My course in VLSI design was many, many years in the past, but what I do remember is that early integrated circuits used metal gates in the fabrication process. That process was later abandoned in favor of polysilicon because poly was much easier to work with at smaller feature sizes (I'm a bit foggy on this one). Gee, so now we're going back to metal gate processes, and we'll have real metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors again?
If this is becoming easier to do at deep submicron level, I suppose processes for making deep submicron feature-sized Gallium-Arsenide MESFET's also got easier? Now wouldn't we just love to have such GaAs chips on our desktops... (I do know I'm forgetting another difficulty in working with GaAs, anyone care to remind me why GaAs is not as common as silicon today?)
Having actually looked at major ISP stats, I know you completely made that up.
What were talking about here is that HTTP is accountable for around %25 of data, however, if you were to magically look, it's actualy 1-3 browser windows (or tabs) per system and one or two IM windows (excluding the 'buddy list' window of your favorite IM client), therefore data-per-single-use is uneven. HTTP takes up less data (unless you are downloading some large file over HTTP, then all bets are off).
They're working too hard. Just use linux as the hosting environment. Heck, Win2k has been confirmed to run on the xbox because of some guys at the Xbox-Linux projects. Anything that can run on top of linux can run on the xbox.
Because it can be done. Half of the open source pojects out there have no "real" purpose, but end up either fading away, or more likely becoming useful.

The biggest fools of all would be the ones actually paying SCO.
Show us some proof you were fired by microsoft to do this and then I'll believe you.
SCO, certify that there's SCO code in Linux and then come back to make your claims.

M$ actually makes that very hard to do.

Someone please mod this as funny. The parent is comic genious.
If we are to be the morally right crowd, then we should at least learn some grammar.

Why not make the ipod run off of rechargeable AA batteries? This would make more sense.
Satan is the one being sued, here.
given the amount of time it took and the amount of time that it might take, I guessed Dec. 31, 2005 (around 5 pm)
two birds with one stone! alright!
I think one of those "specific reasons" is the case here. Firing someone on no realisitic grounds (if it isn't illegal already) should be illegal.
I like how you think. Maybe we should start a movement to make user-proposed polls (along with poll options).
shouldn't this be a poll?
in other news M$ sues SCO over patented intentional operating system backdoors
now I can play me neighbors mp3 collection from my living room!
and then declare the GPL invalid
1. steal linux code and put it in own kernel
2. whine like a microwaved potato
3. declare the GPL to be invalid
4. ???
5. profit!!!
so that's why they're doing all of this legal bunk, it's to get attention!
I wish that this Mr. Anonymous Coward here on slashdot could be my friend. The parent post is an excellent piece of literature.
so the cheaply colored plastic somehow makes it better?
