PC routers are for people who don't see why they should waste money on a dedicated routing device when they have a P90 lying around that is already paid for. Annual salary has nothing to do with it.
Since you can't run the newest games on any of those, it's not really an issue. Native ports won't happen until there's enough of a market and there won't be enough of a market until there's enough users and there won't be enough users until there's enough apps and so on in an endless loop.
The above-mentioned apps are to break this unfortunate cycle and get people on to Linux, which must be a good thing.
Or "I don't like Windows based on comparison with half a dozen alternatives that I have used on a regular basis (i.e. not merely a home Linux network that you can connect Windows boxes to) and therefore in my professional opinion Windows is a mess"
Privatise everything, yeh that'll work. Just look at the UK for some great examples of the private sector making an even bigger mess of things than the public sector could ever hope to.
They will wake up and drink til they sleep until they get help breaking that addiction.
Not quite. I'm an alcoholic, but I don't drink to excess and only do it in my spare time. However a day without a drink is unimaginable to me. I'm not quite as addicted to alcohol as I used to be to cigarettes, but nevertheless I am still addicted.
Although the non-proprietary GSM seems to have worked fairly well (outside the US at any rate)don't you think? 3G is a mess because the licenses were bought at the height of the internet/telecomms boom for far more than they were worth with pretend money that dried up when the market fell.
Geeks are always the first buyers of new tech, often at the inflated prices manufacturers need to cover development costs and therefore allows them to bring down prices for the masses. CD players used to be a expensive toy too.
But how many good ideas and good companies will get stomped in the mean time. I see little sign of Microsoft disappearing from the desktop any time soon, due to the high applications barrier to entry and their determined squashing of any technology that threatens this.
Which would wouldn't be too hard to put on a pull-down menu, which is what most desktop users are used to. So why isn't it?

Which is pretty much what the House of Commons is like most days, since our representatives are off making money somewhere else instead of doing the job we're paying them to do.
It's their job to ensure that their application doesn't crash on something so trivial. The user should not have to be aware of every bug and the work-around just to use an application.

Of such things are flame wars born.......

Or is that too difficult to understand Mr. Troll?
Helps if the licensee's mother is part of the legal department though I would have thought.
Microsoft, tanks for the agile warmonger.
Wasn't Bill Gates' mother a lawyer at IBM at the time?
As for outsourcing - why don't you just go back to school and educate yourself into a position that is too specialized to be outsourced?
Sorry, I'm too poor to do that, my career has been shipped off to Bangalore so I need to work myself into a mental ward in order to pay my bills.

Being able to do on-call work from my local pub via a laptop with a UMTS card would be quite nice :)

It's jointly owned by a number of governments and multi-national corporations.
If Ross was sacrificed to the God of Crap TV Characters I would probably like it too.
Same reason the ultra-bulletproof zSeries are set up the same way. Shit happens, and when it hits the fan, you want a spare fan.
It's Hollywood. Releasing a film without people screwing in it is anathema to them.

Is it? Given the incompetence of our secret services I'd be amazed if that were true.

Damn right it is. I've seen one mainframe crash in 13 years of working on them. 13 days, however, seems to be the average Windows screw-up.
It's your taxes that pay for the emergency services to scrape said stupidhead off the road though.....
Leverage is a noun. Please stop using stupid businessman-speak.
