Well, competition, even among open source communities can be good sometimes, I believe that's the case specially with web browsers.
What we need is standards. Develop solid, yet flexible standards and allow different implementations. That's how things evolve.
That said, yeah, I'd like for the package management people to get along and develop a standard that could used by any distribution. We are all linux, people. Let's get along.
We have UMPCs with similar specifications today.
Maybe not from Nvidia or ATI, but there's a lot of research and in a couple years we should have a lot more energy efficient components, better batteries and everything small enough for a pratical handhelds.
Now, try emulating a psx game in your decent handheld.
yeah, thought so.
Now if only that psp2 had a touchscreen, 700mhz cpu, 128mb sys, 64mb gfx and we could have emulators (after a few hacks) for every console from atari to nds, ps2 and xbox.
Just imagine the possibilities, playing ninja gaiden, metal gear solid and phoenix wright in the same haldheld. If it was open and run linux then it would be made of win and god.

If people are not buying one because they bought the other, then theyre competing for the same market, despite the large differences in price.
Well, Mercedes and Fiat are both car dealers, they are both competitors in the car dealing business, but within the car buyers universe, not everyone seeks the same things or are willing the pay the same prices.
Yet, nothings stops you from having both.

As I see, DS and PSP don't even compete for the same crowd.
Is it impossible to believe that there's a High-end gaming market and a Low-end gaming market?
Same with Wii vs Ps3/360, when you compare them, they aren't even in the same league.
Wii and DS will be successful because they are cheap and simple, something new that appeals to a mass market. Let's face it, most people are too overwhelmed by hardcore uber complex games where they can't even understand what's going on.
How many traffic accidents are caused by human errors everyday?
Drunk driving, Sleep driving, Stupid driving, Sick driving...
Seriously, most people would benefit from an RELIABLE A.I. system to drive for them.
Once AI systems are more reliable them us, then the time will be here.
Google could but Rockstar, and put so many ads in GTA4 that the game could be given away free of charge and still make them billions in profit.
Just imagine how many products they could advertise(that is the the brands could overlook GTA "bad rep")
Most analysts are predicting windows will lose market share with Vista(cost, drm, etc...), so even if they lose only 5 or 10%, adopting an alternative that could be easily ported between competitor platforms would make a lot of sense(and if the alternative happens to be open standard, than everybody wins).
They have shown a similar functionality in E3, video conferencing, but yes, I'd like to see a firmware update that enables, video and voice conference over IP sooner than later.
And those functionalities integrated in(but not limited to) Home would be great as well.
I think their analog to folder is "tags", you create tags(folder names), then you tag your emails and archive them(put them inside the folder). br.
And their conversation-like message organization is really something in my opinion.
If you're aiming for enterprise-ish why not chose RHEL over Fedora?
It's admirable they are moving to open software, but their priority should be requiring the use of standards compiling software in all government areas.
For most people, religious belief is a replacement for moral values, and for some it's the entire basis of their lives.
People who find meaning in life and have moral values without religion are really lucky. Most people would crash and burn when their most basic concepts are revealed to be just a mean to control them.
A buggy system can be very frustrating but I've found a couple of games that had premises good enough to outshine the technical difficulties. Considering your review I think this fits the profile, I'll get it and take a look.
And about Publishers pushing Developers, have this guys ever heard of contracts?
It's a nice concept we adopted in software development a while back, you should google it, it would make your development cycle much easier.
Popularity in google doesn't necessarily mean sales.
According to dvd empire and Eproducwars blu-ray is currently outselling hd-dvd, an effect widely attributed to Ps3 owners buying HD movies. The average blu-ray movie costs less than hd-dvd in amazon as well.

They claim 10% native speed, which is somewhat fast in terms of emulation.

I though it already supported opengl.

1- do NOT built-in DRM.
2- do built-in better anonymity and security support.
No, but I can see the parallel between that and HD-DVD...
What do you mean by "even"?
It doesn't play DVDs or anything else, or does it?
Well, make a solar powered blimp, and bingo, You got yourself a low cost, low orbit "satelite" which is maintainable and can be upgraded.

Daniel Dennett has some interesting views on how Darwin's theory affects religion.

Yes, but are they worst than Microsoft(I'm not even enumerate why)?? How about Nintendo? Remeber Hiroshi Yamauchi reich?
Botton line, they are all evil companies, but which one is the lesser evil?
You're right. And blu-ray was developed in conjunction by all the companies in the BDA.
It's taken from Famitsu. Not sure how they get the data.

Here's Debbie does dallas in blu-ray, porn in 1080p and multiple angles.
In a objective comparison, both formats are about the same(excluding player costs which will eventually be similar), except for future catalog:
Blu-ray
HD-DVD
Holy crap GEMA are attacking, quick, someone find the Onimusha.
