Stop assuming things are always against your pet project.
A tool that scans to see what software packages are installed? Seems like a good idea to me.
Unless of course, you believe in security through obscurity.
Who gives a shit what I buy at the supermarket? Like thats super sensitive information!
If I am going to buy something I dont want traced to me, I dont use the card, and I buy with cash.
See how easy that is!

For every way to be tracked, data collected on you, theres a way around it. Think outside the box.
Wow, I think im gonna go rant on about how theres no privacy left.
comparing a space shuttle to a soyuz is like comparing a luxury pickup truck with a golf cart.
much more complex design with more to go wrong. along with that comes a great deal more of mission capabilities.
Brilliant? Dead people suddenly appearing from nowwhere at just the right place and time?
The show is a non-stop Deus Ex Machina. Playing music easily recognized by the viewing audience as all along the watchtower?
The soap opera bullshit filler episodes really were unnecessary as well.
Better to make 3 good seasons and end it than 3 good ones and 1 soap opera filler one with random plot holes and BS.
Bullshit. The earth has been much warmer in the past without the "zomg serious consequences".
If people want others to take this stuff seriously, stop with the FUD.
articles like this are always fill of assumptions and BS.
Its been proven humans can only see so many frames per second right?
What is it, 30 or something?
And yet people CAN tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps in simulations, games, etc.
Just because you cant see a single pixel out of so many degrees at so many feet dont mean shit.
higher resolution will always look better, even if you can't pick out one minor detail (pixel) of it, or understand why.
eeek!
I am stupid? Because I think posting (the following stuff is broken), followed by a list of NON-broken things doesn't make sense? Ummm....OK?
He bitched about UAC being useless because another app can move your mouse over OK. Ummm, NO IT CANT. Learn more about UAC and how it works before slamming it (directed at the author)
Many people had lots of problems with drivers and such when 2K and XP were first release. This is general knowledge. Just because you didn't, dont mean shit. You fail at the logic. Stop taking your anger pills ummmkay?
But MAN that article was biased. In once section he says "This was not the only difficulty we had with hardware."
and then promptly listed 5 things that worked flawlessly. WTF?
The article was 90% (it worked fine and I have no problems) and the rest was (I am annoyed by UAC and dont understand how it works)+ I had a single driver issue ZOMG. Id like to see a raise of hands of people who've installed Linux without a SINGLE driver/hardware issue (so I can chop it off because your a liar)
Power user indeed.
LIke someone said, this is XP and 2K all over again. Wait until SP1, and it will be fine. Early adopters, good luck.
But a company shouldn't *have* to recognize anything. If they don't take care of their employees, they go out of business. let economic darwinism takes its course, not over legislated protectionism or mafia I mean union rackets.
All your points can be answered with competition in the marketplace.
If a company is crappy, they go out of business.
If they treat their employess crappy, the customers suffer, and they go out of business.
Im not arguing your concerns, only the proper solution.
Unions and laws are not the way...the market place and the consumers spending habits are.
Companies have the right to make stupid decisions, and employees have the right to work somewhere else.
fuck unions.
No one is *entitled* to a job.
If you don't like it where you work, quit and move on.
A companies job is to make money, not support the populace.
"someday, I'm going to stare at that terrifying situation"
You don't know shit. You're crying for attention because you want people to feel sorry for you. "Oh the brave teacher!" Your more likely to get struck by lightning or run over by a car then shot by some student. How often do incidents like that happen? Hardly ever. Stop attention whoring.
not necessarily.
pressure in the system will be increasing over time.
worse case, if our attempt to relieve it causes it pop, it will still have less total energy then it does in 1000 years or whatever.
playing the victim?
whatever dude, you are reading WAY too much into my post and taking it way to seriously.
I was simlpy griping about another stupid change made by idiotic government bodies.
get over yourself, ummmkay?
Stupid congress and their DST. How much energy do they think we will save by moving up DST 3 weeks?
How much economic loss will be caused by companies all over the place busting their ass trying to get all kinds of systems pathced and working right...?

Youre an idiot. Stop posting. The 1's decay, quickly. Without power, the RAM soon becomes all zeros.

Sweet, when you figure out how and why the universe came into being, let us all know.
Its not possible. Someone must have spoofed the DNS entry for /.
I thought H. Chavez was cool because he hates Dubya.

Microsoft is adjusting prices to meet demand? Every sane business does this.
ZOMG get the torches and lets march!
well, you certainly sound like a manager.
You decide an entire methodology for development is stupid because of one bad experience and you would fire anyone who dare challenge your AUTHORITAY!
and its very easy to turn of all together, but the linux zealots are too busy hand-editing config files and such to learn such minute details.

He's also an asshole. Im sure if anyone has a dossier on him its not pleasant.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to discuss ways to relieve some of the pressure through drilling or mini nukes or something.
Slashdot needs a way to "thumbs down" stupid articles so they disappear.

The question was rhetorical. Instead of mucking with the time zone and such, there are other far more sensible ways to save energy.
Too bad? So that means I am not allowed to complain about it? Do my complaint insults Prince Dubya?
No match for lobbyists? Really? Thanks for keeping me enlightened. Go back to bed Mr. cranky pants.
Stupid congress and their DST. How much energy do they think we will save by moving up DST 3 weeks? How much economic loss will be caused by companies all over the place busting their ass trying to get all kinds of systems pathced and working right...?
Idiot congresspeople.
