Just don't overvalue the infrastructure in developed countries. It's cheap and beacause it's there, but in the 3rd world they are more likely to go with for example cellular networks than dragging phonelines to every house.
Correct, this is what many people have realized. ADHD is just a collective name for a number of unrelated problems that up to a fifth of the population can have.
ADHD gives support for parents against insurance companies and against accusations of bad parenhood. Unfortunately this label also says that there is something wrong with the child that could be cured, perhaps medicated. That's why such a collective label is a bad thing, there is nothing wrong with any of the persons involved - but there ought to be better ways to get support from the society to help children that won't adapt than just labeling them unfit.

SGI did design the N64 3D engine so lacking real hardware their high-end boxes could have been a good way to get compatible graphics.
it's going to cost thousands to upgrade to Palladium or whatever it'll be called, but we can run linux for nothing. No need for licenses, no need to upgrade the p233 w/224 mb ram.
And even if you come to the conclusion that you need an upgrade that will mean new hardware. The old computers will still be useful with valid licenses for the installed OS, if there is use for them it will certainly not involve upgrading to something worth more than all the hardware combined...
From OpenBIOS homepage: It is our expressed wish to work with the LinuxBIOS team on the lowlevel bootstrapping. They have a growing range of systems working without any other firmware directly booting an ELF binary from Flash. The OpenBIOS kernel was tested with various systems running as a payload of LinuxBIOS
LinuxBIOS goal is to do as little BIOS work as possible since legacy BIOS bugs and shortcomings forces the Linux kernel to redo all those initializations anyway. With Bochs running on Linux the normal BIOS functionality can be provided to any other OS.
OpenBIOS is an alternative to the Linux kernel and provides GUI functions that the cluster developers mainly involved in LinuxBIOS don't need or use anyway (not having to push DEL and enter multiple settings on xxx clustered nodes is their original motivation). Though the common user might be more interested in a microkernel giving access to cd and dvd playing without having to boot any OS, running on a reduces processor speed and not spinning up harddrives.
What interests me most though is the coming TCPA support directly in the BIOS. Could a BIOS without those features fool for example Windows not to use them? Could the features be emulated crippled? Will we see PC-modding in the future with offerings like Lazarus-BIOS, Messias-XI etc.
While HTA is simpler than XUL, there is also the case of XAML which is the direct mirror (or maybe crazy carnival-mirror) of XUL. Last in the blog someone points out that all these attributes was good at the level of HTML 1.0 but is bad, bad, bad if you are going to make any serious applications out of it. CSS is the way to handle such things, unless of course you have an integrated visual developing program that generates code all over the place. Then it all makes sense, because it will become a pain in the *ss to convert the random attributes into some coherent pattern or transform it to for example XUL. (not that XUL don't have some attributes itself)
Eric Meyer explains why it's a bad thing, even though it might look appealing at first sight.
Yup, we're getting to the point where being able to use your hardware is "value added content" that should preferably be payed by month on a licence basis. With TCPA noone should have been in a position to whine about this.
Then it has nothing to do with most storage devices since the long filenames is something added by windows using the facilities already provided by classic FAT...
This just shows, again, that there are no responsible companies. If Dell cared about customer relations they would move their call-centers away from the US into some country which allowed them to thell the truth.

ABB has a version of an inductive cage which provides power to wireless sensors around a robot. It has been developed using bluetooth, then modified for power-conservation and better realtime characteristics. It stays longer in hibernation then sends important sensor data on several of the bluetooth bands for a higher probability of success with less time for link negotiations.
Three years ago Sydkraft had a working tryout with 10 MBit shared for a downtown block. It never got further than that instead they launched an attempt to sell ADSL to customers on the telephone network.
Today 10 MBit VDSL is readily available in the same city (for those that hasn't separate network already). On the other hand Sydkraft still has the infrastructure to be a competitor and has won a deal to bring "broadband" to the whole countryside. But for the last mile connections they decided to depend on tele-lines after all.
Last time I heard from them they were charged $6000 for a key to the telestation and $3000 for an electrical socket for the modems to use in addition to the rent for the lines themselves. So any problems with powerline modems has nothing to do with their motivation to get it working...

KDE must be a good non-commercial alternative. Using iBooks and OSX is just smart product placement on the same lines as the strange overwheight of newly polished GM or Ford cars in a single movie.

Cheap hardware - even if you get network card, a bootdisk and an old 486 in a dumpster it's going to be a pretty clumsy server...
Manufacturer independence - an independent firmware might protect us from sofware dowgrading and value-added upgrades to a more expensive router with the same hardware.
Useful purposes - two ethernet ports and a soldered on a serial port and some i/o would for example enable a heart-beat checking device with a small webserver able to take over from a crashed web-server and tell you whats wrong.

Adopting OO XML will give you access to every solution that has been need while developing OpenOffice.
Developing an inhouse XML format would make solutions solutions for data-mining and cross-linking more feasible while still being able to easily translate to whatever office suite is in fashion at the time.
