I know this was just a joke, but I need to respond. Rails saved my career. After being in a dead end it job for 3 years, I found myself suddenly unemployed. I then took it upon myself to learn RoR in 3 months because it was the only way I thought I could get a break as a developer- I'd be the only Ruby developer when it really hit big.
After building 2 projects to show off (a blog and a business lead generation site) I sent out my resume. It took two months, but I ended up getting a contracting position at a very reputable comapany. After 8 months of work I was offered a full time position and a very nice salary.
I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity that Rails has given me and also the incredible support I got from railsforum.com, especially Ryan Bates.
Show me a 17" wuxga. I thought it was too obvious to clairify that a friggin 30" TV-sized screen can support that res. I simply want a screen with a killer dpi. If you read my post more carefully you'd see I point that out in the last sentance.
These machines are not supposed to replace laptops and they really aren't meant to run off the battery very frequently.
What they are meant for is transporting a VERY powerful machine easily. The reality is that with this machine you have very powerful processing, a very high end lcd screen (you can't even buy a wuxga screen for a desktop), a built in UPS, keyboard and mouse all in one compact package.
I have a Sager 9750 and almost never run it on battey. But I do use it for work as my primary machine where I use Maya, photoshop and eclipse. I need a wuxga screen for my eclipse work, and you simply can't get one for a desktop. When I bring the machine home I can play any game I want as the graphics adapter is very powerful and upgradable.
Finally, I have gentoo running on a second 100gb hd which I use about 50% of the time. The machine does absolutely everything, it's extremely portable and it has features (17" wuxga) that desktops don't. The killer functionality is that I can have my main machine with me where ever I go (as long as there's an ac outlet) and I don't have to make any compromises.
The reality is that Apple is in the business of making money. Why do you think it's so difficult to download quicktime without itunes??? Why are they even packaged together? The answer is that people don't purchase quicktime pro. I'm sure the sales figures are pretty low. People buy music.
Apple doesn't have the luxury making their software being an integral part of the OS (a la microsoft) so they have to find other methods of getting their music store on every pc possibly. This ideology is par for the course. Like I said in my original post, some people embrace this practice and others try to avoid it. Rockbox is a good solution to the problem.
Finally, I never said once that iTunes was a bad program, I just don't care for it's limited codec support and inclusion of the itunes store (which I know can be disabled). I'm allowed to seek an alternative whether apple fan boys like it or not.
I'm replying to my own post rather than to each response individually.
I find it humorous being called an OSS zealot simply for stating reasons for why some people may not like itunes. You can't deny that some feel DRM is a burden while others look at it as a feature. And to suggest that OGG is a pirate's tool is insane. Since when is choice a bad thing?
Am I loosing my mind, or is this Digg.com? I didn't think 8 year olds understood the moderation system here.
Fortunately I was able to mod you down a little as your post is complete flamebait.
Here's the problem... People don't like itunes because it's essentially a gateway to the itunes store. It's purpose is to get you to buy apples's drm laden music from their proprietary service. Some people like it, some don't. Rockbox caters to those who don't. IMO, amaroK is FAR superior to itunes.
I've used rockbox on my iriver h120 since the original builds and it never caused any issues that would void the warranty. It's very easy to remove. Whenever you flash a firmware (which is rare with rockbox, you only flash the bootloader once), you run the risk of bricking the device. The fact that rockbox is located on the harddrive makes updating the firmware VERY secure.
Finally, saying OGG sounds horrid should completely invalidate your whole post. You're completely wrong. Perhaps you don't have sensitive ears and can't tell the difference, but to say it's horrid (assuming you're saying you can differentiate it as lesser quality than mp3, wma, etc. in a blind listening test) is a very ignorant statement.
Rockbox is a godsend for those of use that don't want drm laden music, but do want a wealth of features and codecs.
What are you talking about? My Cardo Scala500 wireless bluetooth earpiece cost me $48 a year and a half ago. Now I don't know what the licensing costs are, but they sure as heck aren't $120 for a wireless headset.
I think the reason for it's slow adoption is that too many popular devices only use v1.1, namely the treo 650. The quality is simply terrible on a bluetooth 1.1 device.
