Those two researcher chicks from the Reynolds Wrap commercials (in actuality the R&D architects for Area 51, deploying the "Hide in Plain Sight" tactic).
I tend to agree with most of your questions -- and I spend my days building interactive websites on Solaris boxen. Solaris' selling factor is being a Unix platform consistent enough that commercial developers can sell binaries for and thereby keep their source closed.
If OpenSolaris is compatible, it kills the commercial version. If it isn't, your questions come back: Why?
There was a time when it was fashionable to say that Linux users hated Microsoft but BSD users love Unix. The rhetoric I hear from OpenSolaris is that they hate Linux but aren't interested in investing the intellectual capital to produce an equivalent desktop product.
The number of people who are impressed with a non-mini distro that dumps you into a text prompt is diminishing.
The first time I saw that, I laughed. The second time a year later, when someone emailed me a link, I laughed because I understood everything he was saying.
We refuse to buy anything Sony! Anything! Except those Blu-Ray DVD sets of Sailor Moon and those MacIntels with Blu-Ray RW drives!/it's a joke, waste your mod points elsewhere
Well, the last time DARPA innovated something we got ICANN in bed with corporate America as the result.
Can't wait for 2010's Senate to explain to the rest of the planet that the Monroe Doctrine applies to our control of solar energy and the mysterious Burns Shield over the rest of the planet.
Continued improvements in both releases of 10.4.3 include an optimized table of system values organized in a hash known as a "registry," a simplified four-color theme, and a sophisticated AI-based Automator avatar known as "Guru" who appears at the bottom of your screen to anticipate Automator tasks by asking questions such as "It looks like you're writing a paper."
WTF is "The Microsoft Community"? When I boot into XP I'm in TMC but when I boot into Debian I'm not? When I boot into OS X I'm not except if I'm using Word?
Before everyone with mod points decides to mark this "Troll," I used to digitize logos for an embroidery company back East for close to five years. The shaded version is impossible and the monochromatic/hi-contrast versions are unbelievably dull.
Logo design is an unpleasant process for everyone concerned, where technology takes a backseat to compromise between several factors:
- an original concept immediately recognizable at a hundred paces - a design which uses colors but is recognizable as line art - not easily convertible to genitalia by graffiti artists - hopefully evoking something about the nature of the client/product (that IBM logo in the corner that Paul Rand designed evokes greenbar printouts or CRT pixels).
The computer industry is one of the worst at figuring these concepts out. Random objects (an apple? a penguin? WTF?), a nonsensical literalism of a GUI metaphor (candy-colored glass windowpanes?), or some kind of Nike-ism (the Atari fuji) are the rules rather than the exceptions (IBM, NeXT, Commodore). Then again, the quality of a logo obviously doesn't ensure success.
Thumbs up for making Debian Sid into a viable product. Thumbs down for wedging the Debian platform. If they had done the same thing to Sarge instead, I think everyone would be cheering instead of bickering.
"BBC News reports that the 'European Space Agency (ESA) is proposing joining forces with Russia to develop a new vehicle for human spaceflight, the Clipper.' The head of the ESA permanent mission in Russia also told BBC that the Clipper 'is meant to service the space station and to go between Earth and an orbit around the Moon with six crew members.'"
"Future plans will include random explosions and inert probes being lost and/or smashing into planetary surfaces. Only then can we consider our effort that of a mature space program."

Seriously, this sounds like something out of SomethingPositive.net.
...can we expect Martians to come up with something better than "Day of the Triffids"?

Apple isn't fond of kernel extensions any more, either, because they have a tendency to only work with the version of OS X they were written for.

They're testing the waters. If it succeeds enough to set precedent:
1. Sue NSF for all their research in time travel
2. Calibrate DeLorean to 1995.
0. Profit!

Good: I can finally get a working version of my pancreas.
Bad: when I close my eyes all I can see is "PC LOAD LETTER" blinking.

It's the subject of the only Tom Cruise movie you can admit to watching, that uber-kewl 3D IMAX documentary.

Hopefully encryption will make this a little more secure than regular cell communications.
