Don't even try it. We need local solutions that scale ''left'' down to some kind of district/relational size. In other words it IS all about who we are, plus where we want to grow as people and think long-term and quality of life while doing this.

Facebook is a Web site that's privately owned with an end-user license agreement the user must adhere to that's more heavily supply oriented than demand based IN TERMS OF CONTEXT, not to mention all that data and information.

They'll begin to reverse engineer, drop api support or strip the api's down ( Google never will ) and could implement Web performing, .NET-centered stuff at the first opportunity to contravene all of your open activity.

"can-you-see-me-now dept." NO! shit! This is radar. How do you know what it is if you really don't know where?

No, I AM a moron in this department and that's digital archiving and keeping numerical track of user posts. Never mind..

D00d, we are *exactly* 300 users apart with our #32141x86 user number, and we post next to each other... What are the odds? Psych out!

Two questions I have as a taxpaying citizen who has to fund this:

... Yongcai Li, 33, a resident of China, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and ordered to pay $790,683 in restitution to Cisco Systems in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Li procured counterfeit Cisco products in China in response to orders and then shipped the products to the U.S., the DOJ said.

Shouldn't restitution be paid back to the manufacturing country within the country of origin? Why is the 9th Circuit doing this or whichever court when China should be prosecuting it? I personally cannot stand the government of China they are a commercial-corporate / agrarian / Communist mix which is repetitively detrimental to the fundamentals of a contemporary, capitalist government.

ICE and CBP have seized more than 94,000 counterfeit Cisco networking devices and labels in the operation, the DOJ said.

Is that Cisco IOS? I have never encountered a more inefficient, bloated piece of networking software after reading Cisco's IOS manual. Notice I said inefficient? True, there is little need for competition in this area since most people don't program for ethernet or administrate that layer, much less ethernet bridging over VPN. This could say something about the Cisco brand or "label" of merchandise. Perhaps that software/firmware is a bit too expensive and inclusive only to Cisco's own area of encumbrance ( this is an uncommon but practical legal term and definition ) when theft of Intellectual Property is happening, huh?

"Microsoft Bob" are the tendencies of a person or people, not an artifact alone! It isn't corporate personhood either -- something SCOTUS and bigwig entrepreneurial types haven't sufficiently addressed as of right now. Figure it out yet, fat figurers? And Microsh*t it remains with regard to: .Xls files plus screwing SQL, Cisco routing and, I.E. version whatever they got out now . . .

It isn't.

Multicore has been with us for over a decade now. It is practical and conducive to build open cores from class declaration up so methods, file types and handlers exist between architectures and at same time there's decoupling of needed resources as processes.

To point the way to what exists now there's Yellow Dog Linux for both Macintosh and Apple's PPC platform:

The older version works on MacOS 8/9. The new one works on Mac OS X.

Linmac or lintel would be most nice for us micro-engineers. The smaller businesses we want to associate with could branch away from both static software design and largescale deployment tied to that very design, focusing more on customizing digital end-pieces to attach to current semiconductor inputs if the correlated software to do that in places (like EAGLE for Ubuntu) is manufactured and delivered in an open core form of engagement.
