It has been mentioned before but the Google Zeitgeist has Linux at 1% holding steady. The MAC number at 3% is about correct if you look at Apples sales numbers, so why would Linux be that much off?
Everything being equal Google probably still has a slight Geeky slant compared to Say Ask Reeves so this would tend to over represent Linux not hurt the reported market share.
Can anyone think of what the problem with Google might be if the share of linux is 5% and the Zeitgeist number is only 1%?
If you must know I represented the #3 US Semiconductor Manufacturer a few years back at their succesfull Dumping charges filed with FTC against Korean Memory makers
Red herring. MS could've sold each console for $50
It's called Dumping. If they did that Nintendo or Sony could file a complain in each area of the world and have it stopped. MS would be fined and a duty to make up the difference would be imposed.
MS is probably skating close to the edge as it is with their current pricing.
No innovation? You mean like doubling clock speeds every 18 months?
As others have pointed out doubling clock speed is just Moores law in action not Innovations. Second if you read the comment it was about Dell not Intel, so even if I grant you the Innovation claim it would go to Intel not Dell. Validation my point not weaking the argument.
I totally agree with you. I only watch British Comedy and Charlie Rose. Most of the CR interviews can be found as Online audio, I will suggest anyone sample a few of them.
Let me see. You are travelling and want to send email from a mailserver while logged in via Wifi.
Now does the mailserver "Provided by your ISP work? No, they block any IP not their own. Now if port 25 wasn't blocked you could use your own and avoid having to change the Client setup.
I have exactly this problem and have to pay $10 / year to have access to a smtp server that will allow me to log-in from any IP.
It's fun to do, you learn a fair amount and it's akin to sleuting.
Follow discussion in forums about what Batch number OC well. Get some understanding of the Semiconductor industry by comparing Temp vs Geometry, etc.
If you build your own rig the best way to learn and have a good feel for it is by trying to OC. OC the Graphics card, OC the CPU. Fiddle with FSB vs Multiplier and benchmark the various settings.
Best system is sending an email to yoursleves and mark it. Mozilla or Thunderbird are excellent for this. Install POPFileand create a special Bucket and an Anchor and you are set.
By the way only make ToDos for something important and fairly complex where the email description of what is required is a real help
Things like Mow the Lawn is a waste of bandwidth and computer cycles. ToDos and planning is not the same thing.
Lastly keep as much as you can in your head, it a good mental training and your subconscious sometimes gives you a helping hand. .
Maybe a litle OT but the fact that the US Federal Government has agreed to GPL "components" of it's total software developmnents is a much bigger story.
There is a new website available and the estimated savings to the public sector is pegged at $56B / Year.

No not at $1.40 but then again this is not SCOX:-)

It does not get any better stealing from foreigners in this case the French.
How wouild you all feel if a French company decided to Trademark Meeting it's laughable.
Since the seller sold the copyright with the explicit understanding that ELF was in the public domain, NewSCO can not claim anything.
If someone "exceeded" their authority it's a matter for the parties involved at the time.
It is not even Intel alone, It's the SC industry as a whole from makers of Steppers , Design SW etc.
Selling below cost is Dumping Period. Link

I agree with you. Head on over to Groklaw where this theory is being debated. The Yahoo board has comments as well.

Dell has a minuscule R&D budget. Dell is pretty much an Intel Distributor and leaves Innovations to Intel
This is a good strategy for them but somewhat of a problem for the Industry as the competitors needs to follow this route to maintain market share.
The result is almost no innovation in the whole PC sector.

Good tip, I will try that Thanks

Make it expensive and cumbersome to watch TV and we will all be better off in the long run
Only fools watch something where content and schedule is dictated by commercial interestes that do not have your welfare at heart.
Richard Feynmans sister used to do the same while he was at Los Alamos. Drove the censors nuts.
Read Surely you are Joking Mr Feynnman if you haven't already done so. Well worth it.
What do you think the compency level is in this organization on everything else they do?
Good news is they will not have this problem for much long. Chapter 7 is a very efficient Spam eliminator
Inspector Gregory:
"Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
Holmes: "To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
"The dog did nothing in the night-time."
"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.

I will try that. BitTornado is a nice client, just downloaded and tried it. I now got stuck with one more decimal 99.8% ;-)
Why the )*&^((** does Torrent files always stop at 99%? I can restart until the cows comes home and it's still 99%.
His law I guess from the early 90's said that everything that was airborne would become fixed conduits and the reverse.
Example: Television is mostly fixed and stationary so cable will take over. Telephones is for people that is moving so they will switch to Wireless.

Ask her, I will bet uptime comes out on top (sorry) ;-)
Years? They will run out of cash in 4 - 7 quarters.
7 quarters at current burn rate, 4 with accelerating expenses if the trails get underway.
