when the fuck 'giving a presentation while in motion' has become an integral part of life ? and why ? and you are still talking about recipes ?
netbooks dead ? is that why i see netbooks lined up in all the tech megastores here, and people buying them ?
no, you didnt realize you were feeding a troll. i realized i was talking with a zealot after the 'netbooks are dead' bullshit. thank you for your time and have a nice day.
wow. tweak a presentation, 'read a recipe in the KITCHEN'. yes. i see that i was wrong. this is great computing. i could do none of these with a more functional, similar form factor netbook. damn. how naive i was.
2) if people come up, and describe 'presentations, reading emails, and viewing calendars' as 'mobile computing', it means they either dont know what work is, or what computing is. this would mean that they are fanbois.
definitely. ALL the stuff these people say they are doing on their tablets, people were doing on their blackberries with even less amenities for a decade now. bar the presentation.
I have an iPad and I get real work done on it every day. For example just today, I gave a 50 page presentation using my iPad. And a few weeks ago, I was giving a presentation to about 100 people. and right before I went on, I was still editing my presentation, right on my iPad.
you are giving presentations on an ipad. the very thing you could do on a projection. or a laptop.
and
I am also able to get my work email and calendar, so, I have the ability to do most communication tasks I would do on my desktop. Plus, in a pinch, I can turn on VPN in to the work network, and run VNC, and do some tasks there.
ooooh !! you ALSO write emails !! and see a calendar !! thats great !!! except that if this is what you call 'mobile computing', and the 'work' related to that, please next time spare us the bullshit. a decent screen size half-smartphone can do all of those things, with the exception of the obscure 'tasks' you speak of doing with vpn. i assume instant messenger talk or other shit.
so this is the idea of apple fanbois' 'mobile computing'. giving presentations, presentations, more presentations, reading emails, a calendar, and, some obscure and inexplicable 'tasks'.
am i generalizing ? yes. someone else precisely told similar things on how he was doing 'mobile computing' on his ipad, and how great ipad and apple was. it apparently is a general naivete among you apple fanbois to take giving presentations and reading emails as 'mobile computing'. you dont need the word 'compute' there. its just 'mobile'. and a phone is sufficient for those.
I've completely replaced my laptop for all mobile computing with an iPad
if you replaced your laptop for all mobile computing with an ipad, then it is apparent that you were not doing mobile computing at all.
'writing emails', 'reading books', 'consume entertainment' is not 'mobile computing'. not to mention the stupidly simple and ungaugeable concepts you utter like 'making money'. ALL of these can be done with a decently sized, hell, even small sized half-smartphone.
while trying to do otherwise, you have become a pretty good example of what kind of fad this tablet fad is - an apple fad. perfectly portrayed by an apple fan.
slashdot has become like this, slashdot has become like that, blah blah blah, and yet, you are still here every day to blabber about it ?
it means, it apparently worked, and there was no need to fix it.
and i am at a failure to understand malda's resign too. see, i commend japanese in their understanding of life/work. if they are doing something they like, they do it until they die. not even 76 or 86 years of age stops them. i had had seen an engineer who was in turkey to undertake some engineering for a national turkish textile manufacturing plant. he was STILL working at the age of 75, and he was so lively, energetic, looking young (you couldnt say he was over 45 at best by looking at him), slender and tall that, you could easily mistake him for someone who is just into senior engineering years. yet he was there, getting up earlier than everyone else, working more than everyone else, and going younger everyday for it.
so, i say it is rather stupid for the parent company of slashdot 'fixing' something that already worked. and it is stupid for malda to quit something he likes doing.
on a sidenote, the moment i glimpse that profits and shareholders has become more important than the principle this place was running on, i will quit this place. i dont need a 'better' slashdot, or anything else. if something works, let it work. its that simple.
had you been familiar with the types who play starcraft, you would know that there are quite a number of psychos among them, and would not talk like that. 'physical prowess' doesnt mean shit when some psycho suddenly knees you in the balls.
Some students in some school trying to hack a remote website as a lesson or undertaking a project of cyberwar does not constitute cyberwar. if it is a military school it is even more than normal that they would be given such a project, because - not surprisingly - the military types see something called 'cyberthreat' and are carrying their military mindset to information technology like they get everything involved with warfare.
otherwise defcon et al would be considered the biggest cyberwar perpetrators on earth.
They were trying to push ACTA too, and look what happened in the end ? Eu Parl effectively banned acta eu wide so efficiently that it would serve no purpose. and thats why you dont hear about much these days probably.
