With the slew of PDAs (I have an Axim) and "feature"-loaded cell phones, plus digital media players and whatnot... is this our future? All-in-one?
Yes so, and I suspect that with the average amount of brain cells usually actively available (to humans) it will soon be realized that it is more convenient to upload the contents of those (cells) to the gadget in order to be totally absorbed - erm... all-in-one, so to speak.
... my coach and colleague does not stop telling me that most of her other clients (I prefer paper and pencil to keep my basic structure) are not very much aware about how to handle the current gadgets and many times loose all their data due to incom(not patibility but petence).
Imagine someone who packaged up some illegal-to-distribute physical substance in boxes labeled `private, personal and mine, do not touch', then left them around. Can they be done for distributing the substance if someone comes along and steals it?
Scale this from a box with Plutonium to one with THC. Well.
Hmm, at least with regard to Gentoo it seems to be a more
generic issue as I run into an 'official' already ASSIGNED bug (present in the 32bit situation as well).
Though, I prefer ASUS as well but - circumstances not to detail here.
... I am rather sceptical about that having tried to
(net-)install the 64bit version and not making it past the
boot cd (realizing that I am not the only one with similar
problems).
Excuse as found... the biosses are buggy.
To be fair, other distros I tried did'nt make it as well so far (Fedora, Gentoo: AMD64 3200+, ECS 755-A).
... switching to structures resembling a network rather than a tree is helpful in many cicumstances, especially where complexity (with regard to all relevant levels: social, economic,... ) is looking as if it were an obstacle.
I think I recall this from researching into structures of communications in groups I guess 20-30 years ago. It did not make news then.
After all, he is an advanced (Dr.) psychologist and has to come up with more than the obvious.
A good twist now would be to co-operate with him and come up with time saving music - along the lines of Paul van Hercks book ("Where Were You Last Pluterday? - the plot is that the hero of the story after being out of order for quite a while has an account of tera-units of unused time). Like: "Buy our iTimeSaver and save hours you can spend doing things you really love !".

Yes, perfect. Give (best: global) political economy a priority over managerial-economics (in order to have unbiased global scale cost function estimates) and you will end up in what some would tend to improperly classify as a socialist model without all the (unnecessary) ideological overhead.
Yes, this very much reminds me of 68 and the following end of the leftist movement in Europe which split up and vanished due to ideological hairsplitting.

I wonder wether the EU authorities in charge really see all the intricacies, can hardly believe so but still have hope that they will take care of some freedom for the masses that at the time being have no chance to even think of installing an alternative OS on an x86 box (just had a date with a female colleague from the therapeutic branch who has a hard time to identify a link in an e-mail:).
Reports in Computerwoche also stated that local vendors who currently code applications for the city were experiencing problems in developing applications for the open-source operating system, since they are more familiar with Windows than Linux.
This is concerning special administrative software that has to be (frequently) updated when regulations change. As I read elsewhere, vendors are not willing (or reluctant) to come up with LINUX solutions.

This then is when artificial intelligence meets natural stupidity
A good new variety of a meet-up is to try to get a 64-bit LINUX up and running (AMD64 3200+, 755).

The only logical inference to be made is that they deliberately 'leaked' it themselves (as already made here and also quoted elsewhere).
A more psychological one is that they are not in a position to observe that there is no logic in their proposition.
