most people on this thread seem to assume wireless won't evolve any further, the argument is that the expensive infrastructure roll out of fiber may be worthless because it is superseded by wireless
what do users really need at home? 50mb/sec is going to be enough for most users to get TV and internet, this will be sustainable over the air
the uk is laying off building out its fiber infrastructure to the home, maybe this we will shoot ourselves in the foot but if wireless tech really takes off then any fiber investment could be wasted,
next they will be confiscating small arms, explosives and class a drugs from people entering the country (these policies may currently in effect it has been may years since I have entered the USA legally)
what if I want my photo on google? what if I don't want to be defaced? and find it insulting? can I sue for posting an altered image of myself online? what if I have a picture of my face on my t-shirt?
if this leads to the discovery of life where will this leave creation theory and the believers we are the only intelligent lifeforms int he universe? (probably still with their heads stuck in the sand)
I think we can expect this to be met with a lack luster response after recent announcements it was a given, this doesn't remove it from being one of the most exciting discoveries in our lifetimes however.
Now if we can only discover a way to efficiently utilise our water resource on earth in a manner to provide power and life then we may reach a position where we can pop of to mars and sustain some quality of life..
The ironic thing of this may be however we have just destroyed the Martian "Ice cap":D
its not just about the online experience, its about an ergonomic and potentially physically damaging experience,
and you weren't using an AppleII when the rest of the world was having content delivered for dual core processors with 2gb of ram and 17inch monitors.... the analogy just doesn't work that well,
low cost of entry is all well and good, but is the experience going to be like? a poor entry experience will leave users with a bad taste and probably less of a willingness to push forward on the internet?
its nice to have price targets but we also need to set a standard of acceptable performance, ergonomically we could end up with a lot of people with serious ailments because not enough thought has been put into design.
Ultimately the industry needs to standardize and agree specifcations, we arn't playing with techs that can chuck an EEE around and hit their quad core when they need to do serious work, we are dealing with people who will have these as their prime working environment and its unacceptable to push out 3rd rate products to 3rd world countries and give them problems the developed world has solved pretty much in the past decade.
the original sierra games were written by one or two guys in a basement:),
sorry but with the amount of quality content out there with good music and awesome graphics your argument is redundant, previously guys had to code everything out but now with photoshop and flash its much easier to develop games
look at quake, very advanced game, but now with devkits people can knock up better looking games in hours, and there is substantial creativity out there to produce the content, not just half a dozen guys with access to the tools, there are now millions:)
Things have changed into the FPS realm, gamers are not really being brought too much out of this, look at portal, that was puzzley, also postal 2 and 3 and half life have ongoing narrative and puzzles
i loved the scumm engine, i love kings quest and space quest, i would love to play new titles, but quake and doom changed the market, why play pay $50 for an adventure game when you can play challenging games with better graphics
also games have gone online, an epic production like space quest could be knocked up in flash in a few weeks by one guy at little cost, gamers are also turning online for puzzles, the purple room games use the same disciplines as the old adventure games
things have gotten harder and more logical, no more need to take 5 mugs, melt them across 5 screens with some grog just to let a prisoner out:)
why should they force companies to stick to a license, isn't this just OSI nearing closer to the same type of control corporation impose on their software
if there is a such a thing as true OSI then why do we need licenses? open source = you can see the source I don't think the definition should have to apply any further than that if companies dont want to

Hello there
I was listening to an interview with one of the visionaries of this technology and apparently GPS will not be used as it isn't as accurate as their algorithms.
personally having RedHat involved with fedora makes me feel more comforable about using it,
I currently have around 200 fedora boxes, it is not easy as a sysadmin looking after them, but fedora has always developed, I see the short lifespan of releases being the downfall of it being chosen, it would have made more sense to make a distro that has a LONG life span.
This is a good thing, ultimately this will mean continued development of Fedora and means it will not fizzle out like some other open source projects and community run distros.
Fedora is a nice distro, hopefully they can address the upgrade path and legacy issues, I think security legacy updates should be brought in house and distributed amongst the update mirrors.

if you feel this way then use CentOS
