And the nice thing about subsidies, from the government's point of view, is that it makes an easy segway to regulation and monitoring.
Do you mean subsidies are an expensive toy which gets you to the destination, but you could far more cheaply, and with the same ease, do the same thing some other way? Then yeah, they do make great Segways to those things.

Dan Glickman is an avid Linux user, a well-known consumer advocate, vehemently critical of the DMCA and a member of the EFF. Ha ha. Just kidding, Dave Barry style.

I had no problem getting it either -- a 3.8 meg video in about a minute, linked directly on the front page of Slashdot...from an overseas server. Now that's impressive. Screw the car, tell me how they pulled off that bandwidth!

Of course, I personally haven't seen a modem in years...
Same here. Funny thing is, it seems like these dialer scams missed the boat. They should have come out in the early 1990s, when modems where the hot tech item, and no phone companies (much less victims) were at all ready to deal with something like this. I've been on cable since 1999 and never looked back, yet I've only seen these dialer scam programs in the last few years or so.
I think you really mean to kill the dummy who took the joke seriously and forwarded it everywhere.
I, on the other hand, want to kill the tiny part of each person's brain that makes them not think about shit like this before sending it to their entire address book (all visible to one another in the To: line, of course). Unfortunately, the treatment would have to be applied to about 95% of the human race. Maybe it would be more efficient with a retrovirus doing the work. Now that would be ironic.
Call it the Mongol Horde approach (or, for Slashdotters, the Beowulf Cluster Graphics Array -- or maybe some more catchy acronym along the lines of RAID).
Take a load of cheap cards -- for instance, one of the many low-end cards available -- say, nine of them (nice square number: 3x3 array), and have each assigned to one tenth of your display, then have something downstream tile them back together, and bingo, super duper card. Better yet, design a single card using the cores of the nine low-end cards, which would no doubt be cheaper than nine times the cost of the single card (not to mention not requiring nine free slots on your motherboard(s) (!)), at which point maybe you'd bump it up to 16 or 25 cores.
Is there some fundamental reason this would not work (besides the basic issue of splitting and recombining your display)?
The Classic Gaming Expo has gotten bigger and bigger over the years. They've had to seek larger facilities; in fact, this year, as a result of this expansion, they're holding it in San Jose rather than Las Vegas. And since I live in the Bay Area, I'm currently rubbing my hands with glee.
Since there's no error correction going on, and no active refreshing going on, lots of small "pushes" could accumulate and cause the state of the MRAM bits to change more often than those of DRAM (which, at least, restore an almost-one to a one and an almost-zero to a zero on each refresh).
Unless there's some physical mechanism in MRAM that accomplishes the same thing?
EROS does not yet have a self-hosted development environment. We are actively working on bringing up a POSIX-compatible environment, but do not expect that this will make it into the first release. The irony is that we may get Java development support in first (!).
The EROS group currently cross-develops from LINUX. We run RedHat 7.0 (cutting over to 7.1 shortly), but any ELF-based LINUX system should do. Building the EROS system requires G++ 2.7.2 or later. Because EGCS has broken for years, we use cross compilers rather than reusing the native Linux compiler.
How come they don't try to add their ideas to Linux rather than making it a whole competing system? I'm sure everyone in Linux-land would love to have this sort of bulletproof goodness added to their favorite OS...?

If you can't afford the space you need in town A, but you can in town B, then town A is, in fact, too crowded for you, yes?
Plus, I'm guessing the centroid of the attendees' locations is a lot closer to San Jose than Las Vegas.
