Why go to mars in the first place? Its not like there is some ancient alien technology on mars... or is there???
Not to mention, it sure as hell isnt going to fix the problems we have on earth... how about instead we devote more of the money into propulsion systems research?
China recently cracked down on the microsoft monopoly in china, they accidently found the one legal copy of windows 95 pro in china, and are now investigating.
there is an SNES emulator for the tapwave zodiac,
And there are also SNES emulators available for PocketPCs
The zodiac though has the best layout for SNES IMO. The snes emulator for the zodiac is currently being beta tested, and runs very well.
I bet you Apple is the un named third party. This year they are going to have a HUGE presence at SIGGRAPH 04, and I bet you this is one of those reasons. Apple is looking for domintation in markets it currently has an edge in, namely music production and video production. And Apple seems to be doing this job very well. Coupled with Renderman for the G5, and Shake + Final Cut Pro + Maya + Renderman + Logic Pro, and the mac does everything you need for movie production
every single one. Not to mention, they only run on the ipaq, whats up with that? I would like to run linux on my audiovox just for the geek factor, I have a tapwave zodiac that I use as my ordinary PDA. but noo, opensource nothing, ipaq only!
You seem to forget the fact that PDA's are very open to development. There are Divx players for both Palm and PocketPCs. People have ported version's of GCC that run on the actual device. Open Source is one of the greatest achievements of PDAs, how do you think we got quake running on pocketpc's?
You also seem to forget that if these closed source Operating Systems never existed, these PDA's would never exist either, You cant depend on Open Source nuts to develop an intuitive User Interface. Look at Mac OS X vs Linux. Yeah, both are just as powerful as each other, but Mac OS X's UI is light years ahead of any GUI for linux, and you know what, Aqua is a closed source GUI developed by a commercial company. For PDA's, The UI is even more important then the power of the OS, people want a UI that allows them to get their work done as efficiently as possible, they dont give a rat's ass if its open source or not. People wouldnt buy PDA's if they had clunky UI's, thankfully because of Palm, they managed to develop a GUI that is semi-decent, yet its not amazing yet. The good thing is though that these companies have money they can burn on R&D to develop the OS and make it more intuitive. Open Source is not the greatest thing for PDAs.
Not to mention, there is a Linux port for some PocketPCs, and you know what? It sucks compared to Windows Mobile 2003, in every regard.
Open Source this, Open Source that, you people forget why people actually use computers.
Yeah, to them the largest file-sharing market is people who couldnt even buy their stuff anyways. Their real customers are too ignorant to know how to use computers anyways.

No it will be shortened to Rolls, you can add the Royce sticker by yourself.
Darn, I just did a search for slashdot on MSN and it seems MSN wouldnt let me because it was likely to bring up a very violent anti MS website.
