Playing off this notion that/. members don't get girls...
Could you say then that/. is a form of birth control? Maybe computers in general are birth control.
While I don't think this is right of Dell, another option for Buessness + Dell + Ubuntu + support would be to buy a Dell with no OS or buy one with Windows and do not accept the EULA at which entitles you to a small refund for Windows. Load Ubuntu and get OS support from Canonical.
"...the computers will use the open-source Linux, but the components are also compatible with the Windows operating system." Hardware that runs Linux yet is compatible with the Windows operating system? Now that's newsworthy!
Does this mean that a good preventative measure for corporate transparency is to archive every bit of RAM for a specified amount of time?...and you thought Google had bad data retention policies.
I loved this show when I was a kid. I especially liked the episode about steam where he crushed a metal container and burnt a piece of paper all with steam.
Besides building enthusiasm in students for topics such as science and engineering I also think his show paved way for shows like Bill Nye and Mythbusters.
I agree and also read that the aerodynamic design is extremely unstable. This design adds a great deal of agility but requires an onboard computer to stabilize. If all computers crashed, even with manual control, these jets would fall like rocks.
Size is good and all but we really need speed. With the popularity of porable apps and U3 technology we're really going to need a push for speed. Recent speed comparison of some flash drives
I use portable apps such as portable ethereal, firefox, thunderbird, portaputty and I love them but the larger apps or apps with large data such as thunderbird really lag even on USB 2.0 flash drives. Correct me if I'm wrong but the bottleneck is not the USB bus but the flash.
I use the Kurobox for this. The kurobox is basically a modified version of the Buffalo link station but it is designed to be reloaded with a custom linux.
Some pre-configured images are available and include tons of apps for torrent, dyndns, LAMP, e-donkey, samba and all kinds of other stuff. It has a USB port which you could use for another hard drive or USB NIC to turn it into a firewall or router although I'm sure most slashdot readers already have pretty good routers.
I think linksys made a hackable NAS too but I haven't tried that one.
I think the engineers are doing the right thing with USB 2.0 and Firewire 800, new speeds with backwards compatibility. As long as similar progress continues it should make the beeding edge guys happy and the old school usb 1 devices connected.
I agree with this "fast company" article for the most part but lets not forget that designing software under contract for a government agency for which you probably have political ties with is very different from writing commercial software in a highly competitive market.
In one setting, quality far outweighs budget and time. I wouldn't be surprised if there were also hardware delays that give the software developers a bit more time to work on things. (o-rings freezing, foam chipping, and other engineering delays)
For commercial software development, if your competitor releases their product sooner it may be hard to find funding to continue development of your "perfect" software.

Kudos to anyone who gets this reference.

Google keeps making these multi million dollar purchases. I hope they're using a credit card to earn miles.
If this sub is anything like their consumer products like tires, toys or toothpaste we have nothing to worry about.
- Ubuntu price $0
- Dell incentives from trialware/crapware $0
- Net $0
So IMO a $50 savings for Ubuntu is actually impressive.I'd get Novell certifications. SLES seems to dominate as the OS for the top 10.
You could do that but then you'll miss out on most of those http://*/ads/* images!

The picture looks like some sort of light collector at the top. Perhaps distributed throughout the building with fiber optics.
I'm thinking Palm, WM, or Symbian on the Cray.

If RAM is a document, does that mean when my PC overwrites some of the RAM, I'm destroying said documents?

Ah, but they use "stardates" in space...
Actually, studies show that the dream part of wet dreams (nocturnal emission) are rarely sexual.
I thought companies do not need WiMax providers. Can't they can setup their own WiMax stations?
Forget the wires, just get the bleeding edge Linksys pre-Z 108Tbps wireless router. It's even Vista ready.
To diffuse the bomb, cut the yellow wire.
