More like the entire political system. Corporations have gotten so close to politicians that the interest conflict is worse than the Cold War. We need to separate corporation and state, and church and state, because religion is weeding its way back in.
Usually 2-3 dedicated owners are all that make money. A few low pay monitors ($7-15 an hour) and some teens who need job experiance and resume bonuses who will work for gametime and free food+drink will fill out a smaller outfit. I know, I used to be one of said teens, doing web development. Then life happened.
Something this big I don't know, but I do know if they're still arround in the spring when I'm up there on break I'll be checking them out.

As stated as a reply to this parent's parent. Use coral. In the articles I've submitted (0/2 posted) my links were coralized.
No, I just keep it in a tab. It refreshes itsself and the tab title changes when there are new messages.
Really, you don't even need a checker.
The only third party app for gmail I use is the firefox extension that allows you to open mailto addresses as gmail compose windows.
Everbody, put a lot of money on fusion. Then say HA WE ALREADY DID IT and collect. Because we have, in several different expieraments, one of which is the VX VASMIR project headed up by the ASPL, which will take us to Mars.
No, I think they mean CVS for office, with the repository idiot proofed and maintaned by Microsoft, that they have full access to and you pay a monthly fee for. Full access to your corporate secrets, corporate colaborative secrets.
True, most geeks won't gravitate toward learning code, but ASM isn't the best starting point either.
Games are okay, but when I was first starting out I felt more comfortable with simpler code, the tricks involved in detecting colisions and modelling physics fed to me as "you must do this". I didn't like not knowing how it worked and how to edit it, and expiraments lead to compile errors. As long as this specific teaching tool/toy/whatever have you doesn't have that problem it might do some good, but there are some elements of programming that one must learn to be a truely great engineer.
Your dentist would end up in jail after your idle toothbrush sent him images of your child in the shower. Your bathtub would be tepid after you got stuck in traffic. Your fridge would order far too much food after you hosted parties, and you'd end up with a constant stream of turkeys after Thanksgiving.
I could of course defend myself to the death about this, or I could say yes, you are right, there are far to many problems with this for it to ever be implemented sucessfully. But that won't stop people using it.
During the inversion of the magnetic field, it will weaken and there will be multipule poles, but we won't lose the field unless we lose the spinning core surrounded by turbulant convection.
The solar radiation is not as much of a problem, most radiation isn't. It is our electronics as another commenter stated, that will fall victim, but not in the massive scale he described. The magnetic field flipping also is not a sudden process, it is slow for the total process, but the interim is volitile.
We will survive this, we have several times, just not yet in recorded history.
Just think. With bluetooth you can have a toothbrush with TCP/IP and optical fibers that sends your dentist images of your teeth. You can send an e-mail to your bathtub before you leave work to have a pleasant 102 degree F jaccuzi bath ready for you. Your refrigerator can keep track of what you buy and order more when you run out.
And yes, then skript kiddies will use exploit scripts to end up filling your refrigerator with pickeled okra or something, with computer and home security firms both jumping on the situation from their areas of expertiese and mergers will result in computer security bundles and home security bundles becoming one big market full of money.
The best of the new generation of Engineers will not get started on games, but will begin with low level algorithm design and bottom up programming. An 80 MIP RISC doesn't have the power for abstraction layers.
When I first began learning to program way back when, processors capable of this had just hit the market. I was taught, instead of writing the program directly in the language, to write tools for writing tools, then take those tools and write tools for solving a problem.
You need to do this once, but there are people who are professional tool makers.
This teaches you on a processor not powerful enough for that layerd abstraction that APIs bring, instead you must write directly in the language for speed reasons.
It will not train the new generations of engineers, it will give good programmers a toy.
He may have built this more for people who want to learn for the sake of learning, not for any particular glory or power.
True, APIs are great, but you cannot be a truely great programmer unless you know what the API is doing, and could at least theoretically craft it your self. Doing it all your self once for the sake of learning it will make you a better programmer when you retrun to useing the APIs because you will know how the internal algorithm is working, and can make your code intergrate better.
I will be an olympic athelete, a member of the Jamacian ski team. I will blog, and I will post my personal media. If they disqualify me I'll take them on at their own game. Sure I won't win, I'm not a gold-metal skier, but I'll prove a point. Then I'll found the Nerd Olympics, and if they threatan to sue, I'll say "Its an ancient game, you can't trademark that!" and prove it in court. I tellyahwhat.
I highly doubt the US government would care. Do you have any proof of Linux's involvement?
Go ahead and file. You don't need the money the filing fee costs.
If the point is negledgable they could get a compotent opinion form a patent lawyer that says they think the patent is bogus. Then they are an unknowing offender and only have to pay royalties. There are no royalties with OSS.
Problem solved.
But then again, they can't even find a target. Linux isn't one face, its many, unassociated, different corporations and organizations.
Sue this!
Strategists and Paychecks won't fix your corporate competition problem. Nor will billions of features that no one will use and only bloat your product. Quality and Control. Thats what I look for in a product. Is it high quality? Does it stay stable after and install or require to reboot? Do I the user have as much or as little control as I want? Will the system configure itsself if I don't want to, but allow me to tweak later? Can I get in and mess with the nitty gritty, but have a nice abstraction layer?
All roads point to Unix or Linux in this case. Almost apple. Almost.

Its like a console, but you can make your own games for it, and its not attached to Microsoft! Yay!
