I understand Microsoft and SCO are buying up most of the exhibition floor space, and the keynotes are going to be given by Robert Enderle and Laura Didio.
The drives include another key feature of SATA II, staggered spin-up. Staggered, or delayed, spin-up enables the host to individually "spin-up" drives in multi-drive configurations. This reduces the power draw of a booting system, enabling system designers to reduce the size of the power supply and minimize the total cost of ownership for end-users.
Screw that, keep those system designers off my power supply, I want more power not less!!
And make sure while they use Linux you explain to them how lots of big coporations such as Sun and MS paid $$$ to develop the technology that you now enjoy in cloned form for free.
The Wi-Fi access points that will link computers to the Web in Taipei will be attached to traffic and street lights, creating a network that will cover 90 percent of the city by the end of 2005.
The hackers will have fun with that - expect car insurance premiums in Taiwan to skyrocket.
His approach is refreshing when so much is written by opinionated members of the "Microsoft is the source of all evil" camp.
Yeah, you gotta watch those guys, I much prefer the unopinionated members of the "Microsoft is the source of all evil" camp - they write much better stuff.
But if the idea is to have the computer "just work" for someone running a small business, isn't adding WINE to the mix potentially complicating things?
Then it's a little premature to be talking about a self-updating Linux computer, if the computer isn't running the applications a small business would use to run a small business.
But it's not just migrating from Office to Openoffice, what about accounting and business apps like Turbotax and Quickbooks that most small businesses use extensively? How is open source doing in these areas?
Of course they are! We are talking about money, here. Was Coke stupid enough to introduce NEW Coke, yes? Was Intuit dumb enough to introduce product activation in TurboTax, yes? There are many, many examples of corporations changing products for THEIR benefit, not consumers.
I agree, people buy (or bought) TiVo's to avoid commercials. I don't think a business model that supplants their "own" commercials is going to work. Then again, I rarely watch TV anymore and then only PBS so I'm not really affected, unless they make it illegal to NOT watch TV.:-)

And in other news Paul Bremer to receive Medal of Freedom for job done in Iraq... Oh wait...
Yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw the title "Rapid J2EE Development" was: hey, what a cool oxymoron.
It sounds too much like this and I know that can't be good for business!

Wouldn't mind playing with some Amazons myself.
This has Betamax written all over it.
Wouldn't Viagra accomplish the same thing.
2.4! Dude, come on, of course she's not impressed, should be running 2.6!

Can you say - flamebait? I knew that you could.Yeah, I missed that, one covers how a product is developed, one covers how it is released.
will it run Linux?

Not if everyone knows that cell phones now take pictures.
Exactly how are people taking "illicit" pictures with cell phones, that they couldn't take with ordinary digital cameras?
But wait a minute, this is Florida, seems like it would be a story if sewage and sinkholes weren't opening up everytime someone dug a hole.
Uh, just to let you know, as a counselor you should be careful about what "movie" files the kids are looking at on the camp computer.
At least he didn't call it "Knoppix For Dummies".

I understand he was a very fast guy, much to his wife's chagrin.
