I'm pretty rare in that I think fighting is my business (not that I do it!)
I'd be pretty peeved if a cop arrested me for getting in a fist fight somewhere where noone else was likely to be hurt, and we were both obviously consenting to said fight.

That..is amazing.
I have set up line of sight networking for organizations, free satellite broadcast connections (slow) between cities, and neighborhood-to-neighboorhood cabling for free connections to friends.
the difficulty lies in the fact that what people want out of the web is typically the same as what can be googled -- random data, websites, etc. which requires everyone to be on the same internet. And if you even got all the major ISPs to link up with an alternate DNS scheme separate from government control or inclusion, they'd still find a way to get in and manage.
I think a singularity is possible, by the definition of "a point beyond which we cannot hypothesize", because we cannot truly conceive/understand of that point. But will it necessarily be AI, or even computers, that create this? It's about as likely as extraterrestrial contact. Which is, you'll note, also a singularity.
Uh, few people use hauppage as an output card. He may be using a good hauppage (or other brand, god forbid) tv input, but he still needs a tv-out!
For example I have the hauppage pvr-250 and an nvidia geforce fx 5200; they serve different functions.
because OP's 'obviously' statement seemed to imply he thought the current GPUs were a good marker of CPU quality -- i.e. he was impressed by the GPU specs, and so wondered why they don't make CPU's (7 times better than current)
so GP was right in pointing out that it's not a very good indicator of CPU strength, and thus we have little reason to believe nvidia would make a good CPU.
tada!
The average windows user doesn't know how to do that..you make it sounds like they do.
In linux it is approximately the same amount of effort: pop in a live cd and repair grubs config or installation.
Well I don't know about *most* games being encrypted, but even if they are it is in such a way that we can still get a signature on them;
A packet sniffer/shaper will see game traffic for what it is, whereas anything at all utilizing SSL is masked and grouped under the same category.
GP was vague. Several branches of IBM have migrated to linux. Nothing near the vast majority (IBM is a big company!)
Then again, IBM isn't historically anti-*NIX.
The GP obviously DID know what gnome was, and so it seems to me that the parent's comment was warranted.
He wasn't writing it for the random linux know-nothing.
As for less choice? You're an idiot.
Slashdot Mirror
you mean like the run to produce the original office suite?
aka the only time MS ever learned anything.

To be fair Cat_byte (suspicious!), puppies are a really good reason to leave slashdot.
Morse code is still in widespread use in the world :p

What if you want to re-watch an entire series? Legally dubious but functionally awesome.

Is there a reason, oh AC? Besides the desire not to migrate (not that it's an invalid reason!)

I don't see him mention paper. He says printing, so I assumed he meant circuit board.

Alls I do is cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc
NBC is in some seriously nigh-propagandist shit.
Not all slashdotters are web developers. Some of us are involved in other levels of geek.
My segment of DHS is up to spec. I wonder why we never hear about the others.

Hm. As a manager of several thousand XP machines I am afraid you must live in an alternate dimension.
Your mentality is wrong here. Linux is not, overall, trying to be windows. Windows is trying to be linux!

OMG! No it doesn't?
Really must stop getting involved with trolls..:/

google single instance storage, son.
Being an administrator of Cisco's existing IPTV solutions, I probably trust AT&T to do a better job.
Hell, MICROSOFT could do a better job than this.
