I can't wait to laugh when he looses it all.
Except the company will probably loose by google buying them out, which means paying this idiot of. Win-Win I guess.
Having used both, and only careing about what works (both well and has a low learn cuver but also offerse good productivity at any endof the curve), not closed vs. open source, I have to say that the average quality I find in closed-source commercial products is better than the average quality I find in open source products - the necessity in the closed source is to get money, and to do that they have to have decently reliable and user friendly software. That being the case, you can still find many open source applications that are just as good, and sometimes even better in most fields, it just takes a lot of sifting through many steaming piles before you find something.
if it's needed by someone who is able do it, or someone who is able to do it an willing to help someone who has neecds different from their own. It's the latter case that is sadly missing from the open source community.
spyware is software that scans your system and sends information back to a sever without telling you that it is doing so, also spyware usually turns itself on and tries to prevent you from turning it off. Since Task Manager sends no information out, directly or indirectly, and does not turn itself on or prevent you from turning it off, it is not spyware.
the not-for-profits would probaly be hit with unfair competition without ad support
The ad support stuff could be done for broadband though. As for power - try putting advertisements in that...
I can see it now: "Hmm, my lights keep blinking on and off in morse code, 'Eat at Dennys'. I'm scared."
That works well too. Or maybe freebird?
And in regards to [some of] the modders: hehehe, sorry to anyone who thought I was trolling, it's just my disgusting, repulsive sense of humor, and the comment was on that one little blurb, not the content of the article itself. Lighten the hell up.
Same way the ISPs prevented wireless braodband for everyone:
Declare it unconstitutional for the government to compete. The ISPs case would provide precidence. At that point, all they have to do to keep it from being around is to not produce it themselves, and I can gurantee you, that won't be too difficult.
Actually, I have lived in several places where trash pickup was not tax based, and was privately owned. These locations were in the US, and not some other country, before someone makes that counter argument.
I immediately pictured a guy walking around with a gaping hole in his torso, with all of his internal organs dangling about, dragging along, behind him, etc.
people who wanted to make power a profitable market would have prevented wireless early on because they couldn't control it, and it might lead to government producing it as a tax-based service (much like many places have trash pickup "free" because it is payed for by taxes).
Very recently, cities tried to do wireless free, lots of ISPs complained, and stopped them.
At this point, if I were a power company, I drop the resistance to wireless power tech at this point - it's really the same concept as wireless networking - a service is being provided that is hard to control, and therefor would fall into the hands of the government, since others have "prooven" this unconstitutional, they can then keep the government from interfearing with our busines.
The wireless internet thing pretty much opened the gates for this. Do you think after 100 years time, this is anything resembling coincidence in how close these events have happened?
They have the choke hold, the saw that they could keep wireless networking from becoming free in cities, saying it's unconstitutional or some BS like that, so now they realize "Hey, we can do that with power too!"
Actually, the ironic thing is, if this is using Tesla's principles, it's extremely efficient. Maybe not as much as copper wire, but still rather higher than would be expected.
Now I know you haven't seen the rats nest behind my desk, but 3 computers (only one a notebook), a PS2, monitor, KVM, Hub, printer, associated power strips, Nintendo DS plug and MP3 player plug... I assure you, I would not just use this for my laptop and MP3 player. I have way too many wires, and if I could remove a dozen or so of them, it'd help a lot. Add wireless networking to the mix, and wireless speakers, and it just might be manageable again... And yes, I know both of those already exist.

heh, GooTube, makes me think of a manufacturer of toothpaste, or K-Y Jelly
replace "x" with your hard drive's device
/dev/zero > /dev/x /dev/random > /dev/x
I like to run this (10 times) for a quite secure erase:
cat

I'd put it in 10 times, but, slashdot complains
Are you hinting at the existence of the not-so-elusive bigfoot-like creature, MicroSCOft?

Some people just don't like sifting through crap.

Words meanings are in how they are used. This is simply a logical progression of the meaning of the word.
People tried to stop such changes with laten.
Look how many people speak latin as a first language now.
I never said Warden wasn't, I was actually arguing it was, but that task manager was not.

sorry, gonna trust Merram Webster more than some self-proclaimed arrogant prick...

Oh, for some reason I remembered 85-90% efficiency. I just assumed wire would be at least 95%, not remember what wire actually was.
Then again, wire is based on distance and diameter... So you probably can't give it a global qualifier.
oh, you can bet they are against it now, but trying to fight it is easier said than done.

An I the only one?
huh?
I am saying this is why they aren't resisting it now, they companies providing the services know they can keep control of it.

lol.
Rats are awsome critters, very friendly and social. I finally got them to stop gnawing on my feet. I even still have three toes left!

I suspect so, the list is 14 titles, and they said there were going to be 13 on release...
aside from some stuff that latches on to the kernel (antivirus and drivers mostly), I've found windows to have very good backwards compatability...
Forward compatability (windows using software written for later versions), unsurprisingly, sucks.
