LinuxWorld Reports Continue
Sharon Machlis writes: "The Linux operating system celebrated its 10th birthday this month, but as that milestone was lauded here this week at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, founder Linus Torvalds and other open-source gurus offered very different ideas of what will come next. In a lively panel discussion, Torvalds gathered with fellow Linux leaders before a packed house to debate the present state of the open-source movement . . . "
An Anonymous Coward writes: "Here's Rick Lehrbaum's "traditional" wrap-up of the embedded side of LinuxWorld from this week's show in San Francisco. He says the turnout overall was disappointing, but the showing for embedded was quite strong. Lots of good detail on what was there, plus some pictures too. Sounds like PDA & set-top boxes are the next big conquest for Linux. Worth a read!"

pnelson talks about Red hat CEO Matthew Szulik's keynote address at Linux World in SF. Szulik said "I'm here today to challenge the open source community. To ask you to join together to promote open source in our schools, and to protect open source in our government." Szulik highlighted the K12 Linux Terminal Server Project and ended with, "as we work as a community, we can fight as a community. And through the grassroots power of the Internet, together we can advance the cause...""

You know it is.
Luciano Burti may be dead or dying and you're posting crap like this!
Here's a list of celebrated African-American scientists.
They have some small stinky apes too. But aren't spider monkeys from South America? Or are they from Africa? I donut know, but I do know that spinider monkeys are real neat. They live here now, too. I saw one at the zoo when I was little, but it never threw shit at me. I bet you would. cause you are kind of worthless. I think you should stay away from the other crazy folk in these parts, you are different than they are. More evil and psychotic and gay.
Otis Boykin
Boykin invented the 'Electrical Resistor' used in computers, radios, television sets and a variety of electronic devices.
George Carruthers
Carruthers was the inventor of the far-ultraviolet camera and the spectrograph.
Mark Dean
Dean co-invented improvements in computer architecture that allowed IBM compatible PCs to use the same peripheral devices.
Dr. Charles Richard Drew
Drew was the first person to develop the blood bank.
Philip Emeagwali
In 1989, Emeagwali won the Gordon Bell Prize, considered the equivalent of the Nobel Prize, for developing the fastest supercomputer software in the world.

You're Just Jealous Because The Voices Are Talking To Me.
Somehting to do with peanuts!!!! Like peanut oil or something. They invented baby jesus too, then they oiled him up with peanut oil. Then they invented pedophelia.
Yeah! What do I win?
Last Post!
What has it done to you? Did you lose your job because of the OS or did it disappoint you somehow?
you're simply a narrow minded racist
yeah. free speech - for me, too. but honestly:
in my opinion thinking like that is just sad.
where are you from?
do you have a clue what you're talking about?
i'm from austria and i can see what racism did (and still does) to our country.
you want a fucked up society?
well, then you'll have to live in it, too
and not just try to spread your thoughts...
and ppl like you won't be the "herrenmenschen" (master race) anymore
that's one thing i'm certain of.
...just my two cents

Whoever modded this down is a complete moron. Moderators, please do not moderate something down if it does not conform to SlashThink. This is a very valid point.
What an idiot.
Of all the trolling going on this story they mod that down? wtf?
Seriously you know Slashdot is lame when they mod down a valid but pro-closed source post instead of a pile of racist dribble.
On slashdot admitting Oracle may be more focused than an open source project is worse than being racist.
heh.
He was 1/8 nigger.
Sieg Heil! Viva il Duce!
... where I took Victimology 101 and Seperatism 101. We learned that black have no achievments because White America takes all the credit.
There was one colored man who made a cotton picker or peanut oil something-or-other but he only did that cause he was a slave and wanted to get his work done faster.
It means that the group studies itself without any distorting outside influence. Just as the studies of the culture of women are often distorted by male prejudices, studies of the African American culture cannot be done properly by the white people.
When I raced against Nigerians and Peruvians, I lost. I have also watched a number of Gold Medals handed out to Africans. Inferior? no
A white man with 100% pure aryan blood will never lose to a member of an inferior race.
How strange. I have never though of Europe as a whole, as being the best place to live. While some spots are nice, Europe as a whole lives a lot to be desired.
Actually, Africa, South America, and Alaska strike me as being the more interesting places to live right now. People are friendly, the places have not been overdeveloped. Problems, like pollution, crime, and apparently inbreeding , is not of the same magnitude that Europe and Central USA have today.
I suppose that you have won a Gold or perhaps a Nobel Prize? hum... We all know better. All we have to do is read what YOU write
Last time, I looked, these same things go on in Europe and America. BTW, Been to all places. Loved Brazil and Panama (yeah, central america) the most.
OOOH big tough words from an AC.
Best. Comment. Ever. Enjoy!
6 months in brazil, 3 months in panama. Loved both places.
So why didn't you stay then? huh?
Job was done, and the money is much better in the states
See you couldn't hang.
Reading all of these made me revisit what I think would be a good microsoft remedy? How about:
1. No use of patents against open source software
2. Open specifications for their protocols.
3. Maintain a fully-operable port of Office to
Linux not more than 2 years behind their
windows offering.
One and two are from RMS's proposed remedies... but seeing that office compatibility is so important; perhaps 3 should be added to the list?
(S)he's no more anonymous than you are. So post your name/address and telephone number, or shut the fuck up you whiney bitch.
I just heard some sad news on TV, apparently Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community.
are there any nubile young 13 year old girls around here that i can rape? i especially like ones that squeal when you stuff your dick in there mouth. someone loan me there daughter for a night or two? i promise i'll give her back in almost new condition (if a bit sticky)! thank you.

I second that!
