What you mean to say, is that Windows 7 supports most ddvices that are currently in production. There are heaps and piles of perfectly functional and useful devices out there that will never be supported by Windows 7 because it is not profitable for their manufacturers to code new drivers.
This is one big reason that older Windows versions will remain in service for the next few decades, or until the devices that people use in their operations actually break and replacements are purchased.
The reason that Pine isn't used any more is because MS gave a bunch of money to UW, on the understanding that they would switch away from Unix wherever possible.
What's the name of the person in charge of Righthaven? Seems to me that there is an evil, profiteering son of a bitch in charge of this hot mess of a company.
Of course electronic surveillance is possible from space. In fact, we have been putting birds up to do just this for at least thirty years.
The space borne receiving equipment does not have to cut the noise on it's own - that is for the signal analysis stage, down the pipeline from collection.
Go ahead and calculate, using your screen size, and your distance from the tv, whether or not you can even SEE 1080. Hint: most people can not, as their screen is not large enough for their viewing distance. His calculation also assumes perfect vision in general, but many people with mild correction needs do not wear glasses for looking at the TV.
Seriously, 1080 is completely pointless in perhaps the grand majority of home theater setups.
They are using what looks to be a 500 lb bomb on an ordinary mounting hard point. This opens them up to using the same UAV for many different missions. There are literally dozens of different bombs, missiles, sensors, extra fuel tanks, and electronic warfare equipment that could likely be simply mounted to this UAV platform and sent up without complicated mission re-tasking. Using a common platform for UAV and cruise missile type operations seems sensible and reasonable.
The Touchbook had potential but they blew it by releasing it when the hardware units were basically on-off prototypes and the software is still beta at best.
The iPad is a hell of a lot better either way, though.
You have perceived something that most miss here: how fucked IBM and a large number of very big companies could be if Oracle really lets loose their patent torpedo salvo. Pretty much all of IBM's big bucks packages are either built on Java, or have significant Java components. Perhaps IBM has the money to pay off Oracle, but maybe not. Forget IBM, though, and look at the small companies doing work with Java who may lose their shirts over this fiasco. Unlike IBM, they don't have an entire building full of attack lawyers to call upon.
Oracle has fired a shot across the bow of Java. It remains to be seen how it will play out, but I am not hopeful.

It was because Jean Louis Gassee (sp?) was a tremendous douche who wanted way too much cash for his OS.
If Xerox had been led by somebody with brains, they'd own the personal and business computing markets now.
Instead they gave it all away for some beads and rum.

This MS flack sounds like he got into the cooking sherry...
Actually creating music is the cheapest part of the equation.

Dude! You got a dull computer.

We need to start suing his ass.

We define the language now buddy. If you don't buy it then you should go to hospital and get your gray matter chequed.
Splitting that hair mighty thin. Using java at all, whatever they call it, was their main problem.
We have no idea what this thing's capabilities are as far as ground hugging and terrain avoidance. It may be fully capable there.
Additionally, it looks big enough to possibly carry some countermeasures.
It has a hardpoint, which could be used to carry lots of things from torpedos to air-to-air missiles, to who knows what.
Subsonic is the order of the day anyway with UAVs.

I find it difficult to believe that we know enough about this system to just dismiss it so readily.
Why would Intel spend time and money optimizing a compiler for a competitor's cpu?
I make my iced tea from good quality leaves, which are brewed normally then chilled. It is criminal to put lemon and sugar in good quality tea.

Sorry. From now on I will reserve those handicapped spots for the people who deserve them. You know, the people who like Flash.
"1. The iPhone and iPad notwithstanding, Flash is beginning to show up on other mobile device platforms."
Yes, beginning to show up, but hardly widely adopted or even out of beta.
"2. Flash is used for more than just video delivery on the Web."
Yes, we've all seen the popovers, popunders, and animated ads. This is 95% of the flash content on the internet - not video.
"3. Adobe provides strong tools and support for designers and developers."
Well, they do indeed. This is the only thing that has been keeping Flash afloat.
"4. Flash's content protection/DRM appeals to content producers."
But it's horribly broken, and there are any number of browser extensions that one can load which allow you to extract the raw video and save it.
"5. Flash remains popular with online advertisers."
Of course, but online advertisers remain unpopular with everybody else.
"6. HTML 5 still has video codec patent issues to work out."
No, it doesn't. This is just plain FUD.
In just the last few months, I have noticed a large number of mainstream news sites ditching flash, as well as automobile companies.
I think flash will live on for a long time, on life support. However its days in the sun are over.
Citation needed? Is the Wikipedia?
Go onto Ebay and start shopping.
Yes, because Oracle has built its whole business on IBM software, right?
Oh, wait, Oracle did no such thing, while IBM is up to its ears in Java.
