Teradata and the other big relational db products (vertical, greenplum, etc) are all _analytical_ databases, designed for small amounts of complex queries, where adding new data to the system takes minutes if not hours. They are completely unsuitable for running a live application against.
I guess you missed the 9000 posts where chromactic replies to any perl6 thread with the logic that "we have monthly builds, therefore perl6 is out and you _can_ program in it."
Blu-ray titles take 10 spots on the Amazon DVD bestsellers list atm, including the top four. There are _no_ HD DVD titles in the top 25. The bestselling HD DVD title is #35. (Behind 4 more blu-ray titles on the way.)

Huh? Sony's games division turned a phenomenal profit for several years before the ps3 started draining huge amounts of money. That profit is mostly ps2, with some psp thrown in.
I tested my usual tab load under (newly opened) FF and Safari; safari took about 40% more memory and was a bit of a CPU hog too.
No difference in rendering speed was perceptible. (Understandably so; render speed is unlikely to be the bottleneck on modern machines, for non-pathological pages.)
I've had some ideas for smartphone apps that I'd like to write, but J2ME sucks too much. Laszlo, otoh, is pretty cool: maybe my apps will get written when this comes out.
Google didn't catch up to "the big guy." Google caught up to first-movers in a very young market -- who were not even doing search (Yahoo) or who put search on the back burner (Digital) -- with half a dozen servers.
Today the big guys have 500,000 servers. Even if you are somehow an order of magnitude more efficient, and another order of magnitude smaller while you're starting out, that's still 5k servers -- $5M at least, plus an ops team to run them.

No idea where you got that particular piece of misinformation. :)

FreeBSD jails predate Solaris zones by five years.

the mind boggles.

That's too bad. My only experience is with the Acer Aspire One, which comes with a Fedora 8 variant installed and has none of those problems.
"If it proves feasible"
In other words, yes, it is very much a toy for now.

I know hating on Sony is de rigeur here. Sorry.

PS2 made Sony a _lot_ of money.
"Suck it, IBM"
fortunately newer languages solve this with labeled loops and break and continue ; no goto needed.

"From the videos they released it looks JUST LIKE SC1 at 1600x1200."
Either you didn't watch the videos very carefully or you never really played SC1. Or both.
"Rockstar hasn't announced which version of the PS3 (20GB/60) or 360 (Elite/Premium/Core) it will recommend for best performance."
"MyISAM is faster than InnoDB" is certainly the conventional wisdom. It's also wrong.
Somehow I doubt Sony Legal is going to let a ps1 emulator on the 360 slide.

Check your reading; I said two orders total to give the largest possible benefit of the doubt.

Good luck.

"I mean, sure the controls aren't integrated"
Do you actually drive a car? Integration is the *whole point*.
I'm pretty sure sports only actually *make* money at the college level. And maybe some high schools in Texas. :)
But didn't Dani do most of her influential work back when s/he was Daniel? That could be a technical disqualifier. :)
