Why bring up the problems in a negative light? Lets think about solutions rather than being negative all of the time! Time to stop inadvertently or advertently bashing or negating thoughts.
This is marked as insightful, but where are the comments that discuss this and overcome this?
Very good idea. The user who says that any changes within the next four years is the naive poster. Lets look for ways around, not being pessimistic and negative on each hand. Let's work together to get above and beyond the hurdles, if they exist.
Quite interesting. I've seen ADT's software work before, which is quite impressive, and this is sounding remarkably similar in functionality without the huge price tag.
I wonder if you can get higher resolution wireless cameras for these tasks as well that can give you facial detail for prosecution purposes if necessary?
I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but this seems a little interesting.
First the SCO/Microsoft connections, then the Microsoft/Sun settlement... Now this? It seems odd to me that they are running in this direction in light of all of the Linux hoopla that's going around. Just look at "City of Munich Freezes Its Linux Migration" posted a little bit ago here. It almost seems like they are trying to put themselves into the position of snatching up those who are wavering on the Linux/licensing front.
Interesting. Can you provide some more information?
First, how much would a project like this cost? Can you do such a thing on a shoestring budget? I couldn't believe it would be cost effective from what I've seen in terms of fiber costs and labor costs (even doing it yourself).
Second, what type of argument or sales pitch has worked? Has anyone seen this work? How can you spearhead this into a feasible project with local government?
Interesting thoughts and ramifications, please elaborate. I've heard mention of this before but have seen no "beef." Is there a group or consortium to help consolidate information and push this along? I sadly think our only hope though is the unused TV frequencies as we live in a very hilly and wooded area.
You know, while reading your comment I realized something. The mobile phone companies are going to remain more powerful for one key reason: subscriptions. Now, that's not necessarily true in terms of the phone manufactures, yet folks need to keep buying phones that work with their service and the phone manufacturers are basically in a consumable goods market as such. I just had to replace a phone after a year and it seems that that is a trend in mobile phones at the moment. Thus truly the PDA market cannot completely compete with mobile phones since they do not have the same advantages. The markets seem to definitely be on a collision course.
Well, perhaps they have caught wind that Apple is planning some sort of Palm like device or the like?
Secondly, why whine, lets get to hacking darwin so that we can run a slim Mac OS X on Palms or WinCE devices just like they've done with linux. Nothing stopping us.
You have some interesting comments here. I have a good friend with ADD and they are quite bright and capable. Certain drugs, such as Ridlin, though have helped them tremendously and they are still bright and very capable individuals. According to them, they are more capable with the drug than without it. So I would say different people need different treatments as anything that affects live in a globally accepted adverse way ought to be treated if treatments are affective.
Next, one thing of interest about Albert Einstein is that music helped him tremendously. I have understood that when he had a hard time thinking about a problem he could lay his work aside and play the violin for a bit, then go back and think more clearly. He was no master violinist, however music has powerful affects when you play it. Listing by itself does not do the trick. It is combining all of the senses and a few other attributes that really harness the brains potential. Do some research, perhaps music is the real solution for many "mental illnesses."
First, what exactly are they attacking? The TCP/IP stacks in *nix? Secondly, why don't we just write a new compatible layer.
I'm sure that if all Linux and *BSD developers are mad enough and want to work together we can put an alternative in place that will be even better than what is implemented currently. Let's just beat them at their own game? How can they play any longer after game over and we've moved on to better things?
Probably already posted in some thread above, but I thought this would be cute: Windows for the G5. (Could have also been going to the previously Connectix developers for Virtual PC support for G5...)
Thanks for pointing that out. You're correct. Notwithstanding his other points are very valid and I'd sure like to see some straight comparison tests, which I'm sure we'll eventually see.
Excellent observations. I hope you get a good response to this from PC Magazine as things really are skewed. As for your reference to the video card:
The Radeon 9800 Pro vs. the Radeon 9600 Pro. The 9800 Pro has nearly double the throughput for its memory and faster clock speeds as well for the processor. At least this is what I've read before. I cannot now put my finger on the original article that I read, but the information can be found through google by searching for "Radeon 9800 Pro" and "Radeon 9600 Pro" in a comparison context.
If anyone can find a very good comparative article, please post it as I would like to reexamine the differences myself.
The bottom line appears that the G5 will really still outshine or be right above par with the AMD 64 chips given the above observations. I would like to see gentoo compiled from scratch on both machines and do some real number crunching, app running and comparable tests. Lets also see filesystem performance tests and various other data transfer tests (network, firewire, usb 2, pci, etc) as well.

Try HTMLize and look at the instructions. I think the process can be improved much, but here's a good start!
