I'd rather have an open-source Pitfall 2.
By contrast, if you wanted to resurrect, say, WinCE?
Have you ever considered a career pitching horror movies to Hollywood studios?
...and it is amazing how hard it is for some people to understand the difference between losing market share in a saturated market and your market share growing slower than a still expanding market. In percentages your market share may be declining even though your sales are still growing.
Uh, the definition of "market share" is the percentage of the whole, no matter the size of the market. If the percentage is going down, then by definition they are losing market share, even if raw sales numbers are increasing.
Whether the most important number is market share, raw sales number, amount of profit, or something else, that depends on who you ask.
I already have a program to read all logs, more or less.
So what program do you use, and what's wrong with it that it doesn't quite let you read all of the logs?
Boeing has more union employees. Democrats are always in the pocket of BigLabor. Boeing is going to get favorable treatment from a administration led by a Democrat.
Seems like you could have put in more effort, but I'll give an extra point for the nice use of capital casing on "BigLabor".

ISPs should provide a pipe with a fixed bandwidth the user pays for.
If that's what you want, most ISPs will gladly sell you guaranteed bandwidth. It just might cost a bit more than $50/month for 10 Mbps.
Well first off this wouldn't download except on wife. But that's a stupid expectation.
Heh. Hehe. Heh. Heh.

I am not number 2!
I argue that the iPhone and iPad really should not be called a "computer" (unless you also want to call your microwave oven, TV set, A/V receiver, DSLR, DVD/BD Player, VCR, etc. a "computer")
Some of those are computers. Most new televisions and Blu-Ray players run Linux.
Both the Libertarian Party and Green Party have promised to put a stop to the spying.
Didn't a bunch of Republicans and Democrats make that same promise? What kind of results have we gotten from that?
LIfe expectancy at birth doesn't really apply to many slashdotters - not many of us are under one year of age.
Boy was I fooled.
Even if the monthly fee is the same as the fee for a service-only contract (in which case the USA phone market is even more screwed up than I thought)
You haven't been following mobile phone stories on Slashdot much, have you? For years, you paid the same price for monthly service whether you got a subsidized phone from the carrier, had completed the two-year contract, or didn't get a phone from the carrier at all and brought your own. T-Mobile changed that about 5 years ago, when they started offering a plan that was $20/month cheaper if you didn't have a contract and subsidized phone. Now that T-Mobile is advertising this more, the other carriers are just starting to implement similar plans.
