No one mentioned this from what I read, but the most important thing about a datacenter is keeping everything clean. Design a clean and efficient physical layout and schema. Follow that schema, even when throwing up "temporary" appliances. Use cable management panels, NOT zip-ties and clamps.
Apple doesn't need an SDK to write apps for it. It's not like Any vendor to date has created something revolutionary for the Mac OS yet that wasn't Apple.
The few hundred (thousand?) bad apples showing the world why the open source community is viewed as elitist idiots who only lash out at problems rather than solving them.
So support PS3, cyrx86 and other obscure hardware but lets not include things like slightly uncommon LCD monitors, and a myriad of other far more common bits of hardware. Make way for more sony rootkits!
Geeks spend a few million in a secondary market for Star Trek stuff(I wish I had numbers to back it up). So I suspect they figure it's a "build and they will come" sorta thing. Except no one has come since A Final Unity, and no one plans on coming. Star Trek games probably have some off curse like even (or is it odd) numbered Star Trek movies. Except this curse uses like mod1 or something.
The functional design behind the ribbon was to keep every task to 1-2 clicks only. And they did a good job, the fact that I had to add the 'Save As' button was the only quirk that bothered me.
Most people (myself included) will suggest ubuntu, since it's a great Out Of The Box solution. But Fedora might be a good fit as well. Try out 3-4 distros and use what is most comfortable for you.
We have freedom of commerce in the US, so to mandate this would be to tell people how to run their businesses. We do have many regulations, so I understand that even in the US we have standards to comply with, but to do something like that might run some companies out of business. There is a pretty large secondary market in the phone charger & accessory markets.
I've read the article and most of the replies. What exactly are the benefits of having an open-source MMORPG? The load balancing costs, server costs, bandwidth costs will force every instance to be a pretty small one. Admitedly it's super-cool to run your own little world, so from that angle I can see a benefit. But is there some sort of greater-good benefit that I'm missing?
Sun has been as good at predicting the market in the last ten years as George Bush has been at scoring a victory over terrorism. Sun bets red and you'd be smart to bet black. It's like taking advice from Wang's CTO in 1990.
With the ubiquity of internet access comes a deeper spectrum of users, some of whom legitmately do (did) not know that using Kazaa (shareazaa et al.)to trade/download/share music is illegal. Without proper messaging from Kazaa (et al) the burden should also rest on their shoulders.
It's "Google AdWords". Not "Non-Competative Democratic Means of Displaying AdWords". Business is a method of making money, not a method of establishing goodwill with other companies in your industry.
Has nothing to do with Vista or MS. It's an industry Best Practice to wait about 12 months. Quite a few large corporations wait until it's the only OEM choice from vendors like Dell before they start a project to phase out a desktop. Not sure why this is newsworthy but then very little here is....:\
How many users does this impact?
I can't imagine the number being anywhere near 1% of it's user base, so fixing it would cost more than they stand to make.
All business endeavors are about money. Google is getting edged off the windows desktop, so they partner up with Apple to reduce the exposure to risk. A cool possible side-effect: Google helps boost Mac onto more desktops.
The article has some solid points, in fact the entire article is really just a concatenation of issues that have troubled linux as a whole. But the comments also make some valid points too. At the core of the whirlwind is will any distro become as viable a choice as Windows or Mac? As it stands now, not until software support comes to the rescue. And because no distro has an avenue to effectively lobby software makers to convince them to develop for linux, it stands to reason software support will be a very long way off. The development model for OSS lacks a cadence of accountability and so new software takes longer than consumers will stand for.

Yeah my Civic was listed as 51MPG, but it really gets around 44MPG.
I only see 50+mpg on long road trips.

Had you read the previous Linus article about having some bad cream cheese on his morning bagel, you would definately be concerned for His happiness.

The market has spoken. Capitalism accelerates Darwinism.

Pretty sure Netscape could explain how easy it is to get edged out of a market place by using exclusionary tactics.
Now they too can look up highly suspect "facts" and even submit their own "facts" to create a wonderful world of urban myths and political slander.

Wiki is a great source for fun "facts" but will never be a serious source of reference. It's very nature precludes it from being taken seriously.
