bzzzt, Wrong answer. Your foundational axiom is
faulatious. I am at work right now, so I can not properly respond right now ( lunch break), but later I will post a responce that demonstrates the absolute nature of good and evil. The jist of the
arguments for relativity operate by confusing right vs. wrong with good vs. evil.
I spend much time and effort on my graphics. For me it is a form of art. When I see one of my Backgrounds on a coworkers system, I am tickeled pink. I would like to make money at this someday. The more my work spreads, the easier it will be to sell my services. As for downloading and distributing my backgrounds as art theft, get real. The only valuable item is the 16 to 30 layer 1600X1200 gimp file and all the variouse auxillary files I used to generate the 1024X786.png. It is just like photograph. It is'nt the print, but the negative that is important, despite what some anal Photo trade organizations are pushing for.
Did any of you bother to read Jacksons recomendations. Illeagle bundling, give me a break. Who cares? This is just one issue that the MS controled press focuses on to confuse the public. Most people don't understand why this is a problem, and in reality it is a minor point in comparison with the bs that MS puts in their licencing agreements and the games they play with the APIs that they allow their partners and costumers see. ( Company A starts to support Linux, and with the next service pack, their software suddenly starts acting kinda slow because the APIs that they are permited to use have been deoptimised. This happens often.) Jacksons original recomendations address just such issues. Basicly all this new emphisis does is make things harder for the MS Ministry of Lies and Propagand.

The H.P. Way went with the real H.P. now known as Agilent. The fu^H^Hnew H.P. has replaced the H.P.Way with "The Rules of the Garage". The replacement was definatly done with stealth, misdirection of attention, and a little KY.
When Zip Data, constaintly says things like this about the Atholon "An inexpensive solution that can sometimes match the performance of higher priced PIIIs and P4s." When they should be making statements like "The Atholon beats the crap out of more expensive PIII and P4s in all but a few specialy tweeked game aplications, where the P4 edged ahead".
The last couple of MS liscentiouses ( Oh my, did I misspell that!) I read forbid running the software on any system that does not have a valid license for a MS OS. I could quote an example but that would mean that I would have to turn on and boot the HP Kayak/w WindumpNT that my employer gave me to try to shut me up from bitching about all the MS BS files on the internal web sites and the labour reporting system that only works on ie and which is inferior to my ancient 125MHz PA-Risk workstation runing a 6 year old version of HP-UX, and that would mean that I would have to undergo a lengthy purification ritual.
I resent the fact that Michael thinks his stupid opinions matter. A research project can not be vaporware because there is not targeted project. It is a big step when major forces start activly investing in something as long term as this. There is a huge difference between cooking up bluesky ideas, and actualy trying to see if thwe ideas can be made to work. And it is very fortunate that a firm like IBM, with anti-MS tendencies is spearheading some reaserch. The computor science of MS is too primitive to tackel anything this complex, but they are big enough to steal it from smaller developers and claim that it is theirs. With IBM and the involment of various governments, I dont see MS as quite being able to do this. If they did do it, MS would more or less rule the world and Linux, FreeBSD, Plan9, OS/2, etc would be dead.
You are so incredibly stupid, or unbelievably brainwashed. Its morons like you that enable Hitlers to commit atrocities. Let me spell it out for you, or better yet have someone read this and explain it in terms that a lobotimized sheep like you can understand.
Microsoft is going to become the ONLY way anyone anyware will be able to access knowledge. They will do this by gaining support from the media companies, the tobaco companies, the power/oil industry(note how all the big oil cos are getting into wideband, and B2B), and the drug companies, by promising them that they will provide features in their software that will allow them to completely control what the user sees and does. If Microsoft has their way, then only big buisness will have an internet presense and only big buisness will provide knowledge, and only big buisness will decide your meeningless futur and the futur of everyone else on the planet....
More to come later..... goto go!
Moto feeds at all levels. It does not matter who domonates the market. They produce some of the best RF ICs and Xstrs in the buisness. Part of Motos problem is that they are sometimes competing with there customers. They also develope a lot of technology in partnership. This means that the will sometimes enter a market disadvantaged by having to do things different then they would like to. In the long run, this is not a problem but for the short term, it means problomatic equipment. The other historic problem with Moto is its inability to market consumor equipment. It is truley amazing that they have the name recognition that they do. The pagers ubiquitousness was due to quality, price and production rates that totaly swamped any competitors. It had nothing to do with advertisment or marketing prowes.
I could go on having a little bit more then casual knowledge of the internals of Motorola. But I must finish off some code or else 3G might be farther delayed by lack of test equipment!
Note that the name canola is a marketing thing. It was created to avoid using the proper English name which is "Rape Seed"!!!!!!!

Look the damn artical was written by a buisness reporter with a very apperent agenda. I have been studying the techniques used by journalists to create their "truth" despite the facts for almost 15 years. I've learned the smell of distortion, and this artical smells worse then my dog after he has had too many jalepinios. Okay so one server did'nt get up because it used hardware from an obsoleat (probably beta) specification, big deal. Remember this demo was hastily thrown together with limited resorces at a time when most manufacturers are concentrating on what is making money today and not on what will make money tomorow ( becaus of articals written by techophobic morons like this one.) The other thing to keep in mind is that there is close to zero capacity for manufacturing Bluetooth compliant products as companies are just now starting to ramp up. Finding stuff to use in a demo can be a real challenge when everything is going to filling orders.
Radiolarians yes, fishes no. The fishes did not get started until the ordovician, and did not become important until the silurian ( aka the age of the fishes).
One of my buddies wrote an assembler in HP Basic back in 1976 while we were sophmores in high school. We used Model 25 Teletypes to connect to our highschools mainframe. He also wrote a virtual machine kinda based on the 6800.
I use my system to heat my bedroom at night, so I no longer need my space heater. The point is that any estimate of the impact of the internet on power is only goining to be based on power consumption and not take into acount the power that the internet has alowed to be saved.
Score:4 Insightfull? My ass. This kid knows nothing about software development. Managment techniques and development tools needed for predictablity are just now coming on line. Ergonomic, enviromental, and cultureal conditions that impact software development are not well understood. Despite what hidebound upper managment thinks, software is way different then any other thing that mankind has ever done. I have a new manager. He has never managed software. How do I explain to him that a phone call at the wrong time can set me back half a day. My previous manager, also a non-programer understood the levels of consitration that progmers sometimes need. This is a rare thing. He once waited in my cube for 30 min for me to come up for air. I was so zoned on my work, that I did not notice him, and he just sat, not wanting to break my consentration.
UML and CRC cards are fairly new and most programers are not yet familure with their use, let alone the managers. Without tools like these, the design phase of a software project is impossible, and with them, just improbable ( we have a long way to go). After 20 years, I have gotten pretty good at predicting my time requirements. Stated_Estiment = My_Estiment * 4.
From my perspective, Bluetooth is right on schedual. In fact after today it will be a little tiny bit ahead of schedule. I am at work today because I needed a break from the holidays. The project I am currently on will be a major piece in the manufacturing infrustructure of Bluetooth. The whiners at wired have no undestanding of the development cycle of a technology like Blutooth, that requires the coordination of many players including govermental agencies. Their opinion is of no value. In fact, if they do not understand new technologies, what do they understand? Probably nothing. I'll bet the average 15 year old/. reader/poster could do a better job of writing a techy mag!

Excuse me but MS stole the idea for COM from IBM, and molested it in the process.
