They're not all total BS. It's sold badly but compatibility is fine- blame Creative and ATI for being lazy and not making drivers on time.. Microsoft is definitely not at fault at all there, and anyway compatibility is fine now. Also (I work part time in Windows support), while Vista doesn't have anything like the massive toolset that developed over XP's unprecedented lifespan, Vista actually does tend to have less crazy things go wrong. I don't know why they're trying to discourage the myth of SP1 not solving all of vista's problem's though- since SP1 is coming out very soon they should probably be letting anyone who still thinks that continue to think that.
I tried to play it because I'm certainly willing to have half an hour of laughs for a good shirt.. but the "australia" in the URL is scary since they're shipping things, and though I'd have been willing to install some activex control and take the quiz in IE, apparently the SilverLight installer is just some shady.exe.... so no way ~~~~
Must be, this is crazy. How do artists need to be compensated for making copies of their work? You own the CD, you can copy it, as many times as you want, give/sell it to whoever you want, period. This imaginary property thinking is getting eerily pervasive.. nobody even thinks to question it anymore, even on slashdot.
I do agree somewhat with your sentiment.. I have a very hard time sympathizing with anyone (don't mark me troll but I'm going to say it!) stupid enough to purchase DRM'd media from Microsoft. They've consistently shown that they can't be trusted to keep your content usable over the long term- the PlaysForSure fiasco alone should have driven anyone intelligent away from xbox live.
If you do vote for candidates that support taxes, you are agreeing to pay them and you have nothing to complain about. If you don't vote for them, then it's the government coercing you to pay and that's very much something to complain about.
Nope, they're inset within the lid and go directly down into the back of the laptop. They don't stick out the back or anything- the whole back of the lid and back of the laptop is a flush surface.
Your question is invalid., The important issue is whether I did vote for (and thus legitimize the power of) the current leaders who support copyright, which I did not.
I always loved the way thinkpads look. The sliver-painted plastic look on most other laptops is just painful on the eyes, and glossy screens are good for absolutely nothing except more glare. Thinkpad is where it's at
Well I think thinkpads look sleek now, and even the ancient 3-inch-think thinkpads, which have identical styling look great too. They're solid, performance, business laptops, not balance-on-your-knee make-a-home-video mac commercial laptops.
That analogy works well with slashdot anti-RIAA sentiment, but it's not completely accurate.. the RIAA isn't just some big stupid bully, it has the full support of United States law. It sees a multibillion dollar cash cow and it's milking it- this is not the RIAA's fault, it's the government's for allowing it to happen.
You're the contemptible one because you're holding yourself in contempt every time you judge someone. The contempt piles on your own head faster than you can dole it out- thus, the most contemptible.
Check your zen before you go "reasoning" things out.
How was that flamebait?!?! I'm simply saying that older people take students too seriously; they're not going to go blow up a building, they're just curious about the material. Holy crap mods, this is a new low.
It's hard for older people to take them not seriously. They've seen too many real terrorists and serious threats to give some kids messing around any slack.
TFA makes a good point: the more desktop-friendly linux becomes, the less it loses its no-nonsense technical power. But I don't care what everex is doing with linux.. I have it configured the way I like it and even if they're putting out some watered down linux I can still get my flavor anytime I want.

How does that not still require silverlight?

Space-inefficient hinges? The T60 at least just has 2 small metal hinges entirely inset within the width of the lid.

..and the blackjack. Lern to quote.
Depends on your point of view. IMO it's the fault of the people who voted into office the legislators that made it illegal.

A good EMP is all it takes to lock you out of your own house..

the government can't catch you as long as you use a foreign-based prox-- brb door
Well at least it's good to see that it's not a complete mudslide..

Most contemptible class? Those who hold other classes in contempt.
Let them fear, so long as there's uncertainty and doubt.
