CRN drives sales by empowering VARs and technology integrators with the vital news and technology information they need to generate demand and grow revenue. CRN is the newspaper of record for the channel. For 24 years, VARs, Solution Providers, technology integrators and IT consultants have turned to CRN first each week for immediate and actionable information.
This has nothing to do with "best of breed" or anything like that. It's purely about MAXIMIZING REVENUE by doing as little as possible.
Well, it's not like the people calling the shots for the past few years have actually been listening to what the knowledgeable scientists have been telling them.
To clarify on the musician point--I consider a 'musician' to be someone who has the ability to play a musical instrument with some sense of fluidity. From what I've seen here, there is no hint of that (that's not to say that he can't, though). However, as I mentioned, he does certainly have a good ear, a sense of rhythm, and a good feel from progression. All of these are essential for someone to compose music, which he is certainly doing. However, a musician would be someone who could also sit down and play it in one go, which he most likely can't do. However, he certainly has a very strong foundation to begin learning to play more than a few instruments, which would put him well on the road to becoming a musician.
Thus "$.10' can be read as 'ten cents', or 'point one oh cents' by the CSR.
You can read it as either 'ten cents' or 'point one oh dollars', not 'point one oh cents' as you claim. This last one is wrong and is the reason for all of the problems. It doesn't help that we have people around here saying "sure, it's perfectly alright to say it" when it is completely and totally wrong.
When I think of Ultimate (with capital U) DIY Gamer's Cabinet, I think of neon-lights, plasma flow around the cabinet, totally useless smoke coming out from behind the cabinet in at least 4 different colors
Sounds like Wurlitzer needs to start making game cabinets...
...and expendable money to buy everything they already bought on DVD...
I'm curious as to the rationale for this argument because I see it mentioned everytime an article on HD is posted. You do realize that nobody is forced to rebuy stuff they already have, right? Sure, some people will, but it's not like our existing DVDs are suddenly obsolete because we upgraded to HD-DVD/BluRay. Going forward, yes, I will buy some new things on HD-DVD. I may even rebuy a movie or two that I already have. All the while, I'll still continue to purchase regular DVDs, depending on the movie and price. All of this is purely my choice and is in no way forced on me. So give up with the "but you have to buy everything again" argument, because it is pathetically weak.
I wanted to see how far this story has spread, so I googled "verizon bad math." The first hit was this. It looks like Verizon goes out of their way to hire the cheapest programmers they can. Which brings up a question: Which of you slashdotters work for Verizon? : p
Well, considering the summary says that jpgs are available for the last 30 days, then goes on to say there are no "recent" pics for Thailand, it makes you wonder exactly how he's defining "recent."
Pick up two 8GB iPod Nanos for $250 each and duct tape them onto your laptop. As an added bonus, you can RAID them! Sure, it's not 20GB, but at 16GB it's not too bad... : p
Slashdot Mirror
are the proofreaders on Christmas break already?
Already? We're still waiting for them to return from the break they started taking in 1999.
Basically most of the things solve problems that no one cares about.
You are clearly not a manager.

I believe that should be:
3. $25 coupon good towards the purchase of:
4. New HDTV!
Why is there a watermelon there?
I'm just holding out for the yellow model...
Well, it's not like the people calling the shots for the past few years have actually been listening to what the knowledgeable scientists have been telling them.
I don't know what you all are talking about. It must be a problem with both Windows and Linux. The video link works perfectly fine on my Mac. ;)
You should disconnect the fuel line on her car. Just be sure to be around when she discovers it. : D
Of course, we're not asking to have Google Maps working on Lynx, evidently.
No, but it would be pretty cool if somebody would mashup Google Maps with an ASCII converter.
If nothing else, it'd be a cool thing to have on display at parties.
I'm not so sure I'd wanna be at a party where the music is provided via MIDI files...
Decent composer - yes
Skilled editor - yes
Musician - no (not yet)

So because not everything I watch on my new player is in HD, that completely negates the fact that I can watch some things in HD?

and they complain because perentages are hard.
Dude, parentage is hard!
using it on regular dvds might be like the days of hole-punching 720k floppies.
Don't be stupid. DVDs already have the hole punched in them...
I expect that in 15 years most record companies will catch up to today's reality ...
And where will that put them? Oh, that's right. 15 years behind the times...We can only hope that their thinking will be so "progressive."
Well, considering the summary says that jpgs are available for the last 30 days, then goes on to say there are no "recent" pics for Thailand, it makes you wonder exactly how he's defining "recent."
Also, only region receiving light can be seen, which explains why no recent pictures of Thailand are available.
Did I miss something? Did some devious Thai overlord deploy a sun-blocking device recently?
booty traps?
WTOWA? IDK.
