No, magnetic tape was invented and starting to get popular in the USA when he founded the SONY (SOund of New York) corporation. You are right about the walkman though, allthough it was initially a failure since the technicians couldn't fit the electronics needed for making an actual tape *recorder*.

It ain't that bad, Bruce, if you are into running in house commercial applications on hot iron and still wants to give the PointyHaired some kind of support. Word processing and fancy graphs extracted from spreadsheets really is the way of todays world, and StarOffice has those features.
The good news is that what sun is doing is essentially to mirror the gnu effort, albeit with some restrictions, releasing source to the Sun community. This means that _we_ do not have to worry about the sustainability of _their_ buisiness or their ability to fix security holes, since we are in charge of this our selves.
For those of us using the Solaris system on a dayly basis, the difference between Sun and Gnu is, for all good reasoning, close to nil.
(But, honestly, I think the compiler they ship with their system is embarrasing. Heck, just about any Free compiler is better..;-)
Uhm right, it is a bit offtopic, but if you liked the mmx extensions, you are just gonna love this baby.
(And if you thought mmx was "too little, too late", then G4 might have just that little extra to make it a natural entrypoint to vector processing on a chip)
None of the sides wants to see their hard work being wasted just because some inexplicable whim favoured the other side. Therefore there is a natural tendency for collobaration.
The Midnight Commander, swiss knife of Linux filemanagement "mc", will do the ftp for you and show the contents of the remote site in one of its panels.
If your customers can navigate the Windows FileExplorer, then they will have no problems whatsoever with mc.
Trying to make a dumb "push to take off" "push to land" aircraft interface will lead to alot of idiots dieing...
Actually a lot of people crash (and burn) in their stupid cars every day. Cars are really no more reliable than the combination of all drivers on the road.

The problem is that the banner is viewed as a page in its own right, and of course the gif is originating from the same site as the cookie.
Try doing what you say AND leave the warnings on.
Read the warnings and you'll see names of lots of weired servers where you have never been or wanted to go.

An open sourced version of Wince will never happen because wince has recently proven itself to be "bluescreening" upon public demonstration.

Embedded applications do not have paranoid sysadmins monitoring memory or cpu useage.
Engineers in the embedded society are paranoid by birth and avoid risc at almost any cost.
There is no reason to prolong the lifeline of wince, since the competition is available for free, and is stable.
get over it.

SONY isn't a japanese acronym, but rather plain old english meaning 'Sound Of New York'.

Dunno what took him so long? He must have

You say that the hardest part is the widget set?
OK! Then this is the challenge then of the month:
#define The unifying widgetset for Gnome and Kay.
XFree is fast enough for normal applications. Maybe you're worried about games ... speed
...
Right, but games that need speed are in the 3D realm, no?
So X by itself is OK, but we need a fast OpenGL implementation, right?
I think that both researchers and gamers can agree on this and Daryll Strauss is working on it.

MMX is not dead, actually I'm using it all the time now after I found the C-bindings to go with it for gcc.

You'll have to work a little bit on the innermost parts of your loops, but the reward makes it well worthwhile.
I am doing 600+ mips at 166mhz

Sounds to me like you are thinking about the latest JVM released for Win and OS/2?
This baby is the somewhat older 1.1.6 implementation. Needs Motif as well.
Financial institutes and banks have good reasons to be deeply involved with Java.
