14 Industrial Embedded Linux Case Studies
An anonymous reader writes "This article presents a collection of papers and presentations on the use of embedded Linux in the "real world" that was assembled by the Industrial Embedded Systems (INES) organization, a project to promote the adoption of Open Source software funded by the European Union. The papers show some of the exciting and esoteric applications that the industrial world finds for embedded Linum. From vibration health monitoring systems to crane scales to giant LED signs at sports stadiums, that little penguin (a.k.a. Tux) shows up in the darnedest places."
Aside from the problem I have with the word "Linum", do these papers show any of the less-than-successful open source deployments/projects?
Call my cynical, but I'm going to take any report about the success of OSS from an organization whose goal is to "promote the adoption of Open Source software" with a grain of objectivity salt.
There's a Mercedes gap too. I want one and can't afford one, but it's not government's job to do anything about it.
Oh come on... I don't see a problem?
Your already spending upwards of 100 dollars to watch a bunch of overpaid cry babies who have a poor appriecation of the term "team".
You might as well get a bunch of blaring, sex and violence filled advertisements as well!
The idea is to simulate the home viewing experience as much as possible.
Seriously, you wouldn't want to watch a video of the Coor's light girls mud wrestling in a box by the quarterbacks feet!
How about when a reciever is running for a touch down, you could have tag lines chasing him down the field! Or better, the MSN butterfly could randomly run across the field!!!
They could do tactical analysis on field using Madden 2XXX!!!
Every Shadow could be filled with Pepsi and Coke ads!!!
I seriously think your missing out on a great opportunity!!!!
Yes Francis, the world has gone crazy.
