This only shows how open-source is a better economic model. Red Hat profits from their own work, in addition to the work of many others like IBM, SGI, HP, Oracle and Sun.
Sun, on the other hand, also has to develop hardware (curring edge hardware, BTW). Their operation is far more costly.
It's sad when a western-with-spaceships passes for good sci-fi. A real sign there was nothing good being done in this space and for this public in a long time.
Having a civilian to combatant kill ratio of 10 to one, killing women and children more or less indiscriminately is no way to win support for the ones on the receiving end of the most bullets.
Israel should find a better way (maybe with covert operations against critical Hamas militants) to fight this war.
The way it is it is a disaster both for the Palestinian civilians stuck between Hamas and the Israeli and for Israel in the long run. Lets just imagine what happens if two Palestinians out of the families of every ten killed civilians in Gaza decide to join Hamas. The only way Israel is going to win this war is by killing each and every Palestinian, their brothers, sisters, cousins...
This is plain stupid.
And no. I don't believe the US government was behind 9/11, but they sure had intel on the attack before it happened. Maybe it couldn't be prevented, but US agencies never did much anyway.
And that is more than 10 times longer than my 1MHz Apple II did in the early 80s. And it booted from a floppy disk that's orders of magnitude slower than even the hard-disks we had then.
"How many Israeli citizens do you think should have died before they went in there and stopped the Palestinians from building and firing rockets"
I would expect a Palestinian to Israeli death rate less than 100. Killing thousands of civilians in order to neutralize a "force" that kills less than a dozen civilians the other side of the border every year is sure a bit of an over-reaction.
And, after such an over-reaction, leaving many children without parents and parents without their children, do you really expect them to stop? They won't. I wouldn't. There are not many things you have to fear more than a man that has nothing to lose.
It's Sprint for the launch. They didn't say how long it would last.
And you are not counting the international GSM version that's bound to come some day. Palm has been selling unlocked Centros lately. Mine was GSM and unlocked.
Early in my career I worked in a computer distributor for HP (mostly big corporate and government contracts) where all first and second tier managers were from an evangelic church and held a kind of a cult before work started.
I declared myself an atheist (actually, I joke I lack the faith required to be an atheist) and had no problem. They respected it.

If you refuse to make a profit, you can't blame those who don't when they make one by offering useful services to a large community.
It really depends on your workloads. I see SPARC boxes running rings around x86 boxes the same price range on highly parallel workloads.

You know... The relevant part is not about how much you sell, but how much of a profit you make from those sales.
13B in sales won't help if you had 14B in expenditures over the same period.
"(although he didn't measure that)"
Most probably because XP can't do 8 cores.
"Whats up with this camera guy"
Did you watch anything beyond the pilot?
And, IMHO, both were really bad.

So... Are J. J. Abrams and Chris Carter Cylons?
No. They should do a targeted effort.

It's not like you can't download Palm software from thousands of different places.
Sure the store is great, but so is choice.

"Chances are if they come too close to be an iPhone killer they are using some of apples patents."
Apple and Palm probably have a cross-licensing agreement. Remember PalmOS uses a lot of Macintosh (classic) technology.
Well... They can make an Eclipse plug-in, bundle a couple GNU cross-compilers and everybody is pretty much all set.
Xcode is great, but it's not that much superior to everything else to make people jump to it.
Sorry, but I don't buy the "hard to diffuse" argument. It's very easy to diffuse almost any directional light source and LEDs are not that different.
Well...
It's a bunch of people teaching things that aren't true as if they were.
I can see a good connection with a lot of other churches...
The major difference is that I can't get myself to believe LRH did think their teaching were true.

That was in Brazil, early 90s.
Tickling may be construed as torture. You should try waterboarding.
"I feel bad for Microsoft"
I don't. Let them die.
OpenSolaris has a lot going for it.
It has a Gnome desktop, an APT-like package manager and a userland that rivals most Linuxes.
And, while thatÂs not as important in notebooks, ZFS is a real killer FS (unlike Reiser 4)
Windows sales (OEM and customer) are about 30% of their bottom line.
They would have to be very brave to give away Windows licenses.
"an amorphous community which technically doesn't have anything really tying it together beyond the OS"
How about love?

Actually, by being licensed under GPLv3, I think OpenSolaris is a morally superior choice.
Douglas Rain, did, but that was a male computer.
And we all know he (the computer) had a few nasty glitches.
