What would be better is a CPU that can use up to 89W when it needs it, then falls back to much lower - say 10W - when it idle and waiting for me to type a clever response into Slashdot.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool'n'QuietIt works by reducing the processor's clock rate and voltage when the processor is idle.. Before you bash someone else make sure you don't make yourself look like a jackass in the process.
And how exactly does overselling and then compensating by capping promised bandwidth instead of fixing the problem fit into econ 101?
It sure as hell doesn't fit into any 'ethics 101' classes. It doesn't even fit into the 'scrapping a little extra cash off the top category.' See also: lying, steeling, fucking its customers.

This guide will get you up and running. I've used many different guides but this is deffinently my favorite. Detailed pictures great for new users or frustrated not new users.
you are getting a system that last longer and works better (and that is just the hardware, let alone the software).
Lasts longer: Not a chance. Tell me that next time you want to upgrade your Mac when i upgrade my PC.
Works Better: This my friend is opinion. I prefer to build my own system and install a few operating systems on it. As soon as Apple will let me install OSX on my duel core AMD box and not have any problems we will talk.
However i am a fan of how they have the mobo and peripherals inside the screen. Great selling point for me:].
What i think would be cool is if they shared libraries and basic code so that each team could implement features the other team develops. This would still allow Compiz to head in one direction and beryl in another while allowing them to meet together somewhere in the middle on specific features.
Lets throw out some rough numbers. Lets say that window's has 60% of the desktop market share, OSX has 25%, and Linux has 15%. Competition is a good thing i'm sure we all agree on that and 15% of the desktop market share is nothing to laugh at. The problem is the 15% linux has is then divided up. Say Red hat has 4%, ubuntu has 6%, suse has 3%, and other has the rest. Linux doesn't have enough market share to have this much competition. Once most of the main distros have 10-20% of the overall market share then they will be in a better position to compete.
I think what the grand-parent was going at is that there is to much competition within linux, and that there needs to be some mergers. He isn't saying that ubuntu and suse should merge together, but maybe it would be beneficial for them to share a package management system, like how Ubuntu and Debian do (ok so they don't share perfectly, but its easy enough to move a.deb to Ubuntu). I think he is saying instead of having 3 developers per project on 8 similar projects, maybe it would be better to have 8 developers per project on 3 similar projects. To often someone comes along and reinvents the wheel.
I believe the grand-parent is trying to say that if your a developer and you need features X, Y, And Z, then it might be ideal to add them to an already existing program rather than starting your own. Simply saying: linux is spreading its developers thin would be sufficient.
Please note that both reasons I gave both had purpose to them; None of the reasons were 'just because he felt like it'.
The bones being there for fuel... The reason is a given, if you can't figure it out go/wrists now please.
The bones being there to give some geologist something to do... Something to do in the sense of an occupation. In French we often use the verb that means 'to do or to make' in this context.
Why stop at thousands of years? if the deity likes to plant false evidence, how about creating the Earth three years ago, and planting false memories in your head? Or three hours ago. Or three seconds. Anyone supporting creationism must support this argument too.
Your counter-argument does not answer my question. Your counter-argument is simply flamebait and should be modded as such. Simply put I was stating, why couldn't the 'diety' have created the earth with fossil fuels and fossils developing into fossil fuels etc. I haven't seen this question asked nor answered on slashdot and would like a logical response.
After a quick pondering of a few comments and tfa i've come up with:
{ If
the earth was in fact created by a diety then
why exactly couldn't the earth be less than 10 000 years old?
}
Some might say dinosaurs became extinct X years ago, where X is a number greater than 10 000. This is proved by there bones and carbon dating etc. My question is, why exactly couldn't the 'diety' have created the earth with dino bones burried in the earth. Maybe he just happened to know they would be useful for fuel or he wanted to give some geologist something to do or Y (where Y is some other reason).
I'm not a scientist or high level scholor, but there are some holes in evolution just like there are some holes in creationism, but saying that just because there is some evidence to support evolution doesn't mean that creationism is bunk either.
(Note: This isn't necessarily a comment back to your post specifically, it is more to address the overall ideas i've seen from reading slashdot and TFA)
Before that there was this odd notion of being in the same room as the person you were communicating with. We still have that notation today, we just dubbed it with the term 'getting stoned.'
What happens when you switch carriers and they no longer support your shiney new 500 dollar iphone. Your essentially left with a video ipod with 8Gb of storage. So to backup parents post: No, the iphone won't replace the ipod or portable media players, but hopefully cell phones in general will be able to replace portable media players so we just have 1 device to carry around:].
Because everyone wants to be yelling "o yeah do it like that Gran Paradiso Alpha 3, you know how to work it baby." I don't know about you, but i'll pass.

It would reduce the demand on gas stations...
Every gas station wants to reduce the demand. lol... listen to yourself.
AND save the average citizen money.
I'm sure they don't want your money either. Everything else seems spot on though.
I'd rather pay 500

That being said, is there anything illegal about MS re-distributing Ubuntu
No
Can we checksum everything to make sure they didn't trojan any packages?
If someone downloaded it: Yes.

Idiot
Because it is easier to type in bluerayplayer.com/blueray1030/index.php on your phone than to take a picture and send it? Rigghhhttt...
oops, :(. I accidentally marked you as overrated instead of funny =/. Unmodding. Funny joke though.
