Its genious!!
We can put one in Ballmers office and then when his face explodes in that firey red of rage we can just scoop all the oxygen out until he cools down and stops hurling furniture.
Its rather frightening that some slashdotters have the amazing ability to completely miss the point of a post.
It was meant to be a funny non serious post. Seriously, don't read into it too much.
6 months?! Jesus thats a long amount of time. Im lucky if my version of XP remains un self destructed for 6 weeks. Id hate to think how quick vista will break itself. Pretty soon you wont get a disk anymore, windows will have just destroyed itself before you get anywhere near it.
Of course they will. Remember who we are dealing with here. These people take old pensioners and small children to court over the flimsiest of evidence... they dont have much of a Public image left to lose.
When it comes to software performance, it's pretty useless to compare the performance of your software to a previous version of that same software. You need to compare your performance to that of the current leader in the same market. Im sorry but your post got less credible after this sentence. Mainly because IE is the leader in the current market. Im not a vole fanboy, i even hate it more than most, but you need to compare firefox with the market leader, like you said. Which IE is currently. Which it is a huge margin better than.
Noone marches these days, it seems to be a tradition lost by the ages.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the
United States
world where men were free."
Now I might not be that old but marches over our freedom and privacy is what this current situation needs. Marching on issues seems to be regarded as archaic and improper these days... I refuse to fill in the next UK Census. Bring on the £1000 fine, I dont care. Id pay £10000 in the name of privacy and freedom.
I just hope we dont all sit here saying we cant let our freedoms die and just let them slip past whilst we are debating semantics.
Without having read the story i read the headline as Google Agile. Then when i opened up the story i was a bit surprised. Feel free to offtopic me to the pitts of hell. If anyone has any messages for the HP execs let me know.
After AOL realised that there was no gold left in france they packed up their prospector costumes and their picks, sold out, and moved onto the next country. Boy, you sure know when a companys in it neck deep.
"But then we are stuck with the leapords" i hear you proclaim, NO, we put fricking laserbeams on their frickin heads and send them into Afganistan, If Bin laden isnt already dead, he soon will be!
I may be missing something here and someone may have alreay said it, but didnt google buy massive amounts of nationwide Dark Fiber a while back? Say someone on ISP A wants to get information from google at B, but they have to pass over backbone C, But google aint playing ball with Backbone C so they restrict their traffic. Couldnt google just send the data directly to ISP A over their Dark Fiber missing out Backbone C entirely?
Feel free to flame/destroy me here
Also today in a press release Universal Music was speaking of its plans to DRM records and lock them to one specific player. A spokesman said "Our new Record technology will help to protect ourselves, er, i mean our artists against better ideas in the future".
In a counter statement the slashdot community said that this was total bullshit.
they added a disclaimer on the bottom which said "In a survey conducted of Ted stevens close and personal family. In the same survey they also said that they would like lead tubes abolished as it sends out radiation from their monitors"
What happens if you give the windows development team this thing? Jesus we will be searching through even more pointlessly complicated menu's to find paint which have been "Improved by updated graphics"
Im still waiting for a half life movie. That would pull in some revenue. If they gave out free copies of the game with tickets might even be able to get some of these younger kids into PC gaming (The one true form). I know Half-Life got me into it.
A boy who searches for years to find a program that will let him do some examples from his maths book. He is like the/. King. We must find him and make him our saviour, he will lead us to victory over these so called "norms"
Im not a fan of microsoft, hell im not even neutral to em, and i live in the EU (Wish i didnt because importing stuff is a bitch and they keep trying to take our pound away... but thats another story). Microsoft accidentally created this market through bad coding and this gave rise to the big security players. The tech community routinely bludgeons M$ about the bad secuirty in its products and as it takes steps to counter its own bad coding and poor security issues in the past it gets slapped with an anti-trust suit. Its a no win situation for microsoft. It created the market so how is it monopolistic to take it away by fixing problems?
Am I the only person here who read the story and thought "Did I get up in a parrallel timeline today?"
It is the most random thing ive ever seen. ISP's digging spammers gardens up to look for buried treasure? Watch out AOL, Im sure a producer will be on you to make a movie out of this. You just cant make this sort of stuff up.

Just dont hire the same "expert" as the RIAA did. He doesn't believe 2 computers can exist within the same room apparently.

Put them on their YouTube Clone, to copy youtube and warner. Remember they dont innovate, they copy, clone and buyout.

Giving people MORE of this can make them... fly objects around a room and self heal. Anubis don't look too smart now does he.
