Go ask 10 non-technical people if they would consider using Linux as an OS, and 9 will look at you like you just spoke Greek to them. While actually, you were speaking Geek! *drumroll*
I've been using the SummaryService from OS X recently to create my own summaries and see if I like it enough to go through the entire article. Here's what is says if I put the slider down to about 25%:
These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don't just cause development/debugging problems, but will *ASSUREDLY* be exploitable from userland code.
...Note that some errata like AI65, AI79, AI43, AI39, AI90, AI99 scare the hell out of us. Some of these are things that cannot be fixed in running code, and some are things that every operating system will do until about mid-2008, because that is how the MMU has always been managed on all generations of Intel/AMD/whoeverelse hardware.
...(While here, I would like to say that AMD is becoming less helpful day by day towards open source operating systems too, perhaps because their serious errata lists are growing rapidly too). Pretty good, I think!
You know those shirts from thinkgeek.com that threaten to replace you with a small shell script? Turns out there might be something to it for Slashdot editors.
One that I am familiar with advertises 3 different wireless services (768k MIR for $59, 1M MIR for $99, 3M MIR for $139). Erm... these prices are what, per year??
I pay 34 euro per month for 12 MBit/s downstream and 1 MBit/s upstream through ADSL2. Unfortunately, a glassfiber connection isn't possible yet at my house, but a friend of mine gets 24 Mbit/s up and down for just E 32,95. Fierce competition has been driving broadband prices down and speeds up for years now here in the Netherlands... why is this not the case in the US?
From the article: 'By dividing 145 digitized paintings into pixels and analyzing the colors of each and how they compared with nearby pixels, the system was able to spot patterns unique to the painter.'
So how do you know the paintings you use as source material aren't fake?
Bah, Star Trek, who needs that passive bloated stuff where you have to say "Computer," before the computer actually responds to your request to have some coffee replicated, or press a button on your chest to get someone on the phone.
What we should really be after, is the kind of SR in the Knight's Industries TwoThousand. Yes, K.I.T.T., now there's a computer you can have a nice conversation with. And can pick out some nice '80ies tunes for you as well, while you're at it.
I see this as totally irrelevant, based on the type of people I see at Wal-Mart.
So you can actually tell what OS people prefer, just by looking at them? Wow, maybe you can patent this magical way of vision you have developed, it sounds like a goldmine to me!
That's how you'll get 'em hooked.
If you don't get hooked by the fact that you can create anything on your computer if you put your mind to it and though it might be tough, the sky is limit, you'll never be anything close to a serious programmer anyway. People who need the "fun" of dragging and dropping to build an application is the reason why VB is regarded as a toy.

Well it's working perfectly here in the Netherlands.

Even though it is a little dated, I had windows95 running on a 386 DX 20 with 8mb of ram. It took half an hour to bootup.
That's no surprise, since you're well within the system requirements.
Microsoft is going to be sending little brown things to the EU? Is this as a response of the EU sanctions?
Little is hardly a term to describe the Zune by. The shitbricks Microsoft will be shipping are quite bulky!
The EU nations not successful? The Corot is an ESA mission!

Browsing the slideshow, I found this beauty.
Please, somebody pinch me. IE is clogging up 1 GB of memory in the final build of Vista before launch?! Well, it explains the insane sys reqs though.

The allure and success of Newton...
I'm sorry, "the success of the Newton"? Are you on crack?
I believe it is Microsoft that is nearing 30 years
Their 30th anniversary was last year. Microsoft was founded in April 1975.
"Free" as in "all the material is in proprietary Presenter/PDF/PowerPoint/WMV/WebViewer/MP3 and all of the instructors work for Microsoft".
I see this as totally irrelevant, based on the type of people I see at Wal-Mart.

If your video doesn't play in VLC, Mplayer and Xine, it's probably not a video.
When asked to remove the information, he compiled
Ah yes, obviously a very smart move to cover your sources.
Yeah, a digitally shot, digitally editted, digitally mastered and digitally distributed movie definitely looks better analog.
If Theo wants money, he should get a job and not trust that an open-source project will pay his bills.
You mean the "beta"-tag under the logo?

In response, Microsoft India is trying to sell their stuff to illiterate people. Smart move. Customers who can't read spam aren't bothered by it.
