I don't know about everyone else, but in the fortune 100 company I happen to work for they are moving all new projects to AIX and Linux. This has been going on for the last year. The sad part, for Sun/Oracle, is that it used to be a primarily Sun shop. Now all new projects are AIX and Linux and there is no interest in approving any Sun equipment. All the tech refresh projects we have are moving businesses to either AIX or Linux. This represents a fairly large revenue stream that they are losing. Seems to be a common trend from blogs/forums/etc. that I'm reading.
These are the same methods that I currently practice in my garden.
Animal derived inputs are not required to grow plants. If you do want to add some animal inputs there are animals on the site of most gardens/farms, they are typically running them. You might also want to read this:
What's the difference between this "3D" and the "3D" included on existing titles like the Coraline Bluray disc? Is this just a proprietary technology requiring special hardware with the same relative outcome?
You remember that Apple patent for ads directly in the OS? My guess is that this will be the shift. You will not be able to filter them out as the OS will prevent you from doing so.
Just a wild ass paranoid guess, but that's where this is going I think.
I'm hoping for a Gilligan's Island "reboot". Something darker and edgy. Too bad Chris Farley is dead, he would have made an awesome, cocaine addicted Skipper. I would still download torrents of it instead of paying for cable, because I believe great art should be a labor of love, unsullied by commercial interests:-D
Which part of $1.5B isn't beneficial? Their banks collect interest and their manufacturers make sales.
Meanwhile, 36K acres to power 150K homes? Doesn't a nice nuclear plant only need 100 acres or so to provide power that same number?
In you nuclear plant scenario are they mining and refining the necessary materials to power that plant on that 100 acres as well? What about the coolant?
I agree with you BigTom. I got bullied and my parents enrolled me into Jujitsu classes. Shortly there after I began putting kids that wanted to get violent into pressure holds, etc. Then my parents started getting phone calls from other parents about how I was beating up on their child. I can only imagine how things would have been in these times.
While I think that everyone can benefit from martial arts training. The opinion of "Just deal with bullying or beat them up!" is no real solution. The ideal would be for parents to not allow their children to bully others and to correct them when they see that kind of behavior starting. A solution that I don't see legislation helping.
Google is doing everything in the Java environment precisely to put you in a sandbox they (and the cell networks) can control.
This is my problem with Android, you may as well go with Windows Mobile. They are just about as open.
If you are concerned with freedom then you should get an OpenMoko FreeRunner. You can run whatever software you like on it in whatever language you want. There are plenty of other problem with OpenMoko, but software freedom is not one of them.
"This is raising a generation of people that see no reason not to cheat the system because they watch corporations and government do it all the time. They wonder why they should uphold a standard of honor that no one else is and have it be at their own expense."
I share your perspective. Based on my experiences I would say this is exactly the issue. Why behave righteous when nobody truly values such attributes? Sure, folks give it lip service, but at the end of the days results are what is expected.
This is another thing with modern culture. Our minds are tuned to break things down into the core objectives and what why to complete those goals in the most optimal way (i.e. video game mind set). I suppose this is just a part of the moral mine field presented by the current reality.
Sadly, I think that this guy works for Citigroup. I have been to the offices that you are talking about. While my office is not like he describes I can second his account. It is a little dramatic, but they certainly have offices like this. That building in Irving was condemned too, so Citi got a smoking deal on it. Citi worked out a deal with the city that they would X-ray the walls annually to look for cracks. It's apparently cheaper than rebuilding the tower.
The dilemma here is that the volunteer developers for that software package probably think "Hmm, that will take lot of my time. Since I know how to do this in my software, but it isn't easy enough for Joe Bob what incentive do I have to devote a crapload of my time so it is more simple? Or I could implement some more features and not work on usability since that isn't my problem." If someone wants to have the usability improved in an app they need to do it themselves or pay someone to do it. That's how proprietary software works and nobody but the company that produces the product benefits unlike free software. As noted by others the upside of free software is that everyone benefits from improvements made, which makes the cost less for everyone in the end.
The notion that volunteers in the open source world somehow owe the business world something, when they haven't paid jack squat for it, is very odd. If you are a business and you think that you can pillage the hard work from a group of volunteers and it will "just work" you need to get a clue. Contribute some dollars for development if you want things improved. That's how the free software model works. There is no free lunch, but free software is cheaper and better for everyone in the long run.
Here is a metaphore, it is like you running a food business and someone giving you a recipe for cookies for free and then you bitching that they aren't as good as Famous Amos (or whatever other kind of cookie you think is best). Then you demand that they improve their recipe and make it more like Famous Amos.
Perhaps you are thinking of the Temple of Elemental Evil. Almost all the logic for the game is done in Python. Think of it as the "glue" between the compiled modules. It is for this reason that the mod community for ToEE is still making improvements and changes to the game like the Circle of Eight.

What do you see as the greatest problem with US News media? What do you think is the best way of restoring more objective news outlets? How would you change current media regulations and how would you encourage independant non-profit news outlets?

If you are looking for an idea of the apps people have written:

This is outside of whatever software your distro includes (Debian, SHR, OM2008.12, Qtopia, etc.).

But this is just the internet so...
there's a good chance Android will run on the Freerunner.
So much of a good chance in fact that Koolu is committing to shipping their FreeRunners with Android installed starting in November.

I would just slap their fingers.
I keep a riding crop and beret just for such occassions! ;p

According to this Link
There will be a new patch coming out in the next couple of weeks. Since Steve Moret is only the lead developer for ToEE I guess you would know better.
Without consideration, without pity, without shame
they have built great and high walls around me.
And now I sit here and despair.
I think of nothing else: this fate gnaws at my mind;
for I had many things to do outside.
Ah why did I not pay attention when they were building the walls.
But I never heard any noise or sound of builders.
Imperceptibly they shut me from the outside world.
Constantine P. Cavafy (1896)
