And I'm licking my lips in anticipation of the future Nokia Qt phones. The reason why I haven't got a Nokia smartphone is Symbian. Yes, they work good, have great specs, Nokia even gives away a development environment for them. But it's not Linux.
How about a Nokia Maemo (http://maemo.org/) phone, the OS that is used on their N800/N810 Internet Tablets?
... I'll skip the first two... sign me up when the N2O offering walks up to the plate. The technology is totally worth jack-shit, but you don't seem to give a damn, and it's really funny...
... they got wind that congress has $700 billion to piss away, and of course they launched all the Spam of Mass Destruction scams that they could think of at members of Congress.
"Dear Sir, you are esteemed Member of Congress. You want bigger member?"
This has "clogged the email arteries" of the US government.
"If you just can send a small advance of $700 billion, or a blank check, for administrative costs, then we will be able to unclog the arteries forthwith."
The news agencies were hoping to be writing sensational, tantalizing stories about the latest LHC results. Now, they forced to revert to tangential/side stories.
Next week we will get, "Meet the folks behind the LHC" and "What is liquid helium anyway, and how can I make it at home to amuse the kids."
They also point out that no other superfluid helium handling facility has mysteriously blown itself to pieces.
... then the financial crisis would be solved. Or, at least that was what some Talking Head said on TV. The financial crisis will be over when it snows in Hell.
Why didn't the damn bastard say "snows on Mars" instead, it could have saved $700 billion!
If components are interchangeable, they can be mass produced, and the price of them would fall.
If you can buy cheap, interchangeable components, and build your own, fat profit margins for laptops for Dell, Lenovo, Apple, etc. would disappear.
Buy building their own, non-modular laptops, they can sell products that differentiate their features from other companies: lighted keyboards, extremely thin, whatever.
Carly Fiorina's ego. It's so big that it was necessary to support all of her ego's operations. If it grows any more, the IPv6 address space will be screwed as well.
... can we beam that thing on the U.S. Congress? It would certainly streamline things... after we weed out the pre-criminals, there would only be about a couple of dozen members of the House of Representatives... and maybe eight Senators...

And, yes it IS Linux.
... and keep sticking a weed up The Man's ass!
I think we should try to stop CO2 from being produced in the first place.
Now, if all those folks in Washington, DC would just stop talking and hold their breath ... until I say, "Stop" ...

So far.

Ah, just give it good ol' emergency repair plan "A." If that doesn't work, send up Richard Dean Andersen with some duct tape.
Believe me, this is not a singularity in the maintenance universe that I am familiar with.
The best is the opening pitch that the customer gives:
"Yes, this is a typical legacy code, blah, blah, blah."
"Um, but we don't have the source."
Look on the bright side, we'll get a bailout in a couple of years
Yee-Haw!
This was about 10+ years ago.
The guy was from the IBM Zurich Lab, and was pushing to get it implemented in the AIX kernel.
It's probably patented, but IBM does allow a bunch of patents to be used for Linux. Or maybe he lost his funding and his project died.
If I'm bored tonight, I'll try to google it out.

. . . so I guess I won't have to stay up on election night waiting for the results . . .
That site will have them a week in advance . . . yoo-hoo!
No, don't follow them. Electronic Voting is an inherently flawed idea, let's just stick to pen&paper voting.
Raise your hand: right hand, McCain; left hand, Obama
Google 's brilliant programmers have a flawless (albeit, beta) system that can correctly tally the votes.
Probably.
I mean, it's not like they have a financial crisis that they should be spending their time on.

Its Pyramid Power, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_power, increases gas mileage.
Although Pyramid Power got busted for razor blades and apples, they haven't tried it yet for increasing gas mileage.
If it doesn't work, it will make a cool fort for the kids to play in.
Maybe build a mini Stonehenge in your backyard, and get a Druid to bless your car?
Now if he gets a gray suit, and puts a beak on his helmet, he could be an excellent Rodan.
Hell, buzz that sucker over Tokyo!
Keep an eye out for tanks will electric ray guns.
How convenient!
If you are pissing away $700 billion, a company like Transmeta costs chump-change.
Why the hell not?
. . . I must have missed that ad campaign: "Kentucky Bourbon: Now fortified with genuine crack, PCP and LSD"
