Ahhh.... that makes sense, hense the term con-*artist*;)
Personally, I don't agree with you on what constitutes art, but since I can't provide a clear definition of what art is, I won't argue too much. Perhaps that is the problem, people don't have a clear definition of what constitutes art, so people start calling things in the gray area art. Eventually, they stretch the word so much, that the word becomes fairly meaningless. Don't even get me started on "poetry";)
It doesn't matter if you are the first person or the n'th, it is still *not* art. This is a pretty cool stunt, but to call it art is ridiculous. None of the stuff you mentioned is art. I took a dump last night, I suppose you would consider that art too. You can praise this guy for what he did if you want, but don't call it art.
The Zaurus comes with apps for handling word, excel, and powerpoint files. Although, I must admit that I never actually tested them to see how well the file filters work.
It should be a fairly easy transition considering that they are moving from IRIX. For the most part, any custom stuff they developed should port without that much trouble. I'm a software engineer, and within the past few months I switched my main development machine from an aging SGI O2 to a spiffy Linux machine (dual athlon 1800mp, 2 75GB hardrives, 2GB RAM, DVD+RW, 20" viewsonic flat panel). The benefit of newer hardware at a lower price can easily make up for the slight inconvenience of switching. Of course, this would be a lot harder transition if Windows was involved because porting then would require quite a bit of effort.

You can give more money than the base amount. If you pay more, you get more votes in their polls (which influence the direction they take).
I think the problems are more likely part of the qt libraries. I have a couple of Qt applications that I had to port when I upgraded. After making the simple changes to get it to compile, it suddenly had a new feature - seg faults. I hope things will be better when Qt gets to 3.0.4.
Have you ever tried to program for PalmOS? I have and all I can say is yuck. These cool things have embedded Qt (Qt is almost a joy to program with). The syncronization problem could very well be a problem with the PC and not with the PDA. Don't cut this thing short just because some twit from the WallStreet Journal didn't like it.
"Fundamentally it means that you are free when your friend says 'hey, that looks nice, can I have a copy?', you can openly and lawfully make a copy for your friend. You are not reduced to doing that as an underground activity in fear." Is it just me, or does this statement sound like if a friend asks you for some software, you will automatically give it out whether it is legal or not. I wish he'd be more careful with how he states things like this, otherwise it is going to be hard to shed the reputation that free software users are all a bunch of software pirates.
Most people I know that like linux, assemble their own computers rather than buy from a major company. I remember when I was looking to buy a laptop, I noticed that IBM only offered linux on their thinkpads that cost at least $3000.
Companies don't seem to really commit themselves to preinstalling linux and do a shoddy job with their offerings. When that doesn't work well, they then conclude that their is no market and drop it completely.
I could be wrong, but I don't think he was really appearing as somebody from RedHat, but more like an industry expert who just happens to be from RedHat.
As far as I am concerned, if you can't buy it, it's vapor. Once you can buy it, or an OEM starts bundling it with something, then it is no longer vapor. It may exist somewhere, but if end users can't get it, it is still vapor. Makes me think of that saying "If a tree falls in the forest..."
If blizzard went out of business, they wouldn't care that their product lost the best part of it's multiplayer experience since there wouldn't have any effect on their anticipated revenue. Once a company stops making money off of something, they don't care if it dies, they just don't want anybody else messing with it. Of course, some (most?) of the developers would probably like to see things continue, but they are too low on the company totem pole to make any difference in corporate policy.
Get a life. I never said it *was* a mouse. I said mouse-like and meant it in the sense that they are both pointing devices. Since the mouse is the most common pointing device, it is reasonable to compare other pointing devices to it.
But everytime that you buy a computer with Windows installed, that means more money going to Microsoft. Why should thay be making money off a license which isn't going to be used?
Face it, whatever you buy, something better will be out within a couple months. Do yourself a financial favor and resist the urge to buy the absolute newest card on the market. If you buy something that is a step or two behind the leader, it will be useful almost as long and will cost a lot less.
Of course, it is difficult to give up on the bragging rights of having the best card out there.
This distro is not about cross-platform, it is about optimization and being up to date. VMs have their advantages, but they also have plenty of disadvantages. The most obvious is speed. You still have to make a VM for each platform that you want to support and these all need to behave the same or your supposedly cross-platform code won't work correctly on all platforms. Java is a good example of strange things happening because of differences in VMs.
So, your idea of a solution just trades certain problems for different problems, and also makes everything run slower than WindowsXP on a P166.

Your mention of a groin kick made me picture Bill Gates getting nailed in the jewels. Thank you. Happy thoughts like that really brighten my day.

It could be worse. At least it doesn't have that vulgar m word on it (i.e. Microsoft).

Umm... so you're saying various forms of media eat open source

Dude, he's talking about a notebook computer's builtin mouse-like device. It's not the same argument as simply replacing an external mouse.

Read the article. This has nothing to do with identification- it is about projecting an image onto the retina for viewing.

Actually, PalmOS has a multitasking capable kernel. It's the interface that for all practical purposes makes it single threaded.
