I use Opera all the time, but it has issues printing a lot of stuff. Of course it always had is issues rendering many pages too. The UI is the reason I use it though. It is far and away better than the rest.
Most over-the-air television will be a think of the past. The external receivers / and servers for online viewing will measure this and Nielsen will be out of a job.
I've read (and saw once) that the Netbooks with Atom processors have issues with having enough processing power to handle HD video. (though basical video played fine) Whats the point of the HDMI video out if it has issues with HD video?
Last place I worked, we used the user portion of the email a dash then the desktop inventory id. ie, bsmith-E23952
You knew who was using it without looking it up, and you could look everything else up about it with the inventory id. (cpu, memory, location, warranty, etc)
It should be illegal to attempt to impair someones rights to protect themselves in a EULA or any other form of contract. Puting that in there is equal to say, we have the right to screw you and you have to accept it.
This is what happens when a company attempts to strong-arm it's customers. Are you to young to remember how and where the Microsoft hate started? Apple is the new Microsft in many ways.
You pay $2.6 billion for a company and you leave the rug under you so it can be yanked out by the person you paid the $2.6 billion too effectively killing your business? What dumbass agreed to that?!?!
Strong passwords are are useless and only cause users problems? That is absolutely stupid. First off, strong passwords have nothing to do with phishing schemes, they are about brute force / guessing passwords. Just like a seat belt (a safety device) on a car isn't meant to protect you against car fires. Protecting you from car fires is done in a completely different way.
Strong passwords have a purpose and that purpose hasn't changed and is extremely valuable in protecting you accounts.
Phishing != brute force attack. Stop scare mongering.
We were just discussing VAX at work. I personally never got to work on one, but a guy I work with grew up learning on them. He said only guys his age really knew much about VAX and I said he was wrong as several guys I grew up with worked at banks that used them.
Mainfames are like Cobol, they aren't going away until the systems that use them die.
Apple spends a lot of money implementing their design philosophies. Lets face it. It's not cheap to design user friendly high quality UI. Most companies that build open source products aren't serving the Desktop; they're serving the server market. The few that actually are (Ubuntu) are taking Linux and the open source desktop to a higher level.
I am very thankful for Mark Shuttleworth and what he is doing for the Linux Desktop. Everyone knows Redhat flip-flops on the Desktop subject all the time and never actually get much done for it.
If your monitoring something of that scale, you should probably look into a profession solution.
I use Zenoss (open source) and like it quite a bit. It takes time to customize for your setup, but unless you have a bland network, that is almost always the case. I will say this, it's much easier to setup the Nagios was a couple of years ago when I was using Nagios. Though I've heard there has been some improvement.
Go into management. If you still enjoy the tech side, you can always keep up with it. On the other hand, at some point the younger guys learn faster and will be cheaper to employ for those jobs. At some point in the future it can and probably will affect your employment!
Odd thing is, I haven't gotten a single Safari hit in the last seven days. Usually it's higher than Opera and sometimes higher than Chrome. Though Chrome appears to be picking up steam of late.
Think of a problem that you would be interested in solving. (this is how most open source projects start) Once you've got an idea, look to see if a project exist. If you find one (or a few) see which one interest you the most and make contant with the project and see if you can offer help. Being inexperienced can be a road-block, but you have to keep at it. If you don't find a project you like or are unable to help out, start your own! Head on over to SourceForge and create a project!

Cause, I want my son to ask me for a Wave Motion Gun! :)
How can any new smart phones not come with Wifi?

All they did was trick themselves into consumer hate and bankruptcy.
Dolts die and FairPort is a dolt.

Go FCC, snuff out Comcast.

Why recreate the wheel if using paint on cave walls has always worked in the past? :)
Anyone who responds to spam should be executed. Send them on the express train to Huntsville Texas and they should not pass go or collect $200.

Woohoo party! Wait, ...has Mono's Moonlight even caught up with Silverlight 2.0 yet? ..Nope.
Hey Spain, you're about to get new residents. The RIAA is moving in!
Cablevision already does this in the Northeast US. :(

Does this mean I can have five different Flash players hijacking my CPUs at once?

What? Mono is no long in question about infringing on Microsoft licensing anymore? Bah, Then I'm not using Mono anymore then! :P
