Postgres is getting much better speed wise. But Oracle's main selling point vs. DB2 traditionally is how fast it is. MySQL is also fast comparable to Oracle. This is less of an issue than it was a dozen years ago but I'm not sure how much that mindset still survives at Oracle.
It is going to be Drizzle and they are going to do it quickly. The embedded market doesn't care as much about uniform compatibility if they need performance. Maria OTOH will stay very close to MySQL legacy and the main MySQL (unless they pick up a large percentage of mindshare). So I'd expect the main MySQL and MariaDB to codeshare if both projects are doing well while expect Drizzle to fork off and never come back.
I think for endnote users it comes down to interface. I don't think it has improved much in a decade so if you didn't like it before it is unlikely to be much better now.
That's how you win a war. You start to reduce enemy options. If the fire ants now have to act at night and remain dormant during the day, their nests can be attacked during daylight hours safely by ant eating animals that hunt at day.
Microsoft which order 50 million in units of 10 million got a custom chip with all sorts of modifications. You may not like the fact that binding orders were the problem but:
1) IBM indicated this was the problem 2) What happened with Microsoft indicates that IBM was in fact willing to provide speciality chips for people with binding orders
They refused to provide custom chips without large binding orders. They were willing to provide Apple with chips just not à la carte.

Maybe, maybe not. There is a lot of low level technology that is exclusive to mac. If there were say 100 high quality games unlike anything available for any other platform would gamers be willing to buy apple; especially given that they can dual boot to run PC games?
The original poster said it meant, "collaboration, versioning, recovery, and so on." which sound kind of heavy to me. Your list I don't know. I'd say maybe Saig or one of the older curses based ones (can't get lighter than that).
What exactly does "good" mean for you? That's a bit generic if you think that Excel and OO-Calc aren't "good" you must mean something quite non mainstream.
Oracle's business model right now is to tie enterprises to Oracle database products and tie oracle database customers to other enterprise apps. Essentially create the kind of lockin with things like PeopleSoft that Microsoft has on the desktop.
Enhance OpenOffice Base so that it acts for Oracle the same way Access does for SQL Server, heck push their forms product right into Open Office. Create all sorts of automated data features using Oracle Networking for OO Calc, especially for Oracle Financials. Create business interfaces right on top of OO Write. I can see it fitting wonderfully. They move to open office and find themselves getting more and more locked into the entire Oracle suite.

1/2 they let it rot 1/6 they keep funding it like it is now 1/3 they integrate it like I said above
Agreed. I said as much when I directly countered the ggp "we don't have historical records of anything from from 8000 BCE". I gave him a specific point of dispute.
Thank you. In all fairness I couldn't have put those 3 objections together until I saw the list of myths. I knew before I got your piece of the affirmative case was that there is no historical record of anything anywhere on the planet from 8000 BCE. So I could have something much weaker like:
"If they are historical they didn't happen in 8000 BCE"
but your list is what crystallized "they aren't describing a common event".
But I needed a specific list to be as specific as I was. In other words because you came up with a list of specific floods we are capable of agreeing there is no historical evidence for a global flood i.e. what the ggp was asserting is false. The specifics made that resolution possible.
On the other hand I do see your point that finding that list probably took 20 seconds and it isn't unreasonable to expect someone who is responding to have done 20 seconds of research.
Yeah good point. Maybe something like the first minute is free and if you keep watching beyond the first minute then you pay a $.05 or a $.1. That might also stop people from those overly long introduction on youtube videos.

Never, they would destroyed in a prior art claim. They sue other people who don't know about TeX.
Word supports a bunch of bibliography managers like EndNote. The combination beats out TeX.
Even if you are a Peta person....
These ants have wiped out other species if all species are equally valuable then they fire ants are guilty of systematic genocide.
This is a animal rights operation.

If Apple had order (binding order) 4 million 3ghz chips IBM would have either provided them or paid large penalties.
Interesting I hadn't thought about how to quote text with ellipses.
Good solution. Might make it in.
No ellipse is not a change to the text but a deletion from the text.

Open Office has a BASIC, it also has user defined functions.
Open Office takes environment flags. If you are a Unix user just use $PWD

2 things I'm excited about are structured comments (ability to reply to a comment) and bidirectional text improvements.

OK name someone in the media that has advocated that position. Not generalities but a person saying this is there position.
That's a list of flood stories from pre history. Far far less than cultures having a record of a flood datable to a particular time.
1) Most of those stories don't claim to be historical
2) They aren't describing a common event
3) They didn't happen in 8000 BCE
