And you anticipate the number of desktops to overcome the amount of available ipv6 addresses in how many years?:)
If I'd have to make a guess, I'd say the demand for servers goes up pretty much at the same pace as desktops. "Cloud" computing will take care of that.
On the other hand, it pretty much is Microsoft's fault for encouraging the user to go into a dumb un-automated point-and-click usage mode. Most windows users don't even dream of automating the repetitive things they do!
I haven't used foxit very much but of the pdf readers I've tried (evince, kpdf, epdfview, xpdf), evince evince seems to behave closest to what I would expect a pdf/document reader to behave.
At least for music, something like magnatune is a good example. Tv shows could be distributed via bittorrent as normal avi files with comercials embedded, you know, a bit like tv but without the tv.
Use a little imagination and you will find many ways of making money from selling something else than the actual copies, which cost nothing.
It might not be a wine wrapper but it sure feels like one!
It works slow as hell (read: slower than firefox) on my arch-laptop and everything feels very windowish, single clicking on the url bar selects the text like it does in the windows firefox. Do not want.
Hope it gets better for the official chrome release.
Nah. I own a pair of HD-555 and have been drooling for a pair of HD-650s since I had the chance to hear them. I don't consider myself a real audiophile, they just sounded that much better:)
But instead of the companies developing and keeping the projects in house, they would now have to release it as open source so other companies don't have to develop the same software (and can concentrate on actually doing what they do for money).
Of course, projects that nobody else would benefit from shouldn't eligible for government funding.
I know you're trying to be funny but that's exactly what the fission reaction used in power plants is. That's why we get more energy out of it than what we have to put into it.
Even if it wouldn't be possible to use as "free energy", think about think about the possibilities of antimater in some sort of power cell. I hear antimatter has a pretty good mass/energy ratio:)
Seems like I should have checked things out a little more befor posting, I always thought it was the majority of the source that was open and only a little blob in the direct x -support part that was closed, seems like I was wrong.
And sorry about that transgaming/transmeta mix-up. I was trying too hard not to mix them so I did:)

You don't even have to set the entertainment industry back to the 40's. Starwreck is a good example of that.

True. Parent should've linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woosh instead.
Because they might not need them or have room for them? You don't go off buying 10% more milk when it's 10% cheaper, you save money.
I guess the homes that would be heated will already have some sort of heating, maybe they will use that to compliment getting less data center heat.
Wait, it wasn't a joke?
Seconding that, my lenovo x61t with arch linux already boots faster than my nokia e61i. And I haven't even optimised my boot sequence.
Bleh. At least there are some achievements left for us high UID:s.
I am waiting for the **IA to sue Facebook for "aiding assisting making available." That will be a fun one to watch.
fixed that for you :)
Uh oh. I feel pretty embarassed to admit this but it seems like the chromium I installed via AUR (arch user repository) actually IS a wine wrapper :)

That's how the mailboxes in Finland are positioned. Would be cool if they did it for garbage too.

So they are free but they are not free to not be free?
Don't worry, the list only got worse after that.
I allways use vi, you insensitive clod!
Actually, I haven't and a link to a nonexistant wikipedia article didn't help me much :)
You seem like a guy one can trust on. Of course I would tell you!
how are you going to extract it?
Maybe you don't, all you have to do is fling blobs of matter into it and collect the radiating energy
