Progeny Debian Halts The NOW Project

nicedream writes "Debian Planet is reporting that Progeny is killing the NOW project. " A reader also submitted the actual e-mail from Ian Murdock ? . It appears that the current economic climate has had an adverse effect on Progeny - which is not surprising. Ian's also got some musings on the state of computing/networking, which outline some of the thoughts behind the NOW project.

    who are dumb enough to plead not guilty


    What? You mean pleading not guilty and getting convicted means harsher penalties than what you get if you just nicely plead guilty even though you didn't do anything?


    What a wonderful system you've got over there. Capital punishment and this. Makes me glad I live in Europe (where it's about time to go out and have a beer, by the way).
