So let me get your arguments straight...
a) This free runtime would suck because it doesn't run a Plan 9 vm.
b) Since you guess VMware doesn't support freebsd, you recommend Qemu to run linux, freebsd and win*.
Well, my friend, that's not only twisting the facts, it's wrong.
Plan 9 is an unsupported OS and linux/win* are. So is freebsd. Any vm created in a supported OS will run.
Secondly, Qemu's performance is way worse than VMware's.
Anyone can sit and fantasize about what the motives of an XYZ company are in doing what they do. Much like critquing a work of literature: many times the author himself doesn't know why he wrote what he did and many times his intentions are much more basic than how others interpret them.

Why should we care? How many computers have they deployed? The article has no mention of relevant numbers. Sounds like this is some small, stupid shop that has made misinformed judgements and conclusions about stuff they have no clue about.
The MD5 algorithm is like a hash function and the MD5 sum is the hash key of the data in the file. If the hash key is smaller in size than the data item then collision (i.e. two data items having the same key) is always possible.
The exploit has used the properties of the MD5 algorithm to create two executable files with the same MD5 sum.
You say $345 with an exclamation mark as if that's a lot of money for a portable entertainment device. How much do you think an iPod costs? Or a Rio?
You have missed the point. The submitter wants to underscore the similarity with the IPod by showing that even their prices are similar once you adjust for inflation.
I would't care too much about exactly when the service outages occur, but a summary as to what % of the time the service is down in a year would be helpful. At the very least the state government can provide a web page giving a number next to each carrier indicating service availability in the past 12 months for a zipcode. It would be great if they could break it down according to the month or even week, but yearly data will work just fine. I can't see how that will help the terrorists.
Last year a sweeping Medicare reform bill was signed into Law. This year, health care costs for families jumped by more than 11% and the white house itself has estimated that costs will increase by another 11% next year. My question to both candidates: what will you do to ensure that health care becomes more affordable to Americans?
XHTML,XML,XSLT and a lot of other recommendations started as standards that *later* had robust implementations. Technology that starts without standards if often not fully thought out and awkward, and at worst, proprietary. Waiting for technology before standards will only inhibit interoperability and adoption of the standard.
This is factually incorrect. XML was developed because many implementors came up with their own version of a dumbed down SGML. XHTML was developed to enforce "clean" implementations of HTML for which guidelines were already developed and followed in the community. By definition, standardisation implies existing implementation. Otherwise, what are you standardizing???
I suppose that it has nothing to with the fact that it's a tremendouly difficult and abitious project. You're right. Anything that take 15 years to develop should be scrapped.
Did you even try to understand the post??? I never said his efforts should be scrapped. I said he's got some great ideas, but developing standards is not the right way to sell them.
The fact that Tim has been trying for 15 years to sell this idea with little success indicates that he approach is insufficient. He is pitching the idea just like a startup would, giving cool examples and everything. But in practice, all he is doing is proposing and overseeing standards.
Developing standards for an idea is not what is required to prove that an idea works. Standards should follow successful technology, not vice versa. You need to have companies that make products professionally and offer complete solutions (i.e. make it work real-life situations). Doing it for a very simple example that he quotes ("find pictures taken on sunny days") itself is a big, big deal.
Perhaps Tim should get involved with companies in this field as an advisor/consultant. You know, there are enough smart people out there who could develop the standards. But very few people with his name and recognition to truly ignite commercial interest in his ideas.

Evidently, making fun of the competitor based on rumors is not a part of the "don't be evil" philosophy.

What has firefox got to do with outlook express? Are you referring to Thunderbird? I lost you some where between "web-based mail" and "installed"
Everyone, please shut up and use the internets to communicate. Thank you.

He put an excalmation mark to say something like "even the prices are nearly the same!".

Ignore the parent comment I posted. Sorry
