They were not surprised by the meltdown. They didn't need TARP money. They should have gone bankrupt as people with good values at Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and countless others did!
If being smarter than your competition is evil, then I welcome evil.
OpenBSD is among the best audited code in the world.
Citation needed. I'm not necessarily thinking the opposite, but is OpenBSD really that much audited? Are we talking about the kernel? The network stack? Or the encryption protocols?
Where I'm working, the workforce is changing from fairly well split between U.S. citizens and Indian nationals to a three way mix between citizens, Indians, and Asians.
My main complaint is the "touch" experience. Typing and navigating through the UI is yet an area where the iPhone has the lead. I've tried multiple Android and Blackberry phones to come to that conclusion
Disclaimer: I'm absolutely not attracted to whatever shines. My desktop is a bare metal e16 on a Debian stable.
Because iPhone is still much smoother than Android.
Most people don't care about Flash, HD video or dual-core phones. People want phones that can do well the basic stuff one wants to do on a smart phone (email, news, maps. weather, calls (!)). And the iPhone is terribly good at that.
I've had an iPhone for 2 years. Now that it's renewal time, I looked at all sorts of Android devices since I want to move away from the walled garden of Eden^H^H^H^H Jobs. The answer was simply that there is no match for the iPhone out there.
My advice to Google: focus on the Android user experience. That's the only way you'll ever beat Apple (and I hope you do).
A lot of people thought like you when they wanted to ban the trading of futures in the late nineteenth century.
And since this is Slashdot: remember when Congress wanted to ban the telephone? It's pretty much the same. Technology advances, whether you like it or not.
Let's face it... Apple has proved to best cost effective in the recent years, so they'll probably buy cheap dell hardware and assemble them on a Linux grid.
I use linux for desktop and servers. Never saw noticed the issue OP is referring to... maybe OP could be a little more specific about what he's doing and on which hardware?
Here comes the myth. "Advertising will pay for it". Why is Zuckerberg trying so hard to monetize Facebook? Because advertising doesn't pay. This year (yes, 2010) is the first year Youtube is expected to turn a positive result (meaning that Google has yet a long way to make that investment profitable if you count since 2005).
The bottom line is you can't expect advertising to be a miracle solution. Everyone hates ads. A lot of people block them. The click rates are low. And yet people want content for free. Am I missing something here?
Trying to implement new functionalities is not easy if you're not an experience programmer.
I recommend starting with an existing program or lib and try to fix the memory leaks. By doing that you will look at many lines of code, learn about coding standards, and still be able contribute. You'll also learn how to debug, which is the hard way to learn. And write proper code. Use valgrind.
Slashdot Mirror
If an OS can to take advantage of dual processors it's a good thing.
If an OS needs a dual processor to function properly it's a bad thing.
No offense, but if you need a definition of bid-ask spread, you need to learn the basics before criticizing HFTs.

Downgrade your 3G back to 3.1.2
There is a lot of material online to guide you through the process.

Yeah, those damn Europeans from Mumbai!
Because that's what the electorate wants. And most of the reactions on /. prove it.
Note that I absolutely agree with you.
security doesn't come from obscurity
How can it be unsupported?
I assume you can't copy your own userdir while logged in, but what prevents you from doing it from an admin account?
And I'm not even joking. Aren't autocratic regimes the obvious clients for such techniques?
that they're redesigning the antenna?
That's a carrier issue, not a phone/os issue. And you can switch to T-Mobile (as I did) if you're not happy wit AT&T.

Stearns?
that can match past successes, such as Vista, Zune, or Kin.

It's a trading system. I want to say it matches Buy orders with Sell orders.
the only customer for Xserves?

Even if Apple spends only $1b on it, how do they intend to make it worth the money?
Do you think this is the 20th century or what?

Hint: start with libxml2. And good luck.
