You're buying a phone that is NOT subsidized by the contract, and you're paying higher monthly fees on the contract than a comparable contract w/out iPhone service? I think ATT is creaming their pants right now.
When I think of Africa, I think of VERY large areas that, to put it mildly, are miles away from an electrical grid. How does Google plan on powering this? Unless this thing is in Nairobi (which I'm guessing it would have to be,) would they have to use solar power?
On a related topic, maybe Google will actually pay attention to Google Maps for Kenya, and especially Nairobi?
Now don't mod me troll, but remind me again, what is so horrific about paper ballots? I know Florida had a huge fiasco in 2000 with them, but that had to do with punches, not filling in a bubble or anything....
Think of it more as one of the later Hummer commercials, with the two boxing robots. You might remember the actual game, you might not. But at least they're boxing each other and not the little guys.
I believe the key word here is "Enterprise". That usually implies that there is a support staff of some sort, an IT department, and generally paid support from the software company and/or hardware company.
And with regards to CIO's not caring about desktops: When your employees' productivity decreases due to viruses, spyware, adware, instabilities, &c, you care.
I use Opera, which is already known to support existing HTML standards pretty completely and accurately.
I tried checking out my school's Business Career Center's website yesterday because I've begun to look for jobs once I probably* finish school this coming school year. I haven't tried the site with IE because I refuse to use that program, but it functions properly with Firefox. When using the latest stable version of Opera, I am able to select a menu called Jobs, which then messes up by providing a dropdown scroll box. When I click my selection (BCCnet Jobs,), the selection is highlighted with Opera but does not actually follow through with the link. When doing this under Firefox, the browser advances and I can view job listings.
Opera is fast and all, don't get me wrong. I love it more than Firefox. But that doesn't change the fact that it's broken.
He said "Conservative," not "Republican." Political parties can change philosophies, political spectrums not so much. Take, for instance, the Democrats and Republicans from the American Civil War era. The Republicans "wanted" to free slaves and promote individuals' rights while the Democrats wanted to hold onto slavery and promote the rights of plantation owners (AKA Big Business.) You don't even have to go back that far. A major shift for Democrats v. Republicans came when FDR became president, as well as JFK v. Nixon.
If you look at the original lists of what Vista was supposed to come shipped with and compare that list to what it was actually shipped with, I think you'll see how worthless 'day 1' development features are. One of the major motivators to switch to Vista was their new file system, but as it is we're stuck with NTFS for Windows and a plethora for *NIX.
The DHS is even more basic than what you claim it is. Basically, the DHS is there to take the fall for any security agency that fails. The most common ones we've heard have been the FBI and the CIA. What we don't hear about, and which has failed even worse, is the NSA. Nobody bothers to think about the NSA. What are its responsibilities? What are DHS's? To further this, of the hundreds, possibly thousands (literally) of articles about 11 Sept. and the "War on Terror" (Mission Accomplished?), I have only come across one article that mentions the NSA. Not surprisingly, this article came not from an American source, but from the BBC. So, to become as off-topic as I will get in this post, the agency that failed the most with regards to 9/11 (which is causing all of our latest political problems) is not the Central Intelligence Agency, not the Federal Bureau of Intelligence, but the National Security Agency. And the Department of Homeland Security was created so nobody bothers to think about an organization with a name as blatantly obvious as National Security Agency because we have another agency with as stupid of a name as "The Patriot Act," (Named after patriotism or Patriot missles?) none other than "Department of Homeland Security"
Dell's choice to not sell to businesses should give these guys a fair boost in sales.
But it's not like Dell suddenly stopped selling Ubuntu-equipped computers to businesses. For Linux overall, they still support RedHat for enterprises. But back to your statement; if this were true, then the sales should have already been growing and there should be no boost as per my statement earlier about Dell not discontinuing anything.
I could only imagine what the lobbyists would say

Farmers lobbyists are some of the most powerful lobbyists in the United States. They're basically the only real reason why we still have an embargo against Cuba. They're also one of the major groups that pushed E85 and are pushing biodiesel. I can't really see this happening as long as the farmers still have their lobbyists.
Open Source doesn't mean that a company can't charge something. Look at Redhat. They sure as hell don't give everything away for free. What we're talking about here is also a service, not necessarily a product. People ought to be willing to pay for a service in one form or another, be it with regularly scheduled fees, putting up with advertisements, etc.
but we (the people, via our elected representatives) - CAN insist that justice be done
We tried that, several times. Re: Guantanamo, illegal wiretapping, et. al. He's just like Andrew Jackson. He ignores what the Supreme Court and the rest of the government say and pushes on. I'm sure if the Democrats blocked funding for the war in Iraq he'd keep the troops there and creat some EO that gives him an IOU to be redeemed whenever the Democrats take office, be it in 2 years, 6 years, or whenever. Then the GOP can shout about how the Democrats can't manage the budget, etc....
Honestly, I believe that this administration has fucked up so bad that there is no shock element any more. Compared to Bush, Nixon was a saint, and Carter was as accomplished as FDR.
I agree with some points earlier about how we'd be even worse if we impeached Bush, though. Who would we be left with? Cheney. The only solution would be to impeach both Bush and Cheney at the same time, but by the time that proceeding gets through we'd already have finished the next election.
I'm all for Minneapolis, but honestly, how the hell does General Mills get on the list for Minneapolis, but they exclude other companies like Seagate? Where the hell is Honeywell? And what does General Mills do that qualifies as IT? I would imagine the Mayo Clinic would be more IT than GM, and much of a better place at that, and that's not on the list? Who's willing to place bets that these are companies that the authors' friends and families work at?
And then get slammed for not using their business serves? This could open up a can of worms not worth fighting. Many agreements for residential services are things like not running servers, which means no Apache, SmartFTP, or anything other than hosting a video game online.

With the advent of Tanya Anderson counter-sueing the RIAA and Safenet, couldn't this just result in n more counter-sueings?

My uneducated guess would be that giving up the copyrights would be a publicity stunt, and that she's actually looking to settle out of court.
I tried to watch the video, but then saw that it's in .wmv format, which is pretty much "illegal" for me to view when running Linux.
Well, since nobody else has said it, there it is.

There are some things that naturally have to be secret. How effective would spies be if their information was publicly disclosed?

Right, like nothing's ever come out of NASA that's used daily. Like anything could ever be spun off from technologies developed by NASA. Especially in the past 5 years
What, like Windows XP or OSX don't sound as dorky as PC-BSD?
I believe Chris Rock said it best:
Why the hell would drug companies want to find a cure for AIDS? There's no money for a cure. The real money's in the treatment!
