As to the real reason for Kodak's demise, they waited too long to go digital, and they screwed it up when they did go mainstream digital.
Yes. It was a **management** mistake based on decisions made by stock-price obsessed MBA-type leaders who were absolutely, completely disconnected from their users.
Kodak had a 'cult' favorite in the Polaroid. They discontinued it, citing the 'digital revolution', right exactly at the time when people were backlashing against digital photos and **wanted** and old-school, nostalgic analog product like the Polaroid.
Everything about Kodak's decisions was exactly backwards and wrong, and it was **MANAGEMENT** who is to blame, not some dumb notion of the internet this guy is pimping.
Article author is an idiot.
Polaroid was made by Polaroid -- not Kodak. In fact Polaroid sued Kodak for patent violation (and won)
No offense to the... crowd and Windows fans, but I really hope families don't get bilked into buying Windows laptops or desktops without knowing what they might be getting into.
Until I can just plug any hardware in and get the kind of support that Windows and Mac OS X provide for it Linux won't be challenging for real.
May be true for new hardware, and winmodems (how's OS X at winmodems?). Linux often has an advantage with older hardware -- if Linux has ever supported a piece of hardware new versions of Linux generally still do.

I believe Yahoo owns Altavista
There's exactly two examples of problems with a Tesla in that blog. That's hardly "certified lemons"

Except Unit 4 was shut down and the fuel in the "spent fuel" pool is not spent.
Last update was over a year ago.
Efficient bubble sort is an oxymoron. See, for example, http://linux.wku.edu/~lamonml/algor/sort/bubble.html
Insertion sort is significantly more efficient and, IMHO, just as easy to implement.
Pandora is online. I'm listening to it now.
Many of the text books I've seen were written by community college faculty. Writing one really does not do much for your tenure case.

Turnabout is fair play.
Time must have dawned pretty recently for you.
At the dawn of time ctrl+c was cancel.
Still is for a lot of command line programs even in Win 2000

In Linux you can mount a file system noexec. This would mean that users can't run a userspace smtp client.
In fact a lot of software came via open source development particularly at universities.
Where did Emacs originate? Vi? Sendmail? Big chunks of Unix? Programmers many at universities "scratching an itch"
This includes Princeton, btw. I used to use one of their editors.
I often edit in Windoze as well. Dreamweaver seems pretty good (just started using it) but I also often use AolPress (hey, AOL didn't write it).
