What happens when you start getting calls to your cell phone?
Btw, I know this doesn't happen yet, I'm curios though, is there anything keeping it from happening?
It's so people will be stuck with a pc that will look good with windows and look mismatched with anything else you could put on it.
It will probably look better with the default theme of the desktop, but it will also look very tacky to anyone not on the computer.
The linux thing is a bit of a non-issue because anyone should be able to easily change the theme(or have a default theme based on these new popular colors).
Anyone else think that this was all just a big stint to keep him from revealing the information to a bunch of people? I want to see what they went through so much trouble to hide.
I gaurentee you that in January 2007, Windows Vista will not be released. I am going to go as far as to say thay it will not even be released in the first half of 2007. I am going to quote this post during that time.
I bet that the supercomputer would never win against my simple program running on a PC(just figuring out where to move, not drawing an x or an o on a piece of paper by itself). Tic-Tac-Toe is a very easy game to be perfect at, there is no need for a supercomputer.
"Our" doesn't include me, my vote isn't going to be for the dumbasses who propagate that stuff, and I'm going to inform as many people as I can why they shouldn't vote for them. I recommend you do the same.
Companies and people pooling their resources together on a project that profits all of them. Data is not something that has to be restricted like Microsoft and RIAA/MPAA want you to think.

These companies are combining their resorces to make a linux distro for there phones quickly. The cost could have been multiplied due to each company getting there own os running and not sharing the data(should source code be refered to as data or information?). By following the methods open source software is based on, a single os will be developed and lots of money may be saved.
Is there anyway that we can limit what the government knows about what we do online? I spend most of my time online, be it browsing the web, sending an essay back and forth over wires, or IMing friends, there is way more information the government is storing about us than there ever was before. There are plenty of things that I have done on the net that I don't want some ultra-right-wing creep looking through. It wouldn't be that hard to realy stop them in their tracks. Can't you just make some realy big anonomyzer for your town? That way no personally Identable information goes out to the global wires?
There are real problems with the IP monopolies though. Lol, I wonder if this is encoraged by the government, maybe some kind of reward for their carnivore project.
Btw, "ultra-right-wing creeps" isn't just irrational name-calling, just read some of the stuff from Russ Tice, and why he was fired.
From another slashdotter: "In 1999, I worked as a contract engineer for a Linux consulting company. We delivered kernel enhancements for the Linux kernel on the Alpha processor to the NSA. The enhancements we to reduce TLB miss overhead when doing comparisons and searches on large amounts of data. The benchmark run to test it was a keyword search through a stream of e-mails. This was to run on a *massive* cluster of Alpha machines. I would guess they've upgraded it several times since then.
1999 was while Clinton was still president, BTW.

That's because that project has been given up. So, while I may be playing Duke Nukem Forever sometime near the end of this century, I will never be playing it on a Phantom game console. However jokes about playing this on Windows Vista are still valid.
A big thing about the laptop is getting rid of bloat, I doubt they would even include Open Office or MS word, however i'm sure their bloat-free equivlants will run just fine. vi or notepad.
They will probably add some things bigger than those though.
It is stupid that anyone can sue over decoders! They are only used to get to content that has already been compressed. It is necessary to use them in order to get the the video/audio that some idiot used to encode/compress them. When someone pays Lucent to distribute a decoder, they are not paying for the technical superiority of the algorithm, they are paying so it can get to the content. What incompetence in the government there must be for this to happen. Somebody needs to get kicked out of office. Stupid politicions.
I hope Microsoft has the legal might to hit Lucent hard upside the head. Probably not, that would mean us open source users would not be as fucked on the issue of legal decoders. Just like how Microsoft won't incorperate an ogg vorbis decoder into their bundled media player.
Just a little sidenote, if you intent to distribute content please use the Ogg Vorbis codec, so people like me can get to it.
There are places that sell PCs and don't force you to pay for windows. I found this website from someone else who posted a link to it on slashdot. They also have other nice things music like that doesn't have DRM.

Lol, I see someone else has been going through the data looking for what people experienced when using linux.
The result was very unexpected, turns out there is a lot of wierd porn sites with linux in their url.

Then who will police the people who program the robots? Wait, on second thought, that could be me... Yay for robot government!
Is there anyway I can see the power point slides he was going to show?

The default for all wireless routers should be to allow traffic from anyone, but to give the owner priority.

OpenBSD for the desktop! Yay!
Or maybe a new kind of firework?
Guess the tinfoil hat brigade may of been on to something.
Note that I said open, not unsecured.
There really should be some way to allow other people to use your unused bandwidth. Then, have it be the default on all wireless routers.

The problem with this is that other people would be able to transmit their own signals into your body.
A priest, a rabbi, and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender says "What is this, some kind of joke?"
make you feel pleasure everytime you let them bill your credit card in-game.
You got to be kiding me, give these companies direct access to my brain! You must of had a lobotomy or something!

What is >the British citizen getting for that expense? A multi-billion-pound government IT boondoggle...
That boondoggle seems very heavy to us Americans!
