.
My private car is manual - it's fun to drive fast with it. My company car has an automatic transmission - great when you're driving through traffic or through cities in general. My motorcycle is (as almost all) manual - and it's great to drive fast with it.
BitLocker on a Netbook? Bitlocker requires Enterprise/Ultimate.
Netbooks are made for consumers - a cheap laptop to have around the house. You don't need FDE for that purpose.
Almost all business notebooks sold in the past few years have a TPM chip. We're mostly a Lenovo shop, and all laptops in use right now are running Bitlocker in TPM+PIN mode. Works very well.
Netbooks are not meant for businesses - they don't offer the service, speed, security that real laptops do. Some of our executives wanted Netbooks - we gave them ThinkPad x200s.
They have everything they need - a fast SSD, LED backlighted screen with a high resolution, 4GB of RAM, Vista x64, WWAN (UMTS), WLAN, Ethernet, etc. pp. And the devices are less heavy than most netbooks, run longer, and are compatible with most other acessories we have around (like power supplies).
They were all astonished with the devices - much better performance and usuability than the netbooks they've seen beforehand.
If you work in IT, ensure that no netbooks will _ever_ be used in your company. They're not meant to be used anywhere else except for kids and at home.
I don't understand people with opinions like yours - i just don't get the way of thinking about the world that suggests restricting everything is the right way to go.
People should be able to think for themselves and make their own decisions. That's what freedom is all about.
Yes, sometimes people that are not able to think for themselves will make mistakes (or will even do so out of their own free will) and hurt/kill other people. That's not good, nobody likes that, but it's a _necessity_ for freedom.
Yeah, this means that you either get the police-nanny state you seem to want (with less people getting hurt by car accidents and no freedom to speak of) or we get a free world, where people _will_ die because of the stupidity of other people.
There's a middle ground where we are right now, and i can live with the way things currently are, but not with where they're going.
My personal opinion is that MMO providers should be held liable for the damages they do carelessly in peoples lifes.
No, no and no!
Everyone should be responsible for their own actions. Yes, a MMO can ruin your life. But either they're old enough to ruin their own lives - or they're not, and their parents can simply take their computer away.
So can driving your car with 250 mph into a wall of concrete. That doesn't mean that car manufacturers should be held reliable for your stupidity.
You're right, but most people have a messiah complex - they want to save everyone.
Most people don't want to face the fact that there are bad, worthless people. Not that the guy in the article necessarily is one of them, just that he might be if he doesn't stop playing all the time.
Yeah, but it's also important to note that Google's model makes a lot of sense if IT is the _the_ core if your business.
But for a company where IT is just there to provide necessary infrastructure to keep their core business running, developing your own hardware like this makes very little sense.
But publishing Sharepoint directly to the Internet is insane. You should put an ALG in front of it, for example ISA Server.

As a Windows admin, i can't get most SOHO equipment to work reliable either. For example, 100$ HP AiO devices just don't work well.
2000$ HP MFP Devices that scan to a network share using SMB or NFS and print proper PCL and PS work very well on Windows - just as they probably do on Linux.

They do. IE8 doesn't get automatically installed, unless you're using WSUS.

That's called a "personal assistant". Because you really can't call it a "secretary" if she can't spell or touch type.
The US doesn't have UMTS videophones yet?
Unless the tracking device is subdermal, it's probably long gone when you try to find said child.
Been to Europe lately? It's already happening.

No, it means that the premium netbooks will ship with Windows 7 Home Premium.
Except your COULD write user mode USB drivers for Windows.

It depends on where you drive.

Yes, and as written in the article, Home Premium for Netbooks will have special pricing.

I've painfully watched through S1, and it got worse with every episode.
Didn't bother to watch S2.
Yes, of course.

And?
The question was if unmodified Non-Legit copies would receive security updates.
All true - but the OP said:
jailbreaking the phone and installing pirated apps
Jailbreaking is just a requirement for the latter. But jailbreaking doesn't imply pirated apps.
