Counterexample: My employer has deployed a heavy-handed security environment on all Windows workstations along with an antique version of IE. Chrome consistently crashes and hangs to the point that it's unusable. Firefox runs like a champ and has become my browser of choice at work.
Anyone can find a single sample to prove anything.
Eisenhower said essentially the same thing in 1953: "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.This world in arms in not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."
What he was doing (rightly or wrongly) was paraphrasing the old saying "When you owe the bank a thousand dollars, you have a problem, but when you owe the bank a million dollars, the bank has a problem."
The mainstream D-Link and Linksys routers that Joe Public buys do not support static IPs for the DHCP servers. You get to pick a range of dynamic addresses, that's all.
So unless the OP is running something non-standard, like DD-WRT, this is probably not an option.
The screen resolution of the HTC device is only QVGA: 320 x 240. The iPhone is 320 x 480 (half VGA). This is a major difference in usability.
After trying to switch from a Palm TX (320 x 480) to a Windows Mobile QVGA PDA, one thing that stopped me was the beautiful screen on the Palm vs. the QVGA on the WM5 device.
You've got it exactly backwards. If you're going to make a million of something, you want the bill of materials cost to be as low as possible, whereas you aren't as worried about the non-recurring engineering. That's why Linux, with it's larger memory footprint, but lower development cost, is often non-competitive.
Look at the latest Linksys WRT54 router. They've abandoned Linux and gone to VxWorks, despite the huge up-front cost for WindRiver tools, but they can use half the memory chips. This is a big win on a large production run.
On a limited production item, you often can't afford commercial tools, because it will make the selling price of your product non-competitive. Just the price of one copy of the VxWorks tools will probably add about $20 to the BOM cost on a production run of 1,000.
"...the people can always be brought to do the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in every country."

Have you ever tried it? I damn near fried my retinas when it went off.

Privacy is what protects you from abuse by people in positions of power.

How does killing people who kill other people teach others that killing people is wrong?
You have to give the original reference for that!

It's not you. I get no answers either (Firefox 2.0.0.12) but they're all there when I switch to IE7.
No it's _not_ trivial, really.

And if you think you're humble, that's the first sign that you're not.
There was a divergence of philosophies. NASCAR (on ovals anyway) is *nothing but* left turns.
Because privacy protects you from abuse by people in positions of power. Pure and simple.

Hell, I thought it was about how to make nice looking letters in a 5x7 or 8x12 matrix for small LCDs.
Don't forget to capitalize the nouns: DasBootkampfurWindowsundMacosxgeloaden.
Someone should tell them we haven't used optical bomb sights for years. It's all laser guided now.

That's the problem. The supply of intelligence in the world is finite, so as the world's population grows, the average person gets more stupid.
I've been there and done that. Do yourself a favour and toss the Blackberry in the garbage. Your wife needs your full attention right now.
Time is your enemy. Focus on what really matters.
Sorry to rant. Good luck on your journey.
It was Goering, wasn't it?

So what colour of propaganda was Bin Laden's speech? Was it white (truth), black (lies) or grey (you don't know)?
If you've got Emacs in the BIOS, then you don't need Linux, do you?
