Doctors used remote controls and an imaging screen, similar to a video game, to guide the two-armed robot through Paige Nickason's brain See, Jack Thompson was right all along. COMPUTER GAMES CAN MESS WITH YOUR BRAIN!!!

If you read the comments in menu.lst, you would notice that you are supposed to customize kernel parameters etc. in the commented out sections of menu.lst. On kernel upgrade, the software management system actually looks at those commented out sections and applies your customizations on the kernel boot lines, which it maintains itself.
If you customize on the uncommented actual boot lines, then yes, the customizations will be overwritten, because the computer has no way to know which part of the line need to be changed, and which should stay. That's what the commented sections are for.
I expect that the definition of "Rights" in "P2P Bill of Rights" will be the same as the one in "Digital Rights Management". There will be a whole lot you can't do, and very little that you can do, which you already had before the bill.
The funny thing is for all the people who think Psystar is somehow great, after doing this (assuming it's not just a prank) there is probably a GREATER chance that the hobbyists will get sued in the future.
Yes, but that's no reason to blame it on the small guy (Psystar) that the big guy (Apple) is being a bully.
That doesn't matter. If you expect to see official Linux support on the vendor's site you might as well not buy any hardware. Most hardware that has (community-developed) free drivers is not officially supported by the vendor, so the vendor will not even mention Linux anywhere.
Let's hope this changes as the number of Linux users increases.
Please don't mod me funny, I'm asking quite seriously. If it runs with open source drivers, does 7.1 and has hardware mixing so that I don't have to bother with dmix, I'm buying it tomorrow morning.
Why is she getting just banned, as opposed to sued? IANAL, and if I were to go around sending settlement requests to thousands of people, there must be some law that could be used to stop me.
Is she being treated more lightly just because she's a lawyer?
So Apple won't get 64-bit Photoshop, while Vista will. Then, at some point of time, wine will be good enough to run that on Linux. So in the end, the number one "creativity application" that has always belonged in the Apple world will run on Linux and not run on Mac!
How could is that?!:)
Yes, I know. They have Parallels, and Boot Camp, and what not. But but... just imagine the look on a Mac fanboi's face. Priceless.
In the most recent push Microsoft is partnering with a small Silicon Valley company called SpikeSource to certify open source software on Windows 2008.
Wait a minute. Microsoft's "interoperability" aside, how is open source software certification supposed to work? By definition of open source, I, being the idiot that I am, can freely modify the thing and therefore break whatever signature protects the version that was certified. Then my version becomes lesser by virtue of not being certified anymore. Nevermind that I've fixed those bugs.
How is certified open source any more open than TiVo? "You can look, but you can't touch!"
The last time I bought a high-end nVidia chipset (the 680i), the reference design came with an "optional" chipset fan, to be used when overclocking memory. Without the fan, and without overclocking memory, the system would die within 15 minutes of memtest86. With the fan, you get a noisy whine all the time, also because the fan can only be operated at 50% speed, not less. (At 100%, the fan is ridiculously loud.)
Just sharing my experiences; don't listen to me if you don't want to. Other than the noise issue, the thing is very stable even with a slight CPU+memory overclock.
Come on, they are quite different - Windows XP has a blue taskbar and a green Start menu. 2000 has both of these grey. How much more different can you get...?

Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more... Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back no more!
So they are getting their bandwidth stretched to the limit and getting slashdotted? These people have balls!
And Daniel Robbins! Definitely Daniel Robbins!

Didn't RTFA, but does that figure take into account the possibly large number of users who never bought a computer, but built one from parts?

Incredible. I went from 5 Funnny to 0 Offtopic to 5 Funny to 0 Offtopic. Wow. All I can say is W O W.
BTW, why Offtopic? I would have understood Redundant, but Offtopic? Since when is Slashdot nonsense offtopic on Slashdot? Come on people!
Final remark: I may have been modded into oblivion, but look how many 5 Funny posts happened because of mine. I CREATED YOU!!!

This is very easy to fix! Put a "PayPal: Donate now!" button on the WGA notification pop-up. There ya go, fixed.
What book is this from?
What the hell is "a terrorist act of child pornography"?

I say, more power to Psystar!
Not to start a flamewar, but how many of the aforementioned features does PostgreSQL already have (available or planned)?
Note that I am not asking which DBMS is better for any definition of "better".

Somebody mod me down NOW!!!
