Slashdot Mirror
Interview with Vita Nuova CEO Michael Jeffrey
Little-Fat-Sheep writes: "Lots of talk on Slashdot and elsewhere lately about the future of Operating Systems being massively distributed. Well, the technology exists for years now in the two operating systems offered by Vita Nuova: Plan9 and Inferno. OSNews features today an interview with Vita Nuova's CEO, Michael Jeffrey."
The Zenmaster told me:
Without mods,
there are no trolls.
Only posts.
Free marketing tip (the first one is always free): if you want to sell an operating system (or make it really wanted), please don't name it 'Inferno'. It doesn't bring really good mental images, now does it. Also, 'Plan9' sounds like a warm hatful of geek humor that's guaranteed to provoke negative reactions in more rigid corporate minds. Sure, these are unusual and interesting names, but there are plenty others that don't generate such bad vibes.
But hey, it's your company.

Slashdot is actually selling Karma now?
That's it, I give up. I'll be sticking to CNN.com from now on.
uhm.....this is interesting! These page widening posts actually REMOVE the large ads, just try browsing at 1 and then at -1. so which is worse, wide pages or ads?
:) wink wink.
On another note, maybe THIS will get them to fix the bug that allows the wide pages, i bet it does
that are such keeners, they can mod a post troll/flamebait/offtopic 0.14 seconds after it happens?
You guys are worse than first-posters.
Relax. It's ok if a post goes unmoderated for more than a few seconds. And don't worry, you don't have to use your mod points right away.
finally slashdot has got its head out of its ass and started putting in some quality advertising :) . . IMB >> oh yea.. dubbleclick.com . . even better ;) . .but come on lets get serious here, put the images on images.slashdot server, really who does not have ad.dubbleclick.net point to 127.0.0.1 now days, and its soo small, and only every third page load, What would be even better, would be a full page add, that you where forced to look at before you could continue loading the page, even better lets start charging for posting in articles in the main page, that oata be profitable, and while where at it why not moderate the forms a little closer, can't have the sponsor getting bad mouthed, better yet eliminate the forms altogether and start a TV channel call it slash-TV, and have people pay you to put their products on display between comercials, then we could really make some money:P oooohhh money oooh money . . profitiblity orgasmic.
