And we return to my suggestion to have a benevolent dictator looking after the brand-name edition of the tree, and including and excluding particular changes. I don't know Microsoft's internal structure at all, but wonder who that lucky person is, if there is someone in that role. I'd additionally suggest a Wiki-like browser for the tree which supplies information from the code-base about the interfaces so that amendments don't create incompatibility; it would require a small step from this to have an IDE read these files and insist you follow the now-in-the-tree edition of the API.
Microsoft's system is possibly most broken becuase, I suspect, there is no benevolent dictator preening and pruning the definitive Windows source tree. I'm stunned by the line about the source code tree not being able to handle the number of users. If they don't have the right tools for the job, why haven't they created them?
I didn't ask during the last two times, but is anyone else getting high processor usage reading Ars Technica's journals? I have a few open in tabs and find that (with win32, GB language pack) some of the adverts cause high processor usage. I suspect that's a JavaScript thing. Anyone experience the same or can confirm?
The Merom chip is dual-core and has ludicrous amounts of power-controlled cache, which turns off when not in use, and the Centrino platform is highly efficient. AnandTech tested an MSI S271recently, which is bested for computing power by an Asus notbeook with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo chip but, being a 12-inch ultra-portable using integrated graphics, the MSI runs longer than the Asus which has GeForce Go 7700 graphics.
The new MacBook Pro is what I wanted in March when I bought my Turion 64 notebook.
And you're behind the times: I have the next pre-release Linux -1day from the garbage bin of the linux company. It's called Vista dog. They don't even know if someone's built a computer powerful enough to run that sh..
You may start to see two classes of computers emerge one for graphics and one for standard use. The companies perfer to blur the line so some idiot running Office thinks he needs the fastest thing on the market but people are already getting wise causing a slow down in sales.

I wasn't aware that I advocated a viewpoint for argument. Thank you for taking issue with me anyway, and thank you for pointing out that the additional power makes the iPod suitable for the hard-of-hearing. I agree that personal responsibility is being ignored for a fast-buck legal suit.
What do you want the wireless features to do? Speak to your Airport Express base station? I can't think of another use for it -- as Apple are loath to let people share music (or haven't found the way to do it nicely between users while also appeasing their Media Overlords) and charging the thing means it needs to have wired connection at some point, which permits far faster syncing than present wireless technologies. In light of the coming 802.11n standard, syncing wirelessly and sharing files may come to the iPod.
Jobs requested it during development (and, like I said above, Jobs is apparently a little hard of hearing); the iPod is the best-seller and most people don't relise that it's dangerously loud. You're right to say that people should make sure that the thing is adjusted best for their own comfort.
The story I heard was that, during development, Steve Jobs requested that the iPod have higher maximum volume levels because he has reduced hearing sensitivity, and people rocking with their iPods at 11 are losing their hearing.
It's odd that the only people I know trying the same thing (Castle Technology's Iyonix) charge £600 (about $1100) mostly because of their cost overheads selling only to the UK. They're also the zombie of Acorn Computers.
BTW: I'd suggest the name be International Mozilla Hardware Operation. IMHO.
I run Ubuntu Edgy plus Beryl compositing window manager (the community-maintained fork of AIGLX + compiz) using the 'radeon' driver on my x700. Free as a bird.
In light of comments here about PostgreSQL being superior (and F/LOSS) technology but MySQL being used because of "MCSE weenie mentality", are you, Mårten Mickos, concerned about the complacency of 'good enough' technological solutions or that Free/Libre Open Source Software may never remove the entrenched market leaders?

You know that the kids will be using it to share pr0n. Sample usage: "I'll squirt Jenna for you, you can squirt me something of yours. And FFS not the Goat Man."
I suspect the GP meant 'standard of living', not a reference to sexually-transmitted infections. A rich country with a high standard of living will have economic prospects for internet-based businesses started in a few years by grown-up OLPChildren.
The goal is portable infrastructure, simple enough that children can learn about computers and learn to develop software systems, and even give Free Software a leg up in under-developed nations. I suspect it was what the tech crowd could do while everyone else was trying to Make Poverty History. One final thought: if you didn't learn to program your 8-bit computer (or whatever the alternative, perhaps it was an OLPC 2B1), would you be a programmer today?

Write diffs to only update the areas which change.
I thought you need Vista Enterprise or Vista Ultimate to run under virtualisation as Vista Basic and Vista Business don't support it.
I heard that rms' natural scent is licensed under the GPL and that it's a violation of Freedom Zero to wash away the sources of the odour.
Watch out for the shady salespeople from Redmond. Don't buy unless it's a flying enchanted chair...
You could put GRUB4dos in your C:\ drive, reference it in the C:\boot.ini file and manage the menu.lst of OS's using WinGRUB.

But Netcraft confirms that not a single iPod serves web pages (nor does Rockbox). Surely it is dying. QED.
