I was under the impression that any form of wireless communication during flight was not allowed unless throughly tested and re-tested by airline technicians, etc... Why is it that a low spectrum proprietary wireless signal can be transmitted from the plane with 2.4Ghz WiFi added into the equation, but here in the U.S. I can't turn on a PCS, CDMA, or iDEN based cell phone? Is this odd to anyone else?
Thanks for the mod-up, I realized after reading TFA that we are informed about Microsoft's probing rights in our EULA... but compare that legalese to the clear and concise language used by Google i.e. - "Would you like to opt-in to data mining technologies built-in to our product at your own discretion?" or something along those lines...
Intel has MORE than 10 times the market capital as AMD, and they're still going "head on"? You gotta love the cache size and clock speed on Intel's desktop though, just so... big. I mean, that's better right?
This could be great. Maybe this will be an instant painless, and woking, XGL setup. When the 1337 dude rocking Aero sees how quick and smooth an ATI 9600 can perform XGL fancies - the look on his face will be priceless.
So then, what are the laws in the U.S. - can Google legally deny the Brazilian Government access? It seems like keeping such a huge userbase's data completely private would be a great PR stunt for Google. They can claim that there are so many people in their userbase, that there is no feasible policing possible. Or claim it goes against their policy, and/or guarantees from their user agreement, etc...
Not only that, but it seems like a LOT of the programs released from Google are simply, in a way, tests for their hugely monstrous infrastructure. We know they have shown a lot of interest in artificial intelligence and extreme scale redundancy (and of course all that dark fiber) and I would not be surprised if they are using data from beta tests i.e. - Gmail Hosted, Google Pages, Google Video, etc. to implement some really nice (profit!) things in the future. All of these solutions have insane reliability and speed - essentially from anywhere on earth. I hope to see Google working hard for the next 5 years, before GoogleNet launches.
If you need the funcionality and glitz of 2.6, just run FC5, SuSE, Mandrake etc - leave it to the stable distros to be used for small biz web servers, routers and the like.
I love Google and all, but there seems to be FAR too many Google logos on Slashdot. I count three as of now, and suspect more to follow. However, I am liking the idea of Google Pages and Blogger merging... finally:)
Actually, I had a run in with Google's support last month. I using the new "Gmail Hosted" beta for a company's domain, basically a Gmail for domains with a fully fledged interface complete with company logo etc.
But anyways, everything worked flawlessly, as expected - but soon I saw that the Google Calendar promised during the beta sign-up was not working for any users. I wrote an e-mail to their support team and about two weeks later I got an e-mail telling me everything was ok (no details about what actually was going on with the error) and that Google Calendar would work for all my users. Talk about covering your ass - for a FREE beta on service that can cost a good chunk.
So the point is really, that maybe Google just picks it's battles - their not going to refund you in the presence of fraud or other things simply out of their complete control. They do know how to run a customer support center though.
I was under the impression there was already a free Google hot spot in Union Square no?
This does seem like the ideal situation for Google to provide "free" WiFi with AdSense to all of San Francisco. It will be interesting to see how this develops in other major cities.
You gotta start practicing at an early age to get any good...
And anyway, I always thought spraying some nice paint on a condemned crackhouse was a lot more productive than stealing cars, uziing authorities, and raping prostitutes... but that's just me:)
It appears David has been workinghard over there at Novell to get this into the community quickly perhaps. With some rapid development, I hope this helps people decide next year between Vista "A" $200, "B" $350, or "C" $500 and openSUSE $0.00 + shipping.

They use packet compression and your bandwidth tester reports seeing more data than it truly does.

Microsoft wants to compete with Google...

like Google does, maybe I wouldn't be microwaving genuine Vista Ultimate DVDs into petrol...

Yeah, but on VMware...

finally
(i.e. complete control of which services are running, what's started at boot time etc)
Uh... services.msc and msconfig?

So what? I simultaneously attacked all /. reader's cell phones...
um...with your "SSID's" for immediate Microsoft TechNet offerings! mwaha!
I thought all those features were actually the interesting, intriguing and exciting part of the wait...
I believe it can be installed on gnome.

why? you suck... you should have left your title word out of your post, obviously!
