Dell will be offering Vista with downgrade rights all the way through Dec 2010. What that means is that you buy Vista but you will get XP pre-installed and a Vista CD to upgrade the pre-installed OS.
Apple carefully selects the components and controls the drivers that are supported on their OS. That is why they don't encourage DIY configurations.
The key for Apple is a smooth experience with their Hardware/OS integration. If at the $499 entry price point you are still complaining the odds are you are never going to buy a Mac. So understandably they won't really care much about options and favor overall user experience.
Taking credit for your subordinates work and filtering the "crazy talk" to your manager... with those two you can be a very successful manager in any organization.
BeOS has never been and will never be open sourced. There are several open sourced projects to try reproduce its functionality and some go as far as to try to achieve binary compatibility. However those projects are far from complete.
Regarding your question why would anyone...? Hell 'cause they want to, 'cause they fell like doing it, 'cause they like the OS.
Don't dismiss people's efforts and projects because in your narrow mind you don't find a use for whatever they are doing?
Linux would not exist if everyone would think in such a near sighted terms.
I work for an oilfield services company and we have it for a nightmare of finance application developed in Workstation Basic by a Canadian company. We have it in Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Brazil.
That OS is awfull I doesn't even have drivers for the RAID cards that came with the servers. That is the kind of thing that drove them out of the market.
"he is the first leader since the oil boom who has improved the standard of living for the majority of people living there, expanding the public health infrastructure, starting housing projects, and engaging in land reform."
Being a Venezuela currently living in Venezuela I must say that you are so full of crap that you better start reading or shut up.
Economy is at its biggest recession ever with a GDP that is -9% of the previous. Unemployment is at 75%, crime 35% higher than 2002. Inflation 35% for 2002 and an estimated 65% for this year.
The Attorney General is a close friend of him and is also his former Vice-president, so you can forget about fair justice. And a vast amount of judges where removed and replaced using members of his political party. Supreme court was "elected" by a congress that used all sort of tricks to get 19 out of 20 from Chavez party.
Whit this scenario none of the 14 law suits resting in the Supreme Court are going to end up anywhere.
The economic outlook is more devastating as 35 billion US$ has left the country during his government due to his chronic incapability and his choosing of military people with questionably background to head high profile offices.
Corruption is at an all time high and good portion of the military are receiving money for "development plans" that they are not accountable for. So you end up with Generals buying 4 million US$ houses and 150 thousand US$ Mercedes.
Health is not even worth mentioning.
Urban militias have been armed and trained by Colombia's Guerrilla forces with support from the government and that is how you get the embassy bombings.
The only good thing that they are trying but is doomed to failure due to incompetence is that they are planning to host all government systems on Linux.
I have been using this device for more that a year now and it works like a charm. Among other goodies it comes with a cd-rw drive and allows you to make a recovery cd set of any computer protected by the device. I also allows data rollback and backing up files as soon as the user logs on the network/ dial-up or set up your own schedule.
Amiga is not droping its core OS in fact they will deliver 4.0 and 4.2 along with the AmigaOne 1200. The idea behind de AmigaDE is to people to use the same media content and apps regardless of the platform OS and procesor. So that you could play your games in your 3G phone with your pals at their SGI box running linux.
If the construction of the ISS is by all means a small project compared to this one and it's alreday over budget and delayed. Imagine what it would take to coordinate the creation of technology to produce those high amounts of new materials.
This would be an endeavour that will dwarf the manhatan project and puting a man on the moon altogether.
If we can't put a crew on Mars 32 years after setting foot on the Moon there is a very slim possibility of pulling this one out.
Why do we have to settle with one alternative rather than the other.
Companies like Loki have invested a great deal of time porting games to linux and are confortable with that poroces.
On the other hand a new comer can have products very easily on the market while the take head on on flattening the learning curve on a new OS.
This is realy a matter of what works for your company and not something to make a war about.
Besides the more games out there for linux the better.
Plain English: A super fast parallel processor, that translates instructions compiled for any OS and CPU architecture. The catch here is it will remember what went right thus not repeating any previous failed operation. Looks like a "learning chip", the question is will it serve another chip or will it be running the whole show?

This thing pales in comparison to the fact that we have humans that are 100% sheep.

Or you could use http://www.ping.be/~ping6758/ World!OfNumbers to search for the integer sequence.
Tiger will be release 9 - 12 months from now. Those cards will be relatively cheap in that time frame.
Not realy. They have already 20% of the Baystar investment in their pockets. That would make it 10,000,000 so it more like a one and seven zeros

That alone will get him some votes... hasta la vista spam!

Shame on them!
Military Intelligence... yeah!
Not server, not workstation... desktop processor. First 64-bit for Joe and Jane Sixpack with some money.
I'd love to have one of those at work, at home and pretty much everywhere.

So my advice read and then talk about a topic.

It is a pitty that HP discontinued this product.
Now that many developers coding for the BeOS were left hung to dry, do you have recived support from them?

I guess now every one that sucks at Q3A will say: you know those damm long ping times is what is killing me.
Ping latency may make you loose some times but not all times.
