This is a shame. I remember talk of this when I was in aerospace in the late 90s. I am of the opinion that most of the progress to be made on this type of thing is going to be done in the private sector and therefore the technology will be available to our enemies as well.
Dont forget that ebay charges seller fees and there is a lot of stuff on ebay that goes unsold.
I think google is going to do well here. Never underestimate the power of free listings.
I've been doing AIX admin work for years. IBM has long had a program to let people try out their stuff first that they thought was very compelling. Most people wound up buying rs/6000 gear because it simply toasted other unix boxes.
IBM actually let a dot com I worked for try out a fully loaded M80 ($250,000), 2 B80s and an F80 and we bought the M80 and 2 B80s because their Java implementation and 64bit copper chips toasted Sun at the time and IBM was willing to put their money where their mouth was...
Sun has to be very confident that this will generate much needed postive press and reviews for them.
This is stupid. Mysql is driving a lot of people to open source and is maturing rapidly. You screwballs that want to reduce choice need to question why...
Having recently bought an ipod, I have been very happy with it until I read this story and am already wished I had waited. I wonder when they are going to have built in tv reception.
I quit a high stress job with a big company for one that pays less, is boring as heck and many people
there do not know how to copy and paste but it is stress free and many people have been there 20 years or
so.
I wouldnt go back to the other job for anything even though it was much more challenging and paid much more.
Google lets you remove your phone number from their database so other people can't look you up. They ought to let you remove your search history from their databases as well. I'm going to suggest this in their support forums.

This borders on amusing to show how desperate these vermin are. This is almost like Sun going into the online chat business...

Email the mayor and tell him/her that this is a very bad idea and the police chief needs to be fired.
