What are you kidding me? I keep slashdot in business because I am here so much. If I stopped visiting/. their they have to reduce what they charge to their advertisters.:P
That LINUX is evil, just ask M$, they will tell you how it crashes computers all the time. I have heard of stories where LINUX has turned off the sun. Third grade linux users are writing code that causes hardware like keyboards and mice to break all the time... How is HP supposed to be responsible such catastrophies...
Oh wait tech support for linux on systems costs companies more, that's why it voids the warranty... I would like to see some one take this to court.
I use both hands to type, so I have to hold the Cap-Lock key down, revert to one handed typing and enter a command. This is supposed to be easier? I'd rather type with my forehead than do that. I am waiting for the day when I can talk to my mouse and my commands are carried out. "Computer.... computer... Keyboards, how quaint!" I guess the real market is for the home user that uses two fingers to type and can't spell (which I suffer from) It's nice to cross-platform for software and applications.
It sure seems to me that the media companies chasing the people finding holes in their impenetrable fortress' is much like a dog that chases his own tail. Every once in a while he gets it, but then it hurts and he lets go, and then he off again chasing his tail. The time and money they spend protecting their stuff might be better spend on an ad campaign, or better yet drop the prices of the content so that maybe, just maybe they will sell a few more..
I totally agree with the statement. While spamming is at worst a real pain in the ass, at best a hassle, but it doesn't even scratch the surface when compared to the really nasty people in the world. But boy the government sure is sending a message here. Drink and drive and kill someone you'll get a couple of years, send some spam... LIFE
I second your your nomination that all politicians are only interested in getting re-elected. Any speech that goes against their view points is vulgar and needs to be monitored (=silenced?)
Very good point, I often argue that same point, cost vs savings, and I too got caught. Ok Ok I bought the monitors to keep up with the Jones' and needed a somewhat decent argument to help me sleep at night.
I have never blamed the gadgets in my house for the rise in electrical consumption. I have a teenager that watches way too much television. If he isn't watching TV he's on the Computer. How have I compensated for this? Well for the dual screen PC, turn one off screen while playing a game, it burns power and doesn't get looked at anyways. Buy LCD Screens they save power. Turn off the TV while playing on the computer, I can not count the number of times the TV was on while playing on the computer. Change all the light bulbs for low watt bulbs. Some basic common sence goes a long long ways.
Microsoft is almost never inexpensive, but M$ sure seems to be leaders in making profit in just about everything they do. Just as with the XBox, they enter the market, price their goods, make a profit and laugh all the way to the bank.
Sounds like a large "air/people core" transformer to me. I am not sure if I like the idea of RF energy in my work/home. One the plus side I bet it will drive away any bugs.
Man I'd hate to think if they counted the hours I spend reading/. Sure, Sure I can tell them that it's all research, I might even get away with it. I guess it's only a matter of time until I reach the time out error on my web browser.
Nobody deserves to get Phished, not now, not ever, no matter how stupid they might be (especially since I find myself in the stupid category way too often) That's like saying, "You left your car parked on the road, you deserve to have it stolen."
First you must define cheating.. To copy from one and quote as your's - cheating, to copy from many - good research. Ok end of humor...
Just the other day we flame a guy that cheats on Xbox live, his explanation is that there are probably others on the other side cheating. Today we hear how 1/2 of all the students are cheating in college. I find some parallels here that really scare me, I am to now assume that 50% of the population cheats at everything?
Here is my conspiracy theory. They hired Mrs. Dunn, told her they had leaks on the board. She accepted the position, taking orders from some one else. She will be well paid for taking some slack on this whole ordeal. Everyone will walk, except the company that was hired, they will go out of business, HP will blame them that it was their fault. Mrs Dunn will retire, she is ready to, she's been fighting cancer for far too long now, ready for some R&R on HP's money. Just my imagination here but stranger things have happened.
Hello, thanks for inviting me to this forum, My name is "George" and it's been 21 months, 4 days and 5 hours since I have had a cell phone. It was hard at first, not having a cell phone, I went through withdrawl symtoms, my hands hurt, I had hot flashes, and seeing some one else use a cell phone made me dizzy. Now thanks to groups like this (Cell Phone User Anomoyous) I am cell phone free. I am no longer tied down by the man, I am free, no longer can the corporate weenies contact me at a whim, I am free, oh thank god I am free.
I think the cops from Mr. King's arrest are looking for part time work. There is a cop in San Diego that was off duty and shot a football player the other night, he might be looking for a job. I don't trust cops any further than I can push their cop cars up a hill. Rather have some numb looking security guard sitting there, doing little to nothing and when I walk by with out showing my receipt he just smiles and says, "Have a nice day."
Before I started this I didn't care about the answer, but now I realize that this question is as important as "Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything" and as I read I have realized that we humans are not powerful enough to answer this question. We should build a super computer with more VM and VA and more processors, yes, then we can ask it the question.
This reporter talks about the science of using liquids to blow up a plane and how much it would take. It only took a few box cutters and knives to take out several aircraft in late 2001. It's not about how much is required to blow up the plane, it's about how much is required to get control of the plane, and in that case a.5 ounce can of pepper spray could do the job.

Who can forget the very toxic substance Dihydrogen Monoxide? How many dozens of people have fallen for this???

I totally agree, I would like to see the GPL validated and enforced. Hold their feet to the fire!

I knew it! We should have purchased the extended service agreement. Just as the warranty runs out it breaks.
