There's a reason (two, actually) 1: VIA chips, although they aren't known for stellar performance, are usually pretty low-power (but nowhere near ARM-based stuff) 2: VIA produced something called the Nanobook, a reference design for the subsub-notebooks. Two machines have been released under this design: the Everex Cloudbook and the Packard-Bell Easynote XS
For comparison, here's what we get from Insight (our local cableco monopoly) Standard cable (70 ch + local broadcast in HD) + some free VOD + DVR Landline, unlimited across the USA 10/1 internet Total bill is ~110$ a month (DVR is rented). VOD movies are 6$, 14$ in HD
FIOS also makes calls between your land line and Verizon cellphone free. AFAIK (dumped Ma Bell months ago), AT&T has a "Unity" plan that'll give you unlimited between all AT&T (land and mobile) lines. And I assume T-Mobile's upcoming VOIP service works the same way
"...Steve Ballmer showing up at Yahoo's door with a baseball bat in his hand." The corporate world would be so much more interesting if business was done like that:)
GCJ is a compiler for Java. In other words, it takes Java code (which normally runs on top a VM), and compiles it to native code. It totally defeats the purpose of Java being cross-platform, but it's good if you only know Java and need native-level performance
If necessary (which I doubt), they'd use the fact that the Olympics are bringing great pride to China, and it is an honor to have our house bulldozed for our nation. And anyone who talks back is a Western sympathizer, and gets a ride in the van to FarAwayLand, after which their house is bulldozed anyway
Considering both WebKit and Gecko (the rendering engines in Safari and Firefox) are available under the LGPL, it's quite possible that some Gecko code seeped into WebKit or vice versa. I'd highly doubt it, however.
I haven't seen anything like that with my new phone. Granted, it's a Blackberry Pearl, but T-Mobile hasn't crippled it one bit. The camera, BBMaps (which will be upgraded for pGPS and POI next week), web browser, media (videos/music), backgrounds, are all untouched, and the web/email service is 20$ + the voice service for all-you-can-eat. I can even (gasp) set ringtones from my private audio collection!
Extrapolation: the machine you had at home was the fun one. True whether Beeb, Spectrum, C64...whatever. I'd have to second that. When I was in (American) grade school, we had Macintoshes which would obviously kick the ass of our Packard-Bell IBM clone at home; yet I always remember the "fun" stuff (QBASIC, Wolf3D, Warcraft) happening on the 386 at home.
The only reason I've ever bothered with.docx is when I was doing a research paper (at school, didn't have my Ubuntutop on me), and I discovered '07's References feature. Having Word handle all your citations for you is something a student can't easily pass up* (and naturally, saving to.doc strips the references).
*Yes, I know there's LyX, but I've yet to find a portable version that doesn't crash/burn on startup

R-click the Search box on Wikipedia.
Click "Add a keyword for this search"
Put something in the Name box
In Keyword, put something like "wp"
Click Add
Now, when you type "wp foobar" in the address bar, it runs a Wikipedia search for foobar
Gears stores everything locally in SQLite, but you can save it to Word, ODF, and PDF
All the storage is done server-side, but yes, you can save locally as ODF

Everyone always seems to forget viper-mode
So it even works on w3m on AIX?

Read TFA. This IS cloud seeding, they just never refer to it by that name.

You're on Slashdot, home to the finest trolls in the galaxy, and the best you could come up with is a Rickroll?
C'mon, at least step it up to 2girls1cup
Which, AFAIK, also used blue lasers
Install Linux in Java, on a BD player? Isn't that like putting Jiffy-Pop in the microwave, outside of a supernova?
That's precisely what it does.

Ah, the days when GOTO made sense...
Sorry, your first post didn't have enough characters to meet the reserve. Try again some other time.
Didn't this happen a few years back? Level3 and Cogent, IIRC

I'm betting GP meant "open source", not "operating system" Usually, people use OSS(oftware) instead, for that reason
