OK, I think we may be having a semantical issue here. The Legend can't use DGPS directly, but can output GARMIN DGPS protocol which can then be used as a DGPS service point. In conjunction with the appropriate software, one could place one Legend at a known geographical point, USGS marker for example, and use another, again with appropriate software, to get the accuracy offered by DGPS.
There are a lot of schlock outfits, out there, that are putting together very poor Linux solutions. The poor client gets burned, and runs back to what they know works for them. A well built Windows solution will beat a poorly built Linux solution.
1) Plenty of students had DEC's, IBM's, etc. Why was so much done on Sun's? May I sugggest tha Sun was a much more open system?
2) Sunsite's were never run by Sun, but if I am not mistaken, the machines and the bandwidth were contributed by Sun.
3) TCL is a tool used by many FOSS developers.
4) I am no big fan of Java, but regardless, it is open and used by many FOSS projects.
5) The concept tends to be the hardest part.
6) See #5
I never said Sun was a savior of FOSS, but I did want to point out that Sun has made substantial contributions to FOSS, as we know it. If a commercial interest's contributions are not recognized, they will have little incentive to continue. When integrated over time, IMHO, Sun has made the greatest contributions to FOSS, to date, from a large commercial entity.
As for the heritage of various OS's, the child tends to learn from the mistakes of the parent, and end up a significantly different creature. As for UNIX, although early incarnations were great distant from MULTICS, later versions actually came much closer. For example, System V/MLS, borrowed many more concepts from Multics then prior versions.
Contrary to popular belief, Sun has done more for FOSS than any other company out there. Integrated over time, Sun's overall contribution has been unmatched. Let's look at a few key points:
1) Sun workstations were the primary development environment for FOSS from about 1987 till the early 1990's.
2) How many copies of Linux and related software were dowdloaded from a "sunsite"?
3) TCL came from where?
4) Java came from where?
5) NFS, as we know it, came from where?
6) RPC's, as we know them, came from where?
I'm sure I could find many more, if I went digging.
Sun has been a less then perfect partner in FOSS, but they have been there longer than anyone else, and have made many significant contributions.
I truly hope, and expect, this trend to continue. No commercial partner of FOSS will be perfect, but Sun's record, to date, is really quite good.
The first mainframe versions of Unix(R) were run on top of a modified version of CTSS. Also CTSS is considered the father of Multics which in turn begat Unix.
But when this movie first came out, it as the pinnacle of geekdom. CGI generated on a Cray. Just remember, that the fastest supercomputer of that era is easily out performed by a current desktop. A machine that executed several million instructions per second was considered to be mind numbingly fast.
Scary how fast it has become woefully outdated. Sadly, it was one of the last films that Robert Preston performed in.
That profession's that have been traditionally supporters of the Democrats have been slaughtered, while the professions that have been Republican have prospered?
Obviously, since some are doing very well, the failure of the other must be their own fault.
1) Ebola research 2) Cost effective replacements for crash test dummies. 3) Cost effective replacements for animals in cosmetic testing. 4) Cost effective replacement for ballistics gel.
How many times have Microsoft internet based services been down for extended periods? How many billions would such an outage cost, in worker productivity, if office was provided a a web service? The implications are downright scary.
IMHO, no other group of professionals in our society have done more to protect the American ideal of life. If you don't already, talk to your locla librarian. You will find them to be one of the most remarkable resources in your life.
Well, somewhere in that neighborhood, I seem to remember that such a feat would have been possible with a Gemini capsule and a Titan 3M booster. The project was canned, along with the MOL and DynaSoar for reasons I will leave to the reader.
I really hate to say this, but you're dead wrong. It would be trivial to write a small daemon which would snoop your console ttys and take a dump of your X-windows session on a regular basis. Name it something innocuous like httppd, and chances are the user would never notice.

Seems to sum up the Microsoft business strategy rather well.

Small GPS's such as the Garmin eTrex Legend support DGPS, I don't see why this unit can't.

which offer IPV6 service?
You sem to have missed a few key categories:
1) IT worker
2) Union worker
3) Retired worker

Yup, nothing to see here, move along.

2) Cost effective replacements for crash test dummies.

I suspect the future will be fraught with Microsoft "innovations" in use of patent/copyright/trademark law.
It's the C4, that's connected to it, under the carpeting you need to worry about.

British school children must now pay lifetime royalties for the privilege of an education.
Pretty scary, but it does seem to be the direction in which we are going.
