I doubt it. As a base for building applications on top of, Linux and associated GNU software is far more mature and has many more full scale apps than the JVM (as an OS) ever had. Linux based OSes are easily available and easy to run with full software suites on common desktop hardware, unlike Suns JVM. MS has waited to long to try and re-use this same defence method.
This is virtually non-sensical to me. Can anybody explain this to me in English?
Microsoft admits that linux is going to obliterate windows.
Microsoft can not continue its current business model of assimilating applications into the operating system because the GPL would require complete opening and free distribution of MS source code whenever MS interfaced its code with GPL code. This would kill the current assimilation model.
Microsoft is vainly attempting to position itself to sit as a layer between the hardware and linux; and by doing so hopes to create a market place.
By doing this Microsoft is allowing linux to behave in a very similar fashion to Java and its VM.
The MS OS department is old and slowly breathing its last breaths. Its xbox offspring, however, is bouncing ahead!

wider faster yes... but those sort of advancements are already factored in at the moment. Once the shrinking of density reaches its limit, the size of the processors die will have to increase for moores law to remain true. If the size doubles every 18 months, then within 50-70 years the processor could very well be the size of a human brain. At this stage we might just have reached the point in time where a Technological Singularity occurs.
Skynet will become self aware and John O'Connor will save the human race... hrmmm...
Besides, if MS where to go another full year without an OS with full 64 bit support, it could be bad for business.
How? MS is a monopoly, you will like what they give you, when they give it to you. It will not be bad for business because it will help you work faster when it arrives. It will be easier to work with and it will have more features. There is no serious competition or threat to the MS monopoly at the moment. Unless someone develops an easy to use (for joe six pack) OS that can run the current crop of MS apps, then MS has nothing to fear.
Leaving it to long would be a mistake, however, they have released it on schedule now that the intel have released their 64 bit processors. ahhh... the old wintel alliance.
Sorry for the rant. I guess it's just sour grapes - one would think that after helping the US with that crazy War on Terror thing, that we'd at least get the courtesy of lube before the big event.
As an Australian I feel the same way. We certainly have been shafted without lube. While not all seppos can be blamed, the ones who rely entirely on income from investments are... fat bastards. Perhaps they should try working for a living.
Apparently he is not an Australian citizen. I have no idea about his actual citizenship. I didn't read about it in TFA. I read about it in a report from the Australian Financial Review on Friday the 11 of March 2005. I couldn't find a link to a web based version of the article. The only bit of relative info in the article was as follows...
Griffiths has lived in Australia since he was seven but does not have citizenship and Mr Townsden [the defence lawyer] fears he may not be able to return [after extradition].
I do not know how accurate this report is. Apparently Griffiths has already been in jail for 10 months, perhaps they consider him to be a flight risk, another Kevin Mitnick perhaps?
Ahh, I should go RTFA. That would make a difference in this case. Is he a US citizen?

The summary demonstrates just how complex and extremely difficult the whole IP issue is to comprehend. This demonstrated complexity is another reason why temporary granting of monopolies through the use of IP laws should be limited to ten years. When the legal arguments begin to take the form such that one person alone cannot possibly comprehend what is going on, how is a judge going to be able to make an honest and correct decision. What is going to happen when the complexity of these laws is so great that even a team of judges can not make an informed and honest decision.
What about the new DSLAMs that are being rolled out? Have you investigated any of the new plans? The 2mbps is a Minimum download speed. Speeds of 6-8mbps may be possible depending on your line.

why do ISPs skimp on upload speeds?
For the average P2P user, who does not have a hacked client, there is a 1:1 ratio that must generally be stuck to, otherwise the P2P system doesn't work. This is especially true with BT. Other P2P networks allow different ratios. For most P2P users this means that their downloads are capped by the ammount that they upload.
I believe that it is technically possible to allow greater upload speeds, however, download speeds will suffer as a result.
By the way, most people aren't any good at math, men or women. So what?
So what??? This man is trying to end a useless debate by some sections of society who claim that men and women have equal abilities and also claim the workforce should be gender-neutral. The best person should be selected for the job. On average men are better at leadership and maths than women. That is why there are more men than women as CEOs. The femminazi movement would love to make some moves into corporate america and legalize discrimination against men by declaring that 50% of all corporate positions must be taken by women regardless of ability. These man hating women have already forced similar changes in Europe. At the moment the ratios are more like 9:1 in favour of men, this ratio is similar to the ratio of men:women who take University positions in maths intensive areas such as Engineering and Physics. It is also probably similar to the ratio of slashdot subscribers, however, I feel that a few more women may read slashdot due to other topics covered.

The whole article looked like one big AMD promo to me.
It sounds more like a way to "wire-tap" the wireless signal to me. Big brother is now allowed to watch your traffic.

With very little punctuation in your post I can definately see that, from your definitions, analogously, you are an nVidia fan!

I think nearly everyone has forgotten to take a long hard look at the site they are now reading and the business model it incorporates...
Most of the "pay-per-view" tv stations are just mind numbing propaganda, similar to the printed media... who do you think owns them?

In Australia people from the USA are often called "Seppos" or "Yanks".
That was +1 FUNNY

You wonderfully point out that femminism is destrying society and that unless we send women back to the kitchen we are all doomed...
No.
Thank you for some fine posts Sire.
Allowing equalizations of this sort to permiate through society will only encourage excess consumption and environmental stress.
