You've obviously never worked with MS in a corporate environment. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all easily done with tools MS provide for corporate deployment. You have a tier1 image with all of your drivers/default apps/etc. You then package all of your less used apps and administer them via group policy.
If you know what you're doing you can use mono + monodevelop. THere are howto's out there, and they're getting close to having a "1 click install" like arduino is.
You have to remember the big difference between the USA (where policies like this tend to NOT work out) and the rest of the world (where socialized medicine, shared infrastrcuture, etc tend to work):
The rest of the world is not filled with Americans.
1. NBN is not a government department. I really wish people would understand how the NBN is structured, it really is very important. It will not be run by dept of innovation or any other department.
2. Government departments rely on legislation as a backing and don't make unilateral decisions. It more works the opposite of how you describe. If there is legislation stating that they MAY do something, then they might or might not. If there's no legislation stating that they may then they won't.
An easy example is the immigration department. The law states that the minister MAY grant citizenship if you fall into X/Y/Z categories. Based on this legislation: -if you fall into X/Y/Z immigration department might or might not grant you citizenship -if you do not fall into X/Y/Z categories, the immigration department WILL NOT grant you citizenship. They are not empowered to even though there's nothing in legislation stating they can't.
-using IPTables requires root -apache does NOT do this. Apache starts as root and then forks off after opening the port. It was a rhetorical question, though, as a part of apache runs as "administrator" (root) and from jedidiah's post that makes Linux not included in "grown up" OS.
You're 100% right, the last I looked at esri was almost exactly 3 years ago. At the time we moved away because our local ESRI prof svcs guy essentially told us web apis/soap/etc were not in the pipeline.
Have you ever tried to you ESRI mapping APIs though? A few THOUSAND poorly documented COM+ components (and 1:1 wrappers if you want to use dotnet) does not an API make.
Do you seriously not understand the difference between a software license and a license to use radio spectrum? Buying a completely GPL'd car (hardware and software open sourced/specced) would not mean that you don't need a "driver's license" to drive on public roads since there can't be "Licensing fee" for GPL software...
Well, if you had "modules" derived from open source then there's bigger problems than microsoft auditing you if your entire product wasn't open source.
MS was right to do so, and you should have done so long before.
What should he have called it? You should identify wines by grape variety and region (which is really shorthand for weather and soil type). Anything else is just marketing.
-none of the 3 consoles support it -NO windows software supports it -only about 2/3 of osx software supports it -almost no linux software supports it
So while nat-pmp exists, it's very neat but essentially worthless unless I want to use the 3 bittorrent apps for osx that use it because NOTHING else does.
You mean the android that is aimed at phone manufacturers, not you? Whereby you likely cannot upgrade to the latest version, may not even be able to access the app store if your carrier locks it out (optus!!), and have to do a convoluted "root" proceedure which is different for every phone (and doesn't exist yet for some phones!) in order to have more access to the OS than you have on an iphone?
I honestly see no difference except that you have more choice over your form factor (a good thing) and that you can write apps in java instead of objc (another good thing)... not that you'll be able to INSTALL those apps if your carrier or phone manufacturer doesn't want you to.
There is not a form for "report a crime" due to privacy and security environment issues. There are forms for gun licenses/security checks/police misconduct/etc.
But they're not a patent troll. They: -developed technology to fix an (at the time) unfixable problem using scientific research they'd be doing in signal analysis (funny enough related to astronomy!) for decades -signed agreements with everyone stating that royalties would be owed -asked for those agreements to be honored -got "the bird" from the companies implementing the technologies -asked for those agreements to be honored -got "the bird" from the companies implementing the technologies -asked for those agreements to be honored -got "the bird" from the companies implementing the technologies -asked for those agreements to be honored -got "the bird" from the companies implementing the technologies -sued
In what way is that patent trolling?
From the link you posted: "an entity that does not have the capabilities to design, manufacture, or distribute products that have features protected by the patent"
This isn't about a memory dump, this is about booting the phone while it's connected, and the firmware recovery bit will give a requesting computer the complete DECRYPTED file system. This is without having to enter in a pin.
Seperate the slashdot FUD from what the FSF is actually saying.
The FSF is not in any way threatening legal action, nor making demands. They've simply said, "This app isn't redistributable by your store due to licensing problems. What can we work on to make it so that isn't the case?" to apple.
Any lawsuit about copyright would be filed against the author for obvious reasons (the app store terms of service imdemnify apple against these sort of things and put the "check your license conditions" issues onto the shoulders of the author).

So any more problems?
Dotnet micro is under the apache 2.0 license.
Fully open source under a certified license.
What are you complaining about?
They're using amazon payments. If you don't trust amazon with your credit card then why have a credit card?

Their smallest plan is 2GB for $9.95 (if you have other telstra stuff to bundle) a month and shaping (no overage charges ever)
I'm an internode fanboy, but you are thinking about Telstra under Sol ($$$$$$$$$$ FOR ME!!!!), not Telstra of today (best network but higher prices).

So how does apache open port 80 then?

If you're taking MARTA then the book you're reading can also make a handy shield in a knife fight!
He means HSPA/3G 850 and 900 support, not GSM 850/900 support. Both the iphone 3g and 3gs supported 850 and 900 on GSM.
-none of the 3 consoles support it
-NO windows software supports it

No UPNP, not for me. Otherwise it is perfect.
It does not in linux. You need nvidia for that (like the 320M in the mini).

Nvidia's wildly successful VDPAU implements VaAPI, as does:
-S3
-intel GMA500
-radeon UVD2

The issue occurs on 3gs devices though.
