craig c. wrote so then your definition of a closed system has now been modified to a set of hardware or software that has an owner and therefore legal rights to the hardware/software modified thats exactly what a closed platform is. a company owns the rights to the hardware. anyone who wishes to develop pays apple for that right. there are no apple clones because its not an open platform. so red hat linux is closed then right based on an open system but has elements/applications that are closed. say what a better analogy would be a 100% clone of of sco unix thats legally available. it doesnt exist. why pardon me but i *completely* disagree that your open systems are superior as you state. they are prone to hacks and mods by would-be programmers. youd be hard pressed to convince any rational human that a miles open system is superior to anything greater than a tricycle. more prone to hacks and mods is that good or bad version control alone on your open system would sink a company. never said they didnt deserve it. but its a technology that isnt taking off very fast. its a technology that isnt taking off at all. thats why apple has begun to abandon it. im puzzled as to why you find the topic of firewire worthy of debating. its just another technology that didnt take off. there are thousands of examples that fit your definition of both open and closed systems that never took off. craig c. .

bigironram wrote i have a 1990 dakota se 4 cyl 2.5l 5 sp od and the wipers just quit. it pumps washer fluid and the wiper motor sounds like its running but no wiper action. has the motor seized up somehow or is there something loose between motor and wipers thanks for any helpful input! karl theres a plastic bushing that attaches the motor to the linkage its worn out. new ones are less than ten bucks at the dealer. for me the bushings seem to have a 1015 year life span. if yours is original youve done well. thank you kind sir for your response! it sounds like you may have nailed it since motor is humming and all. hope i dont sound like an absolute dummy here but ive never dealt with such a problem before so ill just ask how do i locate the offending plastic bushing behind firewall somewhere under wiper arm or... karl just pull the motor no need to disconnect the wiring youll find its not connected to the linkage. if you look through the cowl you should see the linkage just laying there. . .

tbone wrote i believe that i already said this although i called it flexability. however those same multiple sources almost always lead to partial incomaptabilities that slow things down. even in your other posts in this thread you make the claim that some system boards are better than other and some video cards just suck. these are the reasons that closed system are almost always faster because the developers of these systems have complete control over everything and can make rapid changes if required which is not possible with any open system. sorry tom but closed system manufactures do not move as rapid in development as open system manufactures. there is little benefit to the consumer. that is simply not true. mot as long as there is competition. the mac has beaten the pc in performance since the day it was introduced and still does. the only reason it has not taken over is due to the price and lack of software but it is now gaining market share. lets say when pcs first came out ibm bought exclusive rights to ms-dos and locked it into a closed system. what are you talking about hmm...you dont know much about how pcs started in the mainstream consumer market do you i was im the field when they started. ibm created the first pc with which our current pcs are based. nope. care to try again microsoft offered ibm exclusive rights to ms-dos. wrong again. ibm wanted exclusive rights and bill said no way. ibm turned them down thinking people would not buy anything other than a true ibm pc nor did they buy exclusive rights to the microcode the intel chips used in their pcs. the result was an open platform. wrong again. ibm decided on an open platform to allow other manufacturers to build peripheral components and compatible software to cut costs. anyone could produce an ibm pc clone. it was the clones that beat out the ibm. after a while but the ibm was a superior machine both in speed and construction. they offered features and speed that rivaled the ibm. lol that depends on the model. ibm had this nasty habit of limiting the abilities of the lower models so that they would not take sales away from the higher priced ones and that came to bite them in the ass but their top of the line models were just as fast as anyone elses and much better built. sure they had some problems such as the origional at systems but they still kicked the crap out of everyone else. some clones sold for a higher price than the true blue ibm. really lets have some names and dates. no way would we see computer hardware improve in speed and functionality had ibm been the only ones to produce the pc with exclusive rights to the os and cpus. that is complete crap. improvements lead to repeat sales which equates to more money. you say that you know a lot about business but are proving very different. pretty much exactly where it is today. the ibm pc version is where it is because of the huge amount of software written for it and that happened because in the beginning ibm had the reputation of making business machines and the money to mass produce them at an affordable cost and got the jump on apple. bull! ibm decided they were ibm and didnt need to worry about small companies cloning their pc. what does this have to do with the above comment about software oh thats right not a damn thing and even here you are wrong. they were wrong and 3rd party hardware development took off fast. it never would have had ibm paid for exclusive rights. they designed it with an open architecture in mind. as for the os they never had the opportunity to get exclusive rights. they did have exclusive rights with os2 but by then it was to late and they didnt invest the money to make it #1. as you like to say business exists for the sole purpose of making money and where do you think that they are going to put their resources at a superior system with 10000 units and available sales or at a slower system with 500000 units on the market. apple led the market when the ibm pc came out. lol apple led the market with home pcs but didnt do shit for business. ibm itself didnt sell worth a damn and they were forced out of the market. hahahaha you really do make me laugh. they didnt do well in the home market but took off in the business world. that is what lead to the pc becomming the leader because that is wjere the money is. it was the clones that took off in sales because of advancements in hardware that rivaled ibm. they could not have done that had ibm produced a closed system. more complete crap. i think that you just like to argue even when you more than prove that you dont know what you are talking about. ibms success in the business world created a market for the clone manufacturers and the software developers. had apple took the risk and pushed the mac into the business world
