And like most other self replicating life forms infected with "other" viruses, anything infected with the GPL becomes its carrier. The survival of the carrier, and hence the future of its DNA, can easily be attributed to the evolutionary decisions it makes. Think of the GPL as an umbrella under which competing Linux companies are occupied in an evolutionary race, where the viral GPL itself plays the role of a gene, a symbiotic relationship if you prefer.
What happens to Linux companies who shoot themselves in the foot? Well, the genes responsible for this behavior cause the demise of said companies, and in the process get wiped out themselves (Lawyers?). These genes are most likely exceptions to the rule because such behavior is not widely observed. The GPL though, has enough hosts already. Move it!
Here's a potential solution to your "industrywide problem": Stop treating us (your users) as nothing more than a market. We're individual human beings. Right now, we just look like sacks of money to you and your "research" consists of trying to extract that money from us.
It will get interesting when AMD and Intel wage licensing wars against each other. You know the type when you license your design to another company....I can't wait.
It is much harder than you think. Running skype over wireless networks requires TCP/IP or its equivalent over CDMA/TDMA/ or GSM. Ever tried surfing the web on your cellphone? You need a faster processor, a fast network, and a router that knows what its doing.
My logic was based on cause and effect and efficient market theory. Ok, all I mean is that to organize something like Comdex or EEE you need investment from the part of organizers, who in turn are only willing to shell out money if they have some assurance of getting returns. Its like advertising. Why will you organize Woodstock III if you knew only loonies and peddlers selling $10 mineral water bottles will show up?
Stating the obvious, once any industry or niche market starts having expos you can be assured that it is mainstream and it already has a large consumer base. Take AVN Expo for example.
Come on! I thought the propoganda machine was up and running since 1999, why do they need another one? Oh I see, its probably going to be put up as contract work so more money can be funneled into H*B*.
While there is truth to this, it is not a new truth and it is not the complete truth. It's one more mechanism for "losing" data but it's not the first and it won't be the last.... I still think the greatest exposures are social engineering... and the paranoia around security policies don't address that. Sigh
If we hit the bull's eye, the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
The first few posts on Slashdot are so mind numbing. It seems that in a rush to get to the top, posters don't give much thought to what they are posting about and there is hardly any originality! Anything that comes to mind is puked in a rush to submit a first post, and it is a plus if you fill up your post with lots of characters that are a mile long and an inch deep. Because then, they will be modded up as "insightful" or "informative" however full of crap they might be.
Or in other words, whether you realize it or not (I suspect and hope you do) blame the other Linux users. People buying whatever and expecting support is the root problem. If people only bought hardware with good linux support, more hardware would be well-supported.
BRAVO!
Most consumers fail to realize that their wallets are the most powerful voting terminals they have (yep! more potent than electronic voting machines that produce 3000 votes out of thin air). Your wallet is your weapon in capitalism. If you dislike a company, or the company does not live up to its promises, or the company lapdances for any nickles-and-dimes corporations who drain your bank account you should feel free to vote against that company out of power. Viva la.........!
The problem with Slashdot is that the signal to noise ratio of comments has been getting worse and worse.
Well, who is submitting the noise and the signals? The best part about slashdot that I like is the 'slashdot effect' which punishes websites for publishing something of interest to the trolls. I don't think that is going to change. Besides, Slashdot's engine needs some upgrading soon so that stories are submitted faster and news arrives at a higher frequency, eventually the trolls will distribute their efforts uniformly and it won't be so bad.
I personally feel that the FreeBSD section has a better S/N ratio simply because people interested in FreeBSD are few and often more mature that trolls under other no-brainer sections, but that is just my opinion.
Can you imagine, why out of a couple of million news sites only a few stories make it to slashot everyday? Some stories are rejected outright without any reason. What we need in slashdot is some sort of advanced DIGG-like feature where a good story simply bubbles up and bad ones go down.
...how they can come up with numbers like this. For every study like this that shows one result, you can find a mirror study that shows the opposite. Frankly, I don't know a single person that keeps any devices in standby.
They will keep talking about energy wastage and no amount of energy awareness if going to change that. Unless of course, you have to refill your electricy "tank" for $5.00 a gallon, and then everyone will buy the consumer electronics equivalent of a Prius or Insight.
Both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. released dual-core desktop processors in 2005, but consumers are just now beginning to upgrade into the realm of increased hypertasking efficiency. The transition hasn't been entirely smooth--particularly for Intel, whose Pentium D series of dual-core processors was the target of frequent snipes from technocritics disappointed by the limitations inherent in processors' architecture.

Basically it boils down to this: servers like 64-bit processors, and AMD simply beat Intel when it came to affordable 64-bit computing. At the same time, AMD enjoys more support within the Linux/Unix community. Windows64 took ages to arrive and anyone who wanted a 64-bit server in the meantime simply bought AMD and installed linux.
In the dual core deathmatch, once again AMD fragged Intel multiple times over.
And next gen is just a politically correct way of saying, "we are simply making all this faster than ever". The CPU equivalent of next-gen should be more like Nintendo's Revolution than like XBox 360. Alpha64/AMD64 were next-gen, dual cores were next-gen. But now, there seems very little "real" next gen CPUs in line. Intel's house is built of cards.
Basically, the best way to create new jobs is to create problems that can be solved by new jobs. Bill Clinton proposed creating new jobs to fix the environment, someone else created the 'Lets Hate America' which is being solved by jobs at Halliburton and the U.S. Army, and paid for by the taxpayers. Similarly, you f**c up human genes through radioactive experiments, and then you create a new industry to solve that problem. I'm only half kidding;)

There may be a phone for everyone, but we don't yet have a phone for everything.
I have one, and its a technical workhorse. From VoIP to web servers, anything can be made to run on this thing!

Who is asked to slow down every now and then.
Another reason to believe AOL is biased.
Even expert bombers need practice.
I wish someone running windows 2003 professional could start a competition like this.

As if 500 billions are not enough.....
you're telling me, i'm still trying to figure out how people are not better educated than this...
It was a government conspiracy
"if Godwin's Law is cited in response to a Nazi/Hitler reference, the thread should be considered to be automatically over"
...and they continued to work on the The Manchurian Candidate Project...

Patching is for paranoids, I'd rather check out the bleeding edge release.
