You can count on pc magazine as being 'fixed' for good. From now on nobody will pay attention to any shit contained within it. And who buys something that contains no real stuff ? Me not.
listening outposts up in their citizens' butts. A ministry of internal affairs spokesman said that it was a surefire way to know what passes inside citizens' personal worlds. Spokesman dismissed allegations about the method invading citizens' privacy as being "Ridiculous".
"But music downloaders are not going to switch to using a service that costs the same as using BitTorrent or Limewire, but comes with abominable disclaimers or advertisements.'"
yea. im not gonna switch to a service that is FREE, just because there are some ads around. yea you got that right. definitely. instead im gonna pay for the same thing like a moron.
You can quote me on this , CNEt, you are going to eat your words.
Will state or federal geological survey or a university take over the coal mine ? Or will mining operations continue ?
this is an important find, even someone not affiliated with archeology, geology, prehistory and whatnot can tell that. if coal mining operation destroys stuff, it wont be good.
But what is important is, which one of them is the major culprit in the process of "farting".
with the fantastically loose relation-establishing logic of this article, correlation between snooker, billards and 3-pool and violence can be established too. But, we then need to discern which of these billards game types are a major factor in committing violent crimes.
You dont know a jack about iran. Islamic Revolution guards rule that country. They are financial (own many big companies) military ( they have their own military) secret service (of their own) apart from the government. Nothing revolutionary guards organization does not allow passes through. Democratic my butt.
and if something is so much mass produced that it will cost $100 instead of $175 when mass produced, when it is built for $100, it will cost $50 when mass produced.
I just logged in, came to slashdot to read a little and chill out, looked a few topics, scrolled a bit down, and stunned for a few seconds - "RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio".
Instantly i have understand that as something like :
"RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artists, their mamas, lower Iowa and upper Wisconsin" or something.
or
"RIAA Claims birthright to the United States throne" or something.
These people came to the point of claiming stuff now ?
Typing in from a country that is stuck amidst 1st world and 3rd world neighbors, and cant decide which category itself falls into, im saying that $175 price tag for OLPC means labeling it as "DEAD" with colorfully lettered stickers.
even in turkey $175 for such a device is way too much that any family wanting to buy one might ask the supplier whether they will let them pay in installments spreading over 12 or better, 24 months.
Needless to say that in countries that fall in southern and southeastern directions from turkey, which encompass most of the 3rd world countries, $175 will just make olpc a no gamer.
evidently someone sold their soul to some bastards. sad to see, as this olpc thing actually had a chance.
this $175 deal thing is apparently something to enable microsoft to push windows crap on them to third (and second) world so that they will create a userbase and a future upgrade market. if this shit goes through like this,i got to say that, as an it world participant and employee, i will consult anyone and any institution in my area against olpc and ensure i have a hand in its failure. despite i want it to happen very much, better not to happen, than to happen foul.
maybe everything is not over yet. If olpc contributors reassess the situation and pressurize the leaders, sold souls might be reclaimed, if it is not too late.
We, as homo sapiens sapiens, live socially. And we discern who is "good" and who is "bad", depending on their track record.
ie, if some acquaintance of yours busts your ass a few times, harming you in any way, you instinctively do not get close with him/her.
similarly, if someone you know proves that s/he is trustworthy and reliable continuously, you trust him/her.
in the case of microsoft, there are innumerable examples in the past where they screwed many parties both friend or foe, so due to their track record people dont trust them.
Just yesterday, i bailed out a new client of mine who was a refugee of bCentral, an ecommerce service that was run for small businesses by microsoft. Microsoft just announced that they would be closing down bcentral service at 30 april, with a 1 week or so notice. or longer, and clients should take refuge wherever they can. concentric was the company that microsoft made a deal with to take on the clients, but, they were not able to make my client's transition to oscommerce without any problems, so i was called to fix the mess. It took just 11 hours of work to fix the whole thing with 2000+ products and get him up again. Not to mention that my client felt very much screwed over by microsoft.
This is a fantastic example of perseverance and persistent stability. All sane citizens not only in united states, but in any constituencies in any country in the world should give support to Utah for continuance of this excellent example. There are tears in my eyes.
I wasnt expecting that. The law they put out was just and up-to-standards on modern day technology. I cant see any reason why they should reconsider such an exemplary law.
l, there is going to be need for guns and weapons getting more powerful because bickering and infighting will never end, due to jerks who actually support such policies by shunning visionary and futuristic thoughts.
A day not passes without learning about yet another Hitlerjugend crap pulled by RIAA lackeys.
Get a load of that. "Laws do not apply to riaa". You americans let them go THAT far to the extent that they are now delusional about they being above the law ?
Only step they can take from this point is hiring small gangs to mark and beat up suspected "copyright infringers".
please, you people are too familiar with class action lawsuits. find some clause in some law to sue the shit out of these morons.
whats the prices on these things ? $299 to $550 or something ?
and they were making Dell and other producers PUSH these with new computers. it wasnt like customers had any choice. but then again, dell did not turn on their customers and switched back to providing xp again.

so how this is a pointer to anything ?
now, that difference you speak of, is actually NO difference.
You missed out contexts in this issue.
