Question of the day? Is RoadRunner Planning on actually training their staff? My guess is yes. But if not, is this an attempt to slow Microsoft? I'm doubting that one, but it would be very cool to see someone else thats very large battle the Microsoft Empire!
Will this battle ever end? 5 Years ago I heard people telling me that Linux was going to take over as a desktop operating system, and squash Windows 95 technology. Well, I didn't believe them at the time, and I still dont see it happening. I don't think we should really worry about making 1 operating system the most popular. Just make it work, and make it interoperable with other operating systems. I like to use linux because it gives me alot of versatility, and also gives me a better view of my network when something goes wrong
On the other hand, Microsoft's Media Player is pretty pimp considering it will open about any video compression scheme I throw at it.
The operating system you use is your choice. Let the less savy use Windows, because thats what they want, an easy OS.
I am already imagining some practical applications for this. Kind of fits well with that robotic cat(dog?) that was released in Japan not too long ago. Though if I was gonna use it for a robotic pet, I wouldn't use legos, I'd hack something togather with a stuffed tux and use red LED's for eyes. Now thats home protection! =P
I've often wondered if I should be taking pictures of my children with my digital camera, or on a standard film camera. Obviously they aren't 'historic' =P, but its just something I wondered about =)
I'm sure that would be the easiest way, but then you've got to go all the way out to space first. I'm not sure what would be considered a 'practical application' for this technology. I guess if you could develop a way to use it, you could probably develop a way to get it up to that Mach-5 =P
But the big problem is that scramjets only start to work at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound, or Mach-5.
I don't know much about aeronotics, but wouldn't this be a problem getting it up to speed? Wouldn't you have to bulk it with some heavy equipment just to get it up to speed if you wanted to use this in a usefull application?
Its good to see technology evolve. On the other hand, its kind of sad to see the "Most popular desktop operating system" go away from having the ability to use command line interfaces. Too bad redhat is sort of doing the same thing with all their GUI configuration tools =( I'd like to see a command driven side of XP that gives the user more power. Oh wait, the DMCA would probably throw a fit and say that 'Now XP users can easily circumvent copyright protections' >=(.
Isn't the MPAA or some other terrorist.. I mean recording organization going to try and ban this? Cuz if you can record it on your hard drive, the evil linux hackers will circumvent the copy protection and redistribute it! Pfft.. *kicks the DMCA and MPAA over to afghanistan*

Yeah, but the MPAA is afraid of everyone redistributing their 'copyrighted' material. I'm sure the MPAA will find something to bitch about
