Actually, the current US legal framework for classifying and declassifying data is not imposed by the Legislative brach on the Exec branch, but it is defined in an Executive Order, which I believe was last updated by Bill Clinton. The obligatory Wikipedia reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13292
Who is the idiot in this case? Your first point says there's not enough documentation to reproduce the API, and your second point states that Wine is implementation of said API.
Now, it is true that Wine is an implementation of the win32 apis-- and I think that Apple could take those effors and integrate them into their OS. Probably not in time for 1.5, but who knows about in the future? The darwine project is apparently in its infancy, but apple does have a good history working with OSS communities.
Actually, it really doesn't have any relevancy. Very regularly, technology acquisitions like these are blocked due to foreign export of technical data. This comes up a lot in the defense business, and if the federal government uses this technology for security, then it has the ability to block these transactions. The State Department can also grant export licenses for technology and could do so in this case.
I really think the claims of cronyism are unjustified in reguard to the ports deal, just as I thought the 9/11 arguement for blocking the ports deal was unjustified (local security has and always will protect the ports).
If you don't like it, don't shop at the GAP, or, simply buy what you think is your size and try it on at home. You DON'T have to try on your clothes at the department store-- therein lies your freedom.
Um, no, you're quite wrong. A normal, uncleared, without need to know US Citizen should not read a document labeled Secret. That is violating a "fundamental clearance issue".

I think its more of a problem with Intels marketing being too expensive
I remember for the P-III, the development costs equaled what they spent on advertising. I haven't bought a P-x since.
What I have to question in this debate is, what prevents the consumer from making other choices to better suit their needs? I'm sorry, but in geneneral (metro/suburban areas), DSL is not always the best choice for high speed internet. For myself, living in the suburbs of Seattle, DSL sucks and cable modem was a much better service. And if I didn't have cable, it would have only cost me another $10/mo, which seems more than reasonable.
What I mean to say is, for the most part, the open market will dictate a company's policies. In my area alone, there is a DSL provide that gives unpaired service, several telcos, Cable and i'm sure more.
I totally agree--- this exact kind of lawsuit against MS is what lead to their contract employees being treated ACTUALLY like second class citizens to make sure they weren't given the "same expectations as regular employees"
There really is more to a Mac in terms of hardware-- Such as really high prices on 12" laptops with only a 1024x768 screen.
I only gripe about it becasue I am writing from mine and the just isn't enough on the screen.
What really suprised me about the whole Xindi thing was that nobody called the show out for basically creating a Star Trek: 9/11.
Think of the Xindi as the Taliban, the Federation as America, Florida as the World Trade Center and that stupid weapon as WMDs and it all adds up to Star Trek: Ripped Directly From the Headlines.
What was the end result? A show that was too serious to be taken seriously.
Fuck, I would hate to be on a plane in bad weather the next time a terrorist attack happens. GPS approach, in low-vis situtations (less than 1000 ft), is considered to be the safest approach available.
They've really got a problem is a video game harmed China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. I would really hate to see what would happen to their sovereignty if they were attaked with sometime real like a weapon.
The thing that I was really looking forward to with the 650 is that is being physically built by another company. They (Palm) switched to the company that builds all of the HP PocketPCs as well as a lot of the other "manufacturers".
I think at the end of the day it is likely that there will be BUGS (as it is a complete resdesign), but I think the overall QUALITY will be improved. Hopefully.
Daniel,
Cute letter, but in all honesty, without my "luxary" item computer, I would be in the "lower end of the population". Computers, at least in this century, define the opportunity to better oneself.

As I sit writing on my PC box next to my Solaris machine, I look forward to the next project which uses PC and Linux. Its a great environment.
I'd like to say that we don't use Windows for Word/PPoint/Excel. We use it for Outlook. A program I thought was shit until about a month an a half ago when I started using it in the corporate environment. The tight integration between contacts, meetings, scheduling really help cut down on the administration work I have to do to keep working.

Yes, the online part, where this godforsaken state doesn't make any money off of it, is illegal.

Ooops, W did in fact update it-- Clinton's order is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_1295

The same way that destroying evidence is a crime.

Sorry, but I do believe there is a difference in format. Its almost like asking why you can't play your CD in your cassette player.

Actually, Local Search on maps.google.com does a really good job of doing just that. Unless I am misunderstanding your question.

Okay, fine, you say that, I'll keep living in a *REAL* first world country making a shit load of money doing what I do.

but to date, I've never met a single person that was truly satisfied with Windows, much less happy or fanatical about it.
Apparently, you've never met an MS employee with a bunch of shares of MS stock. Trust me; they're aggrivating.
