- how are they efficient? okay. have you used the EPOC32 OS? their 'word' launches at least a couple of degree of magnitude faster than ones' windows CE, or palm machines (I have used Revo Plus, Series 5MX for EPOC32 machines, Palm m505, Palm V and Palm Pilot Pro for Palm thingies and a couple of iPAQs for windows CE things. When i say efficient, it is a subjective feeling - yet when many do agree to this subjective feeling, it is then plain truth, or you may say, a norm among users.
Getting 'proofs' or 'systematic study' is completely out of scope in discussion on whether something is efficient, useful or some more vague words like pleasing, satisifying, etc.
- FUD? why not. a company is obviously doing bad if they are usign this strategy to conquer the users, and obviously symbian isn't.
- I would rather say that you probably say something in disgrace of many well-intended enterpreturs out there that aims at giving the world back something while earning a living. I have no idea, nor do i want to find out whether symbian is such a company or its owner have such a determination. The problem is not the monopoly that makes a company bad, nor is oligopoly as said by you in the example of DVD forum. The problem lies on the central premise of capitalism. To me, a monopoly is nothing worse than a oligopoly, which is in turn nothing worse than a trade-organization, which is the social norm.
it is just that if a company use nasty trick to get everyone's hate on them, for me, as long as i am having quality products at a reasonable price, i am okay with monopoly or oligopoly. (clearly, CD-R and DVD-RW's in the market, while word processor is NOT. (these days you NEED to have microsoft word to do business. - though if you use wordstar, i believe you can work in legal industry for several years more somehow.))
til' now, i see several things against your point:
- the symbian company is doing a great job around, and its OS is efficient even with a relatively slow CPU. - the symbian company do not give you any of the FUD apart from your MSFT stock may go down. - Being a monopoly by itself is not wrong (mentioned in previous post), this is because monopoly is naturally an aftermath for good business (i.e. offering good products, etc.).
Finally, for your linux need:
- Anything that can run EPOC32 on it can run linux. the bootloader's there, it is a EPOC32 application that overwrites the entire RAM to do the thing. approximately 12MB of memory is needed. If a cut is required, 8MB is also possible, but with some application lost. (e.g. the GUI). last but not least, perl and vi's there. - i have seen from mailing lists that Nokia's high-tier 9 series is getting its functionality rev' eng'ed to get linux running on it as principle OS, but don't expect too much from it in a short time.
Symbian EPOC can play MP3s, if you don't mind the kbit limit at 56kbps (I have tried to cross-compile mpg123 and with some hacking, it works.) Also, you need hardware-level rewiring to change the little speakers' output into a usable 3.5mm jack, or if you don't mind, it takes a single-chip amp to give you some good sound. (i haven't tried this though. i only rewired the output to a speaker with internal amp and turn the volume to hell high to get it sound, the distortion is radio-quality.)
1. one doesn't need to be making sense to get a patent. you can find a patent relates to a algorithm that 'can compress arbitary data by at least 1 bit' (note that this results in compression of anything to 0bit (or even less.) upon recursion.
2. revocation of patent is possible but usually impractical since this requires a lot of time and money (ask your peear who's doing as a law costs draftsman and they'll tell you that.)
3. Somebody would tell you the availability of the overseas outsourcing possibility. this is still vulnerable as your business model does not change. you can help, however, if your company is based on somewhere which is not on the states though.
4. Now, IAPNAL (this P stands for presumably) The heart of the case lies on the word 'automated' with its relationship to prior art.
5. What we can do is write to progress (oh no, congress) to get somebody proposes a new patent system.
for the AMD CPU's, they use Liquid N2 with phase-change system (as described in prev. posts).
for the part of 'plasma cooling', it's similar (in non-scientific term) to laser cooling, which relates to absorbing momentum. (you may want to find some information on the plasma section of http://www.arxiv.org/ if you want to know 'bout that.)
from the infoworld report: The machine, code-named Red Storm, will require over 16,000 microprocessors to achieve that performance level, according to a researcher quoted in the Journal report.
This can be rephrased easily into

from careless observation on the code, its probably 0xffffffff processes.
experienced windows (l)users here in the asia side usually uses 3 partitions - one for windows and its applications, another for ghost and the ghost image to renew the partition for windows and applications. the thrid partition stores data like word files and icq database...

I am fine with your opinion saying BSD is not dying, yet, I would like to point out that BSD has the near-the-best kernel in the whole wide world doesn't meant that it has the best user interface, best applications ported, best usability in the world, hence it is doubtful whether it is _the_ best OS there.
I would agree that BSD is a real good arch though, microkernels, decent IP stack.
actually, the RPMs (and similarly, DEBs) of the linux systems do have their file's md5 calculated. then do the following: 1. cat all the original lines (e.g./usr/bin/whatever 0faef6a7e8f67ef6a7ef6aef7f...) of all installed packages together. 2. md5 hash all the file available using a statically compiled md5sums (assume kernel is not binary-patched, and is armed with LIDS to prevent such), and cat them altogether into the previous file. 3. use uniq to find out 'uniques'; strips out/etc and/var though. however, make sure that you actually reinstall the whole system (obviously) and not only the files if you actually got compromised.
vitamin - `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade'; helps your system functions properly. insulin - `sendmail -bp'; try to keeps the glucose (mails) out of the blood (queue) crack, lsd, heroin - really unstable kernel patches (like the preempt patch a year ago) which makes your machine go as fast (and die as fast) as hell.
put all of them into a CD, which is bootable with isolinux and each remedy (that is the pills) is a root file system to mount - easier to use, faster, isn't it. i think that almost all recent years (5 years old computers) are ok with bootable CDs.
to know how far can FBI go to protect the big guys in commercial world. I thought they won't use such plan to sue people who have killed citizens in US, but would use such plan to sue people who've only knocked down a commerical bodies' interest...
XBox is definitely not worth the hours all developers working on it just for it to boot or even a working distribution - firstly, it's not cheap, secondly, it does not have good performance (the hardware is too bad!) and basically we won't have any good out of it - we are not on the years of 'hacking' already - i believe the linux community should try to stress a little bit more on 'economical value' than 'political value' or 'hacking value'... =)
i do think you are a little bit too flamey to the chinese government. they are bad, they do not respect freedom. but they are not those who kill people just for stopping these little cafes.
Hey, you all gotta know that all those net cafes are giving REALLY bad conditions and with all doors and windows locked, bad ventilation, etc. and this is why they are not allowed to have a license. moreover, any government stopping those running illegal business is definitely correct. I believe that china is correct on this move.
Moreover, I do believe that this move is only due to the fire in beijing and not due to political reasons, this is since they've already got a proxy blocking everything they don't want their people to see... (oh what a bad act...)
to conclude, although it's true that they are _actually_ doing bad in terms of freedom, their act these days _are_ correct, and are good to people:-)

and perl code is extremely hard to defeat upon even if it's reviewed by the original programmer since it's a WORN (Write-once-read-never) language.
What about all of us in slashdot runs a simple perl script that generate a 'illegal copying' packet in background? Voila, distributed computing.
I think that this will then be a good case study for all those postgraduate fellows studying (the culture|distributed computing|ddos).. heh.
