Since google/ms/etc are building new facilities there, it could actually increase the amount and percent of tax revenue coming from corporations (and therefore decrease the percentage from individuals). Even if they're paying a discounted tax rate, it's than if they were located elsewhere.
Objective C is C with a dynamic/runtime-based OO on top. C++ is C with a static/compile-time based OO on top. Plus lots of other syntactic sugar (operater overloading, references, templates, namespaces, etc). And did I mention that Bjarne Stroustrup hates the C language? Not surprisingly, there's a lot more syntactic sugar in the new standard. I hope you don't have diabetes!
"Web 3.0" stuff (gwt, sproutcore, objective J, etc) move much of the server side stuff to the client and use the server primarily for serving itself and db access.
Youth is an advantage in gymnastics. Under-16 gymnasts from other countries (who are better than those that go to the Olympics) stay home and hope they'll have a shot next time around.
Ok, a lot of people think you should fire kevin dawson for posting stories that are blatantly wrong, dupes, stupid, etc. I have a better idea: why don't you use him to filter out the crap in the firehose? Basically, everytime he approves a story, there's a good chance it sucks, so instead of posting it to the front page, delete it from the firehose.
When we wanted to analyze moon rocks, we didn't send a microscope to the moon, we brought the moon rocks to the microscope (on Earth). I think it would save a lot of time and money to just send up some astronauts to colelcts some dust and rocks and bring them back. I guess NASA needs to waste money to justify a bigger budget.
And what if you submit a Linux patch? Somebody has to approve it. Except with Linux, those somebodys have massive egos and reject outsiders (cf - yesterday on slashdot). I don't know if Solaris is any better, but being paid professionals, they're less likely to act like an asshole.
In either case, you're welcome to take the source code and start your own kernel. Try doing that with MS Shared Source 2008 (tm).
ZFS kicks ass. Sun really raised the bar with it. There are some other FSs in development (Hammer, btrfs, etc), but they don't have the full integration that ZFS does. Maybe eventually, someone will write a patch so ZFS is just a patch and recompile away in Linux (although that approach is what made minix suck back in the day). Heh, minix will probably have ZFS support before Linux does.
Aside from the money, a writing or contributing to a published book is a good line item on their cv and counts towards tenure, peer recognition, professional requirements, etc. I can't find the quote right now, but Terence Parr (ANTLR parser generator, USF professor) stated that's one reason the ANTLR v3 documentation was published rather than put up for free on the website.

does your server include an IBM repair man who will come out and hot swap parts before you realize there's a problem?
Ever eat a nice steak? mmm tasty. Ever try eating the turds the next morning? Not quite as good, is it?
So why does slashdot push 3rd or 4th hand me too circle jerk blog links instead of the original source?

putting a private browser mode on IE is like putting a shit filter on your ass. Or a lameness filter oin slashdot.
I haven't been sitting on my ass watching the olympics. Is your life really that pathetic?
opera, safari, and firefox all support canvas natively. excanvas uses vml, which is ie specific.
it makes MS and closed source look bad if Mozilla/open source fix their deficiencies.
It's funny, isn't it... all the GPL/GNU zealots talk shit about Freedom, but it's the BSD folks that quietly have the principles.
Because Microsoft is subsidizing your linux support
Better yet, R. Kelly date them. If they're 16 or over, he'll reject them.

More importantly, the IOC has taken their official stance, too.
I've heard of a similar approach used in a New York City restaurant.
the idea is that eventually, you'll copy/paste a url into your browser bar (or maybe an outgoing email).

Dock (verb): to place the foreskin of your dick over someone else's penis head.
I wasn't going to mention it, but I own a real gun too.
it's more fun than playing simon while staring at tv screen until your eyes hurt. Bonus : it makes girls wet.

in my country 'docking' is where man put penis into other man's penis. is very gay!
