  3. Six Apart is desperate for talent. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on LiveJournal Buyout Rumor

    Worst comment I've read about the whole thing...

    Holy crap, folks, this is as big as it gets. This is Cingular buys AT&T. This is huge.

    Ahem. Anyway, truth is Six Apart just needs to make some money. Livejournal makes money. End of story. Hopefully LJ backs out and Six Apart can go ahead and die at the hands of the VC snakes. Whoever decided to pump millions into that company is going to get what they deserve.

  10. Re:How many apples is that? by tychay · · Score: 1 · on IBM's Blue Gene powered by Linux

    This, like the parent post, is off-topic.

    It's all useless though, it relies on an operating system with proprietary components, so the failure of one company can render the whole thing useless.

    Terascale relies on the Darwin Kernel which is open-source, there is no evidence that any single component relies on the proprietary parts of the Mac OS X. The head of Terascale, who wrote the code that enables it, approached the Mac "reading the kernel manual first."

    Like I said before, if you read between the lines, Terascale has nothing to do with Macs. It just happened that Apple was the only company that could deliver computers powerful enough for a cheap enough price in the window that Virginia Tech needed to make the Top500. That had nothing to do with Macs, or Apple, or Mac OS X--it had everything to do with price/performance (of the 970), opportunity (Infiniband, gap in the Fall Top500), and availability (of the G5). Let's not drag this down to a OS wars or platform wars. We are witnessing a sea change. Yes, there will still be Blue Gene/L and it's ilk (there are still Crays out there), but expect the Top500 list to be overrun with commodity desktop computer CPUs in the coming years.

    To me, this represents a triumph of open source. Now lets pray that the patents applications don't prevent "the rest of us" from benefiting from it.
