Requirements for licensing Windows RT could have also stipulated certain hardware minimums. I know that MS did something similar with netbooks, where they stipulates hardware maximums. I believe the major difference is that Microsoft has en

I've not seen the major complaint yet in any of the HN articles. Microsoft has traditionally made software, and rebranded things like mice and small peripherals. They only 'recently' got into the xbox, but that was different for it was a ga

This is useful how? This is no better than a read-only image, with right click 'disabled'. It does look pretty. I'll just head to thingiverse or clones. Those sites let you <gasp> download the models.

Perhaps you're right. There are some topics best left for others to 'discuss'. For example, common topics like Nazis, Jews, Islam, abortion, inferior women, blacks. However, these were not topics I had in mind for ethics or such. We deal wi

Trolling is a mixture of things. 1 part 'crosspost alt.os.linux and alt.os.windows with a "Mac is superior" post' 1 part 'I destroy your life for the fun of it' 1 part 'I make the people who do despicable things suffer as much as I

Why not discuss topics of ethics like "women are inferior"? If these conclusions are oh so horribly wrong, then bringing them out 'in the sun' should make them self evident they are not true. And beyond that, people who make claims such as

No. Instead, each state needs to file trespass charges for every farmer who didn't buy seed and had their field cross polinatee. Then you count how many seeds. There's a trespass charge for each and every one of them. After all, their seeds

No need to have a hostile tone here. We have a guy from MS here. I'm sure he doesn't make policy decisions, like what ends up on the SEC report. Do note, that the SEC report the last I checked, included the biggest competitors as Linux and

I think my most successful 'troll' was a response to an Opera update post. My response was serious, as well as a 'troll'. It wasn't the most appropriate. http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=52837&cid=5227877 Yes: 382 responses. Suc

1. Do you guys focus mainly on iDevices? What's your take on the UI of Android? 2. Have you had any exposure to copyright infringement? If so, was it for the positive or negative? Thank you both for showing up here.

So.. Now the Japanese find willing VPN providers in Russia and/or China? Nobody can trust their own government these days. Especially if said laws concern copyright laws.

Hmm. So the way I read this: We have an old drug that helps diabetes to treat cancer.. The drug costs $.05/pill, for diabetes. It will be called "Nocan", and feature a $24/pill cost, due to a new patent being granted. * *Just like Eli Lilly

Umm, no. The very first bittorrent torrent was a 100 MB pirated porn video. I still have it. The client was a .py script. And it was hardcoded with said video.

Well, that's the problem with living in a democracy. If most people only feel comfortable when the legislators and judges are fellow Christians and the schools teach creationism, then that's what you're going to get, and depending o

The big detection of 'bullshit' was at the end of the article, in 2 places. 1. " As to all the rest, I cannot but conclude that they are nothing but legal euthanasia, and should be opposed by anyone who identifies themselves as pro-life." P

I believe I can answer that. Christian fundamentalists wish to take control of the US society, as well as government. We only have to look towards a religious-economic theory called Dominionism. Dominionists wish for religious (of their bra

Hint: government money can come with strings attached. Also, public schools are written with public assistance (local, state, national) as part of the core fund. All it takes are a dedicated group of politicians to give a collective shit.
