Would it be a complex system to write though? I mean, beyond the 'all software is complex' type response, is it a complex system or just not an 'interesting' one?
as soon as the words 'stock market' and 'fibonacci' were mentioned i got '10:15, restate my assumptions' and the music in my head. glad i wasn't the only one!:D
for anyone who doesn't know, this is what we are referencing.
i originally used cairo-dock, then avant then gnome-do/docky.
now i am back using avant with gnome-do.
docky was great (and really responsive) but lacked a few features that i wanted to be able to get rid of the top gnome panel completely.
with avant and gnome-do now i have pretty much everything exactly as i like it (a couple of minor exceptions, but i have workarounds for all of them anyway), without needing any extra panel at all. avant has come a long way since i used it originally. you may want to give it another go (if docky is lacking for you in some way)
it looks like there is a beta version of IBM's 'Lotus Notes Traveler' for Android. Have you had a look at that? Apparently the final version is due out this year.
that's very true. i was, however, responding to the way commodore64_love worded 'why not use', which is generally read as present tense. the main point though was the fact that running 9x was not a viable solution for most who just needed one or two legacy apps running in a 'stable' environment. the fact that virtualisation wasn't really available back then made a stronger case to use wine where it worked.
Well, until the app crashed and hung-up the system, due to braindead cooperative tasking
i think you answered your own question...
"but wait", you may say. "put it in a vm"
that will stop a whole system locking up, but it's a pain to boot a whole vm up just to run one app which runs under wine anyway (if it doesn't then the question is irrelevant anyway).
hahaha i remember back in the day trying to argue with a guy at school that my 'xt' machine was faster than his '386' one because i had a turbo button and he didn't. it was even called 'hal 2 turbo' from memory, which, after having seen 2001 space odyssey is even *more* awesome than i thought back then haha
firstly, can we all try to learn what a concept is before brandying it around?? anti-competitive *only* has any relevance when a company is a monopoly. ibm has not been in this position for decades now.
secondly, ibm are not *forcing* anyone to do anything. install what you like on their hardware, they are only making a recommendation.
you know, i didn't check who posted that wikipedia article and assumed that it was someone showing the previous poster that it was the companies releasing the phone, not the platform that wasn't 100% open. hahaha he rebutted his own post!:D
once again, you come here claiming to know things that make us all look stupid, and yet all you can actually say of it is ridiculous predictions with no evidence whatsoever (other than the aforementioned 'you are all stupid and i'm not' type nonsense)... perhaps you have been spending too much time with 'dr' gene ray, the 'worlds wisest human' (self proclaimed of course - www.timecube.com ). your arguments are very similar to his. show us one bit of evidence that this 'lattice' is real, and, more importantly, able to be accessed in any meaningful way. your blog has no evidence to support this whatsoever, so i'd like to know (truly, i would. i am more open minded than you would probably think) where it is you have based your assumptions on. i am sure i am not the only one here who would actually like to know more about this amazing discovery.
exactly my thought about you... you are of course entitled to your own opinion, and no one can stop you posting online about it.
if, however, you start claiming things like "physicists are just as ignorant as the man in the street about the nature of motion", or "Yep, physicists do believe in magic even if they claim otherwise" then you had better have some damn good evidence to back your claims. if not, then you are just being a "pompous and condescending asshole" yourself when you post such drivel every chance you get on forums such as this.
get some real evidence or go back to your blog and shut the fuck up.
not necessarily true. i have had many cases where i have purchased something from someone who has been completely open with describing any limitations etc of a product. i actually find i repeat buy off that type of salesperson far more than i would someone who has talked something up and failed to deliver. usually if you show that you know what you are talking about and you will see through any attempts at deception, and that you are not an arrogant prick then they will open up and be much more down to earth.

in this case, yeah, your lawyer friends would be wrong. maybe you should let them know that.
wow, they look like fun!!

I don't know why I'm yelling, but I am!

hahaha yeah, good point. enjoy my money, you bastards! :P
i live in a country run by morons.

even though they are not the cheapest, i recommend them to everyone that asks me about adsl.
also, where i am at the moment i can't get adsl, so i have one of their 3g sims to use. the service has been great (although i much prefer dsl)

also, it would have to be microscopic..... oh wait....
wrong series...

you have made a very strong point, but not the point i think you wanted to make. congratulations, you ignorant moron.
i wonder then, if in time to come, carbon-dating may be replaced by phone-book-dating as a means to determine fossil age?

from my perspective, of course...
that was the least scientific 'scientific blog' i have ever read... with the obvious exception of timecube...
you need to learn the physics you are debating, saying 'from my perspective' doesn't a theory make...
My turn!!!! -1 Flamebait.....
hahaha only on slashdot would that be modded 'informative'
nice work :)
