No!

I don't expect Microsoft Office and Adobe to deliver anything usable on non X86 chips.

I hava a laptop for Adobe Lightroom and Microsoft Office and an iPad for mail, calendar, contacts, notes and the occasional game.

not really a vulnerability

more like a trojan, the file is downloaded and finder unzips it, then it asks if it shall be installed.

First question, did I download it myself? No!

Second question, should I answer yes? NO!

Easy to avoid, isn't it? Windows, Linux or OS X, some common sense should be applied.

Best notebook in this pricerange.

I need something more sturdy than the typical 500 Euro box from whoever. HP Elitebook, the higher end Sony Vaios, Dell Latitude etc.pp.

In late 2009 the Macbook Pro was the best value for money with the features I wanted.

Luckily!

"The orbit of the ISS was chosen for political reasons, to keep the Russians happy."

Else we'd have to abandon it pretty soon now.

Yes, I know

and in one of the reactors they use MOX elements. But since the reactor is not breached and no meltdown happened ....

Depends

That would be BSD license, but only as long as you don't like to rip out others copyright notices :)

I ran a whole bunch of software on HP-3000 and 9000 systems in the 90s which I had in source, one application is still running on a SCO OpenServer V 5.0.4 virtual machine at this moment.

Porting from MPE to HP-UX and to SCO or even Linux or BSD was part of the contract, as was adapting the software to our needs.

That's open source, at least to the customer.

It's not Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) like GNU or BSD et.al.

Google takes one 32%

which Motorola can't factor in.

So yes, Apple sucks!

No 30% cut from free apps?

yes, he must be scared!

And it doesn't even run PL/1

so what's it good for?

totally different Kernels!

Win95/98/ME are somewhat based on DOS but more integrated than MS-DOS/Windows 3

Win2k is NT4 with USB and Win98 GUI.

Paper books have a some benefits

a) you can lend them to someone

b) work without batteries even in direct sunlight

c) even cheap paperbacks have a couple decades storage lifetime in plain bookshelfs

d) easy access without the need to keep ancient storage devices and software

It's more about how data is sampled from the sensor.

on a full frame sensor every pixel is active and it needs a shutter.

Of cause it's totally unrelated to the DSLR photographers choice to call 135 full frame and everything else not :)

It's a nice to have

My Asus 901 was too small for many things and I still needed a real notebook.

Gave the netbook to my nephew and use a tablet where a phone is too small and a notebook not needed.

E-Mail, contacts and calendar mostly with some games and an occasional video thrown in for good measure.

It even works fine with the files from my DSLR, one with a big sensor and huge files btw.

Does Win7 come with a JRE by default?

You have to have something to run the jar file.
