Today, I think hybrids make a better taxi than all-electric. I suppose with battery swap stations conveniently place around cities, it could work, but I'd get pretty annoyed if I got into a taxi and found out it didn't have enough range to get to my destination.
1. You don't have to turn it on. Use it if it makes sense for your environment
2. On a disk that is nearly full, many operations run the risk of not having room enough to complete. But at least with ZFS, you can just add another drive.
I guess I would claim that the crucial point in the quality of a movie comes in the writing, acting and directing. The medium plays a part, but I'd rather watch a great movie on VHS than a poor movie in the very best format.
I like this approach, except instead of using your own number, start using numbers like FCC office, local phone companies, FBI, police, members of congress, etc.
A Gentoo model is still making compilation decisions statically. Tuning for a specific architecture can definitely pay off, but there are also advantages for tuning for the operations and data that is driving an application. Never a free lunch, of course, but a JIT (Java or otherwise) frequently has more information to work with.
Verbal contracts can be binding, but lawyers will have a difficult time explaining why, as experts in the field, they didn't go to the trouble of getting a paper contract. I doubt they could win based on what is exposed here. (But remember, this may be just one part of the story.)
Most companies are in the habit of finding security flaws in their products. Some even fix them. But most don't make a substantial effort to share what isn't already public. (Some do!)
Linux, on the otherhand, has only the public mechanism for identifying and resolving security issues. So any flaw that is identified is likely to be public.
And, these numbers don't tell the whole story... you need to take in account severity too.
Getting larger probably has constraints, though using different solutions may provide some flexibility in size. Gravity alone would probably have a big impact on 'eyewear' sized lenses.
I'd guess that the going much smaller is constrained by capillary action.
Another related technology includes ATMs. Banks have fairly effective mechanisms to ensure that a) incoming transactions are fully auditited, and b) outgoing transactions (or non-transactions) are fully tracked.
Open source (or some approximation) of Windows seems like it would tend to further entrench Windows. Yeah, maybe WINE can improve, but fast enough to keep up with MicroSoft's latest? Perhaps Office will have less of an advantage, but I suspect it will be too little too late.

Two things to consider:
1. You don't have to turn it on. Use it if it makes sense for your environment
2. On a disk that is nearly full, many operations run the risk of not having room enough to complete. But at least with ZFS, you can just add another drive.

Money does seem to be more important than votes.
What's next? What will happen to HP? Probably the same thing that happened to Compaq.
External FINANCIAL influence always makes a difference.
