Question: What part of the incident was so offensive? The volume? The mundaneness of his life? That he could afford to waste that much money? Or his belief that he was "important" enough to warrant using a phone on the plane?
I eventually had the same problem with the 166 (i think, it was the one that used 75 fsb). After a few years I had to clock it down to run.
I replaced it with a pr233 (was still a po student). Eventally, I successfully overclocked it to pr 266 (i forget the real speeds). And it was stable! Really! I ran that overclocked cyrix for a couple of years without probelms until I could afford a athlon.
1. Bounties on a specifc needed driver or feature. Split it up into say 5k or 20k or whatever prizes awarded to whoever does X first within certain parameters.
2. Fund 1-2 kernel or interface developers for a years full time work. Dole it out as a monthly salary so that the fund can cut it's losses if the relationship goes sour.
I picked up a x600 pro for under 200. Enough power to run HL2 at the highest settings at my LCDs native resolution, at over 50+ fps.
And that's without any overclocking. (my tests indicate it's rock stable up to 100mhz over stock speed, errors begin to occur about 25mhz or so beyond that)
A $400 card may buy you a slightly longer life span, but it's hardly required for playing modern games.
To answer your question directly, because there are people who will pay that much for one.

True, but you can make the companies who have the DBs liable for some the damage they cause. (but not take away from the liability of the actual thief at all)
This comes with OS 5.x. And Palm DOES NOT do OS upgrades. They stopped such things after OS4. Even small upgrades to the builtin apps can only be obtained by getting the next model Palm.
You are right. It is less portable. What I am (perhaps poorly) saying is that it is not less Free. Like any OSS project, it is what it is and those who need something different are encouraged to change it to thier needs.
Not that I would be capable of doing so, but that's not my field at the moment.
Also unless the article led me astray, the code is not calling on non-free libraries, but on libraries that are not yet well implemented in free JVMs. (TFA mentions patches that allow it to function with a certian alternative JVM)
You have a point there about the battles he chooses, he's no idiot. I disagree with Stallman, but I wouldn't throw a hissy fit and refuse to debate the issue with him. You and I are able to discuss in a civil manner, why can't he?
But there's nothing stopping one from existing either!. There are already JVMs that are OSS, and SUN seems to leave non-supported platforms up to those who need it to support. (kinda like linux on oddball platforms) Sounds pretty free to me.
What is Stallman's motive? Despite much FUD (that FSF comes in peace), he has made it quite clear. In the recent bitkeeper blowout he pointed out his view that making and using closed software was "immoral". (his word) What's the logical means to an end where there was no closed source software being sold? Non pure-play FOSS software companies have to be put out business or converted.
So anyone who does not go 100% his way has to be undermined, even if thier motives are not hostile. So sun decides that being nicer with thier code will be profitable in the long run. What do they get? The RMS torch and pitchfork gang telling them what functions they can use or else!
Ok, so the idea that people should be free to deal with software in the manner in which they choose is a cool idea. What about the idea that someone should be free to deal with the product of thier labor (be it, widgets or prose or code) in the way that they choose? In the RMS "all or nothing model" the two are incompatible, anything I create belongs to the world and not to me. My mind must be the source of free labor, to keep any ideas to myself would violate what RMS claims as his rights.
Who gets to decide how I distribute what I work to create, me or Stallman? The two claimed "rights" are in conflict.
It seems a lot of progress has been made in getting commericial interests to consider and sometimes even participate in open source. But it doesn't help when supposed leaders of the community insist on ralling behind a worldview that is incompatible with commercial software existing at all.

What's the fourth horseman???
Does anyone elese notice that a lot of the replies in this thread seem to belong to other submissions? What's up with that?
Hasn't worked before, why would it now?

Your property value is your problem.
Lol, I can corroborate that BofA is feeding you a load of crap. These types don't admit anything they don't ABSOLUTELY have too.

??? What? Who are you replying to??
What does this have to do with brain copying??? Is /. borked today?
It's not partisan, both "parties" just aren't willing to cut them off, no matter how much we need to.
I salute YOUR blind idolatry.
...the US-House of Saud relationship was cemented by FDR and continued by his successors both D and R. Apparanty few realize that.

No, no they don't. Regular ACC is standard, but iTunes also adds fairplay, which is Apple only.
Is that why everyone suddenly has a evil looking goatee??
How can you have an OS without a kernel??? GNU is an environment, but it's the kernel that does many of the defining functions of an OS.
Really, he's not a leader? Someone tell the FSF. And slashdot.
The problem comes in where Stallman asserts that those who do not share his view are morally wrong for not doing so.
Not that I would be capable of doing so, but that's not my field at the moment.
