No one need to 'switch' to Windows XP or Windows Vista for this trend to occur. All that has to happen is for Mac OS X / *nix rate among new users to be lower than their existing marker share. Given that Vista is preloaded on the bulk of entry level hardware this is in no way surprising.
Yes, Mitt Romney is Mormon, but so is Harry Reid, and both just look like slimy used car salesmen.
Irrespective of what they look like to you, Mitt Romney is tangible contender for the presidency of the United States and Harry Reid is the majority leader in the Senate which suggests that Mormons have considerable political power.
If OSS had similar presence in the IT industry, even if it continued to look 'questionable' to some people, that would be a cause for celebration, no?
I've been with Cingular for a real long time now. I've not had many significant problem. The problems I have had were usually fixed in less then 15 minutes.
I just upgraded to a BB Curve and while talking to the person the phone call dropped (on a land line) and she actually called me back to complete the upgrade and when I asked her for the unlock code she found it for me in less than 10 minutes. I was really very impressed.
Incidentally Verizon uses CDMA (or whatever) so their phones work in only a few countries. A GSM phone on the other hand can be used with a pre-pay card saving large amounts of money when you travel.
If you RTFA you will note that, actually, this particular system is built around the Barcelona architecture (from AMD). It remains to be seen if T2 and later on Rock will really be competative against AMD and Intel.
I can only add that given all these issues Ruby has, nevertheless, become hugely popular so I guess someone must be doing something right?
In the fullness of time, however, if Matz and Co do not meet the needs of the community someone will go off and fork Ruby, or maybe just repackage, document it etc...
You know I am not planning to get a Suburban or anything like that. I consider a crossover a small SUV. I have no special love for the SUV. I've never owned one and I am happy with my existing sedan.
Anyway to answer your questions...
1) Actually, according to consumer reports. The SUV I plan to buy is as safer as the sedan I drive:-)
2) Hybrid:-)
3) I tested my requirements and 2 adults, 2 children with safety seats and 2 pets in carriers all work. This is purely a question of the design of the vehicle. I am buying it for space so I obviously made a point of checking.br ]{
I have a wife and one child. I also have two cats. My sedan is fine to drive around the city but when we want to drive to our other home two adults, one child and two cats (in carriers) will not fit so we're going to need to get an SUV just to manage that. (We don't have one atm, but we plan on one.)
If you have one or two kids and a pet or two an SUV is just practical, it's nothing to do with a 'power trip' or whatever.
I will admit a station wagon would also work but I couldn't possibly...
Apple has already integrated it. It's part of Leopard. The story is not accurate. The marketing guy they interviewed was supposed to say it was not the default OS for this release not that it was 'not happening'.
Actually it looks like InformationWeek has posted a correction (in the comments of the article). Check it out...
As to the news, it seems that Croll mispoke a couple of times when asked about ZFS in Leopard. Despite direct questions about Sun CEO Schwartz's claims that ZFS is there, Croll flatly denied the reports to two of our reporters in a 1:1 interview.
An Apple spokesperson called us Tuesday seeking to clarify Croll's statement. Croll was apparently supposed to indicate that ZFS would be available as a limited option, but not as the default file system."
We are now writing a separate story to note Apple's mis-statement and hopefully to reveal more about how ZFS would work in Leopard.
The issue is that the patent can be interpret to include any organisms that lacks the genes they have identified as non-essential to life.
It's not just an issue of drugs. It's also for the manufacturing opportunities that this offers. One example would be a organism that cheaply creates ethanol or hydrogen from biomass.
Actually, if you read the case, the issue was that a 3rd party was offering a service that stored and distributed music licensed to another party and only to that party and this was ruled a violation of copyright by the 3rd party.
If you copied it to your server it would not fall into the scope of this ruling since no other party comes into possession of the copyrighted work licensed to you.
Actually, given it's composition, it's likely a second or third generation star (although I have not RTFA so I could be full of crap). Anyway, relevant stuff certainly did happen in those 500 million years.
I read all the glowing articles about Vista. I even read a Mac OS X to Vista switch article. So there are certainly some people who think highly of that operating system and Microsoft in general. Given the buggy state of that operating system it can only be assumed that they are the equivalent of a cult.

PS. I speak from experience about the buggy state of Vista. I installed it on 2 systems with all 'Vista certified' hardware and both systems have problems tangible, very visible problems.
Actually, in small shops in France and the french speaking parts of Belgium, this generally happens not because you are not native but because you are not a known/good customer. When my wife and I lived there it happened a number of times that we were let into otherwise 'closed' shops by a shopkeeper who knew us while other native people were not. (Neither my wife nor I speak french very well but we did our best and people appreciated that.)
Although you and I might think it rude it is a cultural thing that you just sort of get used to once you live there a while.
No, actually, the very fact that these countries can reverse engineer everything is the reason why drug companies will sell -everything- they can to them. A legally sanctioned competing producer or distributor would be much worse than even a significant discount.
The issue is not only that the market in the country is impacted but also that other markers are impacted as consumers buy from the competitor. In this case, I fully expect that some people will go to Brazil for a week to 'stock up' on these drugs as that will be cheaper than buying at market value in other countries.
You seem to misunderstand that Linux is not an operating system, it is a kernel. The various 'distributions' are operating systems built upon the Linux kernel. In the vast majority of cases the distributions which target client solutions offer stable UI layers for any given version.
So you could, for example, create a solution for Ubuntu - currently the most popular client distribution - which includes a windowing system, widget libraries, desktop environment, documentation environment and everything else you may need.

The conclusion of the article is that:
Though he personally is pleased with the OS, Halamka is not so sure he'd deploy it widely in his organization.
Although he apparently thought much more of SuSE then he did of RedHat, which is covered in this article:
http://www.cio.com/article/41140
Incidentally, in that article (which is the actual comparison) he says the best OS is Mac OS X, although his favorite piece of hardware is a Dell?!?

You need a child safety seat which occupies half the back seat and the carriers are too large too fit. Trust me, I tried every which way.
