This is a troll. Sony knows about the GPL.

No version of Linux can be sold without source availability. Sony are very savvy about Linux and they know about the community and the GPL.

Consoles are very standardised. This means you slap in a CD and *it just works*. They all behave the same too, no performance surprises. Now imagine a postscript RIP and print server that *just works* with cheap USB printers. Imagine a fileserver that *just works*, doing RAID on firewire disks. imagine all these one-function CDs that can be made !
The Linux PS2 is not a great computer, but you can be sure you will have *zilch* install problems. I took 3 days of typing strange hex numbers to install my latest server with redhat (ultra 66 problems). And another 2 hours to get X up. I would gladly hav bought a PS2 in it place, just for the time savings.

this is 50 year old tachistoscopic research. Woeld champions are also much better than GMs . tests done by de groot on Euwe and, i think botvinnik...
Sounds like ICANN is going the way of the UN. Ineffective, unresponsive and factionalised. And likewise losing what little claim to moral authority it still has:(

Dear Gill,
Thank you very much for providing us with this
excellent compilation of issues significant to
the retail and hospitaliity industries.
We believe many of these issues are well founded
and will adress them in our next releases.
Thank you for making your market research available for free
I tried a hi-end wacom penpad with Sensiva. No fun at all. It failed to recognise many gestures and obviously expects people to push a mouse all over the available screen surface, rather than just make an elegant little gesture.
Pointer: These gesture interfaces can be seen at work in the films of the Xerox work back in the 70s. In fact PARC invented not only the mouse, but also the penpad, I believe. The latest instantiation of Smalltalk, Squeak has a learning gesture recogniser buried in it somewhere, according to an Alan Kay interview I saw somewhere.
And, as Philippe once asked, what will we do when the Xerox ideas run out ?
You think the lawyers are not clueful ? Folks, if a Troll is one who makes inflammatory remarks to provoke comment, then the author of this submission was a MasterTroll.
The major damage potential is ricochet attacks via WinXX:
Typical ADSL user has WinXX, and mebbe
some firewall, connected to modem via
xed cable...
Step 1. WinXX machine gets gets script-kiddied (not very hard to imagine)
Step 2. modem gets hacked from the Win host, firmware overwritten, in such a way only the cracker can rewrite it.
Step 3. zillions of DOS attacks.
Step 4. the telcos go shopping for a few million new modems. Alcatel places winning bid:)
Step 5 Go to Step 1 above
Amiga's OS was a very nice Cambridge Computer Lab creation called tripos - programmed in BCPL if I remember rightly, ran on lotsa machines on the original Cambridge Ring, ignored the rest of the world and was ignored back by the rest of the world, including Acorn who were into reinventing the Apple II at the time.
To me, stability means invisible fixes rather than user interface revamps. No two redhat installs look alike, and yet the bugs get carried over from release to release:(
RedHat is a commercial venture stuck with the interesting problem of squeezing money out of a product they can never own and which anyone can cherry pick the features out of. Apart from selling service or hardware, their obvious counter move is to evolve their beast and add features so fast that no one else can quite claim the same degree of sophistication, and no one can quite figure out the art of making modified copies. This means lotsa bloat, lots of new bugs, instability, and generally the very opposite of a nice, stable and mature operating system. Even M$ doesn't try to rev their users as fast as RH (5.0, 5.1, 5.2 6.0, 6.1, 6.2) and all the utilities and admin tools get revved too, as does the user interface out of the box. Ouch. Hence I consider RH to be an opponent of stability, for reasons of corporate survival. I want a stable OS. I therefore consider RH harmful! BTW, I find the most interesting posts on/. are often the ones that have been modded down. Therefore, many moderators are IMHO morons. Go ahead and mark this down as troll and off-topic, my dear friends.
I use a Nokia 9110 Communicator, with IR to a Powerbook when necessary. The nice thing is it lets you do mail, telnet and web as standalone, also ftp. Batteries last forever, it has a keyboard, and you only need a single isp access point as you can always make an international data call. The service that comes with my phone does instant connect (no modem wait). The downside is the phone bills:( And, frankly, I find the most interesting posts on/. are often the ones which have been moderated down, which cause me to say the moderators are morons .

Are services up during an install ? Maybe one should ALWAYS have a firewall for the initial install and patch period.

The Mac arena is one place where BSD is making a definite win over Linux, with Mac OS X promising to add a couple of million BSD sites this year.
Stallman says add to this code and you are one of us.
Gates says use this code and you belong to us.
