HP (and the OP) seem to think that they have something revolutionary here. Actually, this has been around for over five years already: http://www.chippc.com/thin-clients/jack-pc/

Funny you should say that. It has never been easier to get PHP running than it is on IIS 7. Two clicks in the Web Platform Installer and you have a working PHP installation. Three more clicks in IIS Manager and you have a working, and pretty well-configured, PHP installation. Need to run two versions of PHP for different sites on the same server? Guess what? It's just a few more clicks. Enable and Disable PHP extensions? One click. Since we updated to IIS 7.5 (Server 2008 R2) from IIS 5 (Server 2K), we have moved several sites running on old LAMP servers over to three Windows Servers and have had no trouble at all with any of the PHP installations or any of the site migrations. It is true that it is now harder to install PHP by hand in IIS - but it makes no sense to do it that way anymore.

So basically, Asimov was right when he predicted that any interstellar travel would require death. See I, Robot chapter "Escape!" (or short story "Paradoxical Escape") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape! He was just wrong about whose death it would be.

Maybe you'd be interested in a Tata Nano.

Most configurations of the Toyota Sienna minivan now have the backup camera standard and the price has not increased significantly from the last model-year that offered it only as an option. This indicates that the price difference in other vehicles is much more of a "convenience charge" than the cost of the system. If it is in every vehicle, there will be no added convenience and therefore nothing to charge for.

Am I the only one who has seen drivers with a rear camera hit something or someone because they looked ONLY at the camera and not at the mirrors or out the windows. I think that when more vehicles come with a standard backup camera, there will be more such incidents, not fewer.

I measured average response time for a range of single-client single-connection to 3 clients, 10 connections each. There were no significant changes to the setup except Apache. Yes, I know it is entirely unscientific. No, it does not represent real-world traffic for the publicly accessible server. It's still a good indicator of improvement.

I have been running Release Candidiates of Apache 2.4 for a few months, on an underpowered and overloaded old laptop. The performance improvements over 2.2 on that same computer are really quite noticeable.
