Well, as people have pointed out before, this is just a lame marketing trick from an unknown ad company, since you can just use any thinner font and get the same readability with even less ink.
For the marketing trick to work, of course they need to spam their name.
Don't buy a linksys, but do buy one of the ones with similar hardware.
When I bought my Asus WL-500g Premium it shipped with the complete modified linux source in a folder on the CD that contained the usual windows-crapware you seem to get with every product these days (you know, the outdated copy of acrobat reader, some documentation wrapped in a shiny executable and such).
I did install OpenWRT on it, and I'm very happy with the result. I'm also happy with Asus for actually shipping the source, but I never did write them a line and told them. Maybe I should.
Uhm, what are they talking about? What are the things "running in the background" that are presumably hitting the disk all the time? Why do they believe that Windows 98 somehow magically bypass the wear-levelling built in to the SSDs? Or are they talking about raw flash, not sitting behind a controller?
I find this a little scary too: Microsoft also plans a certification program for SSDs
The conspiracy theorist in me see a future with proprietary extensions and requirement for getting certification is to make windows-drivers only...:P
wonder if your firm is capable of making a great game
It's going to take a lot to make me part from my copy of Frontier - Elite II which he wrote. He should perhaps start thinking about what made that game so very interesting, and try that again, instead of whining about any fictional losses from the second hand market.
I'd like to read more about this, do you have any pointers at hand? I thought it was still illegal. I'm not from the U.S. so I don't really know where to start looking.
Even if it seems silly to a lot of us, since certain individual might look at it as porn and not art, it seems legit to at least discuss what is ok.
And what if it's porn for someone and not for someone else? A picture of a horse with an erect penis is porn for some, but I sure hope that someone don't start to claim that we should censor all images of that just because animal sex is illegal. What about other fetishes, for example people who are turned on by uniforms or latex.
I wonder why so many people are so bothered with what other people like and don't like.
This happened to Piratpartiet in Sweden some time before the last election, but not for the kiddie-porn filter, but for some major blacklister that a lot of companies use to filter out gambling and porn.

The CCTV does not decide if you're guilty or not, a human being looking at the pictures are.
In this case, no one even checks if it's possible that the machine made a mistake.

I'm not sure how much mileage you'll get out of installing nethack when the recipient of the PC is a typical 14-yo girl.
I take it from this comment that you don't know many 14-yo girls.

NOTE: Parent is being sarcastic.
So am I being sarcastic or not?
I hope not, because what you say is sadly too true.
So where is the '-1, Spam' mod?
until Windows is not the global standard OS that children will encounter later in life, they should continue to learn to be fluent with it.
As long as the children are only being taught Windows, it will be the global standard OS.

He would possibly have been a better pick, but he didn't want the position.

Yes, many times here at slashdot, for example this very article that we are discussing.

send their flames to /dev/null \Device\Null or NUL depending on OS
It's called NIL: on my Amiga, you insensitive clod!
Yes, there will be a lot of misinformation. And after 5 minutes someone who knows more will post and correct it.
Seeing how women seem to take great pleasure in breaking men down, I'm not sure that would be such a great idea.
Oh my god! You mean it will be hacked to work in exactly the same way it works now?
And also why slashdot doesn't have "-1 because I disagree" moderation
There's always the Overrated mod for this.
when those 10 guilty persons set free cause suffering to countless other innocents
When that happens we'll lock them up. What's so difficult with that?
