Just be careful not to have your name mentioned in the same document with a bad guy's name in it. This technology really is that simple and that dangerous.
First, WCDMA is not anything like CDMA. WCDMA is, actually, GSM-style TDMA under the covers with CDMA-style chips overlaid on top of it. WCDMA is not an upgrade for CDMA. CDMA early adopters have to completely throw out their EVDO and 1xRTT and IS-95 networks for LTE. LTE is very much like GSM under the covers. The air interface and underlying network is GSM-style TDMA.
The reason Verizon phones have GSM radios is because that hardware is needed for UMTS and LTE. The GSM support comes free with that hardware.
GSM naturally dovetails into UMTS and LTE. CDMA is a dead-end for all involved. The only reason it was originally used was to oversell the network and allow more customers per cell than GSM could, which it does very well but at the expense of sound quality.
Unfortunately your post had it completely backward.
Install Mono and use PAINT.NET. There is a Linux version already available for Mono-enabled Linux distributions. Since it is written entirely in Microsoft.NET you can not only use the program but also the plugins for it. http://www.getpaint.net/
Finally, the BTX form factor will be reborn. So long have we been complacent with the temporary trend of cooler running chips there is finally the need for the BTX form factor to extend beyond the Dell desktop.
Northern VA doesn't have cheap power, definitely does not have cheap real estate, but we do have lots of good fiber. You can't mow your lawn without breaking some. The vacancy is horrendous. I work in a virtually abandoned office building (upper four floors completely vacant) and pass 20 other empty offices on my way to work, not to mention the data centers that America Online abandoned even before they were brought online.
This was done out of necessity. There are thousands of new devices coming out of Asia that are MIPS32 and tens of thousands already available. Not only are they handheld phones, smartbooks, netbooks, notebooks, and there are game systems like the Dingoo A320.
There are even desktop home computers. In China, the intention is that the indiginouos Loongson CPU, also known as Godson or Dragon CPU, would supplant Intel/Microsoft systems in China. Loongson is a MIPS32 chip.
Honestly I want to see more articles on how people are attacking RC6 and Twofish. Some of us like the 1:1 complexity algorithms, not the Rijndael compromise that was decided upon for AES which gets slower the more secure you want it. I want more exposure of Twofish.
Now that is some good news. Maybe the fire they lit under his feet woke him up. Not that it matters to me, but it would be nice to know where the PayPal donations and Google Adsense earnings were going.
Wow. Imagine all those whiz kids who told their bosses they'd save mad money changing RHEL to CentOS. This reminds me of the Xircon IRC chat client software from a few years ago. Sometimes people just pull the plug, I guess.
He's only really talking about giving up maintainer of the TTY subsystem. Don't sweat it. He's not actually going away from working on the Linux kernel completely.
Sometimes is works the other way. How many times have good developers been beaten-down by inferior, more senior, co-workers who think a "code review" session is really a "watch me brilliantly rewrite your code in front of you" session?
I maintained an open-source project for several years. Open-source developers are jerks. They never accept it when their code just isn't going in. I know they're all smart and I get really good contributions, but sometimes you aren't meeting the need. The overwhelming majority of open-source developers I have encountered are just that: jerks.
Yeah, I mean you can see Benjamin Rand speaking into a medical transciption device as he modifies his will to include Peter Sellers' Chaunce the Gardener in the movie "Being There."
I have to note that the big datacenter concentration of both Google and Microsoft in The Dalles, OR, is powered by copious, carbon-negative hydroelectric power. Discuss.
Why bother visiting old relics? Surely there are more interesting landing sites on the dark side, or the poles, of the moon that warrant more exploration than 40-year-old non-rusting relics.
All this worrisome talk about green energy killing birds, one question remains: why can't we put screens around these turbines to keep birds from flying into them? This won't solve the air pressure injuries with bats, but with birds why can't a screen solve it? Likewise, why can't a screen solve the problem with tidal turbine generators grinding up fish, too?

There is so much wrong with this post.

Ten years? Try since 1985.

That's interesting because all of my Dells are BTX. I guess they're old now.
Finally, the BTX form factor will be reborn. So long have we been complacent with the temporary trend of cooler running chips there is finally the need for the BTX form factor to extend beyond the Dell desktop.
What's an "Amiga Hand?"
I think you meant "Guru Meditation."
The "Amiga Hand," as you call it, is the boot menu on the first floppy-disk Amigas.
Actually even with the massive foreclosure rate in Loudon County it's still a very expensive place to set up shop and live.

Yes I left that out, sorry.
The multicore high-speed chips are going to be a sea-change for computing in Asia.
MIPS32 was not "briefly" used for handheld devices. Not everything is ARM, you know.

That's a great point. Too bad nobody is going to see what you replied to.
You forgot to use the word "inversely" in that statement.

What about Google Voice transciption? It seems to do such a good job I always suspected it was Google's private version of Amazon Mechanical Turk.
