Does Open Source really increase concurrency and lower prices?

Linux haven't stopped Microsoft from being lazy and selling ancient WinXP during 00ies. And Windows 7 haven't produced any significant advantage, like Microsoft's other projects, like Singularity, promised. Software still being written using C/C++ and segfaults on you.

Other example are gaming consoles: XBox360 costs less than PS3, despite PS3 using more open source components.

This leads us to conclusion that Open Source movement doesn't push technology forwards.

Open source and technology pushing are not necessarily correlated inversely or directly.

The original idea was that making software open source would lower barrier of entry and force developers to innovate.

There are many ideas. There is no single motivation for using or developing open source software.

I don't think you have much choice in this matter. Unless you wirewrap your own computer out of 7400 chips, or find someone who has access to a photolithography machine and suck eir dick/clit.

The bare board is 550$ and the actual laptop is 2200$. Why?

Name: Anonymous 2014-07-15 5:19

The cost of open source.

More like the cost of small scale manufacturing.

Then why are the BeagleBoner/Cubieboard around ten times cheaper then?

It doesn't come in a fancy box.

Oh wait, maybe it's the LVDS converter (50$) as well as the LCD panel (50$) and battery controller (10$) and the extra memory (40$) and the fancy metal case (50$). Wait, that still doesn't add up.

There's a bunch of random Allwinner tablets (same SoC as Cubieboard) on Aliexpress; I think it's just a matter of convincing one of companies that make them to open source their bootloader and/or embedded controller and market it as "librebook" or some shit like that.

Exclusive product tax. $2200 is a low price for becoming a truly edgy nonconformist hipster.

I'm not a U.S. citizen, otherwise I wouldn't have needed cheap x86 in the first place. When you job pays you more than $1000, you don't basically care about saving like $10 on a CPU.

Try getting a green-card. If they pay you $900 in your shithole, you will be earning like $2000 in America.

But I heard getting a job in america sucks, you have to get a phd if you want anything better than dishwashing and even if you are a dishwasher they will prefer someone with "experience", also there's no healthcare and way too many niggers. And since I'm not black the liberals will not pity me and give me benefits. If only I could find myself an american sugar momma, preferably one who's not fat, then she could sustain my existence in america

Moreover, if you are bright and got a sound idea, America gives you opportunity to start your own business, while in other countries you are pretty much screwed to be toilet scrubber all the way down.

Be careful not to fall sick though, otherwise you'll quickly achieve bankruptcy and die because AMERICA FUCK YEAH.

Cudder, could you please confirm whether any x86 instructions are still covered by Intel patents?

1. It is a lot easier to fake education in America, than say in Russia, due to American liberal past, state system, private colleges and absence of government book-keeping. Moreover, faking PhD is not a crime in America, as it is in Russia.
2. Most American employers don't care about PhD, unless it is from MIT or some other over-hyped institution.
3. America gives you more opportunities for freelance and sub-contractor employments.
4. You will have to fake PhD anyway to get a green-card, while Department of State does background checks, it is not that robust and can be tricked.

These are definitely subject to extensive background checks. And you wont be able to get a lawyer job anyway, unless you have a lot of networking from university.

I think the most cost-effective measure to get fully auditable hardware would be to make a kickstarter for hiring a hitman to break into the Intel or AMD or Allwinner offices, retrieve the CPU's full sources (including the tools and internal documentation), and publish them all online for everyone to see and audit.
