    A webcam shouldn't be a finalist in an embedded Linux contest! A webcam doesn't show the power of Linux. Most webcams I've seen don't use an operating system, but instead a simple microcontroller with USB support.

    Sorry, folks. Some idiot with a backhoe took out half the Sprint backbone again.

    A /. story that pertains to Linux is practically ignored?? Maybe all the sterotypes I've heard about /. are wrong. I guess I need to check the <A HREF="http://www.userfriendly.org">UF</A> archives again.

    Saw the ad, thought it would make a good subject since it fits so well in my message. Anway, WTF happened to this story? NOBODY said anything. Heck, I didn't even see it until now - even though I check /. many times a day! Anybody know (here it comes...) WTF happened?

    But the Question is whether they'll be actually able to build and run their projects. If they do so we'd have made many giant leaps forward.
