Mozilla Foundation Meets The GNOME Foundation
An anonymous reader writes "The board of directors of the GNOME foundation recently met with a few representatives of the Mozilla foundation - discussing how they could collaborate a little closer in future. A number of interesting things were discussed, including XAML/Avalon and the future of Firefox in GNOME/Linux. Check out the minutes of the meeting on the Gnome mailing list."
Does Tokyo get stomped?
If all this should have a reason, we would be the last to know.
Vision like this could only come the linux community.
I agree. No sooner have I downloaded and installed Mozilla browser that I have noticed by 17-year-old son looking at pornography and the images of filthy women on the Internet. Plus he started talking somce Communist manifesto stuff and once said he was going to install Lunix on our home machine.
I am not a violent man, but from good father's perspective I had to whip out my belt and show him that's the road to hell. That changed his perspective entirely, so right now he's quite happy using Internet Explorer 6 on Windows ME and paying for all the applications he uses except some cheap crap, that's so bad they have to give it away for other people to pick up.
I also own 100 shares of Microsoft stock in my portfolio, and so does my wife, so no Lunix talks are permitted in my house, since we are all planning for happy retirement.
Indeed, as parent poster, I must admit I had written this down as some thoughts for inclusion in my journal at some point. But when I saw the front page, I felt I could post this as a warning, where it might be more visible. Is this a crime?
I am surprised you say it is a karma whore. In fact, I expect I will take a karma HIT for saying what is a contentious point. It's something I feel strongly about, so I post whether you approve or not. But next time think more carefully before branding me as a "whore" please. The term Karma solicitation should be used anyway, as it doesn't have such woman-hating connotations. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And he even doesn't know about this awfull thing.
Does anyone else find it funny that A Dragon type creature, and that a gnome can end up being friends? This just keeps reminding me of shrek, and I hope that gnome never becomes an annoying jack-ass. I will leave that title for SCO.

Gnomzilla! Everyone run for their lives!
Ok, choice is nice and all, but this duplication of thinking and criticism is probably extremely unproductive as a whole for the progress of democracy. It should be enough with 2-3 choices for political parties instead of 20: one or two lightweight ones as the libertarians, and one or two "fully featured" like the democrats and the republicans.
oh wait...
Let's overcome our weakness.
I was going to mention that you were being a little rough on the parent, until I saw you were beating yourself up... Which I suppose is ok in my book, as long as you know what you're doing. :)
You know, the 1rst Foundation mets the 2nd Foundation, at last !
Where is Hari Seldon when we need him ? Wait, we've Eric Raymond. Damn, if only Google/Gaia eats them and convert all the people to a single colectivity entity knowed as Googalaxy ! All we'll be happy.
