You're brain is a lot better functioning than Sabah Arif, who writes about a web browser working on top of BIOS- What? I think he means Phoenix technologies which makes BIOS firmware, but never a web browser.
I used to think brand names were unimportant, but now I think it does actually make sense for companies like PalmOne to spend millions rebranding. Perhaps its all about mindshare.
Dude, chill. Your sense of humor is undermined by real bitterness. You have obviously turned to the Dark Side! Ebert is not spreading "Jedi lies," your mind has been twisted by the Dark side of the Force!
It was called Phoenix, not FoxFire! Also, marketshare isn't really an accurate term. Maybe with Opera, and iCab (which refuses to die) you can talk about a market. Personally, I'd be releived if Firefox takes over from Linux as the 'posterchild' of free software. Linux tends to confuse Joe User as to what Open Source is all about.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[the Dead Collector glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the Body with his a whack of his club]
Large Man with Dead Body: Ah, thank you very much.
The Dead Collector: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
Large Man with Dead Body: Right.
What you claim doesn't add up. If multi-talented computer engineers have "to be at the office at 3AM to deal with a crashed database server" I guarantee your in-house apps will suck, no matter how great the versioning systems are. Perhaps your company finds software development cheap now, but they're dependent on having trained employees, even if it only takes "two hours" to train them. Someday you'll face cutbacks, and the liabilities of in-house development may haunt them
I though they already discontiued that show!
It may be a lame joke, but its as informative as any ridiculous blanket statements about "the death of (insert terms) enterprise software"
I'm not dead.
The Dead Collector: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm not.
The Dead Collector: He isn't.
Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isn't: I'm getting better.
Large Man with Dead Body: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
I'm not sure what your point is in the DivX part, is that sarcastic too? With the vast library of older movies to choose from, made-for-cable movies, and pirated movies, they can't afford to withhold content. Perhaps that your point?
especially for users of the female persuasion, this is a good feature. Oh, the DIY project possibilities for rubberized, waterproof, portable electronics!
I used to watch b&w TV as a kid. I still watch old films on cable channels. I see really old movies release on DVD now. Ever hear of Charlie Chaplain? His image was used to sell the original IBM PC. What states are you talking about, altered states? God, its bad enough being reminded that I'm getting older.
Because having a powerplant held next to your head is always an iffy proposition. Not to mention because you can't just dictate policy. I think a lot of "energy" (money, really) is already being dedicated to mobile power. Just how are you measuring the urgency on this problem, by the number of posts dedicated on/. ?
that's the most clever way I've heard to call someone old-fashioned, and also suggest someone's out-of-touch and maybe superficial.
Phone sex might get really weird with this feature, though.
I'm curious about how monochrome video would look as opposed to color on such a small screen. Although it seems common enough now for phones to have small color screens, and resolution is not the problem it used to be, might B&W be simply easier on the eyes? Might old movies now have a new niche market? Unfortunately I don't have the spare $ to find out for myself!
linux always needed a 386, which was really frustrating when I first wanted to try linux.
Xenix could run on a 8086, but not 8088 (as far as I know + a quick google search)
Advertising can work indirectly (subconsciously if your prefer) I'm afraid the most educated, unbiased, professional doctors still get influenced by product placement on prof magazine, pen&pencils, magnets, "educational materials and seminars, and all the other stuff that drug companies provide. I'm afraid deliberately searching for a good doctor is no longer enough. The medical/pharmaceutical industry has to be changed, through legislation or other means. What worries me is so many doctors are confident they can't be influenced.
From 'Show Stopper': "Unix is like Cutler's lifelong foe," said one team member who'd worked with Cutler for nearly two decades. "It's like his Moriarty [Sherlock Holmes's nemesis]. He thinks Unix is a junk operating system designed by a committee of Ph.D.s. There's never been one mind behind the whole thing, and it shows, so he's always been out to get Unix. But this is the first time he's had the chance." Cutler has kept a very low profile since that book was written about him and Win NT.
The Real difference was price $40 vs $400+

And did you ever try using that basic interpreter? Couldn't do very much with it.
I suppose the restrictive licences started with Windows. Its not really an unrelated matter though, is it?

Just kidding!
You obviously think too much of yourself.
they should more carefully define "passion or hobby"

While I'm reading too much into /. posts, what exactly is it that you want to be 10' and made of rubber? Sorry, couldn't resist...

http://freebios.sourceforge.net/ Oops! Sorry about that. I'm not sure why its moved, maybe financial reasons? http://www.openbios.info/ is an attempt to implement open firmware for x86 and other architectures.
