France (which has a high speed train network) has low rural population density. High speed trains link high density areas between each other (just like planes do). I live in one of the densely populated areas that does not have very good high speed train service - there is nowhere to put the tracks.
So your logic is slightly flawed.
High speed trains are energy friendly and quite clean but do have issues with noise pollution and tracks tend to modify the landscape in unpleasant ways.
Mac OS X can be ssh'd into and administered without the GUI. I think you can do that with W2003 too, didn't they put a command line interface in that one?
But will it be enough? This document is full of logic, justice and decent values. That is not what the US IT industry who is pushing for software patents is well known for.
Dreamweaver MX -> MX2004 was a bugfix release (CSS support got fixed) no way was I going to pay over 90 for a bugfix upgrade. It was 299 !
ImageReady is a joke compared to Fireworks. Golive got tested but the beta version was so unstable that I took it of my HD after 20 minutes tops. I don't care if it works now - Dreamweaver beta worked like a charm.
I will probably move all my JSP development to NetBeans and am already playing with bluefish etc. for html. But for the time being I have a Dreamweaver MX Studio licence and it does most of what I want just fine.
I think the idea behind free services is to permit those that can't pay to catch up just a little. Maybe they could follow courses in the spare time they have between their two full time jobs?
I think that some politicians are scared of a technological divide inside the USA. Just as there is one between the north and the "developing" nations in the south.
I beg to disagree: getting involved and contributing would have been just as eye catching if the marketing campaign was correctly done.
Thanks to the unichrome project I have been enjoying a near silent HTPC for quite some time. The VIA drivers opened are the same slow buggy ones that I dropped well over a year ago.
There is no alternative: the unichrome x.org driver is the only choice for the CLE266!
The reverse engineered code you are talking about is in x.org and has been for quite some time. In fact the ubuntu hoary cd on my desktop right now has it. VIA drivers were very good at locking up my machine when I used them nearly two years ago.
The main stumbling block for MPEG acceleration is the lack of DRI/DRM support in the kernel for the CLE266. You have to build from CVS.
I have been enjoying HW MPEG2 for so long on an EPIA M that I don't remember when I got it working. It is fanless and watching TV or DVD uses 10-15% CPU.

I have a hush with an el cheapo DVB-S card in it and it gives me a PVR that uses 10% CPU (50% when recording 4 channels and watching a fifth);
OK lets break this down:
- hush = no fans! heat pipe cooled VIA EPIA M 10000 CPU with 512 Mb RAM and puny 40 Gb HD, and with unichrome driver you get accelerated MPEG2
- VDR software for recording (does not require MySQL which is why I chose it instead of MythTV)
- vdrxine plugin
- vdradmin web administration interface
- plugins ad nauseum including burn to DVD
LIRC used to work before i "upgraded" to FC3 it was a real joe six pack machine. Point remote, pause live TV.
The CLE266 MPEG acceleration is working. The new chipset used by this board is under way.
Why would you want to encode in a PVR? I just write MPEG2 DVB-S streams to disk with VDR and watch them with xine. If I want to record to DVD I used vdrsync and write the file to DVD format.
CPU usage for DVD and DVB acceleration on 1 Ghz Epia is 10-15%

Thanks for pointing me to this. But it won't work for me - I do most stuff in JSP.
You CAN pay.

You too! I tried submitting VIA opens source code the other day. Taco Just waited till he got the press release before publishing himself...

Stay tuned
You forgot to add that the unichrome driver is in xrog CVS now but otherwise you have it right. I am about to embark on a debian version of the same.
