You're somehow assuming that bureaucracy and lack of imminent funding won't affect Rusia, China and American private companies...As far as I understood it Russia's space program is severely under-funded and China's most optimist schedule is man in space in 2012 so maybe it's not that bad.
I've lost the link for now(I just have one in Romanian) but I understood that the European Parliament was looking at a law that wouldn't make it illegal to download and watch movies if you aren't making a profit.
PS: For all american listeners, please note that you have it good, in most European countries it is a crime to break the copyright law, home people were sent to jail for downloading something from DC++.
Look, I actually chose my laptop to work with Linux but that's another issue. For example my other laptop was a very poor choice, I had to go through 2 BIOS updates to get some kind of suspend on Windows. I guess that as far as HW vendors do a half-assed job it's very difficult to fix in software.
I totally agree about the binary ATI drivers - they suck bigtime, but the open source one is progressing quite nicely, more info here http://www.radeonhd.org/
Ok, I'll bite... these guys worked closely with Apple, and then Apple cut them out of the loop what does this mean? Did they have a contract? If so I guess there's no problem otherwise I won't really take their word for it because as I understand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#History Apple bought Itunes predecessor from some guys back 2000
I'm not so sure about that anymore, I recently heard Itunes is the number 2 on-line music store: http://money.cnn.com/2008/02/26/technology/itunes_walmart.ap/ just behind Walmart, they can't sell this much music and not make money. Not sure about the video part though.
That probably won't happen since not doing business in the EU would cost them a huge pile of money, because last I heard the EU as a whole is the largest economy in the world(too lazy to dig up references for that).
Ummm, quick question: what driver are you using? Even though they opened the 2D specs the RadeonHD driver is as useful as the Vesa Driver so no luck for newer ATI cards.
No, not really. In Romania at least there was some time ago an operation called Gramophone. They closed some DC++ hubs, arrested some dudes but for some reason it died out. Anyways I think for most of the ISPs filesharing is their livelihood: for example the once national phone company advertises broad band connections with file sharing.
I think the phones can be configured over the air, I haven't looked into this but when I placed a new SIM(other carrier) in my Nokia E50 the wap gateway and other settings were there.

Wake up, 8.04 does all those out of the box just fine on my laptop.
there is at least the linux test project http://ltp.sourceforge.net/ I see a lot of unit, regression testing and stress tests.

ok probably MS is not dying but I do think you are trolling here: .NET and C# probably you are right,
MS Ofiice not so much, mostly bad press for the ribbon thing
Vista, could you say how is gaining acceptance, again MS allowed OEMs to preinstall XP
IE7, you must be joking, the most stupid interface I have ever seen and speed - not so much
Windows CE has recently been surpassed in market share by RIM - which is probably right because it mostly sucks as a phone OS anyways
Actually I think the guys working on this are Intel engineers so probably they have everything they need.
That's nothing, I live in Eastern Europe(the communist kind) and the lowest option for broadband here is 10Mbps and is dirt cheap as well...
I don't know what laptop you have but on my brand new Lenovo T61 everything worked out of the box, which on Windows was unheard of...
Yeah, that's right because the whatever version of the .NET framework is freaking tiny at 30MB+
Where does it say they have retired the standard screen version => lenovo shop still has this version on sale
Well, I think it depends... mostly when those sued are struggling to survive. I don't really think that the issue is so black and white as you put it.
I think N70 has Symbian v2, on the Symbian v3 signing application is oblig., but you can sign it for free so...
Actually Motorola spun off that business long ago into Freescale
More like 100 billion DM. I don't really remember the exchange rates but I think it's about 50 billion EUR.

Nowhere in the TFA it says anything about under $1000, just in the summary. Oh and BTW: the EEE PC is ~$300, so no quite as expensive.

Yup, that's a fair comparison, KDE doesn't even have 1% of MS resources and anyway they only slipped a few weeks.
hmmmm, I think they already done it...but I don't see Bob or Millennium anywhere :P
