If you look at the list of all T22 models many of them are Linux preloads. But I personally like to get a copy of Windows when I buy a notebook, so I can dual boot.
You still need a PVR to watch West Wing - apologies to any ad executives reading this, but we start watching fifteen minutes after it begins live so we can fast forward through the ads.
I don't think it is fair to equate the deflation of the speculative stock market bubble with the failure of the open source movement as a business model. A similar shake out always occurs in a new industry, for example the microelectronics crash in the 70s (late 60s?). These things take many years to develop, even Microsoft took a decade to achieve market dominance.
First of all, if this is a media machine like mine, nothing terrible will happen if you have some data errors, so there is no reason not to try underclocking. Second, if you buy the slowest CPU you can find you are essentially underclocking. They all come off the same production line, once faster ones come out they just mark some slower and sell them for less. I stuck a P-II/400 in a box, disconnected the fan, got a notebook drive and adapter, and I've been running smoothly and silently for a year.
I'll stick with journalists, producers, academics

they blew their (first) chance to be dominant on the platform used by 90% of browsers by failing to design their software in a scalable fashion and failing to allocate the resources to software development required to maintain their lead over Internet Explorer. They blew their second chance because of lack of focus on the important goals in developing Mozilla, with too much focus on the standard of the week from w3c. And yes, Netscape/AOL employees *are* the main developers of Mozilla.
Since a Tivo is just a StrongARM Linux box you could probably hack an ethernet port into it. Indeed, the Tivo people have said that if they go out of business they would release information about how to do this sort of thing. The TV people might even view this as an indirect threat...
Once the computer age "wild west" mentality wears off a little, people will hire services to perform automatic nightly backups of all their data, just as sure as they buy homeowners insurance and wear bike helmets. Its just common sense. Data loss will become extremely rare, and even scandalous.
My understanding is that the debian packaging system is much more difficult and inelgant from a package developer's standpoint. In fact, there is no way to extract or reconstruct the original set of sources and patches that went into building the piece of software. This makes it much more difficult to update packages. Say you have a package for XFree86 version 4.0.1 that has four or five patches from here and there on the internet applied. Now you download version 4.0.2, and you want to package it up. With RPM you can retrieve the original patches from the source RPM and examine them to see which ones still apply cleanly, which ones are no longer necessary, and which need to be modified. With the Debian system all the patches have been smashed together into a single patch, you can't tell which is which or where anything came from!
Sure, the needs of users can be said to outweigh those of the developers, but at some point benefits to developers communicate directly to users, especially in a homegrown system like Linux.
Since the mid-22nd century looked so much like the 1960s, I image that the early 22nd century will look a lot like the 1950s. Maybe the computer will have spinning tape drives?

I must admit that Corman/Leisterson/Rivast is a much more useful Algorithms book to me.

how do they manage to cost *you* time? They don't
cost me any of mine...

What's the point?

...thank you very much...

It turns out that writing computer software is not half as easy as you seem to think.
Owner of Hogan's heroes sues Tivo. Tivo goes after infringers (or, more likely, goes out of business.)

The companies you are referring to were once making end user software for the Microsoft controlled desktop. Then Microsoft kicks them out.
Princeton is not public, but it has mighty deep pockets.

Just tried it, it didn't do anything.
What you've shown is that nothing significant can stay under the radar forever.
Sure, Redhat is wielding a great big stick by designing, implementing and then releasing the source code of RPM under the GPL. Give me a break.

I won't even dignify this with an answer. Oops!
