Friedman on Linux Desktop Expectations
An anonymous reader writes "SearchEnterpriseLinux.com is featuring an interview with Novell/Ximian's Nat Friedman on the increasing interest about the Linux desktop. Quote from the interview - "A day doesn't go by when I don't talk to a Fortune 1000 customer from the financial services market, automotives or others that are not looking at dipping their feet into the Linux desktop."
And by the way, both Nat Friedman and Miguel de Icaza's April 12th blog entry have a picture of Miguel and Nat dancing with David Vaskevitch, CTO of Microsoft. Now that's something you don't get to see everyday!"
In response to your sig; [great conversation piece BTW]
You are absolutely correct. I guess they only give mod points to Zionist Bushites. Every single time I post a religious comment on slashdot, it is modded as a troll/flamebait - and here's why~
God is your own personal thing and no policy should ever be based on the word of God. I find it particularly ironic that Islamic fundamentalists are being fought with an Army (of which I am a veteran) led by a Christian fundamentalist with a Zionist leaning. If we keep it up, "God" will kill us all.
Face it. Instead of what would Jesus do, ask "What the fuck has Jesus done?" besides become a martyr. Hmmm, aren't we killing those pesky martyrs now? I guess the Jews HAVE been doing it for years. First Jesus, now the Palestinians. Of course it is OK to kill the unwashed who get in the way of their Zionist agenda. Then we got those perfect Christians gassing Jews by the millions. You'd figure if God was anywhere near any of this, he would see all of these idiots blowing themselves up, building walls, assassinating cripples and decide this faith bullshit is just that bullshit. Think about it, if God just showed up one afternoon, made a 30 second speech, this shit would be all over. There would be no more religious wars or the like, we would all be one unified faith living in peace. Well, since that hasn't happened, I guess we'll have to all renounce religion and become peaceful without it ~ makes more sense anyway.
Flame on bitches, I say fuck you and your sheepish mentality. A wise governor of Minnesota once made the insightful remark: Religion is a crutch for the weak. You, mister "Let's argue through mod points", are the weak.
ymmv
When I was an undergraduate, I presented at an image processing/image understanding conference at the U. of Texas in Austin. Someone presented a paper the idea of using mountains or buildings to determine position. There was a demo program done on an SGI, where a long distance rover could recognize its position from Martian topography.
