oh i like this.. it fits very nicely with some multiverse thoeries where universes are born as pockets of space near black holes. eventually enough large dense black holes form in the pockets that they create new universes with themselves (kind of like.. baby universes).

to all you bastards that modded my parent post a troll-- stating that linux adoption is inevitable is a *fact*. Linux usage has been increasing almost exponentially. Just because you don't like what is happening doesn't mean it isn't happening. While I'm at it-- OSX usage is also increasing. Over 17% of ALL new notebooks sold are made by Apple. Vista is a dead horse in the market right now.
Honestly-- most Linux distros designed to be easy for new users (ie, ubuntu, mandriva, fedora, etc) are at least as easy, if not easier, to install than windows. You get a pretty GUI right from the get-go. Some distros can be installed in 3 or 4 clicks of the next button! Also, by the time you are at the desktop, support for most of your hardware is already in place. A vanilla copy of windows xp, for example, is an ugly sight on new notebooks. Wrong screen resolution, wrong video drivers, network, wireless, sound, etc are either the wrong driver or not installed. End users usually don't see how deficient windows can be in this area because it comes preloaded and configured on virtually any computer you buy.
Changes in widespread technologies don't happen without a push. The thing is- adoption of a new technology doesn't happen until there is infrustructure, and infrustructure doesn't really get rolling until there is adoption. The only reason new OSs like Linux Distributions enjoy any popularity is due to the fact that there are people willing to write elaborate desktop/server apps even without high adoption rates-- this in turn increases adoption. The reason fancy new programming languages don't take off is the lack of infrustructure as well. D may be better than C++, Haskell may be better than LISP or Erlang-- but without the infrustructure there is no adoption-- without adoption there is no infrustructure.
This reason is precisely why the FCC should be pushing harder towards a fixed analog cutoff deadline. Todays analog TV had a good run. Cable companies could provide (as they do now) converters and HDTV antennas for the 'wireless guys' can convert to old fashion RF/composite/s-video if needed. We need to make the break though. Sooner, not later. I want my UHDTV before 2200.
Sometimes bad policy like this is made by ignorant management and not with the intention to screen bad press. Not saying that that is the case here, but the person(s) involved in writing the NDA could very well have been working under the requirement to safeguard information about new amd products until the products are released. Sometimes the paranoid "they're controlling the press" mentality is solely the product of tin foil hats.:)
I have plenty of wireless connections around me. I live in an apartment complex-- there are, currently, 9 other connections i could conenct to, the issue is i use vpn to connect to my home network and ssh to tunnel several other protocols. I need my own connection. I currently pay $41/mo for earthlink highspeed (cable)-- it is still through time warner, technically. I live w/ my girlfriend and another friend so the cost split 3 ways isnt too bad.
Time Warner in Lincoln, NE is advertising their new High Speed Fiber Network, but it doesn't appear to be a service you can buy-- it just shows up on all their commercials... "Brought to you by Time Warners advanced Fiber Optic network"
make them faster? add more cores? optimize cache hit/miss/latency. don't add any more instructions (for god's sake is a damn risc processor underneath all of that x86 goo). provide for virtual machine monitor special cases... faster--
Someone has the patent on the concept of managing 'something' with 'something'? In this case files with a filesystem? I'm really sick of patent trolls.
KDeleveop uses kwrite as an internal editor, which offers autocompletion of words-- so if you have a function, MyFunc, defined it will autocomplete it after you type Myf. This cuts down considerably on fat fingering function/object/variable names.
as long as Linux distros and Solaris play nice together. An open source solaris can only be good for the OSS community as a whole and will hopefully guarentee compatibility
while i'm excited to see new development in these fields it is far from new. The 60s introduced concepts used in this robot and the 80s introduced actual simulations of self emergent systems.

the linux kernel has nothing to do with "user experience". it interfaces with the hardware... or in this case, the virtual hardware. :)

good- another company that realizes that linux adoption is inevitable.
can't they just make a ~42" TV by putting 16 of these 11" one's together. :)
what's the conversion rate between internet time and the SI unit for time, the second?

A solid virtualization experience for both OSs. I'm sure that's what MS is after.

i guess its just the cable companies way of saying "hey, we've got fiber too!"

Anyone that has seen any of those "TED" videos knows the multitouch screen isn't an Apple innovation.

well the system works.. but in O(2^n) time with O(n!) cost. ugh.. DIE ALREADY.
I'm pretty sure the 4 1/2 week old smart chicken in my friends fridge last night was evolving into some sort of lifeform. one with a bad bo problem.
I like this idea. And while we're at it lets extend this mentality upstream.
these nukes still have to be armed the old fashion way, right? By tapping in an unlocking code? Surely they weren't unlocked!

An asteroid didn't kill the dinosaurs!! They died at the hand of His noodley appendage! And the asteroids are meatballs.

you mean putting people in charge that don't understand a damn thing about your companies product doesn't breed innovation?
