The military is addressing that very issue. very slowly but they are. I do believe the missiles for the f-22 and the f-35 use the same interface. they are doing this from a logistics point, as each plane literally needs it own equipment for testing and in the field having to lug 12 different interfaces around has proven to be a pain.
Think of it less in terms of contracts and more like the auto industry. each brand of car(ford, gm, toyota, honda, etc) and each car in their respective lineups would use different engine codes in their computers, and in some cases different plug interfaces for the information.
to get a ford f-150 engine computer interface you had to spend several hundred if not thousands of dollars. and again for every different unit. Manufactories think such things needed to be kept secret. yet years of pressure has finally brought at least some standardization in that area allowing less expensive diagnostic units.
Slasheot looks and works exactly the same on my iPhone as any desktop browser. Sure typing is a bit harder. But that doesn't matter as to how it works.
The only big difference is that drop down menu scroll like on an index reel. This is done for limited space and appears the same for all websites. Modding posts is only slightly slower.
hence the original article's idea. a larger version of them.
personally I want an iPad. Something the size of an e-book, with wi-fi, and an OS that is simple to use on it. Oh and i want it for less than $500 as that is what most of those things go for.
Actually if you read it is about renaming the extensions. if I change.jpg to.gif in linux or OSX a different app may load but the file will still open as a jpeg.
Doing so in windows either throws up errors or crashes the app. Changing a.exe to.jpg.exe is enough for windows as a OS to treat the file differently. While MSFT filters are good at catching things like that is a band aid solution.
OS X and linux use the file being accessed to determine if it is an app or not, not the file name. thus cutting down a lot of problems right at the beginning.
Design your system intelligently and you have less gaping holes to deal with later. When you do find holes you don't fix them with a coat of paint, you repair the wall and foundations.
except the last stage never happens. As companies don't like change, they can't see their software is worth less over time.
Supply and demand fails for software as the cost of one copy isn't very different than a million copies. Unlike dell for each unit sold costs money to make, Software only costs you once to make.
The only thing that makes software less valuable is a better version.
while your correct whats the difference If I carry an 8 gig SD card with me and leave the songs I want with my friends anyways?
Actually I know the difference apple isn't trying to stop that part, only to stop from being sued by stupid record labels trying to enforce an old business model on new hardware.
in order to prove Intel did wrong you have to prove MSFT was wrong and get MSFT to say bad things about Intel. Since Windows Is the only CPU stuck OS anymore pissing off Intel isn't possible for MSFT.
why else visit slashdot from cleveland? when the world ends it will take a couple of days to register with both hence adding several days to your life.
Not really. think about it. how many people just need wifi speeds for most of their browsing? this isn't to replace a slashdotters fiber connection, This is to give you wifi while getting sun in the park.
what it shows is that extensions in windows are abused by the system. It shouldn't cause system problems if I rename a file. it doesn't matter under linux, it doesn't matter under OS X, why does it matter for a modern OS like Vista?
you do realise the oil companies are sitting on millions of gallons of oil in untapped yet reay for drilling(legally) tomorrow, without opening up more land for drilling.
oil companies in the USA aren't using what have have let alone what they want. When they start drilling in land they already own and start tapping those lines then I will consider giving them even more.
also it isn't oil that is important it is cheap oil.
exactly. while I read the newspaper every day at work, when i am not at work i get my news from other sources. there are so many choices and I have found that if i really want to know what is going on in the US especially with the US military I turn to the BBC first. CNn isn't normally too bad, but the rest of them are so damn slow unless it is the latest celebrity that it just isn't worth it.
So you weren't the only one to think of the solid state lasers came out just in time. portable defense systems. now they just need to add motion targeting to track intruders.
except that the Christian calendar was created hundreds of years later. In fact because of miss translations(Hebrew-Greek- Latin-English) the bible as you have read it contains numerous small errors. The story of gensis isn't seven days but seven periods of time. Ranging from days to eons.
Believing the bible without reading it in Hebrew or ancient Greek. Is for those who can't think.

Apple is no different than any other company in that regard. Haven't you ever seen a MSFT commercial where they say Vista is fast and secure?
You can't use your desktop that fast either. It just takes time to actually use the products they are showing. And over 3g connections it is slow.

think about it this way. Ground based radar is limited by line of sight, and horizon issues. it is technically possible to fly below it.
With a space based solution you always fly below it.

unless of course your keeping the logs of what the admin is doing.
isn't that supposed to be a pink pony named taco?

It's only a couple hundred miles away. two maybe three hours in the car.
of course a few of these in the desert to help with water would be very useful.
Not only that the extra processors aren't covered under the EULA and require special extra licenses.

So we can't throw 60 tons of lead at DC because the DC politicians are even more dense?
Sorry offtopic, but we are talking about dense things.
until they market their poetry sessions with free samples in every email.

odd none of the other presidents who wiped their ass on the bill of rights needed those points.
