Except on the Nokia N900, works like a charm.

Where is this "Linux users don't pay for software" idea coming from? I buy software all the time, and I would love it if I could buy products like photo shop and games from steam on Linux. It would essentially keep me from ever having to buy another windows copy again. It's not that I don't like paying for software, I don't like paying for an operating system, nor do I enjoy using windows.

Unless you're a lazy programmer(s).

Not impressed. I normally generate enough load to finish before the next page even loads.

Imagine being on a date and getting "5 ways to impress her" ads.

Study up on information systems theory, business process analysis and the like. You're software is only as good as your understanding of the problem.

Younger developers may seem cheap because of the price tag, but this does nothing to address:

• the cost of maintaining a system built by a bright young person who lacks experience and knowledge
• the cost of maintaining a system built by someone who doesn't know when to clear their mind and think a little more about a problem
• the cost of maintaining a system built by someone who doesn't know when to incorporate already implemented software packages/api's/tools

I see your point, but your argument is not analogous: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/04/rising-c02-levels-alter-plant-growth-world-wide-ecological-impacts-significant.php

But no. Tech we don't own stock in making money is scary.

Why bury co2 so we can have sparkling spring water? c02 is a trace element, not a pollutant, the plants need to breathe too.

If we need power _today_ we need clean coal. Don't say it can't be done. www.ftek.com does it every day.

"Optimus can power on and pass control to the GPU in a matter of 300ms"

That's good. I'm tired of finishing before my video player can render the first frame.

Except for the fact that the n900 uses a resistive screen, as where the Droid uses a capacitave screen. Droid has way more apps available for it. Masses will chose Droid imo.

"Sometimes screwing up leads to success." the moral of the story here is: discover, don't invent.

That failure leads to success is hard coded into the Scientific method.

Part of success is being wrong, facing it, and adjusting your assumptions to fit the facts.

More likely the engineer didn't want the competition from such bright minds. Spin spin spin.
