2. It's a movie addon, not a game addon, so it doesn't matter at all to the overall xbox 360 strategy whether it succeeds or fails. Microsoft has said that they will not have hd-dvd games. Compare it to buying the dvd remote for a ps2 or an xbox 1 (or that whacky silver gamecube put out by some third party which also played dvds), don't compare it to the 32x. It simply allows you to watch hd-dvd movies, nothing more or less.
I can almost guarantee that if someone is paying for 6mbps ADSL, they are syncing to the DSLAM at 6mbps. Do they guarantee speed XYZ for ABC hops with ### latency? No, THAT would be an SLA.
I would argue you just described Austin, Texas, to a T. I believe the biggest reason is the large university, which creates diversity in the population.

The only thing that requires an active X control is some of the advanced LCS integration functionality (mouse over someone's name, it tells you their online status in LCS) and other things like that.
1. Sharepoint integrates with outlook 2003, so that you can email a sharepoint document from the sharepoint UI and it automatically gets "reference attached" to your outlook email. This is very handy as it opens from within sharepoint, so if they edit it it's updated automatically on the site.
2. "\\sharepointserver\sitename\document library name" will work unless your sharepoint server is misconfigured. They still let you use it as a network share.
The answer you're looking for, which has been given to you many times in this thread, is "What costs?"
Telecommuting to NYC offers you no protections nor services. Where would I go for unemployment if I get sacked after telecommuting to NYC? Whose ambulence will pick me up if I have a heart attack while on the job? What services of NYC am I consuming?
Try replacing the mini-pci wireless card on your laptop with another brand. 10 to 1 says your laptop won't boot unless your manufacturer also offers that exact card (same PCI-ID) with your same laptop model (or one sharing a bios).
The slot-ness is for the vendor, not for you. They typically lock down what cards you can put in there, and unless you're willing to hack your bios's list of ids...
Since you mention Spring, I'm guessing that you're writing web applications. If you're not, then you need to tell your manager to jump off a bridge, as he has no idea what he's talking about.
If you ARE writing web applications, then I would guess that moving to spring and hibernate from a completely from scratch c++ framework will result in much shorter development times. Serverside is where Java really shines in both performance and in ease of development.
libgcj doesn't use Sun components though, does it? It writes its OWN bytecode.
What they're saying is that you can't wrap the JDK with something else to make it appear it's not java, or change it to make it incompatible with certified java.
Read their FAQ and it makes it all quite a bit more clear.
"8. Does this license prevent me shipping any alternative technologies
in my OS distribution?
The DLJ does not restrict you from shipping any other technologies
you choose to include in your distribution. However, you can't use
pieces of the JDK configured in conjunction with any alternative
technologies to create hybrid implementations, or mingle the code
from the JDK with non-JDK components of any kind so that they run
together. "
libgcj is an alternative compiler. What they're prohibiting would be, for example, bundling libgcj with the bits and pieces of the REAL JDK which gcj doesn't yet implement, thus creating a "hybrid Java" of sorts.

If I want up to date packages on debian, my options are: 1. Roll my own (if I do this, why am I running debian?) 2. Run testing (minus security updates....) 3. Add in backports (oh the humanity)

Add to this the fact that as of 6.06 ubuntu has seperatly tuned desktop and server kernels and you can see how ubuntu is shaping up.
Your quote: "Users in demanding fields such as biosciences or meteorology do hack OS kernels to slim them down, alter the balance between throughput and computing, and to open them to the resources of a massive grid."
"OS kernels." No mention of OSX in that quote, and for good reason; it's a red herring.
Do you honestly think there is a SINGLE OSX PPC user who has downloaded the darwin kernel sources, changed them, recompiled them, and are now running OSX on a custom darwin kernel?
I would bet you could count the number of people on one hand, if not on zero hands.
The system provides the largest loans to students of the least risk, as they should. The reason there is a federal loan program is because it is investing in the country's future. Many freshmen don't go on to finish school. By the time you're a Junior, it's likely you're going to finish unless you run into financial difficulty...
The original statement was that if you watched a blu-ray movie (a big draw of the PS3), you're limited to 480p output unless you use an encrypted digital output (HDMI).
Sony about 6 weeks ago said that they would NOT enable that flag on their first run of blu-ray movies, and now we know why... but that doesn't mean that NON sony movies will not have that flag, and it also doesn't mean that sony won't switch it on later.
Basically by getting a non HDMI blu-ray player, you are limiting your ability to play blu-ray discs at HD resolution.
"Yes, it's MSFT's fault for illegally strong-arming itself into monopoly,"
They did nothing of the sort. No legal entity anywhere has issues with MS becoming either the monopoly for OS or for Office software. It's when they used that leverage to push into OTHER markets that it became illegal.
Probable cause and customs have nothing to do with eachother, and have never. Bags of anyone passing through customs can be searched without any reason at all. Typically if you declare nothing, they xray your bags, and if you declare something, they take a glance through to make sure you've not conveniently forgotten something.
I guess you've never traveled internationally? You basically have no rights (and this isn't a "bush change," it's always been like this) while you're between countries, which is legally where the customs checkpoint is.

I agree that a version 2 (or 3) will likely have it built in, but if it's not used for games, no one who bought a version 1 is screwed.

1. It's not rumored, it was offically announced long ago. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/news/events/e

The SWITCH is the gamble, not including the hardware on the PS3. They never took the PS1 "I/O controller" out of the PS2.
But how is it an inherant flaw when the alternative is having 5 nonredundant boxes?

You're in a pretty unique situation. My REALLY old thinkpad p3 500mhz doesn't have the 512 limitation. It's at least 7 years old (1999).

Two things you're missing:
1. Sharepoint integrates with outlook 2003, so that you can email a sharepoint document from the sharepoint UI and it automatically gets "reference attached" to your outlook email. This is very handy as it opens from within sharepoint, so if they edit it it's updated automatically on the site.
