I have this on my laptop, and I expect a lot of linux laptops have this, works fine. Suspend to disk needs apm compiled into the kernel and a bios that also handles it. When the suspend to disk in invoked, the bios takes over and either writes to a special partition or to a special file in a windows (fat32) partition, reverse is true to power up. All linux needs to do when the signal comes in is to stop various services and let the bios take over
There is nothing to stop MS continuing as normal, here is the premise, the OS company will not make big bucks but the apps company will, so MS just needs to focus on the apps company, and make the OS company a non profit making one, supplying the OS for free (but not open source), then everyone will get the OS and still have to buy the apps, the business community will love MS for this, and continue to buy into the MS is best mindset
as the GPS receivers in the car are used by the in car system to locate the cars position on a map NOTHING is sent to a satellite.
As for not allowing speeds greater than 70Mph, I am sure the designers can see that there is a need to allow limited speeding for about 1 minute and maybe an accumultive period of 20mins per hour
anyway if the goverment wants it they will get it somehow, even on the back of an unrelated bill, which seems to be the way to get unwanted legislation pushed through nowadays
If the main company breaks up what kind of effect will this have on the other pending and up and coming lawsuits ?
Caldera suit would be dropped, and any other complaints, as the company that is being complained against no longer exists, if I was Bill I would want to be broken up, they can start free and easy, with no court cases pending, gives the lawyers a rest, and allows all the baby bills a few months before new lawsuits start rolling in
reads like a short story or film plot, very shallow and simple certainly not up to the mainbending Diaspora or Axiomatic. This was made worse by my reading it in large paperback (softback) format, large letters widely spaced - like a kids book !
Whats the suprise here, MS will always go where the money is. This is a point I discussed with a friend a couple of years ago. The USA DOD has lots of cash for software, so MS will eventually write software for the platform that is preferred. If this is a Sun product then that is what they will target, if it is Linux then expect Word for Linux. I would expect MS to go the linux route then they can target Sun, Corel, IBM/Lotus and StarDivision all in one go !

yay, lets get borland/inprise to release it open source and lets get it on X - crisp is too damn expensive

Surely this is just the same as crakers/hackers
crakers are the cyberpunks and hackers the postcyberpunks
crackers destroy infiltrate etc, hacker create code, families etc.
everyone grows up eventually
