Open source, cross platform, gives me 96% accuracy.
Sorry, 96% isn't quite going to cut it . . . I need 115% minimum. Also, I just read this article in the trade press, and since open source actually means SCO owns it, I just can't consider this option.
I disagree about the origin . . . "Rice burner" typically refers to Japanese-made motorcycles. "Ricer" refers to a particular style of decor, first pioneered by Asian males in southern California and still most commonly seen on cars owned by Asians. It's the driver, not the car, that the term refers to . . . a Mustang can be just as "riced out" as a Honda.
If you're in a situation where your stopping distance is too great to avoid the accident, there's no way you're going to have time to check that it's clear, then change lanes. The only way you could change lanes is to do it blindly, which is arguably more dangerous than taking your chances with your stopping distance. The exception is if you're driving in an edge lane, where pulling into the shoulder blindly is acceptable.
I definitely agree with the "less toys" point, though.
If you were an SCO employee, would you feel at least a little concerned that your boss is aparently dilusional? I know I would.
Not necessarily delusional, just driven by the same pathological greed that drives many corporations. Try it this way:
"If you were an SCO employee, would you feel at least a little concerned that your boss is aparently driven by the same pathological greed that drives many corporations such as Enron and WorldCom into the ground? I know I would."
This is totally insane. I'd much rather have an older, _more experienced_ coder, who may be slower (tho I don't believe that to be true) than some fresh out of college coder.
Just about everybody would . . . problem is, you can get 3 fresh-out-of-college coders for the price of 1 experienced one.

'course, ageism exists all over the place, and is very well established, and probably won't go away. Just look at car insurance.
The difference being that that's based on hard actuarial statistics.

When the job can be done by someone younger (read: cheaper), the hiring manager's decision is clearly to hire younger.
As you get older, you need to make sure to hone your skillset so that younger, less experienced workers cannot do what you do; whether it's significant project management experience, teambuilding, extreme expertise in an area, or something else, you need to make sure you are uniquely valuable, and that your years of experience add to your value-for-the-money, not dilute it.
??? - compression introduces entropy . . . a well-ordered file (little entropy) can be heavily compressed. The compressed version has more entropy per n bits than the original file.
He cited the standards of Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) technology, in which transmission speeds have been rapidly advancing during the past three years from 11 megabits per second in 1999 to more than 50.
I was aware that the "fi" in "hi-fi" stands for "fidelity", but I don't think the same can be assumed here . . .
Microsoft estimates how many copies they can sell at various prices and chooses the price that allows them to recover A and B the fastest.
In the pure, simplified, academic sense, yes. In reality, they must consider the impact on market share among other things. Traditional economic theory doesn't fit the software market as well as most other markets.

By your logic, referring to a neighborhood as "niggertown" would also be acceptable.

PSA: "Ricer" is a racist term. Even if you didn't mean it that way.

What is Plan 9, anyway? All I could gather from the website before it was slashdotted into oblivion is that their logo is really fucking cute.

The only remaining question regarding 802.11g: what are the marketroids going to call it? Super-Wi-Fi? Ultra Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi II? X-Fi?
