In large cities I agree that what you say has been happening. But there have been successes in smaller communities and that is where this may thrive. Look at Ripton, VT. as an example - it is a success.
This could be a wonderful opportunity for loca governments to provide a service to the community at little to no increase over any existing cost. Using open source hardware & software there could be a whole network of intra-town communications systems. I'd certainly donate my time and some equipment to get this going.
Smart businesses (and government agencies - I know, *that* is an oxymoron) will turn TO Open Source as a way to reduce costs. Consequently, people with Open Source experience will become MORE valuable. I'm living proof as my employer just agreed to make the shift away from MicroSoft in favor of FOSS alternatives.
Really. Why 6 cores? Or 4 or 2 for that matter?
Doesn't that just validate the Ever Increasing Bloat (TM) of software.
I'm not being a smart a$$. I don't understand these incremental increases for software that only marginally changes...except in size.
Why would you have critical systems like that directly connected to the 'Net anyways?
Because a project manager, working under pressure from his/her boss says "Get it done" and the poor shmoe tasked with installing it doesn't probably know what a firewall is. He is simply following the instruction manual.
So many bosses turn a blind eye to this stuff you end up with serious vulnerabilities. I've seen them.
Presumably those living in these countries will appreciate having the ability to download pictures and stories of food even though they can't afford the real thing!
This is wonderful news.
Couple it with the news about the recently discovered oil fields in Brazil (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601086&sid=aBUoYKhu7PWk) and I can see some major economic shifts taking place!
Hey,
I live in this Bozo's district and have a theory about why he may be offering this bill:
Do a Google for "Maryland Delegate Robert McKee" - a friend of Myers. McKee is under investigation on a child porn charge recently resigned his seat.
Perhaps Myers is helping to establish an alibi?
BTW, Maryland just instituted a new tax on IT Services which may or may not get repealed before it takes effect this summer!

Get over it loser. The system worked properly.

What I will never understand is how the MD legislators so cavalierly (SP?) dismissed Avi Rubin's work on this issuse at Johns Hopkins!
welcome the return or our hanging-chad overlords.

"Because it's the fucking decent fucking thing to do, that's why!
GAWD! If I ever wished there was a way to stab someone in the face over the internet, now is the time. I hope you die from something painful."
Wow, what a [fucking decent fucking thing] to say. I'm sure I'll have a "happy place" to live in your Gulag!
Yeah! 10-20 hours. That's almost as good as my Radio Shack Model 100 - still going strong after 23 years.
You mean 'ror'
But I've got users who are upset they *aren't* getting a dual-core "because I need it". Doesn't matter that they are working on Access databases!

Because it can be!
How would this NOT further drag down the speed of the Internet? And wouldn't kiddie pron collectors love this technology?

Uhhh.. what about chimps (Ham?), dogs (Laika), *people*(all dem astro and cosmonauts)... Those aren't animals?
Whaddya mean no wireless?!?! I soldered a Bluetooth BLueSmirf module to my M100's UART and tada...wireless! So there!
John Cleese as Gort? Why not include the Spanish Inquisition?
Bravo!
