Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

To be fair it was a live feed and the suicide part was unexpected. They probably should have had a 5 second delay on the video feed.

Most of the video is explaining the "reasoning" behind his murder. Fox News did not need to show the part where the terrorists try to excuse their actions. As far as I'm concerened this is a recruiting video and fox news give them free webhosting for it.

They published a terrorist recruitment video on their website. In my books that makes them part of the terrorist group.

You're doing it wrong. I never had any perfomance issues when I used to use Atom netbooks. You need to tweak the OS a bit to get usable performance. Oh and Windows 8 is alot faster than 7, so it's better to install that and add classic start to get the start menu back as well as disable the completely unneccesary visual affects. Windows XP perforrms good on netbooks, probably better than anything else, but due to security issues that is no longer an option. Not everyone can affor modern hardware, especially in poorer countries, but people want to be able to run a modern OS. The best option to get the balance is to have sofware that is efficient and cant take advantage of different hardware types.

My PI 1 is nice as a mini server. I have with apache/mysql etc running good for collecting data from PLC. However, I have never been happy with the GUI's on offer. Maybe Windows will offer a semi-decent GUI as opposed to the half-baked Linux GUIs that are capable of running on a PI.

Sites like this are often infiltrated by CIA to monitor peoples thoughts and track users.

I used to think that. Yes VB6 was very simple to use, but VB.net is alot more powerful. It's also much easier to depoly your applications. I remember in VB6 having to write a whole bunch of code to automatically update my application. VB2010 is fine.

No, it's just slow and bloated now and takes fro every to start in comparison to chrome

While I don't doubt the intentions of Bill and others who want to try and people alive, sadly this is natures way of making sure the world doesn't get overcrowded. It's a sad fact but people NEED to die.

Nonsense. Microsoft were the ones who brought desktop computing into the mainstream. Their "status quo" gave users an interface that they were famililar and comfortable with. Only when they started changing things around did it get bad. What are the alternatives? A company like Apple that is even more evil? Amateur Linux source applications which are lacking in quality? Let's face it LibreOffice is poorly coded, badly designed and alot slower than Microsoft Office. Most Linux apps have poor interfaces and very little in the way of quality assurance.

Investing. He'll probably make it back.

Actually many people who install "Classic Shell" on Windows 8 prefer it to Windows 7 because Windows 8 is alot faster, more stable and has quicker boot times. People who complain about Metro are just too dumb to install classic shell.

Retard isn't a very nice word. I hope you never have children with disabilities.

'Murica

The reason why alot of people have money is that they don't waste it on crap like overrated Apple hardware.
