There's been $1000 chips at least since the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition came out. You obviously haven't been paying attention.

Eventually the new, from scratch TCP/IP stack was done and shipped with NT 3.5 (the second version, despite the number) in late 1994. The same stack was also included with Windows 95.
However, it looks like some of those Unix utilities were never rewritten. If you look at the executables, you can still see the copyright notice from the regents of the University of California (BSD is short for Berkeley Software Distrubution, Berkeley being a branch of the University of California, for some reason referred to as "Berkeley" on the East Coast and "California" on the West Coast...and "Berkeley" is one of those words that starts to look real funny if you stare at it too long - but I digress).
Keep in mind there is no reason to rewrite that code. If your ftp client works fine (no comments from the peanut gallery!) then why change it? Microsoft has other fish to fry. And the software was licensed perfectly legally, since the inclusion of the copyright notice satisfied the BSD license.
Q3 has been out for Linux since close to day 1. Now that the source has been released, I'm sure people have ported it to other arches. However, you will not be able to connect to any servers because PunkBuster is a binary/X86 only piece of software.
The IsDate() function in VB.Net 2.0 was changed to allow dates without days as well as using a period as a date separator. What does this mean?
That common currency values now can be parsed as dates. Brilliant design.
Not in most areas of the country. Especially in my area -- there are tons of MS.Net and ASP jobs, and the few LAMP jobs that are available are at small startups ill equipped to pay too much more than 30k/year.
Joe Engineer doing kernel hacking at RedHat is the exception rather than the rule. For the everyday software developer (read: RAD Business/Web apps), OSS is not the way to earn a living.
The problem is the broken browsers early on which require modern browsers to operate the same way in the name of web site compatibility.
Same reason Microsoft has to keep legacy cruft in their OS to support the broken programs from 1990.
The extension uses nsiHTTPAuthManager, which requires full security in order to run. In order to install the extension, the user must have administrative access, so it is necessarily assumed the user has full security.
[b]Mandating the install of an extension, as of this time, is considered a no-no by management. [/b]
Executing the same code from page-level javascript is considered a security exception, unfortunately.
I don't make the decision on which authentication method is used. I'm asked to develop web portals that support the authentication method chosen by the server folks.
Firefox does not allow you to clear the Authentication cache (Basic or NTLM) unless you create a signed component. This forces us to close the browser to clear authentication data (We have kiosks where more than one user is viewing private healthcare information and this behavior is VERY undesirable)
I'm quite certain Windows 2000 prevents itself from installing to a P5-133. I know that Windows Millenium prevented itself from being installed on a similarly speced system (p166-mmx).
You have to resort to cunning tricks in order to do such a thing.
, but it does run windows 2000 just fine. I reckon it would run XP a bit slowly.
If you want to use Linux to do everything you can do on Windows (gaming, multimedia, PVR, etc), it just sucks. The Hauppage drivers and MythTV are plain sucky and buggy. Most sound card drivers, and hell, the entire ALSA subsystem, suck as well.
I'd prefer it in a heartbeat for server applications though. The trap that people fall in is trying to shoehorn FOSS into being all things to all people.
I had 35 days of uptime before I needed to reboot after installing the latest Nvidia WHQL drivers. I use my machine as a PVR, email, and a gaming box.
Sorry, but your epenis waving doesn't do anything for us around here.
I've tried Linux+MythTV, but I was lucky to get 3 days of uptime before some critical subsystem (alsa, v4l) failed.
This is significant because it 1) isn't out yet, and 2) it isn't being released as a native X360 title. The original was one of the best games I've ever played.
I've just programmed an extensible.Net data layer that supports MySQL, OLE DB (access) and SQL server. I can switch between databases with an entry in the app.config file. I have a couple of questions:
MySQL uses the ` character to delimit fields, and SQL/Access use [ and ]. There is also the "LIMIT" clause vs the "Select TOP N" for Access/SQL.
Which provider is correct? Are there standards for either of these?

So you are against the Second Amendment? Just clarifying.
YouknowwhatImean? Andsuch? Winkwink? Nudgenudge?

It's slow. I have a Thinkpad with a 533 Celeron and 192. Performance is unacceptably bad on just about any JS-enabled website.
I disagree that Firefox "runs without problems" on a 500MhzCPU with 256MB of RAM. I consider its performance unacceptable. Good game Flash.

Sound and network transport are done in software on most PC's. Vista also abolished DirectSound acceleration.

Or maybe Graham Wellington was able to pick it up?

Looks like I was mistaken, it will be released for the X360 natively.

Try -j3! The standard rule is # CPUs + 1.
The Pioneer A06 is not an authoring burner. It simply is the retail version of the Pioneer 106, which is OEM.
