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...""

The fact that the open-source guys have very different ideas regarding the very basis of their movement is discouraging for anyone thinking of making a switch. Its FUD, but it comes from the open-source camp itself, and not Microsoft. If the o/s guys can't even agree on the direction of linux, why should I invest my time with it?
A propriety solution like Oracle, or Microsoft is very different in this regard. They present a single voice on the direction and purpose of their products. Sure, there is internal infighting but you never really head about that till after the fact. All that is presented to the end user is a single voice, a single vision. With linux, you have a dozen little kings each with their own agenda. Who does the user follow? It's very confusing.
A single king, even a less than optimal king, is more stable.
-linux... they can't *give* that shit away.
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

only 2 out f 52 posts in this thread are scored above 0. Haha why to mod em down cmdr cockhole.
slashdot is gay. I can't wait till VA Linux goes out of business.
He was 1/8 nigger.
Can someone tell me exactly what the fuck "African American Studies" is? I know some nigger bitch doing this african american studies shit went to africa hopeing to connect with her long lost "brothas and sistas" and connect with her "peoples" but instead the reality of africa kicked her stupid "african american" ass, the bitch got kidnapped, beat and raped by some savage nigs. Stupid ass bitch. But seriously is "African American" studies anything more than an affirmative action trick to gove dumb niggers something to study in college when all the other subjects are to hard?
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.
Have you ever seen an African win a F1 GP ?
German Blood and Italian Steel cannot lose!
mayhaps the "African-Americans" can repopulate Africa then?
German Blood and Italian Steel cannot lose!
Anyone know of a MP3/Video distribution under way? It would be very cool to have a Debian distro sitting in an old computer on my corner that was controled via remote control, etc. Just buy the big-ol hard drive and your up and going. I wouldn't mind spending 80-90 dollars on any special equipment to give me remote control or even a video output to my TV..
Anyway, just an idea...
then tell me... Africa is where mankind originates from... from there mankind emigrated to the rest of the world... which means the Africans had a headstart of 1000-10000's of years on the rest of the world... now look at Europe and then at Africa. Europe is one of the best places in the world to live... subsaharan africa is a hellhole... they ARE inferior... wether its by intelligence, culture, or whatever, they ARE inferior...
German Blood and Italian Steel cannot lose!
Seriously though, I have a black in the family tree. I'd better cut him down though. He's starting to get stinky.
We're talking about niggers here not fucking MP3 players.
Well that's good.
Then at least half of the racists are locked up.

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?
"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..."
I guess this really means: _You_ should work for free and give us good stuff we can sell so that _we_ can get rich.
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.
how old are you, boy?
...
are you proud of your uncle?
is he bragging about how he's beating up "some niggaz"?
you are impressed by some racist cop (i know enough of those)
ok. then imagine being one of those "niggaz"
nice?

I talked to the HP guy. What he said about the appliance was pretty worrysome, actually.
I asked specifically if the machine was hackable ala Tivo.
He said NO, but he'd like to see anyone try. Evidently, the hardware encrypts everything, and all the hardware serial numbers are tied together so that you can't replace any part of the hardware, including the hard drive without HP's permission.
It was a cool device, but, as I told him, I'm never buying one since I already built one of these (and it looks much the same...) and there's is not open.
I don't doubt that large chunks of the code will be available, but most of it is likely to be proprietary.

There are a few articles about Szulick's keynote:
C|Net, Wide Open News and InfoWorld.
I wonder who he has in mind for this "Open Source Education Corporation?"
