Two years ago the horizon looked good with projects like Audiotechque and Koobase. Today the horizon looks good with projects like Glame and Ecasound. Who knows why the horizon is going to look good two years from now. We always know the horizon looks good even if nothing materializes.
Unless the purpose is to study clustering methods it's usually cheaper to get a faster computer.
Regardless of "big business" the reality is 8 years of environmentally obsessed democrats have depleted the natural gas supply to a point where there isn't enough to run the generators. Then of course, there's the "2 power plants taken off line for repairs" line handed to the politicians to lobby for rate hikes but the same problem is occurring in many other states right now who have fully functional power plants. They just don't have the fuel to run them.
The Email service was sold to IName in 1998. Now IName of course is running out of cash. First they spammed their users. Then they started the popup windows. Then they had auto-raising windows. Why is it that mainstream websites seem foretold by what the warez sites did years ago?
This just shows how people are finally deciding where the PC does and does not fit in their lives. Email and book keeping were the only two things readily accepted on the PC. With all the PC had going for it as a universal DVD, CD, and mp3 player, we're finally seeing the level of difficulty of configuration knocking it out of the game. Difficulty of configuration has become the deciding factor between where PC's fit into your life and what you're supposed to do on an appliance.

Linux to Fragment?

Each with incompatible API's and behaviors. The problem is how fragmentation is defined.
Some of you may remember the good old days of big endian machines. The standard low-byte high-byte order we know now was invented by Intel, despite the fact that base 10 numbers were still printed with the most significant digits on the left by Intel's C library.
The Japanese obviously put a lot of effort into encasing the machinery. Every time MIT shows off a robot it's a bunch of wires and cameras dangling everywhere.
In 1993 EE's were getting layed off by the millions and medicine was viewed as the only practical future for anyone. By 1997 this resulted in fewer EE's and more physical therapy and athletic degrees. Today the story should be exactly opposite.
Before the 1999 hoopla a person with my education would normally drive garbage trucks. Thanks to the brief upswing companies were willing to take chances like they never did before. Unfortunately with no stock options to live off of, breaking even has become a matter of borrowing money every month, so guess you can't defeat the education barrier.
All the education tax credits we have now came in the last 4 years. 99% of open source software is made possible by those education loans and tax credits.
I get 75% of expenses paid for by salary and 25% from loans. What you may not realize is it doesn't matter how large the salary is as much as how large in comparison to everyone else's salary it is.
You always wonder whether there are any more things to be done besides optimizing the frame renderer, when the programmer spends all day trying to get from 192fps to 193fps.
Blade became popular because it was the first program to be banned by Fraunhoffer. In fact, blade is really a copy of the ISO reference code, optimized for speed. Lame incorporated massive quality improvements, but came too late to catch the wave of publicity offered to Blade. It would be nice to have access to the code which generated these sonograms.
It may not teach you common Lisp or demonstrate the latest trends in portable interface design but it edits text faster than anything else. The block selection features cut down formatting time.
The C commenting macros reduce #ifdef clutter, allowing you to try different designs quickly. Any time there's a text box in Netscape I write it out in Nedit and paste it in Netscape.
If I was a webzine whose stock price was $1 I would publish an article stating SDMI was cracked. No doubt about it. Then I would start inverviewing presidential candidates like a bat out of hell. Funnily enough salon.com seems to fit the picture perfectly.
Shouldn't Larry Wall be the one to work on Perl full time? (He works for a book publisher) What about Tom Christiansen? There are lots of people in the same situation as Damian Conway. There are many Perl geniouses, who would all like to code full time, who would all like to travel abroad for conferences, training, and speaking engagements. Surely everyone has a best friend who would give his left testacle to work on Perl full time. This is beginning to sound like the Mercury 7: Who will be the first one to write software full time?
Forget about Monica Lewinsky. I want to see Mitnick on Larry King. He must be pulling in a $million every week on interviews and analysis of current trends. Here we have a guy whose been given a window of opportunity and used it to become the most popular technology figurehead since John Carmack.
How about not charging $80 and up for a phone and not charging 3 times what home phone service costs. Wireless communication has tripled in cost over the last year while overall inflation was more like 15%.
When I was a teenager the big political agenda was redeeming child illiteracy which seemed to be running rampant because of education cutbacks. Now, with 99% of the information on the internet being text based, it's like illiteracy was never an issue. We've revived reading and writing by presenting text in an interactive format.
One Linux system company has had such an abysmal time selling workstations that they've quietly canned several open source projects that they were previously funding. Can't say the name but let's put it this way: when was the last time you saw an Enlightenment release?
The commercial software industry may seem cutthroat compared to the open source industry but notice the average age of commercial computer scientists compared to the age of open source CS people. Let's simplify it even more. Know any succesful politicians under 30?

It's pretty obvious that Python is the Next Big Thing. Anyone wanting to work in CS in the future is studying Python now.

My Celerons won't overclock to 1Ghz! My car won't burn diesel! It's all a conspiracy!
"Is it my imagination or does this seem strange"
"for a company that seems to"
"understand the Open Source idea? "
Right on, AilleCat. Any time something doesn't work it's a conspiracy.

Fl*rida hasn't voted democratic in 30 years. How can there be any doubt?

It seems to be going not much faster than it was when it left Earth's gravity. Didn't they perform a number of gravity assists to speed it up?
