That may be true, but I would consider OS X for x86, "Way beyond the hype."
In fact, I think it could be the only thing that would be "way beyond the hype."

What's interesting though is that if you look frame by frame at the video whe they change the screen orientation, it draws the main part of the screen and then draws the menubar. Either they are being very elaborate in their hoax, or its real. I would expect a pasted image to just drop in place with one image for one direction and another for the other, no real screen redraw sort of function noticable. However, it would be wayyyy more convincing if the device were being held while the screen changed, because then faking it by altering the screen images later would be much harder to pull off.
Good analogy, except that along with holodecks, they have scanners that can scan your DNA. Come to think of it, since this is the case, why to the y need the cheesy passwords to activate the self destruct mechanism on the ship, the ship could scan the captain, first officer etc. to verify their identity, oh except the other Will Riker could cause problems that way...
So, when the price point for DVD players is around, what $120 bucks, the manufacuters are going to add flash ROM? No way, it would add too much cost to the players to compete, even $5 extra per unit would be too much for thier margins to handle, it won't happen.
I wonder what kind of sweetheart legislation the phone companies are going to look for to be convinced to put the "hardware" in to let everyone in the entire US access their page at the same time (I'm thinking April 14th for example).
That would be a lot of fiber they'd be needing, its not just about servers.
I agree. We have a pressing need for some good source code control software. Plus, we've got Oracle to boot, so the enterprise edition might just meet our needs very well.
I'll have to look into it. I can't say this was a bad move by VA.
Any company that carries out these kind of practices (specifically actively locking certain browsers), isn't worthy of having business done with them.
Oh, but when you have a monopoly people won't be able to avoid it. For MSN it truly isn't that big of a deal. But what about the future change to the EULA for.NET that will require.NET developers to deny access to their sites to "certain" browsers.
I know this sounds kinda strange, but this terrorism stuff really pisses me off because it distracts mankind from what we should really be doing, and thats....

When missionaries from the United States go over there to help (as missionaries are wont to do), they get put in jail. They may end up getting executed. That sure won't lead to hordes of volunteers to the peace corps. to go there.
What is so amazing about this situation is that there seems to be a great hostility even to those who come to help. It is riduculious to insist that a culture that violently resists help from some of the most peace loving people from the US (the afore mention missionaries) is justified in its support of terrorist attacks against us.
The only possible outcome of this is whats happening. America will not stand for this and will fight back. A simple study of American history would have pointed this out to the terrorists. You can debate all you want about whether its right or wrong, but the will of the American people in times like this is to strike back and our leaders are doing that. Knowing that the terrorist obviously realized this would happen you would have to ask if the poor conditions in their country were the root cause of this. The terrorsts have done nothing that will help the people in their country. In fact radical islamists NEVER do whats best for the people in their country. Don't cry about how we should help them more, the radical governments won't let us help their people. They want them starving and terrified of them to keep their power. The best thing we could do for Afganistan is help them put in place a deomcratic, tolerent government that atually cares about its people after we send the Taliban to hell. But the chance of that happening is just slightly larger than nil.
Not just open source software. It sounds as if this would render my:
Home CD player
Car CD player
DVD player
Computer (Even with old versions of windows)
VCR ??
and possibly TV
Home Stereo??
Unusable with new content. I don't know about you,but I think this could result in very large protest from the common folk if this is passed. The above list would cost me well over $ 2,000 to replace with stuff that's on that list (even more if the new TV HAD to be HDTV).
This is utterly disgraceful. I know customer service is absolutely utterly and completely dead in this country, but this would be outright customer abuse!!
Or maybe is Microsoft's fault for having coders who didn't make IIS immune to buffer overflows in the first place.
In my opinion, patches should be few and far between. If you have to get a new patch even every month than the software company who wrote it really screwed up.
As a Christian I have found my-self close to stepping across this line and have said things and thought things for which I have later asked for forgiveness.
On this note I am trying very hard to rember to not generalize about Muslims.

Yeah, it does, but if you use their webmail features, it gets turned off.
Webmin is not a tool for apache, it is a wholly separate product that runs on a different port than apache.

You can turn the PC's into thin clients.
See: Linux Terminal Server Project
That's what you could do with the PC's. They talk on the site about building both the server and the terminals out of PC's.
Thin client are the way to go. Easier to support, maintain, roll out software to, etc.
Yeah, like the MPAA will let that happen.

I would have to agree. As an HP-UX administrator, I would say they've got the wrong message coming trough loud and clear.
Time to look at Sun and IBM, at least they actaully try to market their machines.
Sure, but then they would probably be laying of the people best suited to help in that effort.

Ahem, how many Canadians died in the Trade Center, the last I heard about 500.
Don't spout that rhetoric about having to appease the fundamentalist Muslims. They want to blow us up, fine. I want them all dead.
I'd assume it would be Exchange vs. Notes, though they never say that.
Give me a Notes server anyday. Oh wait, I already have three and I've never had to rebuild them after an e-mail virus outbreak.
