If you've seen Pearl Harbour, you've seen a wonderful example of this. The Japanese Admiral, who's name escapes me, knows for a damn fact that sack-slapping America was a Bad Idea. But his giri, or duty, was to the Empire, and he did his level best to carry it out.
The analouges in French would be the formal 'vous' versus the informal 'tu', or in German, the formal 'Sie' versus the informal 'du.' Note that these don't come close to the level most of the Oriental languages do.
English really has no equivalent; think of it as speaking with a Texan drawl and dialect to somebody younger than yourself, but with a nasal Boston accent to somebody older than yourself. Different sentance structure, different vowel intonations, different words.
Nah. If it ran on Solaris x86, it could probably be made to run on Linux x86, and that wouldn't make for good press.

Yup. Also used on watch faces. The most expensive commercially available substance in the world. Last time I bothered checking, it was 10 grand American per gram. That was 10 or 15 years ago.
Perhaps if you'd accurately assesed your needs before you puchased a machine specifically for it's small size, you wouldn't be in such a bind.
Not trying to be a bitch, but if you're buying 1U machines, you're either doing it for the size, or for the fanboy factor.
But he's right. If a vast majority of people expect to be able to play CDs on their computers, that should become an operating system function. But a bundled player will never be able to do everything, and people who want more out of their CD players will get a better one.
This is like saying 'no motherboard should have sound and video built into it, because that will put Creative Labs and nVidia out of business. Nobody will buy a Live 5.1 or Geforce 3 if there's a ESS solo and ATI Rage Pro 2x built onto the mobo.' That is, of course, bullshit.
Install onto a CD the kernal, sound/video drivers, gamepad drivers. Then your choice of: MAME, snes9x, an MP3 player, whatever, and a bunch of appropriate data files. Then you carry it around, and wherever there may be a PS1, you're golden.
I believe the stats are that in any given election, 40 percent will vote democrat, 40 percent will vote republican. Therefore, you pander to the other 20 percent. And they tend not to vote for issues, they vote for who they like better. I believe it was Scott Adams who pointed out that generally the taller candidate wins, and where he doesn't, his opponent has better hair.
Especially when you have to install each and every sp + hotfix (7 or 8 so far) in the proper order.
This is no longer true. Microsoft has released a convenient utility called 'qfchain,' I believe, which allows you to run all your QFEs, run the utility, then reboot once.
If an eHolster isn't good enough for you, go to a military surplus store, get a vest with lots of pockes, and depending on local climate, either wear it, or reverse it and sew it to the inside of your favourite jacket.
If you can come up with five thousand examples of hardware that 'just works' under Linux, it's not going to make up for the one example that a user comes up with from his own configuration.
It has problems, as the machines hidden behind the global address can't be addressed, and as a result of this, opening connections to them -- which are used in online gaming, peer-to-peer networking, etc. -- is not possible.
Misleading, if not outright wrong. Portforwarding? Proxying?
I'm afraid not. There are several players out now that will not play region-free discs, and there are several discs that will not play on region free players.

A IR reciever in one end, a 9 pin serial port in the other, easily buildable if you've got a soldering iron and can read circuit diagrams.
Look for the winamp plugin, the Remote Selector program that ties into popular DVD software, and UIRD for UNIX, which is, I believe, mostly written in PERL.
The good thing about SQL, as you point out, is that it's a common language that can be applied to any database.
The bad thing about SQL is that, as you point out, it's a common languate that can be applied to any database, and therefore, as soon as your database wants to do anything that SQL doesn't already cover, you need to start creating extentions, and suddenly it's no longer cross-product.
Given the fact that I count three spelling mistakes in the title and first paragraph of your post, let alone the rest, perhaps these tests are not such a bad idea....

Haven't you ever wondered why pretty much every near-future cyberpunk type setting has some concept of 'corporate extractions?'

Lets see. Defrag is by Intel, or Diskeeper. Terminal is by Hilgrave or whoever. There are examples of just that happening.

And what if I decided that your post was stilted, and needed work, so I 'dubbed' it, and passed it off as yours?
Did at any point in time, anything associated with the crime possibly cross a state line? Yes? FBI.
Anybody who cared would watch it subtitled anyway. Dubbing is an atrocity, a crime against nature, not to mention filmmaker's intent.

Bloody 'ell, at that point, get an IDE RAID card, say from Promise, two identical drives, and do disk mirroring.
A story about some company saying that Linux is more secure that NT right above a story about sourceforge.net being compromised.

You're looking for a Toshiba Libretto or one of the Sony Vaio sub-notebooks.
