How much is your time worth? Would you rather have 10 minutes of ads per 15 minutes of actual programmes, or pay $10 a month and have 30 seconds of ads instead?
Furthermore- Saudi Arabia was one of few countries to recognize the Taliban government of Afghanistan and they were actually a major source of FUNDING for them!
Guess which other country provided them with most of their weapons and training. Hint: it's not in the middle east.
I couldn't care less if these countries had nukes, bioweapons or whatever the fuck they want to build. What I'm worried about is the terrorist retaliation attacks using those weapons on my country after the US makes up some excuse to invade them.
I think a good question to ask is why there's an open source Radeon 9800 driver that can run Doom 3 despite ATi not providing any specs, yet the open nv driver can barely run xcompmgr on a 7800GTX.
It looks like someone wrote it in MS Word and used the export to HTML option. There's garbage characters all over it to the point where I couldn't read it any more.
Pick a well-known Linux app. Any will do. Imagine you're one of the main developers for it, and someone comes along and releases a "desktop-ready" Linux distro with your app in it. You're now one of two dozen people that has to deal with unpaid support requests for one hundred million lusers who won't ever RTFM, and who will more often than not tell you to fuck yourself if you even suggest they go read the instructions. You're now stuck with that forever, unless you're willing to destroy your current online identity and start over anonymous.
MS propaganda won't kill Linux and neither will litigation. The 500 mile high tsunami of bullshit the article author is demanding is what will kill it.
If you know a way to go into a paper ballot, tamper with the paper for three minutes and have every result written on that paper for the rest of the day changed without leaving obvious signs, we'd like to hear it.
They're taking one chip design and making it smaller, faster and lower power. Somewhere in the article it mentions that the 90nm version of this CPU takes about 2W at GC speeds. For reference, the DS is rated at 1.6W. You can probably predict where this is going.
The GP post seems to have totally omitted the fact that Nintendo hardware has been the worst black box of them all ever since the NES was released. Unlike MS and Sony who have actually _invited_ people to run homebrew code on their hardware.
You see performance comparisons all the time, and websites dedicated to them, but how often do you get someone comparing the power drain? Or any sort of benchmark using consoles, for that matter.
Leave the phone off the hook. When you start getting house visits from people thinking you were dead etc., tell them exactly who's to blame. You can use the phone normally after the election day. Also remember to make use of your local anti-harassment laws (if you're lucky enough to have them).

This is slashdot. People don't think here.

Serves them right for using such stupid and confusing product names.

Without going to look it up, see if you can recall the date of the Indian Ocean tsunami in less than 3 seconds.

They didn't delete mysql when mysqli was released, so I see no reason why they can't do the same here.
When are they going to fix the insanity of all the string function names?
Looks more like astroturf to me.

When it's about Firefox, the same volume of whining occurs.
It just comes from a smaller, more concentrated, more obnoxious group.
Except it's not for profit.
But it's written in Lisp...
Oh no, don't tell me someone wrote a Lisp interpreter in JS just to run Emacs.
Easy; just type "long" twice in the code instead of once.
GIMP gets a bit irritating after a while. Yes, they've made great improvements on the UI with 2.3 but it's nice to try something fresh sometimes...
Uh, what the hell has this graphics drivel got to do with anything? I was implying they were going to make a portable GC.
Including running like molasses and then BSOD!
But seriously, is this just another one of those "desktop in javascript" things? They've been done a million times, and they all suck.

IMO the GBC Tetris was by far the best, and I don't think the Virtual Console will be getting that any time soon...
Here's what I'd recommend:
Leave the phone off the hook. When you start getting house visits from people thinking you were dead etc., tell them exactly who's to blame. You can use the phone normally after the election day.
Also remember to make use of your local anti-harassment laws (if you're lucky enough to have them).
