BMW is seriously committed to FOSS as an Infortainment platform in their cars - they are not the only ones. They have set up something called the GenIVI Alliance which is an automotive industry consortium which is working together on this type of software: http://genivi.org/ Many other companies have joined as well, like GM, Nokia, Navteq, Intel, Freescale, Nissan, Monta Vista, Pugeot, and Texas Instruments.
If you are editing html you can insert a link with C-c C-c h and an image with C-c C-c h.
If you want to open your html in a browser you can do C-c C-v.
When editing perl use cperl-mode for "canonical" syntax and indentation.
While what you write seems to bear a resemblance to our current situation, it is both fortunately and unfortunately not accurate.
Real technology transfer has yet to really happen. Many companies know all about the flagrant disregard for intellectual property exhibited by China and they closely guard their secrets.
Furthermore, there is not yet the development of a market which can support the kind of research and development required to produce a company like Cisco or IBM, that takes years of experience and lots and lots of money. There is no public accountablility for companies in China, no functioning stock market, relatively little venture capital, no foreign banks allowed to hold assests without Chinese partners, no representative democracy.
It takes much more than two billion people to make a market. It takes infreastructure and good governance. China and India severly lack those things.
Most viruses and trojans take advantage of defects in operating systems and applications such as email and browser programs.
They take advantage of the connection between OSes and applications. If the connection is severed they have less ability to replicate or cause harm.
Microsoft is being targeted because they have a monopoly but all software is at fault.
If you allocate memory incorrectly, you create security problems. In this way all software has faults. But the response to this problem, the fundamental architecture of the OS, and the ability to modify the source code are also major issues in computer security. Microsoft is targeted because they do these things poorly.
I sent Mr. Strauss an email trying to explain why he was incorrect. His out of office reply,
"I am out of the office from Monday, November 3 thru Friday, November 7 returning on Monday 11/10/03. Contact Lee Varian (lvarian@princeton.edu) or Sally Van Fleet (sallyv@princeton.edu (609)258-2908)if you need to contact me.
Please leave your message and I will handle it when I return. I may not be able to check my e-mail reliably while I'm away. -Howard "
