Servers with a Smile

9jack9 writes "Fortune Magazine has this article entitled Servers with a Smile. While they probably get almost as much wrong as they get right, it's still an interesting article, if for no other reason than it's in Fortune, with a readership undoubtedly consisting of people more focused on business than technology. To me the strange thing is that in portions of the computing world Linux and related phenomena (GNU/Linux, OSS, etc) does seem to be "the hottest thing", but in other parts of the computing world it is all but invisible. It reminds me of NT in the early days. There is also a related article Does Software Yearn to be Free?."

    That obnoxious FAQ written by RMS even admits that the FSF has no legal or ethical reason to demand that "Linux" be called "GNU/Linux".

    I couldn't make sense of the damn article, until I re-read the headline - "Servers with a smile" - not Sewers with a smile - phew!

  12. Is your email address on this list? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If it is, I have news for you.

    You probably tried to hide your email from spam robots by doing things like myemail@NOSPAM.myhost.com, or a nifty trick like spelling it backwards or offering little puzzles to complete the valid address by filling in gaps.

    I'm not a robot. To spite you, I've signed you up for every spam list I could find. Enjoy!

  13. Sad news ... Stephen Hawking dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - mathematian/cosmologist Stephen Hawking was found dead in his Cambridge home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular rap culture. Truly an British Superstar.
