Considering that this OS has been denied, and mocked, by Google, I don't think you're going to get any sort of insider info. Google fanboys, just like those that follow Apple, love inventing products for their favourite company to release and spending days discussing features and details that exist only in their imagination.
And get a decent holiday too. Flying the Shuttle around the earth must be fun, but through the festive season? I'd use any excuse I could to stay at home getting drunk and eating too much!
A point well made. What I find disturbing, as a British citizen, is the welcome reaction the British government has provided to this news. We haven't had the death penalty in this country for a long time, a fact that many people are very proud of, but now the government is saying "hooray for more deaths".
It's more than just hypocrisy; it's the continuation of an attack upon civil liberties that has been under way since coalition forces first entered Iraq.
But hey, as long as we can celebrate another death in the middle east...
The news should be that this was announced some time a go, but is still delayed. I've been reading press releases (such as this, sadly undated example) since March of this year (yes, almost 8 months a go). No release date given in the article provided by the submitter, but I've heard rumours of Q2 2007.
This should be good when it's released, but I've long since stopped holding my breath.
I'm wondering about the legality of all this, especially in a criminal justice system. My DNA, for example, can't be used in court as evidence unless certain hoops have been jumped through; the prosecutor needs a reason to obtain a DNA sample and then procedures must be followed.
I wonder if the same systems will apply to a computer analysed image of my face; will there be a criterea for when this image is admissable in court? Will I have rights concerning my image? Or are we just going towards a 1984 style system. Interesting because this hasn't been the result of DNA admissions to court, despite the seemingly more robust nature of this evidence.
That was the same argument Sony gave with regard to their stuff: "What you going to do when your hands get burnt playing a Japanese PSP in Europe?". We poo-poo'ed the idea in an earlier thread.
I'm not trying to troll here; I simply found it amusing that there was two different grey import stories in one day, each treated very differently.
In fact, I wasn't even doing that; my original post asked if this was the same sort of situation as before. The summary didn't make it clear.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the summary talks of grey-markets; are these the same grey markets that were thought of as great until Sony shut down Lik-Sang and are now thought of as bad because of some Cisco gear going wrong?
If this was just for top buisness executives, why'd it get viewed by millions in this slash-vertisment? Obviously Unisys is advertising to all of us, albiet through a new and novel means.
We've been told in the past that the reason that IE was so deeply embedded (to the point that it could not be removed, as we were told) in to the operating system was to improve the online experience of a Windows PC. With Web 2.0 firmly in place, the desire for a web browser integrated in to the operating system is, some would say, greater than ever.
Where do you stand on this issue? How central to the XP and Vista experience will IE7 become?
Free calls within WiFi range? I might as well just get up and go talk face to face. Hell, WiFi range is pretty close to "shouting range" anyway, why leave my seat?
You could just block Slashdot at your external firewall...
Not to troll (my karma has already had the crap beaten out of it on more than one occassion), but if Hemos agrees that 9 pages of ads isn't great, why'd he still put the story on the front page? Here's an idea, don't put such stories on slashdot; the internet will be a better place as a result.
Sony's PS2 Linux Dev kit came with a USB keyboard. I'm sure that something just as devious will be able to be plugged into the PS3. Another USB keyboard perhaps? I'm sure Yellow Dog will have the drivers.
Nuclear disasters on ships waiting to happen are nothing new in that area of the world. Russia still maintains a policy of keeping nuclear waste onboard container ships in the Arctic Sea:
Funny you should say that; OLPC detractors often say "if giving laptops to kids is such a good idea, why don't we start the project at home?" Two replies have been formed: 1; a laptop for every kid in the world isn't actually a very good idea, or 2; we care more about third world children than our own.
Whatever argument you decide to use, the lack of these things in the West is still visible, as noticed by yourself.

There seems to be an easier point and click alternative for Windows and OS X users.
A rack mountable PC? Or one built to AV equipment dimensions? That sort of stuff will never happen.
/sarcasm.

Sorry.
More like science fiction for people with nothing better to do.
