(Well, it's either that, or they've got a side bet about who can come up with the worst name...)
Yeah, because there's absolutely no possibilty that someone will write a program for Longhorn(Vista) that will support Atom.
Longhorn's coming release appears to be the final nail in the coffin of the Atom specification
I guess because Microsoft declares something, that's it. Everyone else should just pack up and go home. (Someone should be sure to tell those Firefox people that Firefox isn't going to be on the Vista install CD!)
I don't have a dog in this fight, but this story seems to have a bias.
I understand what you mean. Most of the documentation on device drivers either has too little sample code (ie, it won't compile without a lot of other stuff) or they try to implement a dozen things and make the code way too confusing!
willingness of Aussies to give up privacy rights for the ability to time shift televison
Isn't this the same place where it's illegal to rip a cd to mp3 or to copy it an iPod? Of course they are willing to give up privacy in exchange for more rights to do what they want with the content.
The problem with an Apple OS running on just any old hardware is that they would then be facing some of the problems that Microsoft faces: making it run on all kinds of different hardware. They would have to support dozens of graphics cards and sound cards and other hardware that has differing standards of production. Getting everything to work right could be a big problem that would require more code in the OS. Right now, they tightly control the hardware, so they are able to make the user experience a nice one. (Which right now is one of their big pluses). If they lose that, they could lose customers.
...we couldn't afford them fancy "laptop" computers. We had big bulky gray boxes that sat on your desk. And we used a modem to dial-up a BBS. And we liked it. We loved it. We didn't have no fancy "high speed wireless internet". If we wanted to know something, we looked it up in a book! And we didn't have no fancy "instant messenger". If we wanted to talk to someone, we called them on the phone!! And we liked it. We loved it!...young whipper snappers......
Slashdot Mirror
I know it's a real word. My point was (and maybe I wasn't clear) is that neither word is related to computers.

Net or gross?
RSS will be in Longhorn
Yeah, because there's absolutely no possibilty that someone will write a program for Longhorn(Vista) that will support Atom.

Will this one be in Russian too?
You have to weed thru them to find the good ones. Try http://itconversations.com/ and also http://www.thisweekintech.com/
Probably because good Flash tools cost a lot of money.
Well, there's your problem....you're watching PBS...you're probably falling asleep halfway thru....
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when are we going to see the Google Moon project??
is so old fashioned.
Anybody got a podcasts of this?
(err...wait, this is slashdot....)
Anybody get a torret of this?
(err...wait, this is slashdot....)
Where's the torret?!

Looks like Microsoft is going to be adding another paragraph to the Windows EULA soon... :-)
Hey, you could have your own law:
Quebec's law: "Each time some expert's saying that Moore's Law is about to hit a barrier,
there is something going on like those promising nanotubes."

Wow. If you're so good that your resume can do that, you're hired!!

Apple's offering of its iTures service
Is iTures the Japanese spelling of iTunes?
If the editors aren't going to check for dupes, the least they could do is spell check.
I wonder if Australian police are as (radar gun) trigger happy as they are in certain parts of the U.S.
I wonder if Australians drive as fast in as people do in certain parts of the U.S.
If he can afford to pay them $7,000,000 then imagine how much more money he must still have!

Does he/she even need to mention that the project was open source? Why not just list it like any other project?
"How quickly open-source programs can narrow the gap with commercial software"
Maybe what Linux needs is commerical software.
similar to Unix shells such as bash, but is based on object-oriented programming and the .Net framework.
.Net framework was supposed to prevent malicious code by sandboxing things.
I thought that the