There's a couple of users that really benefit from DTR's. Programmers and web developers heavily benefit from the WUXGA screens. Graphic artists require fast GPUs and dual core CPUs for rendering. Hardcore gamers simply require the best of everything.
I'd be hard pressed to find anyone else that could find the new 11lb DTRs useful. I have a sager 9750 and it suits my purposes perfectly (I'm a web developer, programmer, graphic artist and gamer). I do transport the machine, but rarely run it off of the built in UPS. Satisfies my needs perfectly.
I find it most interesting that virtually all 'honest' accounting mistakes are in favor of the person/company making the mistake. I'm not saying that H&R block had any intention to get away with fraud at some point, but it is an interesting phenominon.
First computer ever, I remember it like it was yesterday (flashback 1989):
386 16MhzSX (intel) 40mb HD (western digital i think) Western Digital Paradise ISA video 512kb ram (not sure about this, but it was under 1mb) Okidata Okilaser (fist consumer oki laser printer) CTX 14" monitor(could do 640x480!!!) DOS 4.x Windows 3.0 (upgraded to 3.1)
I also got it with a few games: Crime Wave (Access) TV Sports Football (Cinemaware) ABC Monday Night Football (Data East)
I would ultimately upgrade the video ram to play links386 in svga and install the first soundblaster card for sound in ultima6.
My parents bought the machine at a computer show from a company called Greentree computers. Funny thing is the town I moved into this past year is where Greentree computers runs out of. I was shocked to find they were still in business.
I agree, I've never had a kde app not work in gnome. As far as kde apps not looking good in gnome and vice versa, I don't think most people care whos fault it is. They only care if things work well. Cross theming, if it is what I think it is, would be a phenominal step foreward.
If the two groups could interpolate perfectly, then there'd be no reason for a distro to pick one over the other. Obvously they're not there yet.
I really wish kde and gnome could somehow combine their projects. I primarily use gnome, but there's a ton of kde-centric apps that I love to use. Unfortunately they don't look good under gnome. Most people aren't going to go through the loops to get the fonts in kde apps to render properly in gnome.
I think a gnome-style window manager with the features and app support of kde would be killer. Sometimes I think gnome is a bit too simplistic. It seems both projects have different design philosophies so I doubt this would ever happen.
Microsoft should be dedicating their resources in finding a cure, not a treatment. This presents a big conflict of interest for them, kinda like a coach betting against his own team.
There's only one reason I use fat32, and that's to format my 300gb ub2 hd. If I want cross compatibility between windows and linux, fat32 is the only way to do that. If I format to NTFS I cannot write to the drive and all my files are labeled read-only (which is really annoying when you have to copy over many files). If I format to Ext2, Ext3, microsoft will not read those partitions.
Interesting thing is that micrsoft PURPOSELY BREAKS FAT32 in windows!!! I forget the exact size, but you can only format a fat32 partition up to 30gb in windows. Microsoft really wants you using their proprietary ntfs file system. As a result I have to format fat32 from linux to utilize the whole capacity of the drive.
This is simply another case of microsoft trying to force proprietary software onto people that want nothing to do with their product.
The linux drivers have come a long way. I've been using the latest 32bit drivers with good success. On my mobile Radeon9700 I average 2500fps in glxgears in ubuntu. Maya seems to be working pretty well too, although I haven't tried any really complex scenes yet.
In the last release ATI has a graphical installer which sorta worked, but I still had to compile the fglrx modules which would be a pain for a complete noob. It's too bad that the ati control panel is really only useful for configuring dual monitors and confirming that opengl is working. It would have be nice to have the plethora of opengl features the windows control panel has. You still have to edit the xorg.conf for a few things.
Is anyone as shocked as I am that the original article actually mentioned GIMP? It's a great program and all, but not exactly a household name like photoshop. And it doesn't really bring up the most flattering visual images (pulp fiction comes to mind)...

So your solution for avioding restrictive DRM is defecting to an OS that essentially pioneered DRM to the masses???
Sadly, linux and it's variants are the only option now(if you don't want your content filtered). If distros like Ubuntu keep progessing in the direction they're going this make all be a moot point in the not-to-distant future. Ubuntu is the first linux distro I've had virtually no headaches getting anything installed/configured.
Could Sony be doing this to delay the XBox360 release? Microsoft has been gaining a ton of momentum with software developers of late, something it never had with the current xbox.
