Agreed, my contract was up about 4 months ago, shortly after the pending deal was announced, and I left T-Mobile, as I will *NEVER* be an AT&T customer again.
I have to agree here... I honestly see Amazon as the first big seller of non-drm music. I am a bit concerned that they will go the route of apple, if they do release an android tablet. I hope they at least include the google market (or offer the option) in addition to Amazon's offering. Will have to see.
*sigh* I was going to say at least I live in a Libertarian minded state, but that is much less so today (than 20-30 years ago. The big conservative push to the right against the more liberal minded moving in from California has really warped what Arizona's political, and government style used to be. It's just a wacky place these days, I try to keep myself out of it.
RDP is already encrypted as of 2003 server (via TLS)... though you don't get client-keys... the issue here is weak passwords, the same issue exists for SSH, short of client keys.
I think you have thisbackwards... This is another language that generates JS, rather than JS being leveraged more... For that, Node + Mongo are a great pair of options.
We already have a language that ties it all together in a comprehensive way... Front end (HTML+CSS+JS), Middle tier (Node+Express+JS), Backend (MongoDB+JS)...
The issue is the weight and size can become more difficult to manage. If you've held a macbook air, imagine holding that as a tablet (closed), it's a bit bulky, and costly to pick up with one hand and carry around for reading. Though more room for batteries would mean better life in that regard. I only wanted 10" over a 7" tablet for better readability. At 13" it might be nice, but I have a feeling that they'd be priced way too high.
I would guess that Amazon's Video On Demand/rental services could be part of a draw, though would like Netflix too, wouldn't expect it. I was considering rooting a nook color when the gTablet was on woot this past week, and got that instead.
Analogous to techdirt.... "Loooooots of fart apps.".. or course given Amazon's eBook sales, getting more headway into tablets, and allowing for color reading, especially for magazine distribution, it could be a great entryway for that alone.
Hard to do when you don't own the application store... Funny, it would seem that Apple would be in the best position to compete in that way. Though they want to keep their premium brand standing.
I'm about at that opinion... I have been waiting for pricing to come down to what I would deem reasonable for that functionality, and a 10" tablet around $200 is reasonable to me.. I went a bit more a couple days and snagged a Viewsonic gTablet from Woot at $244, going to throw CyanogenMod on there as soon as I get it though... Not certain even then if the pricing is quite right... I went looking for a sleeve/case on Amazon shortly after, and saw a lot of cases with USB keyboards.. at that point, I would have just as well bought a netbook if that was the way I was going...
I think if the gTablet (tegra 2 based) can go for under $250, most tablets can probably hit close to that price point, or less. Even at 16-32GB. Though 32GB class 10 microsdhc works well enough, at a decent price point. I would like to see NFC, and IR capabilities in more tablets though, that would open up a whole class of systems applications from htpc remotes, to manufacturing, parts tracking, etc. Right now, wanting to do applications like that on generic "android" hardware still isn't the best... mesh-style networking also is not quite there yet either, which would be nice as well.
I'm actually more fond of Pinta (or Paint.Net), as a layout, which is a lot like Paint Shop Pro used to be (prior to version X), though it's slid down hill imho since 7-8.
The issue is that your perception, and a manager's perception of "quality" as a metric are very different. I've been trending towards the term "craftsmanship" in terms of build quality. Whereas to management (six sigma etc), "quality" is defined as "how well something meets customer expectations of value to cost" and no more. Management rarely cares about software craftsmanship.
Latency? Most people's time is spent staring at a blinking input cursor, latency isn't much of an issue at 300-1000ms or less. I rarely experience latency issues when dealing with web based apps, and few apps require anything more intensive than forms based input and reporting.
As a developer, I've always been far more interested in web based applications, and terminal servers over desktops. Most software development is custom one-off dev for business use. That being the case having centralized distribution is good, having the ability of very low cost terminal clients is nice too imho. Ido think that infrastructure support and serve administration is larger, and desktop support will diminish. If you don't write code, a lot of jobs will be reduced in the next decade. This is true everywhere though. We're at a point where hardware is so commodity, and infrastructure becoming more so, but people will always want/need something specific to their business use case in software.
It seems to me the first amendment protects opinion, and expression.... And not to promote a state religion... Deductive reasoning != science.. that's the fact stated, and religion in history was used as the example. In an A.P. (college level) history class, it's a valid point of discussion... In third grade Math, not quite so much.

I thought Hurd was released this year...

Yeah, the only junk that should be installed on people's computers should come from the manufacturer.

Mine... more than one word, l33tified with non letter-number.
The biggest issue here is integrating with a legacy system... I can't see this as anything but painful...

65535 connections for TCP (minus a few) per server... as long as each connection stays open, poof, no more room at the inn.

This isn't about 'invention', it's about graphic design - and an entirely different part of the law.
Exactly, that would be copyright law, not patent law.

It should probably default to the running user's language.
This is an AP history class, and religion is VERY relevant in history, unless you this we should exclude a few millennium of history?

The Pastafarians would agree.
