I agree completely with your M$ v. NS assessment. However, I don't think it is a slam dunk that XB2 > PS3. Sony doesn't suffer from the same problems that Netscape did (they have other problems, but who doesn't?):

Circumventing the Need for a Query Language: A query language is not necessary for accessing data from an OODBMS unlike an RDBMS since interaction with the database is done by transparently accessing objects. It is still possible to use queries in an OODBMS however.
If I simply want a persistence mechanism for objects (and will access these objects via a pre-designed application), then sure, an OODBMS makes sense. However, if I understand a priori that all kind of queries will be executed against the data, I need to design accordingly, and here, the relational model is superior to the OO model: fast access of the data depends on exposing the possible queried fields.
Without this exposure, if I store the data as objects (that have references to other objects), then I might have to traverse ALL the objects to get the result set of some query, and this highly inefficient. So the response to that might be, "then expose all the fields that might be queried," and, thus, you are reverting back to a relational structure...

New flaws in 802.11B

· Score: 2
As noted in several other replies, 802.11a "operates at the 5-GHz UNII (unlicensed National Information Infrastructure) band and can achieve data rates as high as 54 Mbits/s" as noted by eetimeshere and here
But then it occurred to me, if it was the RIAA itself that gathered the evidence (instead of the police) does the Fourth Amendment apply? Or, for that matter, does DMCA apply to Fourth Amendment?
Evidence obtained illegally is inadmissable in a court of law whether or not it was obtained by the police.
"last i checked, it's not illegal for me to go around telling people where to buy drugs. nor is it illegal to write a book telling people how to make pipe bombs. can anybody tell me why Napster is considered differently? as far as i can tell it's just people failing to see the parallels to existing situations only because they're ingnorant of the technology."
So the ruling IS consistent with your argument. Napster is NOT being shut down. It WILL be shut down if it is found (hopefully by due process) BROKERING an illegal deal--for example, a person making copies for someone else that the person doesn't know. And we all know that this in fact happens using Napster. So they will eventually get caught and have to shut down based on just one teeny weeny case...

I recently bought an iMac DV for my 1st grade daughter for the ease-of-use qualities and set it up with an AirPort card for my IEEE 802.11 home network. Setting it up was no sweat and since she uses Macs at school, the ease-of-use thing was a non-issue (I also steal some of her cycles using the DV capabilities for home video stuff).
However, I was astonished at how unstable the system is--I had not had a Mac since the IIsi which, at the time, seemed stability-acceptable. But the an iMac session in our home inevitably ends in a power off/on ritual.
From our perspective, Linux is not an option, so I am hoping that X will be--of course, it needs to support things that most/. users might not know about like KidPix, iSpy, etc...
The headline makes it sound so bad, when it really isn't.
You're missing the point. RH had claimed that the SF office was critical when it opened, and now they are closing it? And what about that business model? It's hard to plan long-term when you base your plan on a certain market cap, and then that market cap gets slashed by 1/10th and more...
For sure, the advantage is for the university, but the examples cited in the article clearly target the client.
On this note, I feel that the article is somewhat misleading, in that all the examples cited are probably taking advantage of optimized communication protocols and point-to-point communications that ONLY have fat pipes. While 180 universities might be hooked up to I2, this in no way means that bandwidth between I2 institutions beats non-I2 connections. This might be obvious (a chain is only as strong as...), but case-in-point:
I ran distributed analysis tests for my research between Stanford and UIUC (both I2 sites) and Stanford and IIT (IIT is non-I2) using CORBA (flame here, but we don't think CORBA was the major hindrance) with the idea that here were two physically comparable distances. For any given analysis, the Stanford-IIT was faster than the Stanford-UIUC run. On the Stanford side, we were connected to I2 via 100Mbps lines. I'm not sure what was the I2-UIUC server pipe, but if you trace the traffic to from Stanford to UIUC and IIT, the numbers that are returned show equivalent times from Stanford to the UIUC I2 router and from Stanford to the ultimate IIT server that hosted our services.

Actually, it's pretty standard M$ practice and not funny (as in kinda strange) at all. Say what you want about Bill, but he is not too proud to dump a homegrown technology to embrace another one if it will positively affect the bottom line and the "conquer the world" mentality. Cases in point:
Windoze tries to be MacOS-like and succeeds just enough to put the Mac on the brink of extinction.
Embracing the web after failing to develop some proprietary M$ thing and going right at Netscape with IE.
Reverting back to a Unix-based HotMail after an NT-based system didn't cut it.
The only question is if M$ embraces Linux, where the money be at? If it's there, don't worry, Bill will find it.

In addition, the speeds you get are more analogous to cable in that the more users there are, the slower your connection is.
It goes even one step further. Oracle + what platform? I don't know any successful enterprise system that DOESN'T use Solaris.
