They left out the most important sentence, that everyone from the press MUST hear when he hears about this:

I just looked what eats up memory here on my Linux machine. And the one Java process I have running, eats away 1 GB of VIRT (146 MB RES). Which is a bit mutch on a 2GB machine... The only thing that comes close, is another virtual machine: Windows XP in Virtualbox. (Can’t run them both together.) Then Firefox and Thunderbird each take 749/777 MB VIRT (206/134 MB). After that Amarok (440/38), X (344/205), etc.
And you know what I think? What the hell do those apps need all that RAM for??? That can’t all be pixel and audio data, can it? And it needs a LOT of parse trees and text to fill up even 100 MB! (Think of a 10MB XML file, to get the picture.)
So, does anyone know a way to find out, what those apps actually use their memory for? Just lots of 64 bit Bool (98.4% waste) values?;))
There is a second rule of advice that goes with this, but that unfortunately usually is forgotten:
Don’t imitate. Innovate!
Yes, it is a good idea to not reinvent the wheel. But it’s even better to invent an airplane! (You know: Thinking outside the box. “Inside the box” would be a square wheel.;)
MS employs the “upside-down pyramid” model of software lifecycle design.
It works like this: app = code(design(BASIC_ARCHITECTURE)) # original design and intentions are instantly forgotten bf = marketing.getBlingFactory(); while (sales.sell(app)) {
f = bf.getNewFeature()
management.fuckUp(f)
sales.addLockIn(f)
hammerIntoSomethingPhysicallyPossible(f,IGNORE_MANAGEMENT)
try {
code(f)
} catch (ManagementExpectsItToBeFinishedAlreadyError) {
tieTogheterLooseStrings(f,[SPAGHETTI_STYLE,IGNORE_BUG_HAZARDS,MAKE_HASTE])
}
try {
app.add(f)
} catch (DoesntFitArchitectureAnymoreError) {
p = code(new Patchwork(NASTY))
p.add(f)
app.add(p,USE_BRUTE_FORCE)
} }
So instead of doing a proper redesign and rewrite, where everything would fit nicely, they only cram more onto a tiny basis. Windows ME is the perfect example: A 32-bit extension of a 16-bit graphical shell of an 8-bit operating system coded for a 4-bit processor by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.;)
Apropos: I don’t hate iPhone users per se. I just hate fanbois. So you can calm down. Because you’re defitinely not a fanboi, but a educated person, right?:)
This would mean: two volumes (you know a volume has 3 dimensions). “3D display” is correct for the helical and some holographic systems.
Everything else is still just a 2D plane acting as a screen, in 3D space (which is why you can’t focus on blurry areas, or rotate them at will, while watching). So it’s still essentially 2D. Just stereo instead of mono. (It’s an unfortunate thing, that “stereo” is mostly reserved for audio.)
I have one such subscription (something a bit more special which is actually really nice), and I don’t have gotten more spam. (At least behind my spam filter.)
Your biggest problem will be to prevent whole star systems from falling into the black hole you would become in the process of accelerating a object with real mass like that.;)

Sure. HTML combined with CSS and Javascript / AJAX will do 80-90% of what Flash is used for.
No. XHTML5+CSS3+JS2+AJAX+DOM3+SVG+Video/Audio will not only do 100% of what Flash does. It will do more. Like being able to seamlessly embed everything that Flash does with the rest of the page. And there is no reason why JavaScript can’t be as fast or faster than ActionScript. After all it’s pretty much the same language.
Depends. Will there still be people who don’t have the balls to stand up to their customers and say: Get a real browser, or fuck off!
Interestingly you can exactly see how this would work, if those people had balls, by looking at flash support on websites: If you surf with an old Flash plugin, you will often simply get a “please update your Flash plugin“. Even on the biggest sites?
And? Does it drive away anyone? No. Not significantly. Everybody just updates Flash and is done with it.
The same thing would happen with IE and HTML5. Imagine the following: 1. You surf to Google, or YouTube, etc. 2. “Sorry, your browser is extremely outdated, buggy, and a huge security risk (read more). To protect yourself, gain millions of new possibilities, and see our site in its full glory, please update to one of those modern browsers: [List of browsers]” 3. What do you think happens? Pretty much every user will just click one of the links, wait 1-2 minutes, then click “open”, “next”, “next”, “next”, “done”, and be done with it. 4. User will never want to go back.

Isn’t that expected behavior for all MS Office programs? ;)
Ok then:

You’re mixing up terms there.
stereographic 3D
This would mean: two volumes (you know a volume has 3 dimensions).
“3D display” is correct for the helical and some holographic systems.
Everything else is still just a 2D plane acting as a screen, in 3D space (which is why you can’t focus on blurry areas, or rotate them at will, while watching). So it’s still essentially 2D. Just stereo instead of mono. (It’s an unfortunate thing, that “stereo” is mostly reserved for audio.)
A verb? It’s worse. What I’ve seen:
Photoshop -> to photoshop / photoshopped -> to ’shop / shopped -> to shoop -> and then there is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2yjhHdDjYo
I went “3 x 10^12 spam mails? That is a LOT!”
I have one such subscription (something a bit more special which is actually really nice), and I don’t have gotten more spam. (At least behind my spam filter.)
You don’t need Google at all. You essentially sell the content of your mails & co for the price of a root server with this installed: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Complete_Virtual_Mail_Server
I used this, and it’s just as good, if not better than Google’s filter. But it’s completely yours. (A huge advantage for me.)
Your choice. (No judgment from me.)
I just smash iPhones for fun. Only a dead iPhone is a good iPhone. (Has more freedom too. ;)

Have you also calculated what the mass of those 100 kg will be, when it’s at 0.99999998c?

Silly you. As if that was the biggest problem.