Microsoft will most definately hold off releaseing the next xbox if the new DVD standard's release is impending. That'll give Sony a nice window to get caught up.
It's a bold move, but I think it could help Sony immensely if the timing is right.

You have two competing formats... All other things being equal, one supports significantly more storage space than the other. Just based on that Blu-Ray wins hands down.
Unfortunately, what I think could happen is that movies will be released on the two formats with identical quality, only the Blu-Ray version will be stuffed with more advertisements.
And for PC archival purposes, I can't imagine anyone supporting hddvd. Blu-Ray will finally give us an optical media format with nearly as much capacity as a DLT tape.

If you check out their site you'll see immediately that they are seeking finantial backers. I'm sure their intention is to create some buzz to attract more investers. Unfortunately for them, making outlandish claims may have a reverse effect.
Due to the fact that humans have pumped trillions of tons of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere(in an extremely short period of time) any human with a shred of common sense would realize that it has had a detrimental effect.
You don't need fancy degrees to comprehend that. More importantly, you don't need fancy degrees to do something about it. Whether or not i know what a meddie or pycnocline is, is irrelevant.
I also forgot to mention that my 1800lb hybrid is much less likely to tear up roads than something like a dodge durango. Seems taxing on gas is the most accurate way to go if you're concerned about taxing people who cause the most damage to roads.
A. It was the lowest emissions 'usable' car at the time of purchase. B. It depended significalty less on fossel fuels, getting over 60mpg. C. Gas was cheap
These things are important because:
A. fossel fuels extracted within the US contribute to the loss of habitat for wildlife and damage our landscapes (namely it affects critical things like water tables- which can decimate miles of landscapes if altered) B. fossel fuels imported from unstable arab nations contributes to the conflicts we're seeing in afghanistan, iraq, iran, syria, Ukrane, and many other places. C. fossel fuels cause an ENORMOUS amout of pollution.
How does this apply to the parent topic??? Putting the enormous privacy issues aside, it once again punishes people who have fuel efficient cars. People who made responsible automobile purchases have to STOP BEING PUNISHED. I paind extra money to drive a 68hp car because it has the least negative impact. Of course I'd love to buy a 340hp gas guzzling SUV, but I think it's irresponsible.
California aggressively encouraged people to buy hybrids because of their smog issues. Now that that initiative is somewhat successful they are panicking that they might start to loose tax revenue. It's insane. Are they gonna do the same thing if most people decide to stop smoking all of a sudden, like making an oxygen tax?
We already pay tolls and are taxed many ways for our roads. A tax on mileage could be looked at as an infringement on our basic freedom to simply live.
The bottom line is that this is probably just another creative way to help fund our wars. It's a state level initiative, but it's repercussions go deep in today's political atmosphere.
There's a big difference between a reasonable prediction and saying ridiculous things to inflate your stock price.
I don't think it was reasonable for Intel to say, in 2002, that we will have a 10ghz part in the near future. Perhaps saying, 'Our goal is to reach 10Ghz by 2006', is a little more reasonable. But Craig Barrett and Co. don't talk that way (neither did Jerry Sanders of AMD).
These statements could be looked at as devices to drive up stock prices.
Finally, Intel said that the PIV's would hit 10Ghz. You can rest assured that's never going to happen.

This was spewed from Intel in 2002:
"First, by switching to the Pentium 4 architecture, Intel can drastically boost the clock speed. The old server Xeon topped out at 1.4GHz. The new one debuts at 1.8GHz, 2GHz and 2.2GHz, and will eventually pass 10GHz, she said." http://news.com.com/2100-1001-843879.html
I can't find the exact quote and article, but another Intel exec/rep stated that this goal would be achieved by 2006.
Well, it's 2005, the P4 has topped out at 3.6ghz and has been discontinued because Intel has determined that the P4 arcitecture is streached to the limit.
Bottom line is that we should be expecting a 10ghz processor soon because Intel brazenly stated that they would produce one. Whenever they do make these statements the AP drools over the story, stock prices jump and I'm sure investors get excited.
Instead, their next gen processor is a 2ghz Pentuim M dothan. Intel should be ashamed of themselves for lying to the public and should be investigated for inflating their stock value though fictional claims about their processor technology.
