"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship."
Microsoft doesn't have a good history of playing nice with partners. They tend to die painful deaths and their history in the mobile space is that of spectacular failure.
Scaling Linux from Meltemi up from a low spec to a high spec smartphone would be relatively easy. If the MS "partnership" goes the way all the previous ones have gone, Nokia would be dead, full stop. This way they may have an escape route.
Oh and "feature phone" these days is 100MHz with 32Mb RAM, 2Gb storage. That sounds like a 30 user system to me.
WTF are you talking about? Devops is nothing new

Historically a sysadmin has been able to and does write, fix software, and administering large scale systems has always meant templating and then deploying from updated templates... which means having a build system which can build to a template usually automatically (it's boring) which apparently is now called continuous integration. You also need an infrastructure designed to easily deploy changes. VM or physical is almost totally irrelevant, VMs make life a little easier.
Lets see... Infrastructures.org for example was definitely there mid nineties (and still is, cool.). That's almost a whole generation ago, how old are you?
I have no idea what makes people think this devops stuff is new. Is it just the fact that there are now thousands of newbies trying to make names rediscovering good practices? Is it just that we now have more large scale systems, or is it that we now tend to have highly distributed vs centralised systems?
And it's not development. It's engineering. The difference is maths.
Maemo 6 inside. So you've got a relatively standard Linux box there.
Of course they have decided not to sell the thing in their main markets... Like the USA, Germany, UK so you probably couldn't even buy one if it was an apple killer. Genius...
With that kind of decision making within the company, we have an explanation of the stock price drop from $40 to $5.
Acid free paper is the best bet at the moment, it can last several decades to centuries. But then you have to be sure the inks/toners are stable etc.
Digital storage is "brittle" it relies on all sorts of technologies and assumptions which are not valid over a longer term. Basically when the power goes off, we as a civilsation are fubar.
Get rid of: The assumption that they are trying to make the most money for shareholders. Want a sustainable and growing business.
Instead look a human nature. The primary sin being vanity. Assume the word "I" in double bold capital letters is the most important word in the universe. Assume it's about personal aggrandisement, power etc.
Exactly the same economics as China. The difference is the workers run on electricity or fossil fuels etc.
Of course on top of that is a what, 30%, 40% handicap on the flesh and blood worker in the form of income tax etc. Just for working.
Machines perform work, should they not be taxed in terms of the amount of energy they consume as a proxy for the amount of work they do? After all, humans are taxed in that manner.
You simply have to understand what money is. Most people don't understand and are deliberately misled by those who do, so that they can fleece them... You need a bag holder, the guy who buys at the top and sells at the bottom.
I've been beating the market for several years because I understand exactly what's going on, where as most people seem to view life as a series of completely random unconnected events and are therefore continually caught by surprise.

After that, it's Banana Republic time.

This is going to be fun.
The US has been living on tic for 40 years. China has bled you dry, basically your options are:
1. Ron Paul
2. Banana Republic.
I'm betting on 2 BTW.
No B infrastructure?
No testing?
Bet the business made lots of money though.
Require full reserve (as opposed to fractional reserve) banking. It would remove the pyramid.
The British did the rise up thing in 1649... Didn't like it.
And most of the big vendors and even many free software systems support key management. So no, it isn't very difficult. You just have to give a shit.
Place your bets.
Damn. I need a new desktop.
Lets see them run their vehicles in the UK. Then we'll see the true value of solar.

Go on, get off my lawn!
Though this isn't true:
Any phone smart enough to run Linux us smart enough to run WP7.
You can strip Linux down to sweet fuck all. Windows OTOH isn't Windows unless it has windows.
But yeah... WTF?

So IBM will be number 1 soon.
Really though. This isn't news for nerds.
Put horns on it, produce 2000 of it and have them charge the enemies. I assure you it will discourage warfare like nothing else.
Yeah cos they'll just line up for you. An RPG is much cheaper.
if you are paranoid, zero it, then format it with a file system and attach it to your laptop/PC for reuse.
You keep the drive, you know it has been wiped and it is still useful.

Go look at a long term trend of all. They respond identically, it's basically irrelevant which you use.
And I'll just add for the Apple sycophants. Apple is are in a huge bubble. Almost as big as the Treasuries bubble.

Life will start to make more sense to you.
Booms and crashes are caused by credit expansion and contraction. Not the underlying money.
"The over extension of debt can be corrected by devaluing the the currency."
Yay! World War 3 Here we come!
Think about what you are saying.
4500. FTSE rather than the DOW.

"But the delta-v required would become as low as we please, making very cheap and low-power sources effective"
By that you mean slow => With very poor throughput.
Poor throughput means not economically viable. Which means yet another boondogle which your average spud is going to have to pay for.
