There is one fundamental problem with this great idea. That is, how do they go about converting the millions of cars in the world to be able to use this !
wow, One terabyte for address space . Think of all pron that can hold !! But seriously, thats great to have the ability to use that much, but who will is the really important question .
This guy should have made sure his case was airtight before going up against some big companies. Perhaps he was just trying to make a name for himself and get noticed for his work.
Whats up with the Linux zealots who cant over their hatred of Windows to realize that some of Windows interface IS ok. There I said it. Not everyone wants to fool with config files or search for which dir the services/daemons are installed in (I personally dont mind, but having a CONSISTENT OPTION is nice).
I think this is a great idea because
1) You have a very familiar interface for newbies migrating to Linux
2) You could use this to eliminate some distro problems by overlaying the same interface to access services and programs over everything
3) I dont care what any Linux zealot says, but I think any reasonable person would prefer the BEST of both worlds in Linux and Windows
4) Its all about consistancy, and ease of use. If you dont want to dick around with/etc/hosts.allow , I shouldnt have to, there should be a GUI to allow me to easily modify everything if I so CHOOSE.

Say what you want, but IE has it good points, as does the whole Windows OS
I'd suggest you show your boss the results of various studies on lack of sleep and overworking (such as here)
Its not only detrimental to you, its bad for the company because you can introduce lots of mistakes into your code when your overworked
Your boss just has to see the downside to a overworked employee, and how it'll effect him (ie: poor code comes back to bite him).
I know many of the times I've pulled 18 hour coding binges, I've ended up doing more damage than good.
Why dont consortiums like this put up money to create research hubs in places people ACTUALLY want to go (ie: near Miami, San Diego). Who the hell wants to move out to the sticks in NY to do research ? I think they would get more people if they moved it closer to a big city where people would have more to do on their off time, than tip cows on the weekends. Why not start a research hub in South Dakota, researchers would love to move there.
They should have a system that sends emails with a URL to confirm you have seen it, or they could go the spammers route and just add 1x1 images to detect if you've opened it
I think everyone reading this should get off their arse and call Senator Hollings office now to 'give them a piece of your mind' or complain. I just called and the lady said she would pass my message on to the Senator (yeah right) Do something people !!!

Has Trasmeta actually produced anything to this day that rivaled the hype surrounding their appearance on the scene ?
No. This aquapad sounds like it would make an excellent liner for my bird cage
I'm on the fence on this one. What does a company do when users start to eat of major chunks of bandwidth that start to eat into their revenue ? People should definately be given lead way, but realistically, someone has to pay for the 2 gigs of pron your downloading at the end of the day.
I wonder what the people that bitch about this would say if Rogers said that they were about to go out of business because of the bandwidth hogs eating their revenue ? Could you still be indignant ? Just a thought...
I wonder if the OPEC cartel watches research like this like a hawk. I think it would foolish if they didnt, being as though, they have trillions at stake. That being said, would you try to impede such research knowing that said technology could make your residual income dissapear ?
What someone needs to do is to setup a system
where people can easily move money from their
bank accounts to their web account. Once this is setup, and FDIC insured and etc., people can then move small amounts of money to support these causes Timothy talks about helping. This way, you eliminate and Visa charges and etc.. It would help if such a business was non-profit so that people could just make micro-payments without all the hassle of worrying about their money and etc. Just my 2 cents for a viable solution
If I were developing something, I'd try to implement some sort of micro-payment plan. Yes I know its already been tried...
It's better to at least hope for someone to transfer $1 via Paypal than expect many people to just donate arbitrary sums of money, which is much harder.
The reason why the big companies are taking over is because people dont know of anything else to go to. The average user only knows of the big name sites from TV and etc.. This isnt surprising

Wow, Now all the need to do is automate this, and post it on Kazaa so everyone can make there own drink automotons !
I wasnt going to be doing anything until I saw the XP linux link on /.
I'm downloading it now to work on it !!

I think its great that some college finally offered this degree so that people can get a jump start on promising areas like this.
Waiting until people start graduate school is such a waste generally

You'd think software that provides such critical service would be thoroughly tested.
