Only in terms of actual dollars spent per capita. China has *BY FAR* the fastest growing consumer growth in spending in the world. You can't ignore 1.3 billion people who have increased discretionary spending who wanna buy stuff.
Hi there piece of shit. Congratulations for being such a fucking failure that you managed to have one decent remark followed by only brainless idiot posts since you began your worthless/. account.
Really, you are truly l337. We are all so impressed </clapping>
Sounds like an attempt to overcome the runaway expenditures of Teledesic's failed LEO project
You're right about the expenditures; I almost went to work for Teledesic a few years back, when everybody thought anything that Craig McCaw and Bill Gates touched turned to gold. Then, the bills came from Boeing, Matra Marconi, Motorola, etc... and the whole project began to look like a multi-million $$ boondoggle.
I can imagine a not-too-distant future where wireless computing will be on non-uniform peer-to-peer networks: un-hitched from those hefty telco backbones. Wi-Fi is already giving birth to this concept.
Can you envision a system based on something like spread-slotted ALOHA that moving vehicles (or individuals for that matter) could provide access to each others' "bandwidth slots"?
To me, it's an amazing possibility, and will transform our current idea of computing.
A couple of ago we chose Linux + PostgreSQL backend to power our health IS app suite. It's been a huge hit (> 400 units sold thusfar). We bundle service with the hardware, which is a simple configuration (no keyboard/display, etc)... as an economic decision it was great for our company. Our products *used* to run on SCO (before there was a Linux), resulting in bids with a ~$8K load for third-party software. Of course, oldSCO saw that money, we didn't. Linux was one the best things to happen to our invoicing.
I'm just wondering if increased Linux server sales aren't due at least in part to some of the same solutions being offered in vertical markets like healthcare?

Offtopic? I thought that was funny as hell.
America is the world's largest consumer market

And, as usual, some pathetic AC loser will take it upon himself
Oh my, the irony. Hypocrisy this naked never ceases to amaze me.
There are some real benefits...
I can hear TONS better now.
there's now a first post in your past
One of the many benefits of subscribership...
keep customers sitting down longer in their stores, consuming their products
:)
Heh, just what I need, more of their products. I get no sleep as it is

Now Teledesic is just a memory.
SIGALRM is right... spamming is a client-side, but mostly a *server-side* issue.
I think SPA is an answer, but I'm not a router expert so I don't know how that would be implemented.
