This is a confusion about what "native application" means - Linux apps vs native code. It does support Native Client - http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/
Hate to rain on your parade, but just about all US houses have 220/240V as 2-phase, 180 degree opposed - they use it to run the range (cooker!) and dryer.
"then it would have been used against all the servers that support the world's webpages. Wikipedia's Ubuntu servers, for example, or getting deeper, something like Amazon"
So great. They've released some fancy new version with blah, blah and blah, none of which most people are terribly interested in.
Meanwhile, the thing is still a slow, bloated pig. Do we have to make efficiency some sort of feature, or provide fake goals and a shiny racetrack before people address the fundamentals?
Makes me sick to see open source apps follow the same fated trails as other bloatware
It's not all wireless. It's only those a few cards that have NDIS drivers for some foul kludge to load Windows drivers into a Linux box. Most of them will work absolutely fine out of the box.
Intel graphics chips, whilst commendable, are not available as an add-in card for any existing system. Else, yes, I'd buy one.
There is no solution for 3D with dual-DVI.
"Why Linux users continue to buy products that don't work with free software is beyond me."... ummm... some of us keep our systems for a couple of years. That's longer than the intel product has been available. And... AMD systems?
So the article is basically "How to install a bunch of shit that wasn't installed by default for good reasons". Not a good idea.
Binary drivers that are completely unsupportable. A package manager that conflict with the default one. 3D whiz-bang eye candy that's unstable, and requires yet more binary drivers to get 3D.
There's zero content in the article describing how this is going to work (or not work, more likely)
I'd pray that it doesn't use the same pile of dog crap that Lotus notes used, or anything else Java based. Every other product that IBM came up with in this realm was unusable - horrible UI, massive overheads, and disgustingly slow.
Likely this will be the same all over again - their application software engineering group is stunted in the brain.
All of you who are excited about this for some reason, let me reassure you that the beta testers I talked to who'd seen this were *screaming* in pain.
Just when you thought Notes couldn't *possibly* be any slower, buggier or more bloated, they did this to it. It's horrendous. Fortunately I've left IBM and won't have to deal with their crap any more, but I weep for the friends I left there.
I don't know what the hell that team is on, but they seem to be totally out of touch with reality, other human beings, and any semblence of an interface design team.
Are you on fucking CRACK? Have you EVER actually run the product? It's the buggiest, most bloated, badly designed piece of shit I've ever had the misfortune to see.

Amazon has the DVDs for sale sometimes, but they are region 2, so you'll need to use a multi-region player or rip them.

Let me guess ... the submitter works in tech, not in banking?
Why is it OK for tech companies to be run by psychopaths, but not banking?
Presumably because glasses will turn with your head / field of vision, whereas a tie will not.
I guess a hat would work too.
Getting rid of caps lock - awesome.
Replacing it with a search key - asinine.
You're just going to clip it accidentally and pop up some irritating search window.
Put ctrl back where it belongs - if you want a search key, put it somewhere out the way.
Because they're VMware and they don't have anything more useful to do?
I believe it's currently syslinux
Whilst I love grub for my desktop, it's not the best choice for an embedded type system where we want minimal code and maximum speed.
I'm looking to see if we can replace with lilo, and not have filesystem code in the bootloader
What on earth makes you think that an OS running a multiprocess browser has no scheduler?

I'd suggest you start by comparing what's wrong with Linux and the benefit of fixing that vs the cost of developing a new kernel.
Also bearing in mind the cost and implications of making all hardware vendors produce drivers for all new hardware.
It's not really practical.
We're using ext3 because that's what the bootloader supports right now. The plan is to move to ext4.

You have an SSH account on Wikipedia? Amazon?
Surely a sledghammer, whilst local, is not a privilege escalation?
Which part of "local" are you not understanding?

Perhaps they prefer people who know how to break their stream of thought into sentences less than 100 words long?
Google Repository for Open Projects Evironment
Yeah, because they'll never modify it again after releasing it ...
Repeat after me "Sourceforge is a stinking piece of shit".
You can't even easily link to a download.

Yes. http://bugzilla.kernel.org
