Oh, I dunno...maybe because Windows get patched *after* 20% of the users get hammered by _bug_of_the_month_. Remind me again why most of those *nix patches come out.
What does it matter how it is named? They won't accomplish anything is their annual meeting anyway. Maybe it'll be on pay-per-view so we can watch a first rate pissing match.
But seriously, I wonder if this will change ad placement for revenue models? If an ad gets a click on a story older than 36 hours, is it worth more? Hmm, I smell a patent in the works, too.
Great idea!! Now the keyloggers will have my admin password, too!!! To really stop it, stay the hell off the 'net in general. I only hit 30 or so websites on a regular basis, the rest I either don't view or look at with Browster, not that it protects anything, but I figure it helps some. The 'net is a dangerous place after all, we've all seen the movie. Sandra Bullock was in *real* trouble after all.
Ok, so here is the deal: not a bit of the content is worth it. I won't be upgrading my entertainment system, in fact it'll probably get sold off because I don't want to have to have a stack of 6 DVD players sitting in my living room so I can play "dvd roulette" trying to figure out which generation of DRM the disc has so I can decide which of the players to put it into(nothing will be backwards compatible because I could buy a $5 chip from someone in Hong Kong and solder two pins into the DVD players board somewhere.) The music isn't worth it either, hell Beethoven sounds great in MIDI format, so screw bands that get record deals with a major label. Looks like I'll be going 100% indie soon. I have no intention of giving any of the morons my $$$. It won't happen. No movie or song is that good that I should sacrifice my right to watch it whereever, however and on whatever I want. I won't bother trying to bypass it because the RFID tags on everything and the mic in my "netOS" appliance know I hadn't purchased the content and heard it play in my house...so I can expect the Feds to show up and send me to jail for 15 years (extreme paranoia.)
And the children, think of the children! Their parents will end up buying a new Warner Brothers badged mini-van to keep the in-car DVD player up to date for watching the latest shit to come out of hollywood (they won't even think of simply buying a new DVD player, you can thank the automakers marketing gimmicks for that in 2013)...but they won't be able to afford the movies because they are still paying on the last two mini-vans that they got upside down on the loans with.
Bottom-line: it is crap, garbage, and I won't deal with it. Too bad most consumers will simply bend over for all of it.
I give up
Your average gamers develops muscles most people don't...just like your average low handicap golfer develops muscles in their back most people don't know exist, or a guitarist gets huge forearms, or someone who faps too often....

These are being bought by government for ***KIDS***
They are suppose to work, not look good or be *in*. That is why the kids wear $150 shoes....

I think I said "regularly." Besides, does anyone *really* RTFA????
Speak for yourself, kiddo. Now get back into your 'rents basement!!!!
Wow. It didn't even take that long.

hmmmph. Good point...-(bows)-

awful movie BTW....
Can't someone just sue the USGov for being ignorant? Or, should I patent being ignorant?

Hey pal, this isn't France, ok. We aren't so stuck up that we can't change a little bit....
Enter a 512MB flash media drive to store the last version of the OS on...
Well, aren't you a rare breed.
Do they provide an address to send your church memorabilia to so it can be disposed of properly?? They use fire for this sort of thing, right?
Ignorance is not a defense...if this little rant is the best you can come up with, I wish you luck in FPMITAP (federal pound me...)
Is it a wearable computer or a NanoPC????(RTFA)
that even in the OSS community there are still too many pissing matches that sound remarkably like "It's my way or the highway."
You'd be amazed at what non-techy ppl can do with a quick google search. It is the "knows enough to be dangerous" situation.
Nope. The sun has nothing to do with the temperature of the earth. Nothing at all.
Yeah, because the only sources of CO2 are volcanoes and IC engines...you must be kidding, right...how the hell did you get "insightful" for that.
But if they can get it right I won't have to leave the key to my gun lock where my kid can get to it...so PLEASE, think of the children!
...not to mention a court room...
A /. user on gunbroker???? Where do you work, so that I might inform (warn) your coworkers?!?!?!?!?
Um,did you forget how much of your cost per gallon goes to the roads as a tax???
