And, taking the premise that inequality is bad, then this is bad. In fact, under that premise, meritocracy itself is bad because it awards benefits to those who already have an advantage of some sort.
The west's obsession with both meritocracy and equality is hilariously impossible.
I'm generally happy with the new look, except for the bit between the story and the comments. Everything is stacked vertically, so on a wide screen you end up with tons of wasted space.

Wine 1.2 Released

· Score: 2, Interesting
I think Wine needs a usability team. Some kind of gui/tooling to make things easier for newbies to Wine.
The vineyard project is working on that, I believe: http://vineyardproject.org/
The company was set up to make a fantastic Linux distribution and other tools around it and get it out there and get people using it. That was the focus." That's now changing at Canonical as the emphasis is now shifting to generating revenues.
We're fine with moving priority to the new objective as soon as you've completed the former.;-)
Ubuntu 10.04 <a href="http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/04/21/2021247/Ubuntu-LTS-Experiences-Xorg-Memory-Leak">presumably</a> is not it just yet.</p></quote>
I have to say, FF 3 is this bad for me as well, but with FF3.5 I'm at about 200MB after a few days. And if I close all but one of the tabs I have open, it drops to about 75MB.
3.5 is a much bigger improvement for me than 3.0 was.
If this was a report about Ubuntu brainstorm, pretty much the same thing, it would be a glowing review? Why can a for profit company not employ the same techniques?
Dell is running Ideastorm. I don't see the big deal either, as long as terms are clearly stated.
Honestly, I think that would work. There's a proverbial snowball's chance in hell that it could happen, and it would delay Windows 7 considerably, but in the long run it would work.
Wine is already shipping with the default setting to use XP, and given the relative development rates, it's catching up at an alarming rate. My guess is that by the time Windows 7 rolls around, XP apps on wine will be near-perfect, and Vista apps will run with only a few problems. With theoretical access to the existing Windows code and support from Microsoft's deep pockets, Vista support could be done by 2009.
But unfortunately, it will never happen.

Wireshark is currently rewriting their UI in Qt explicitly because it provides a much better OSX interface than the existing version.

The Linux NTFS drivers are working well now. That's what I use on my shared partition.

I really want to meet this mythical 'average user' someday. Every user has different needs and different expectations.
They sell support for Ubuntu. I remember reading somewhere that they recently became profitable, but I don't recall where.