Why this person is still able to freely roam the streets without fear. someone betrays people, like this, and still is able to live a normal life. noone stops them on their way home and holds them accountable.
This shouldnt have been any surprise when it recently came out that cia had undertaken a program to break up wikileaks 1-1.5 years ago.
probably, this SON OF WHORE was up in arms with them. the uppercase phrase was was used to convey my thoughts and feelings about his persona in precision.
This will be great, great towards killing windows. And i mean it.
more than half of the world uses your product in pirated state. and if they are unable to do it anymore, they will have to use other oses. with dwindling numbers in userbase and increasing numbers in userbase of another os, windows will use the predominant platform status and another os will gain it, and this will cause a move of developers and software houses as well - which will parabolically increase the rate windows loses market share.
there could be no better way to kill windows and kill microsoft technologies than reducing the platform proliferation. and, you are going to do it for us for free !
thank you !
one would say that microsoft could wise up at this stage and turn a blind eye to pirated usage to keep predominant platform status. actually one microsoft exec once said they preferred people to pirate their os, if they are going to pirate anything - and he was right.
one would think that if people put it like this, microsoft would wise up indeed. but you know what the good part is..... i know that microsoft is NOT going to at all wise up, even if people from microsoft realized the situation. nomatter what we say here or what hint we give or what dangerous forecast we let them, they are going to do what they are going to do.
bye windows. it has been approx 15 years with ups and downs. mostly downs.
in portugal. this clears it. very probably, you had a cheapo distributor that wanted to make most bang for the buck, and dealt with low quality card producers.
in case you forgot - ati is not a CARD manufacturer. it is a chip manufacturer. video cards are just like motherboards - you have to buy proper quality card.
sapphire for example. or asus. you cant go wrong with these. while other brands may have problems, you may overclock sapphires to oblivion. which was what i did in age of conan for example.
fyi, that 3870 is STILL alive, and i just have given it as a primary graphics card in a 4 gig ram amd 4800 machine to my friend's sister's family. it will be the primary computer, and it plays sims 3 comfortably, for example. sims 3 is a demanding game when you choose high detail and a big town.
in addition, you may have gotten a bad batch. just like how endless people who bought new asus crosshair v (a prime mobo for new generation amd cpus) from newegg :
read the reviews/feedback there. almost half of people had to RMA the board. one could say that it is due to new uefi bios that these cards are creating problems - but no. there are people who had cards that had fallen off transistors/capacitors, broken caps on arrival, and a lot of different assortment of other problems.
now, newegg is a MAJOR distributor in usa. asus is a top notch company. crosshair v is 'the' new overclock card. then, what went wrong ?
the answer is simple : the subcontractor manufacturer in southeast asia fucked up the production batch and people received a shitty batch. just like how some batch of creative xtreme music cards a shitty batch back a few years ago, and another batch had the best sound quality of any sound card back then. ( the quality of some pieces used were different).
this is how it is. unfortunately, these things happen, and will continue to happen, and in most cases, the consumers will not even be aware that they received a shitty batch.
wisest is to always use a good distributor selling products of a reliable card manufacturer. in terms of ati cards, this is always sapphire, or asus. sapphire comes first. their community forum is also very helpful and lively, and there are people doing crazy things with these cards there.

none of what you say above justifies a tablet over a netbook which has the same form factor.
data presentation plus emailing does not add up to 'mobile computing'.
2-3 warts do not add up to constitute 'mobile computing'. these dorks say they do.
wow. tweak a presentation, 'read a recipe in the KITCHEN'. yes. i see that i was wrong. this is great computing. i could do none of these with a more functional, similar form factor netbook. damn. how naive i was.
1) i dont give a damn about shift keys.
2) if people come up, and describe 'presentations, reading emails, and viewing calendars' as 'mobile computing', it means they either dont know what work is, or what computing is. this would mean that they are fanbois.

THEM CHINESE !!! right ? precisely proper after the fashion of china fobia and china blaming that is so hip in usa nowadays ....
mateys ?!?!
What does this mean for the future of Java users and developers ? will we be oracle's bitches ?
i would like to let anyone know that i wont, if it comes to that.

can you imagine ?
How about we boycott anything relevant to atari and its subsidiaries/parents ? i bet it would be quite an exciting experience for their stockholders.
corporations need to learn not to take consumers as herdable cattle.
any of them ?
currently, there are no repercussions for being a public enemy and harming millions.
