Communism has never been tried on a global scale, which is part of why it hasn't worked out very well.
Of course it won't work, if the slaves can escape. If they can't ("global communism"), of course it will "work" -- or at least, there would be no other option and we'd be told that it's "working".
Any system that requires itself to be forced on everyone to "work" is crap.
The pie chart below is the government view of the budget. This is a distortion of how our income tax dollars are spent because it includes Trust Funds (e.g., Social Security),
"Trust Funds" don't exist. That money is part of the general budget, via sale and purchase of treasury bonds. It's moving money from one pocket to the other, then spending it, and claiming that it's in "savings".
Would it be done in Qt, GTK1, GTK2 or raw X widgets? Which printer dialogs would it use -- KDE or GNOME? Which file selectors would it use?
Sounds like programming on Windows. Would it be done with Win32, MFC, WinForms, Avalon, Adobe's on UI kit? Which of the Windows printer and file dialogs would it use -- the old old ones, the old ones, the new old ones, the Office ones, Adobe's own?
Simultaneous multi-threading [15],[16],[17] uses hardware threads layered on top of a core to execute instructions from multiple threads. The hardware threads consist of all the different registers to keep track of a thread execution state. These hardware threads are also called logical processors. The logical processors can process instructions from multiple software thread streams simultaneously on a core, as compared to a CMP processor with hardware threads where instructions from only one thread are processed on a core.
SMT processors have a L1 cache per logical processor while the L2 and L3 cache is usually shared. The L2 cache is usually on the processor with the L3 off the processor. SMT processors usually have logic for ILP as well as TLP. The core is is not only usually multi-issue for a single thread, but can simultaneously process multiple streams of instructions from multiple software threads.
1.4 Chip Multi-Threading
Chip multi-threading encompasses the techniques of CMP, CMP with hardware threads, and SMT to improve the instructions processed per cycle. To increase the number of instructions processed per cycle, CMT uses TLP [8] (as in Figure 6) as well as ILP (see Figure 5). ILP exploits parallelism within a single thread using compiler and processor technology to simultaneously execute independent instructions from a single thread. There is a limit to the ILP [1],[12],[18] that can be found and executed within a single thread. TLP can be used to improve on ILP by executing parallel tasks from multiple threads simultaneously [18],[19].
This is so stupid. They are regulating speech -- and political speech at that! The supreme law of the land says they can't do that.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Too Lazy? It's one of the shortest licenses known to man:

So, YES, Gimp could use the Adobe UI, as long as it includes the "obnoxious advertising clause".
Sounds like we're on the road to the artificial eye one of OSC's characters had in the Ender's Game series. One of its cool features was that you could pull pictures and video off of it, as well as see through it. It was an in-skull camera.
So he's spending his monopoly money for the children. Thank God someone's finally thinking of the children.
The ends justify the means only if you have a corrupt morality. If you commit a crime, but use the proceeds in some "altruistic" way, is the crime then excusable?
The Robber Barons of old used charity to improve their image. Rockefeller, for instance, handing out shiny new dimes to children.
Most "Environmentalists" are fanatics that wish to use the environment as an excuse for seizing control of society. For our own good, of course -- just like all other authoritarian reformers claim.
Seriously, science is one thing, but religion is another. An "Environmentalism" is the worst sort of theocracy-peddling nonsense.
An Airport Express is $129, plays music, and can extend a wireless network from a "base" access point several times.
$129/ea. $500/ea. Hmmm.
Maybe if someone partnered with Apple to make a hand-held "remote" for iTunes like Sonos has done for its $500 "zone players", it could be a marketable product.
How do we know they will block certain malware at all? They will probably sell access to your computer to the highest bidder, but having their anti-spyware program not list paid-for programs. Conversely, they will probably get sued for blocking certain other programs, as "restraint of trade" or some such.

"the service will require Windows XP, Internet Explorer 5 or higher, and Windows Media Player 10 or higher"
Why would Microsoft do anything else? There are no computers that don't have the latest Microsoft softwre on them.

Ah, you're right. That's what I get for not reading one of the world's shortest licenses carefully!
Hoisted! My own petard!

Heh. It's like a half-Nixon, a half-KoolAid-Guy hybrid.
So Napster-To-Go is subscription internet radio, then.

Microkernel, unix-like userspace, Nextstep-based application development?
Right here.
For the same reasons they don't use Frontpage or Visual SourceSafe, perhaps.

Guh, what a bad idea that is. The cure for a disease is not to spread it further.
Microsoft's response regarding the availablity of IE security enhancements and fixes for non-XP versions of windows was, "buy a new computer".
So, buy a new computer like you were told!
Simple changes to iTunes would put it on the same level.
