Does this mean adobe is going to provide better support for flash on linux ?

Yea, the closed beta interface was nice, I just looked at it again and wanted to stab my eyes out with a toothpick =/

I was thinking more along the lines of True Knowledge, this project has been in private beta for about 2 years and just in the last 6 months was opened up for public beta testing. What it has so far is limited, but it is growing steadily.

Disclaimer: I do not work for True Knowledge, Google, or Wolfram Alpha, I have just been helping out with beta testing true knowledge since it was a private beta system...

What about a nuclear physicist possessing plutonium?

If they were to re-orchestrate such a marketing plan, I'd like to know so I can apply for the contract :)

Possibly not, but I'm pretty sure the server edition is a little different than the desktop.

Replying to myself, but the text of the draft (pdf)

Might as well include a list of contact numbers, both phone and fax

It's still called ROM because the new chips are EEPROM (Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) Basically, there is a pin that either get's grounded or hot (voltage applied) that allows the writing of the chip, if this doesn't happen it's not writable. If I remember correctly, I haven't been in electronics school for over 10 years now....

That's odd, I do this with my hero (Sprint) all the time.... I thought it was odd when I saw the commercials saying no other carrier could do it since i was doing just that when it came on :)

When did they do that ? Tethering worked the last time I tried it but they don't provide an application for it, I use tetherbot when I need to. It's free and works fine for browsing http, but it wouldn't work to well for vpn or other services unless you can configure a proxy for it.

I have no coverage problems with Sprint and I travel regularly for work... What are you basing your opinion on exactly? I'm not saying that I never roam (and really, since most plans include free roaming, do you track when you roam ?) , just that I rarely have no service and when I am in a spot with no service, I can move 20 ft either direction and have service.

Unfortunately, there's still a lot of businesses running ie6 internally, so if you are (or work for) a software vendor that happens to sell/distribute/support web apps it's still a big consideration.

gzip is great as long as you're not supporting ie6
