But if you steal your car back from an impound lot, that is definitely a crime. Don't ask how I know.

With all the free press they're getting, I'd say they're scheduled to lose one every 30 days or so.
It gives us VM's - lots and lots of VM's. I can reproduce a production app environment entirely on one quiet little box, including the load-balancer, firewall and name servers. It used to take a half a rack of loud, expensive servers all with disks and other stuff that breaks and needs monitoring and replacing. I can't wait for the 8-core chips to become affordable.
What about this: the SSD Ram Disk (SSDRD). It's exactly like a normal RAM disk, but it simulates an SSD. It would be supremely faster to write to an imaginary SSD rather than an imaginary HD.
Patent!
It's like a motorcycle. Why get a new motorcycle every year? It's a lot cheaper just to keep using the same one, with the same engine. Just replace the oil, tires, brakes and other things that can be replaced. Maybe when you get really bored of it, you can paint it.
You can do exactly the same thing with your girlfriend or significant other, except for the oil, tires, brakes and other mechanical things. The paint too. Otherwise: exactly the same.

Oracle is free to conclude that closed-source software makes them way more money. So they shouldn't be surprised in "X" years when open-source databases that are just as good as Oracle are available for free. I think they call this "being SCO'd." How many more companies will hamstring themselves by not looking more than 2 or 3 quarters into the future?
Two things. And I call them
Kin One and Kin Two.
These Things will not bite you.
They want to have fun."
Then, out of the box
Came Kin Two and Kin One
And Sally and I
Did not know what to do.
So we had to take hand
Of Kin One and Kin Two.
We took them in our hand.
But our fish said, "No! No!
Those Things should not be
In this house! Make them go!
"They should not be here
When your mother is not!
Put them out! Put them out!"
Said the fish in the pot.
Common sense needs no citation. And your meme button is stuck.
You got it. Just as our Grandparents rose up to fight the tyranny of the Nazis and to free Europe and Asia from the Axis powers, we shall take up arms with our servers, firewalls and steady supply of caffeinated beverages! To battle my brothers!
I have the Kindle 1.0. I read it practically every night, have been doing so for close to two years.
I can read e-ink for hours and hours. The battery life is outstanding. Both can load up all the free books you want. The Sony and Kindle have virtually the same experience except -
- Kindle has the Amazon store at your fingertips. I have to admit, it's pretty convenient. I have bought maybe 4 or 5 books.
- Sony can check out library books - ePup and PDF.
Now there are tons of competitors but these are still the key deciding factors.
My wife wants one. It can be used anywhere in the house for -
- Facebook
- Email
- IM
- Light browsing
- Looking up recipes
- Light reading
And it's easy to use.
I don't want one, but that doesn't mean I'm dense enough to think *nobody* wants one. I think Apple's biggest obstacle is that a lot of people already own phones or Touches that can do all of this.
