"Paul is hung!"
"Why?"
"Well, Paul mounted Mary, but then when Mary went down, Paul stopped responding."
"Must have been a hard mount."
I think what at least some of the investors know, and we do not, is The Bigger Idiot Theory. In real estate, you sometimes buy a property and then find out it's either overpriced, or a dog. That's when you start buffing up the property and looking for a bigger idiot than yourself.
It's entirely possible that many of these traders don't know or care if the SCO arguments are valid. They could well be banking on finding the bigger idiot before the day of reckoning.
Send me your bank account number. I have a special friend in Nigeria who has a business proposition for you. I will collect a very modest introduction fee (payable in advance, of course...) and you may receive millions!
This appears to be the first Digital simulator with hi-g capability, but it's not really the first such device. Google for 'LAMARS', which had a 20ft arm, but had analog scene generation (believe it or not, a small camera 'flew' over a terrain board!).
USAF Tech Report
Large Amplitude Multi-mode Aerospace Research Simulator (LAMARS)
The LAMARS is a specialty research device located at the Air Force Wright
Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. A very similar
device is located
at Northrop at Hawthorne, California. Both the LAMARS and the device at
Northrop
were developed by Northrop at the Hawthorne facility and consist of a
very large and
long beam to which the simulator cab is mounted at one end. The beam is
mounted to
a vertical column at the other end. The beam can move both vertically
and horizontally.
The cab is gimbaled so that it can pitch, roll, and yaw with respect to
the beam. The
cab has a total displacement of 20 feet vertically (heave) and 20 feet
laterally (sway).
The system is capable of a peak vertical acceleration of 3.6 g's and a
sway or lateral
acceleration of 1.6 g's. The LAMARS could provide a very good motion
capability for a
fighter aircraft; however, considering the cost goals for current
fighter flight trainers, the
cost of acquisition and facility impact for such devices would be far
greater than could
be justified.
Microsoft isn't blind to this. The $149 Student and Teacher Office Edition is licensed for up to three computers in a single household. Their challenge is to prevent the price cutting in the home arena from affecting the Corporate prices.
Let's let evolution sort this one out. We've already got a law mandating air bags. Just pass a law exempting manufacturers from liablility if you're stupid enough to have a 5lb laptop in front of one. Then we'll select for smarter, more careful drivers, and more nimble pedestrians and bike riders. Everybody wins!
The US Postal system has been using Evolution in the Enterprise for years.
Every few years, a worker kills the slowest and/or stupidest of his co-workers. This is supposed to yield a faster, sleeker organization.
Results have been disappointing so far.
Yeah, it's expensive, and the typical slashdotter could do it cheaper with Open Source. The average small business can't, and will pay more for convenience. The real explosion will come as prices drop, and these features roll into your cable modem. My cable company already offers no-brainer wireless for a 'mere' $14/month. Within a year, I'll bet they offer data storage and some of these other features as well.
A cable company competes on two fronts: entertainment and the higher-margin data services. The big win for TW is not that this allows them to compete more effectively with DSL providers; it's that you can't (yet? ever?) do this over a Satellite connection. That allows them maintain price on the entertainment offerings and keeps customers loyal.
If you're using a PalmOS-based device, look into Lyme & Sysquake from Calerga. It's a free mostly-Matlab compatible math language. From the website:
LyME is a port of LME ("Lightweight Math Engine", the heart of SysQuake) to Palm OS handheld devices. It implements more than 360 native commands, functions and operators, mostly compatible with Matlab, and 70 functions written in LME. It requires Palm OS 3.1 or higher and at least 1.5 MBytes of free memory. Palm OS 3.5 or higher is preferred; Palm OS 5 offers optimal performance and functionality.
Don't think partitions - think FreeBSD jails - with the added ability to limit the resources (CPU & Memory) that each jail can comsume. Create it dynamically, reboot it, destroy it, all with affecting the other jails.
Certainly, if every copied MP3 or other media is a 1:1 correlation with a lost album sale, and every "shared" MP3 is responsible for hundreds of lost sales, then one city BUS must then be responsible for the loss of the sale of 40-60 automobiles?
Absolutely, which is why General Motors used its influence to cause dozens of cities to dismantle their streetcar system after World War II.

Let's see. A temp violates a company policy, and gets fired. Big Fat Hairy deal. Where I work, taking a picture can get you fired also. Taking the wrong picture will get you charged with espionage. If your phone or pda has a camera, and you take a picture without approval, you lose it. Don't like it? Don't work here.

The commodity approach is pretty much the same one Sun made with the Ultra-10 and later desktops. Keep the processor and OS, and capitalize on the economies of scale for everything else - disks, memory, cdrom/dvd, etc. It hasn't led to a boom in sales, but it's allowed them to price more competitively. I suspect Sun's workstations (and entry servers) are priced just low enough that it's easier for Sun's existing customers to pay a slight premium than to switch architectures. The high-end platforms are where the profits are.

Yeah, I'm sure that "SFU" originally stood for "Services from Unix".

All of the above. Which is brilliant. If the RIAA comes after him, he says, "What? Look it says right here, don't infringe!"

You're missing something. He said "fat client", not "obscenely bloated obese application shoehorned into a fat client".
