    I'm talking about 10's of thousands of jobs. As the larger companies turn themselves into outsourcers they will provide that service anywhere but here; India, Brazil, China.

    The probability is vanishingly small we'll get crunchified and the likelihood of any bureaucratic solution even working is also damn low. So let's just accept that there's a nonzero probability that we'll all get wiped out. Worst case we all die someday anyway.

    Or anyone else. Named officers in the 10-K are named because legally, they are 'significant' employees. I don't see Apple shipping thousands of jobs overseas while the stock is STILL below what it was 8 years ago and somehow hundreds of millions of dollars have been lavished by them on themselves. Whereas IBM middle managers are hard pressed to even grant merit or COLA increases year after year after year.

    If you work for the government they most certainly are a Federal offence. If you work for a Federally regulated industry like pharma or defense they are probably a criminal offense. And so on.

    Yeah I suppose. I would not like to be compelled into any long term use of a 10" screen though. What you're telling me is that it's your 'other' PC. Of course the selling point of THIS unit is that it's NO PC. You deploy these everywhere in your organization and simply hand out USB drives to everyone. A kind of hybrid thin client.

  13. Well it's certainly a niche on Mandriva Joins the Netbook Market With the GDium · · Score: 1

    It's not a value proposition. It's something else. Because I can get a 'real' notebook, somewhat more clunky and heavy, such as a Lenovo R61 with SuSE Linux pre installed for $700. For $636 you can get Vista, remove it and install your own Linux.

    When it's bascially a dead heat tie like the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections, the fact that a few votes were rigged is really inconsequential. Half the country is retarded and the other half are indifferent.

    I would love an SSD for r/w performance that blows a mechanical drive out of the water.

    The problem is, it can't be all of those things. It can't even be most of those things. So pick the ones you need.

    There will never be manned moon mission sponsored or engineered by the USA through the end of this century. NASA will be converted to a satellite only facility for the weaponization of near earth orbit space.

    I had a WGT624v3. It's dead now. Not from heat but wireless piece simply stopped working one day. Since the box can't be stacked I had it arrayed standing on its side with nothing remotely near it on any side and nothing blocking any airflow around it.

    My Netgear 624 never had to be rebooted...until it stopped working after 13 months. My Netgear 824, only two months old, granted has never been rebooted except for the three firmware updates in a 3 day period. My Netgear PS121 print server has had to be restarted (to flush the print queue) a few times. My Surfboard SB4100 cable modem I don't think was rebooted since 2001. I replaced it two months ago for a faster one. My Centillium MTA-1 TA has never had to be rebooted in 2 years. My Vonage V-Portal has never had to be rebooted.
