You do not want the US to just take code from the US.
That will mean no Windows. But it will also mean no BSD, no Linux and I would doubt QNX or vxworks etc.
To have EVERYTHING audited down to the programmers' parents, you'd have to do it in the US and pay for it all from scratch. That means a new highly proprietary software that costs a heck lot and comes with more bugs than Wince.
Ideally they should choose the most audited and high quality OS (regardless of who developed it), and build proprietary and secret applications over it.
So while the foreign-developer-inserting-bad-code is an apparent danger, ending up with policies than ban Linux BSD or any other high quality and opensourced OSes is a bigger but hidden danger.
Remember when altavista and webcrawler were cool search engines?
Remember when there WERE no search engines and you'd have to get magazines with websites and reviews?
Remember the first time you downloaded mirc and was flabbergasted when you found out you could CHAT with someone? Before the time people said ASL? When they just said Hi, I'm so and so. Where are you?
Remember when you first saw a FREE version of UNIX that you could download, and which was a royal pain to actually install?
Thats huge. So more than $50 of the $600 price is the power supply.
I dont think customers at higher lattitudes will complain, not in Canada and not in winter. But not all sockets and power bars will be able to handle that.
They should add a metal plate on top for metallic coffee mugs. If they use a water cooled system I could reroute the water to my water blanket and go camping with the PS3:
main() { for (int x=0;x<8;x++) fork(); while(1); }
Hmm I wonder what the article on me says in the Intellipedia. I'd be really interested to make a few changes there.
Next will be insurance, credit, crime and health pedia.
More seriously, I think shared stores of information online have always existed in these departments, its only now they're calling it 'pedia' just as they're calling websites with text 'blogs' now.
With USA abandoning the Hubble and ISS, theres not much to be done in space. The Hubble at least should stay and take pictures, if nothing else. The pictures will motivate politicians and voters to pay for bigger projects.
I thought all the 'pc enthusiasts' with 'intensive purposes' have moved to Linux. I thought that was what made the whole Linux community and why the PC and DOS hacking culture quickly disappeared (remember robert browns interrupt list, turboc++ qbasic games etc).
We're building a new empire and it has no cathederals or grand mosques in it.
I'm too lazy to check, but I think FF is compiled using gcc. Last I checked both the Visual C++ compiler and the Intel compiler produced faster and smaller binaries (generally speaking) for win32 on x86.
Is the current FF compiled with the Intel compiler? If not, are there any projects that compile stuff like FF, Videolan etc on the Intel compiler? I remember a project that was trying to compile the linux kernel using the ICC, but was failing. If Intel releases a gcc-compatible compiler for win32, we should have even faster and smaller binaries.
How about that developer whose job it is to break IE's standards, or break other stuff like Hotmail to make sure it doesnt work work Opera or Firefox. What do you put on your resume? Can you sleep at night?
So right now building a new fab is at its most profitable?
How can we run out of silicon? Its in the sand. How come China isnt coming out with mountains of pure silicon for sale if the demand has been this good for this many years?
The answer depends a whole lot on your background.
I've a background from Afghanistan and have been very curious about recent job postings between $150,000 and $230,000 USD (tax free apparently) for an MCSE and someone who is a US citizen for Afghanistan. It also required secret security clearance. Its probably one dangerous country for a white American especially if you get into frequent contact with locals and have to leave the protected military compounds. But its home to me. A friend of mine was a salesman for Alcatel for 2 years in Afghanistan and travelled all over giving handsets for free to rocket-launcher-wielding warlords and the like. Telecom companies are fighting hard to gain the first monopoly and yell FP!. He was making $50,000 and probably would make $100,000 as a US or Canadian citizen (who are given better posts and paid and trusted better regardless of skill or certification).
In fact the only thing stopping me is I'm not a Canadian citizen YET, and I'll have to get the secret security clearance before embarking out. Hopefully the gold rush will not end in Afghanistan.
However, you couldn't pay me to go to Iraq. I'm as likely to get shot there as an American soldier.
Cisco is about redundant networks. Think of all the MPLS clouds, routing protocols, redundant switching paths and convergence times. So if the hardware fails, thats when we really need the IOS to work. Maybe thats what cisco is afraid of.
Reinstall XP on each machine first thing. Theres no way you can uninstall the rootkits spyware etc.
Next create one or multiple student accounts, possibly one for each student so it can be traced, and lock it down. By that I mean take away write access to c:\,c:\windows,c:\windows\system32\ most program files folders etc. In short, they should only be able to write to their desktops, and other profile folders. If they cause a mess just delete the profile folder and let them login to recreate it.
Apart from that, of course get firefox and find a way to force it, like link iexplore.exe to it. Make sure you install all programs and printers that they should use and take away printer, device driver and app install privileges from that group. Done.
Wow thanks. I think I'll go with the NEC chips for a XIP Linux system that never has to boot. Booting itself will just be an interrupt. Hopefully theyre cheaper than $50 and hopefully still they're free as samples. The exposure I'll generate with it in my projects should give them enough business in time.

I'd say more global empires have been brought down by focusing on the wrong issues, racism and by corruption.
Its people within the global empire trying to make a quick buck at the cost of the empire (Weapons and aerospace companies).

Here in Toronto, I just run my HP Visualize C240 for a little while.
In February it turns my room into a sauna.

I'm still a little stuck on Wince 4 because it can handle ARM7TDMI. The other two require an MMU and generally require ARM9 (except one BSP).
With an ARM9 and that much memory, thats a full standard Linux or BSD distro.

I dont know.
I attempted twice to check out the video but the ad got in the way CNN style. I took about 10 seconds of it and gave up.
No matter how interesting, I'll NEVER bear an ad before a small online video.

Or being in SCO's marketing department?

How about RIAA's legal department?
Actually it is Gore who is saying "First Post" so that 5 years later he can say he invented private space enterprise.
Now if only he patented the Internet when he invented it, he could build spaceships himself now.
So right now building a new fab is at its most profitable?

Isnt it obvious? They since they just released IE7 they want a cake back.
Only to include a file in it for the developers at Redmond.
I thought it meant when you leave communists by themselves they will get seasick.

Indeed, he will be in the top 5 footnotes in the Bibliography. Wish I was a footnote in THAT book.
10,000,000 copies of Linux!
Doesnt matter where the credit goes, as long as it is 'not Microsoft'.
As far as browsers are concerned, I agree with you, Opera was the first one IIRC.

In other news Google is selling Youtube for $10,000 on eBay.
Lets hope their purchase wasnt a mistake and we keep getting cool videos out of it.
I'm pretty sure this is a 3-pixel camera. The image is in color.
