While dual booting is 'an' answer, it is certainly not the best answer. The best answer would be to work with and pay/support the Opendarwine folks so they can get windows applications running natively in OSX as if they were 'supposed' to be there. Dual booting is a pretty heavy handed solution when all you need to do is open up 1 or 2 pieces of software and STILL desire to have your OSX applications available.
and has been spiralling Sun turd style down the toilet for years. The company has a decreasing number of products that actually generate money because McNealy believes that his enemy is still Microsoft and the best way to defeat Microsoft is to give products away for free. I honestly think he needs to evaluate his business model for both software and hardware while Sun still has cash reserves and brands that the market cares about because he is pissing away a lot of goodwill with his ludicrous 'unique selling proposition'.
Of course it will hurt. Microsoft is a publicly traded company. Investors aren't going to want to watch millions of dollar of revenue evaporate every day. Hell at $75million per month, if Microsoft wants to hinder competition they'd do better GIVING products away.
And look forward to one day getting PalmOS off my Treo and putting a more capable and supported operating system in its place. Please be sure you get the bluetooth stuff working:)
If you "dump" a song down to 0.99 cents, its like to sell MORE units than less. If you want to threaten an artist, threaten to sell his next CD at $2 a song. Then he'll be hurtin.
Nevertheless, all they really need to do is deal with these sorts of issues in the contract and change the royalty rate accordingly.
Have the also been able to survive reentry?

Because clearly having it survive in space is not in itself enough for life to migrate from planet to planet. Somehow it must survive reentry or else its a moot point.
Indeed. Basically what this means is that the way to get around this process is likely going to be hardware to emulate the hardware that's causing you problems. Its getting less and less likely that a raw software hack is going to be the solution going into the future.
countdown to the "Speed of light performance myths", "temporal over clocking", and bootleg computer makers using the lightbulbs from easy bake ovens as processors.
Because release makes it sound like they are imprisoned, trapped, and want to be freed from their current working environment/capacity - like they are doing them a favor.
Good, somebody said it because I was wondering how they were going to crank up the brightness MORE than than the brightness of my monitor. That just seemed to be impossible.
I might believe that... if the "PDA only" devices were actually stable as well. I dunno. I've used devices based on Symbian OS that didn't reboot themselves constantly or do a soft reboot when a phone call ended... and then rebooted again with the radio off, and then again with the radio on.
I'm no longer interested in anything that runs Palm OS and not particularly interested in anything from Palm. My Treo650 has been a marginal buy at best and Palm isn't interested (or hasn't shown any interest) in making it do all the things they advertised it would do so I'll vote with my dollars and get something from SonyEricsson. Hopefully the device after the P990 won't be as bad at the current one is (in hardware design).
SO since we can't digitize goods and services and trade them in some online barter system, you're saying that Paypal shouldn't be used for anything right? (since all payment transactions involve using money)
Two heavyweights throwing countless dollars down the drain trying to one-up each other and giving away tons of stuff to the development community? Best war ever:)

Indeed. The real problem with the WindowsCE/WindowsMobile devices is that they cost a grand without contract or around $600 US with one. Price is the thing keeping them from being widely adopted.
Not necessarily. There are companies that survive by selling their products at the lowest price point, and do so by pushing volume. Its a simple equation that many business seem to forget. High prices will keep volume low which means you HAVE to keep your prices higher. Volume will allow you to distribute the same product to more people at a lower price. Hell its one of the reasons why Walmart has been kicking many businesses in the a$$ for years.
I wonder how much it actually cost the Russian space agency to put him there and bring him back (safely) a week later. Could it be that the Russian space agency has established a decent tourism business for space where they are actually turning a decent profit?
Finally, Google knows that open source is a huge catalyst. For the $5,000/student they paid it would of probably cost Microsoft $50,000+ to do the same work. That basically means that for every million dollars Google puts in, they cost Microsoft $10million. It's a bit like the CIA funding the mujahadeen to fight the soviets, it probably cost them $1 to inflict $10,000 worth of damage onto the soviet economy (eg a $10,000 stinger missile launcher taking down a $10,000,000 helicopter).
Not really. While certainly there are some cost savings involved, the work generated from the average college intern (which is really what they are) is not in the same ballpark as a fulltime employee working an entire year being paid $50k. If it were, much of the computing field would quickly find itself out of work:)

Okay mods, how can someone correcting themselves in their own post be trolling, yet the original post be marked insightful?

They are certainly creating no cost alternatives, but I'm not sure if you can in good faith call them "open" alternatives.

Yes, because we all know that the Java application is spending most of its time rendering :rolleyes:

Go to www.lwjgl.org or puppygames.net. Play some of these games written in Java running on hardware accelerated OpenGL.
Proof is in the real-world applications, not arbitrary micro benchmarks.
