If you invest every time you get that feeling about a product, you can't go wrong. Screw technical analysis, day trading, etc. Buy comapnies that make stuff you think is cool.
WTF? Opensource is a licenceing method, not a way for people to work together. It encourages people and companies to contribute to work others started because they know it will not be used for the benefit of one, but the benefit of all.
I fail to see the similarity to bloggers, who seem (at least the majority)to be more concerned about getting people to pay attention to them.
"game developers which are notorious for there lack of desire to change"
Tell me about it. All the game developers I know are always "640k polygons a second should be enough for anyone!", and "pixels smaller than your thumb detract from gameplay!" or "why would anyone want stereo!?". Losers. Developing finacial software is so much more bleeding edge. Why, some of our kids don't even know FORTRAN! They don't even realize that it was the demand for bigger and bigger spreadsheets that delivered those fancy video card GPUs!
I second that. Sound is totally unacceptable. If my browser runs into sound, it plays on the X client in the other room through the stereo, which is often turned up loud. Not cool.(especially on porn sites:-)
I refreshed a few times and saw a few vonage ads, but none played sound for me...
No one is demanding free wifi as a right. This is an investment by the city, just like roads and education are. It is only being considered for the (possible) increase the local economy.
There are several reasons why Python is a good choice for such a thing. The Python licence allows any commercial project to embed it without releasing code. So rather then develop a custom solution (ie; UnrealScript), one comes ready made, and complete. And there are lots of reference books about. I did some modding in UnrealScript, and documentation was _very_ hard to find, and incomplete when you did find it.
Python intergrates well with C/C++. Amazingly well, actually, and I think any C/C++ coder should go through the tutorial, and see what python can do for you. Yes, I know other enviroments promised the same thing before, but Python delivers.
Python is powerful, but easy to learn. Personally, I think we should be teaching kids Python in elementary school. And if it's your first language, you won't get all hung up on the whitespace thing.
Anyone coding an app that could benifit from a scripting language needs to take a look at python.
I doubt that google removed your page in response to a complaint from gateway, for several reasons. Doing so opens Google up to being sued by you, model numbers of comupters become less relevant rapidly, and a drop of several 100 in a set of 8,000,000,000 (or 4m, back then) is insignificant.
"
Last fall, IBM and Sony said they were developing a workstation based on Cell chips, which is the first product IBM will ship based on Cell."
Regardless if this is the first product shipped or not, a workstation is coming. I can't see it running anything but linux. Given the mass market targeting of the cell, I hope Sony makes a strong go at grabbing the market with cheap hardware, rather than trying to milk the high-end content creation market first.
Heat varies markedly with usage. Different types of proccesing use different sections of chip, so what you're doing can make a difference. 3D games tend to get a chip as hot as it will get. Also stuff like BOINC.
I thought it interesting that the recent release of details about Sonys Cell said that the chip had 10 temp sensors on board, presumably to shift processing away from areas getting too hot.
Objective-C is far more appealing to a C programmer than any other language I've ever seen. It only takes an afternoon to learn, if you know C and OOP concepts already, and is fantasticly flexible.

This is your last polite response. :-)

You're mostly right about MacOS. Where did you get the 'ties with openBSD' bit from, though?

I, for one, entirely agree that wikipedia is a Great Thing. Anarchy producing value, awesome.

When did they start breeding goats with spiders?
Well, it's not the operating system. It's the GUI to an operating system, that happens to be (too) tightly intergrated with the kernel.
Looking at it from the *NIX world, the idea of a X server/WM that can take advantage of 3D accel seems more like the great feature it is.

OS X was the best thing to happen to GNUSTEP, as it gave them a target to work towards.
