Do you even know what you're talking about? Wind River and Red Hat are both software companies. The Ergo Audrey was made my 3Com a number of years ago and was very quickly discontinued.
No, that's why I asked a question. I thought that perhaps the Audrey hardware runs some kind of software.
You know, the second and third books just aren't that funny. The telephone sanitizer sequence in particular was one of the worst. Throw a bunch of shit together and it's funny? Here's my Douglas Adams tribute, I gotta get this out:
Quite improbably, he was one-quarter-eaten by a snark from Mingbar after hitting 'Preview'. Perhaps just as improbably, the electrons misfired, causing the catastrophic destruction of a small race of beings that lived inside fiber optic strands. These deaths created a sequence of bits that was, in fact, a computer virus that destroyed the entire network of that planet. Har har! That's why I don't hit Preview anymore!
You're thinking of 'historical' Democrats and Republicans. The current administration changed all that. I know exactly who's been worse at it these past four years.
...it makes it a fucking expensive desktop with inferior parts.
Well, you aren't very well going to keep it on your lap while walking down the concourse. With a desktop you're bringing your screen, keyboard/mouse, and speakers. Modern laptops aren't the pieces of shit you're used to, and it's all contained in a nifty package.
When pricing laptops, the executive types always pick the smallest size. You wouldn't believe the amount of thought that went into extra power vs. 8 extra OUNCES. The younger game-playing employees always price out the laptops with the most power, knowing that an extra few pounds means _nothing_ when you're rolling it down the concourse.
To me, it's all about desktop replacement.
Anime is far from alternative. It's on for 12 hours a day on the Cartoon Network, fer cry. Perhaps 'mainstream alternative' is what you're looking for.
Well, it's not gone from the desktop yet - it's just a hassle to instruct every single end-user that uses java-based software to go to Sun's JVM site.
Is there another JVM that people use?
Standards compliance and all that is great, but the thing that made me switch to Firefox is that Microsoft pulled out support of it's JVM. I'm sure it was a half-arsed implementation, and they probably left some things out - but it was FAST. Now that I'm waiting five seconds for applets to load anyway, I made the switch from Avant (IE-based tabbed browser) to Firefox.
You can always design separate stylesheets for each browser. I use one for IE, and a second for everyone else - since most everyone else is on the ball.
I don't know. I've read enough of PKD and Gibson to appreciate them. Off the printed page (and usually on), Harlan Ellison is the world's largest asshole, but that doesn't detract from the value of his craft. Cory Doctorow's fiction, regardless of his blogging shit, touches on themes near and dear to the geek heart.
And I'm saying that a keyboard is not a living room device. Voice chat is getting big. Since actually hearing someone jars you out of the immersive experience, perhaps voice recognition is the key.
Are you upset by the strangeness of Ownzored, or the misrepresentation of nanotech in Down and Out? I'd be interested to find out who has a better grasp of these emerging technologies than Cory.
The Xbox has long been targeted to the hardcore. People who probably already have a PC. I don't even want to look at a keyboard when I'm sitting on my sofa with friends, playing SCII.
After becoming the proud owner of a VirtuaBoy and playing it with friends for a few hours...we came to the same conclusion. Nester's Funky Bowling just isn't that _fun_.

Does this mean that I'll finally have some hardware support for my Audrey?
I assure you it's not just Microsoft who's to blame.
You need to accept cookies. That didn't solve the problem? You may need to reformat your computer.

It's pretty stupid to think that your World Spam Treaty ranks with Kyoto and the ICJ on the list of top concerns for the world's leaders.

Must...think...Russian!

But Firefly, like the late-night soap opera, isn't very good. Creative, yes. Good, no.
35mm is too new-school. I prefer 6cm x 6cm medium-format prints.

I was shocked and dismayed after opening my Gamecube and realizing that I couldn't play either NES or N64 games on it. What a ripoff!
It's been released for the WAP54g and WRT54g in the most recent firmware updates. I believe it's something to do with 'testing'.
The Xbox has long been targeted to the hardcore. People who probably already have a PC. I don't even want to look at a keyboard when I'm sitting on my sofa with friends, playing SCII.
Historically half the crafts lost, including Russian. The US has a 100% success rate in the 21st century.
Sounds like a battery-management issue more than something requiring a complex software solution.
