For all the benefits of html in mail and inline image attachments. The spam problem has made them more headache than they are worth.
Sure you can still send spam with plain text email and no images, but the statistical filters are going to be much better at catching it. I've SERIOUSLY thought about rejecting/trashing ALL incoming HTML mail, or having an auto reply that sends back to senders informing them to re-send their mail as plain text (nicely of course) as no HTML is allowed.
My reality does not match your reality. Quick! back through the dimensional portal where spam is not a problem! If you don't catch it while it's still open and close it behind you some spammer may follow you back and reek havok on your spam free dimension!
I don't agree with BO most of the time, but he DOES state on numerous occasions that it's HIS show, it's HIS opinion, it's a free country and he can say whatever he wants.
If you don't like it, don't watch it.
If you are concerned about other people being swayed by his opinion, then state your own. And if you want people to listen and believe YOU over BO, the first thing you should keep in mind is that ad-homimem attacks play into the other person's hands. State your opinion not in terms of emotional vitrol about the sender, but make logical arguments tearing up the other side, backing up your statements.

It's a common misconception that Apple computers are more expensive than similarly priced computers from other Windows VAR's (Dell, HP, IBM, ect)
I did a comparison between a Dell D620 and a MacBook. Guess what? The price was almost exactly the same. And depending on how you configured each to get a close match between the two, either one could be more expensive.
Bottom line, there is no appreciable difference in price when it comes to base features, warranty, ect.
The CTO game to NSF last week to talk about Second life (in terms of research, because NSF funds research). The Subscriber base has gone from 300K to over 1.1 Mil from Jan to November. Women especially enjoy the world (which Linden Labs refuses to call a "game")
At the rate in which it's growing, assuming they can scale and the rate of subscriber sign up does NOT increase they will surpass WoW within 3 years.
I could go on about Second Life. I don't use it THAT often (maybe once a week), but I think it's going to be VERY big.
He says the simplicity of the design of the Vic-20 enabled him to learn in a way that today is much more difficult. Read the last paragraph below.
-
IN 1981, LINUS WAS A toothy, pale-skinned kid with a blond cowlick living in a suburb of Helsinki, where the weather is cold year-round, save for a few 70-degree weeks in the summer. That year, 11-year-old Linus inherited a Commodore Vic-20 from his grandfather, a professor of statistics at the local university.
As the cathode ray tube's blue light cast a glow on his face, he sat in his bedroom, books lining the wall from floor to ceiling. Ivanhoe, Treasure Island, Robin Hood and all the Tarzan books. On a shelf: a plastic model of the Wasa, a Swedish ship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. The Wasa, painted in meticulous detail and outfitted with working sails and rigging, took months to finish.
When the first computer arrived, the other projects fell by the wayside. Long past his bedtime, small fingers tapped the dark brown keys of the Vic-20 keyboard. His first achievement on the Vic-20 was the simplest computer program possible: a two-line "GOTO" program in Basic. Once he tried to impress his little sister, Sara, by programming the Commodore to repeat "Sara is the best."
Next he tapped out his first full-fledged video game written in machine code, in which a submarine sails through a moving underwater tunnel, remaining stationary as the operator controls its vertical movement. The craft's captain must stay alive by dodging the "large nasty fish" in the tunnel. As the game progresses, the tunnel constricts. This amused Linus for hours in his bedroom. He stored the program on an audiocassette and took it to school to play with friends.
In hindsight, Linus believes starting on a very simple computer gave him an advantage that today's whiz kids don't have. "Modern PCs are much more complex," he explains. "No kid sitting in front of a Pentium could ever understand all its parts thoroughly." -
Legal NATIVE implementation sanctioned by Microsoft.
Not Legal reverse engineered implementation.
I don't believe a reverse engineered wine only implementation of Direct3d will ever be as fast or complete enough for large scale developers to use it to create native Linux versions of their games.
I don't have a problem if Pizza hut wants to pay to put their logo on a solid rocket booster or painting the shuttle....but some things should NEVER be done.
There was some report that the russians (or somebody) was developing a way to use lasers to put an image on the moon. The last thing I want when with my girlfriend on a full moonlit night is to look up and see the Golden Arches being projected on the Lunar Surface.
If that happens I'll support a strategic NUCLEAR strike on the laser facility!
Many problems people have with their browser has to do with mucked up config files.
Before raising the red flags and complaining when you have a serious problem create a new profile under a different userid (under whatever OS you are running) and test it under that new userid.
suing for patents may not work if you have no other products that sell, but SGI DOES sell products (not many graphics related ones) in the supercomputing realm.
Everybody likes to to try and point out you can't make a biz out of licensing patents, go look up how much money IBM made off of licensing their rather large patent portfolio.

I don't believe a reverse engineered wine only implementation of Direct3d will ever be as fast or complete enough for large scale developers to use it to create native Linux versions of their games.
Until there is a LEGAL impelentation of Direct3d on non MS platforms the chances of games like these being "ported" is next to nil.
The Marketshare of non-Direct3d platforms in the PC area is not worth the $$$ and development effort in most large developers eyes.
