For bunnies sakes, Ballmer is riding the value downwards (check long term please, not for the las t2 or 3 weeks or whatever), depleting cash reserves and in general showing no idea where the company is going.
To say that MS ownership would be great is a huge leap of faith.
Responsibility does not equal accepting abuse of your time.
That is not responsibility, that is dumbness.
I will not brag about my compensation in previous companies, lets say that I have worked for several in the top 20 in the Fortune list.
I simply will say that under no circumstances have ever accepted to work without knowing with all detail how I would be compensated in the eventuality of an emergency.
I have worked through many emergencies saving my employers millions of dollars but I have never ever worked more than 35 hours a week.
If there are no arrangements to pay appropriate compensation for working overtime, unsocial hours or sudden assignments then I will not do any work. I do not care if the next morning 500 people can't work the next morning.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
When you are playing hero you are masking inefficiencies in a company that sooner or later will come back to bite everybody in the worst possible way.
Masking inefficiencies in a company is most unprofessional, managers demanding this insanity and technicians accepting to do it are a risk to any company.
These gadgets are to be used when you are on call and need to read email to evaluate the situation before loging in remotely, or worst, getting your ass back to the office. Why should you be browsing your email if you are not working?
If I had one of those it will get home to a drawer, or close by if I was on call and it doubled as a phone (even that is dubious, being on cal the company would have my home number as well).
If you don't know where to go yeah, sure. Like in any other place really.
And as for your "evidence" it is completely anecdotal , I could mention mine in the contrary having been to both countries innumerable times. The French have a bad reputation as grumpy when it comes to non French speakers for a reason....

If your data is mostly read only, or if you have little metadata (i.e. big files) RAID5 is perfectly adequate.
After reading this thread it feels like RAID5 is the Sun of mirroring schemes here in/. (hated without a solid reason).
The public is really aching for a mobile platform that is capable but that is not locked in.
The constant fight against companies in order to do more with the devices we have paid for indicates there is a real need there.
What Palm needs to do is to release new products with a new OS that covers the basics (input/output, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) and let the community get on with things creating applications and new innovative uses.
If they just release something else that is closed they simply have got no chance, Nokia, Apple and other players in the market can afford to release closed stuff, wait for the market reception and adjust with new models to the demands of the market. Palm has not got the resources for that, openness may be their last chance to avoid oblivion.
If you are a consultancy relying heavily on a given piece of software and it brakes or you need enhancements, who are you going to ask to do the work for you?
Maybe people working independently in FOSS projects do not know how to market themselves as gurus of a given project, but this does not mean some people actually doing the programming will not benefit.

I could not give a rat ass about an email address as a means to judge how professional somebody is.
People judging based on that will deserve any pains as consequence of their misjudgements.
But many websites don't accept + as a valid character for names in email addresses.

... to activate other phones.
So try again genius.

Anybody doing something else simply lacks self esteem and basic negotiation skills.

Sorry, but a Thumper is way to expensive to keep a personal collection of pirated MP3s and out of focus photographs ....
SO credit where credit is due.
Now if I want to buy your appliance I have to ponder that I would be locking myself in.
With somebody selling me a similar appliance with a GPLed core, I would not have such concern.
For consumers GPLed stuff is the way to go, any companies that do not heed this may struggle in the future.
As your screen name.
That was enough to put me off.
Fill a glass with water, take some of that water and freeze it, put the ice back in the glass.
The level of the water will be lower with ice (below the brim) than with water (at the brim).
The global water cycle started with water in liquid form which later freezed, not with water and ice, as you tried to show.
If you understood anything about climatology, you would know 1 C would be bad enough.

You should watch The Godfather.
Thanking somebody for giving you a job despite of how they can do that is morally suspect.
MS did not invent email, did not see the internet coming and in general has never started a paradigm shift in the industry.
Basic, COBOL and Visual Basic at some point were all the most popular languages (shudder).
And as always, ruby detractors keep to themselves those catastrophic inherent problems that are glaringly obvious ....
Maybe it is popular because it is easy?
If the programming elite are so clever they would have come up with something that allow developers to prototype and put in production things quickly.
You may be right in regards to security, but patronizing people about how they are trying to fulfil a real practical need is frankly beyond the pale.
If you are a consultancy relying heavily on a given piece of software and it brakes or you need enhancements, who are you going to ask to do the work for you?

Satire has to be funny to be such...
At least now you know you are rubbish at telling jokes, not all is lost.
But many folks around here forget that far too easily.
