Yeah, like that will work. It would be great, but think about it. I kinda doubt that many managers are telling their employees that they are required to work free overtime. They're giving them deadlines that are unrealistic in the amount of work hours/week paid. So what do you do, start up a Bureau of Unrealistic Deadlines? Life sucks and there are injusticies in the world: get used to it.
Unified home directories between boxes. Every box I have at home has unified home directories. Also, there's a universal repository mounted on every Windows box as R: and every BSD/Linux/Solaris box as/repository. These are accessible to the Windows boxes via Samba. This is hosted off a box that has a mirrored RAID setup, so my household has fairly safe, universal data storage. It makes life very convenient.
The output framebuffer colorspace is _NOT_ what matters, 32-bits is plenty. The problem that you run into with 32-bit precision math is that you get rounding errors that affect the quality of the output when layered calculations are being done in the graphics pipeline. Every transparency, pixel shader, and lighting effect you apply to the same 32-bit number, the more lossy it becomes. The 128-bit colorspace alleviates this problem, because the rounding errors are made so much more minute.

The G4 has 3 parallel floating point execution units, so the theoretical peak is actually 198 GFLOPS. Also, The LINPACK performance number from beowulf-style clusters is derived from the aggregate total performance of each node. This puts true single-image systems at a disadvantage, since real applications use quite a bit more latency sensitive and interconnect bandwidth intensive.
The PCI Bus on consumer systems is 32-bit @ 33MHz.. therefore peak bandwidth around 133Megabytes/sec (not including bus switching latency). Just enough to fit about a gigabit of bandwidth in.
Frankly, at this point, I'm all done being patient. I want an adult in charge, put the fist down and say, "universal broadband access, no excuses." If welding together enough of these separate bean-counter telecoms creates the opportunity at the national level for this to occur, I'm all for it.
So even if you aren't going to make them any money, they should run fiber out to your cable concentrator and give you broadband. Right.
Open source code really tends to be more readable and less kludgey. Coders tend to be more careful about code that a) they are writing for themselves and b) can be viewed by the public:).
I like being an ass... so I'll tell you how the command-line JIT really works. The compiled class is JIT'd every single time you run it. You're mistaking the way the command-line JIT works (like Java) with the way ASP.NET works (like JSP). ASP.NET compiles and JITs the source every time the source is changed, but doesn't require subsequent recompiles, as long as the source stays the same and the server stays up.
Income caps? That's a good one... Most people who have large salaries deserve it. If you actually worked somewhere worthwhile, you would see that 90% of people at the bottom deserve to be there (playing Fantasy Football for a good portion of the day comes to mind). It just sucks that the other 10% didn't kiss enough ass to get to the top.

That's the funny thing about missile defense in almost all cases. There are so many far simpler ways to screw stuff up.

I disagree, this is a clear case of Layer 1 Denial-of-Service by Microsoft zealots. It's so obvious.
