A sadly unusual point of view. The president might be whom folks think of when presented with the term "US government" but he is not the US government.
I know locally at least, almost all the incumbent members of congress went back for another term. Why is this, when approval ratings are so low?
I'm reasonably sure 64 bit windows supports NUMA as well. I've worked with the IBM x3950, which is a NUMA architecture, and several of the folks (the minority, to be sure) whom I configured these systems for ultimately used windows.
Interesting. I agree here, as I feel WM 6.1 was a MUCH greater improvement over WM 6 than 6 was over 5. I'm using a blackjack II (which I chose for it's decent keyboard, lets me ssh from it without too much pain) and the 6.1 upgrade fixed and improved a handful of things relevant to me. My move from a WM 5 to a WM 6 device brought me almost no benefit, initially, other than improved hardware but the WM 6.1 upgrade has been great.
Maybe at least one arm of MS is getting the picture? The time to compete is here.
The task manager existed in 6, too. It was just less obvious, and slightly less informative (they added per-application CPU utilization to it now)
I've always been able to bring up task manager on my phone, via holding down the home key, even prior to 6.1
I have a samsung Blackjack II, AT&T... it shipped with windows mobile 6, and I had a host of stability problems for quite some time...
I tolerated it, because the keyboard is functional and it feels nice. It's actually quite suitable for use as a terminal, with a few limitations.
About a week ago I upgraded it to 6.1, and interestingly enough all my stability issues have thus far vanished... maybe it's a placebo effect and I've just been lucky, but only time will tell. I can say that I don't have alot of the problems you described, and I think there may be some confusion on where these flaws actually lie at times (poor OS, poor phone, or both).
The browser sucks. no question there... outright sucks, but I don't use my phone for that except in rare cases, so I really don't care;)
i have one of these also. I'm not entirely thrilled with jlime (no sound support yet, and I use sound on mine all the time) but it's a great little form factor and a simple to use device.
Since most more... intelligent people have better jobs than reading captcha it's probably not the cream of the crop working on it here. They should be proud of their 20%;)
Run windows as non-admin (hey, thats how you run linux, right?), and have a scheduled (instead of on-access) virus scanner. Alongside regular backups, this pretty much covers the bases, without the performance penalty of an on-access virus scanner.
But wait. Running non-admin on say, XP, is a royal pain, right? Yes, it can be, because runas is pretty crumby, but this http://www.stefan-kuhr.de/supsu/main.php3 , and this http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/archive/2004/07/24/193721.aspx take away 99% of the pain. (The latter is pretty cool, as it elevates a single console window to administrator rights, while still running within the current users profile. Makes installing poorly designed software a breeze.)
All of the installed software that is in whatever sort of repository you are using, that is...
If you have something outside of it, you still have to update it manually. More irritating, though, is that you may not remember it's there;)

I'd mod you up if I could... to me, it's a simple equation. What gets the job done at the lowest cost, where cost may include time, money, frustration, and a host of other factors.
While, honestly, I have not yet gotten to a point where the "right tool" has been vista, I also am sure that for some people it is. It's quite likely it will be for me at some point to... right alongside XP, ubuntu, centos, and FreeBSD, all of which have a place in my toolbox.
I tend to agree. The reality is that vista takes a boatload of steps in the right direction as far as security is concerned. This is not the problem with vista...
The problem is it takes just as many, if not more steps in the wrong direction with regards to usability. I'm not talking about hardware requirements, although the shear volume of hardware required is irritating, but rather user interface issues that just make the users job harder. App compatibility issues play a part in this too, but much of that HAD to happen, really. It's not (entirely) MS fault that developers failed to follow published guidelines with regards to what permissions applications should need. It is their fault that they made it so easy to do so, but really we should be sticking it to the app vendors to get their act together. Not gwriting apps that require admin (and thus trigger UAC) is something that the app vendors should have dealt with years ago, but you are also largely talking about folks who built on top of code they wrote for win9x, where there was no "administrator" Vista actually does this, forcing (or at least not-so-gently-proding) app vendors to fix these things now and in the future., and if this was ALL it had done I suspect it would have had a much better reception.
As it is, there are too many changes for the sake of change and newly introduced annoyances to let the actual improvements that do exist shine through. It's a shame, really, when you think of what could have been.
Not arguing the value of NASA here, but I think your logic is flawed. 1:10 implies that for every $10 put in, $1 comes out. Your modified number of $8B + $5B would yield around 24%, or $2.40 for every ten put in. Your 20% typical rate of return is actually 120%, showing a profit, vs the NASA numbers which would be a loss.
This is not to say that NASA has no value, just that the math here is a bit off.
I think the doctors point was a bit off... but how bout an example of a major advance in cancer treatment? You won't apply it, yourself, but you could still potentially benefit from a skilled practitioners ability to apply it on your behalf. The open source model is similar in some ways.
On the other hand, I suspect alot of those 100 eyes will be looking at what they find interesting or think needs improvement. Given this, it wouldn't be all that hard to hide evil code in an unusual (and boring) place.
They are not mystery cards. You choose which album you download, but you get access to only one of the available choices... whichever one you decided on.
Each card is not tied to a specific album.

None of the Americans I know pay to recieve SMS. To send though, yes.
It's possible (though strange, if so) that the "battery bank" is actually one or more UPS? This would at least make the statement make sense :)

it's also got folks from all around the world using it, but as for now is DOS based.

I find this one even more interesting... sure reinforces a few concepts I've heard over the years... http://www.google.com/trends?q=sex%2C+sheep&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=1
What, you mean like this? http://www.giantfood.com/peapod?linkid=120
Which doesn't really help the folks who still type single words into the address bar... and believe me, there are LOTS of these people :)

Clearly, you were not around in the early days of IE. The alternatives at the time were terrible. Or, you have chosen to forget said times ;)

They won't allow batteries in checked baggage. They do allow a limited number/weight or such in carry-on.
