I always think that it isn't worth to waste the valuable garage space on my second-hand japanese car, which worth no more than $1,000.
Now it is used to place a $41,000 supercomputer! Ph43r m3!!
but then, I wouldn't allow anyone driving a car into my garage(WATCH THAT NETWORK CABLES ON THE GROUND!), so should I build another garage for my real cars?....
in NEWS: * Fix the code section determination logic in "_ILImageGetSection"
because Microsoft has re-ordered the IL sections in such a way
that it broke my previous code.
MS: Welcome to Microsoft!
in libgc/doc/README.win32: It is likely that some of these have been broken in the meantime. Patches are appreciated.
I believe the survey reflecting the reality. I use W2K for desktop stuffs.
On the other hand, I'm running Linux server at home to serve my families, helping friends' companies to setup inhouse secure email servers with Linux, implementing Linux network at work and taking freelance jobs setting up and maintaining Oracle database on Linux.
It doesn't matter. Linux has already found its home, and we are all happy about it.
Of course, it'd be much better if I could see Linux desktop dominate the desktop market before I die, but nothing is perfect.:)

Thank you for the great article, merely by reading the title it's definitely for me.
However, there's still far too many mathematics symbols in there which I don't understand. Do you have other articles for non-Physicists and non-Mathematics?
Howard failed to see the sarcasm in Paul's response - he's being totally irrelevent in answering Paul's question. Paul asked you security in telecom not freaking capacity issue!!!
Talking about we ain't got enough clueless people to run the security....
In some cases, it's tantamount to screaming "fire!" in a crowded movie theater. Responsible reporting means if you find a vulnerability, you contact the person in the best position to fix it,
Bob, decided to be a responsible reporter, silently walk out of the movie theater when he found the toilet was on fire. He then dialed 911 across the street for somebody to fix the problem "Hi, are you sure you are the person in the best position to put the fire off? I wouldn't report until I get to this guy."
Now, Office for Windows blows chunks, its bloated and has 'issues'. Mac Office on the other hand, now that is an excellent package - good interface, very responsive, compatible with alot of formats, and rarely crashes on me.
Do you mean the office suite on Mac from MS? then it's very amazing.:)
At any rate, it doesn't matter, the users who adapt to Windows' office suite wouldn't have to relearn everything to use the same product in Mac. I meant for those who is totally reluctent to change to different ways of doing similar things.
Well, I understand few people would like to change.:)
You can lose yourself in Linux for hours, tweaking here, updating there. It's great fun if you like that sort of thing. But if you need to produce a document, spreadsheet or presentation
Don't get me started.
No one force you to tweak it if you don't want to. There's always stable version of Linux for production use. The fact that people don't like doing document, spreadsheet or presentation in Linux is the reluctance to learn different ways of doing same things. A Mac user wouldn't like do that in Windows, for example. Your arguement is very misleading.
I must admit MS offers best of the line office suite, but it doesn't mean other office suite is too inferior in comparison.
If you say it's a massive multi-players game, manypeople are doing serious game playing here.
Sometime I really feel like there's a need to mod some posters as troll or flamebait.
Whatever. Excel used to have a flight simulator embedded in it, for crying out loud! IIS had a back door password of "Netscape Engineers are Weenies" spelled backwords.
Why wouldn't you want a keyboard attached to the thing so you could enter text at a decent speed and fold shut to protect the screen?
May be it isn't targeted on general purpose computing. If it has GPS I'd imagine it's targetted on GPS-navigation device for cars. In this case, keyboard is not very important. (Unless you've two extra hands and one extra eye ^_^)
It'd be very interesting to have MP3 too - A combination of GPS and discless Hi-Fi system in a car! Now pray RIAA wouldn't track you down with the GPS system against you.:)
I didn't look at the technical part of the review, but went straight to the part where the usability of the webpad was explained and there was the biggest error of the machine. It doesn't have an adequate user interface to input text. Neither the handwriting recognition, nor the onscreen keyboard seem to suffice.
User interface to input text? It isn't necessary.:)
I'm looking for an embedded device on which I can build a GPS-navigation prototype for cars. This seems to be a very suitable choice for us. As long as it has a development kit to feed in the apps in there, that's it! (woo MP3 is surely an extra, a good idea, and Linux-based would be much welcomed):)
No keyboard; touchscreen or buttons control would be enough. We don't want our users having car accident merely by a GPS query or searching a MP3.:)
The first webpad to be commercially succesful will be made my Microsoft and have adequate text input
Webpad...well, may be. Though I'm pretty new to embedded industry but I'm sure MS doesn't get any advantage in this market. Man I love it.:D
P.S. I know this device isn't designed to be an embedded system from groundup, but I still find it very suitable to be one. Thanks/. for the info.:)
I wonder anyone would read this by now, well, who care.:)
FF movie costs ~10M, only boxed ~5M - defintely not a glory history. The production firm shall take consequence of failure...
IMHO the failure of this movie is that it strays away from the major theme of FF too much. FF game series is sucessfully in bringing people to a whole new world of fantasy.
FF movie is too realistic - it's like "Alien" movies series with 3D render. No I didn't mean I see aliens in real life.:) but think about it, this movie can well be feature by 'real' actors/resses, I don't see FF movie has taken any advantage of the fantasy atmosphere created by orignal FF games.
Well, my point so obvious to all FF fans. To layman like my girlfriend, she simply wonder why they don't use real people in the movie. 'nugh say.:)
The U.S. auto industry and the U.S. oil industry are so tight that work has been slowed or delayed for decades on all-electric cars.
Sad but very true.
It's crazy that US Government wholeheartedly back this unethical business strategy to ensure their continuous inflows of political money, while letting oil exporters in Middle East holding our balls by altering the price and supply.

Here in Hong Kong there's a similar project(in Chinese) like ' PCs for Kids'. At first I thought it's doomed, until I know Microsoft is involved.
Well Microsoft does not alway mean to charity - especially when a shiny Microsoft logo is behind it.

They've their excuse.
But it's very startling to hear "The cipher is symmetric..." Hey! Can't they do better cipher?!
As an employee who has worked in the OS division of Microsoft I would like to say unequivocally that this article is complete crap.
Just curious, have they fired the dudes who are responsible bunches of holes in IIS and Outlook?
I meant, I'm just curious. Thanks in advance, Bill.

I don't know the charge elsewhere, that's the case here:
:)
"Hello Microsoft support, what can I help you?"
"I got a problem...."
"We'll charge $179 for each probblem instance, 3 instances minimum."
"So...the minimum charge for raising a support call is....$537 right?..."
"Right you are....what is your second question?"
Sorry I made the last one up, but the rest is real.
Shall I fax you a copy of my driver's license? ;)

No, just fax a copy of your article since I'm too lazy to follow the hyperlinks.
