If that's true, it's fairly interesting.
Mainsoft makes cross-platform products to run Windows apps on Unix (and Linux), and Elaya Alaluf is their VP of Technology.

Circumstantial evidence that the leak originated at mainsoft. (they could have been hacked from outside, of course.)
If you look closely at the big image linked on the "new release" page, he's running Gnome on his desktop machine, and what looks like windows 2000 on his laptop.
What's really interesting to me is that I have absolutely no f**king idea what this software is supposed to be doing, other that looking at his eye (and that wasn't even explained in the text).

Perhaps--though mostly, just pictures of web authors and their pets; it's a "pet peeve".
I think it's fair to take a site on web design to task on its web design (re: irrelevant content). Though now that I see that the Alex of "Philip and Alex" is the dog, I'll defer judgement.;-)

The sight loads fast, but I haven't looked further than that, since it commits one of the worst web designs sins imaginable:
pictures of the designer and their pet on the site!.
Who can tell me where the most-devastating earthquake in the last 200 years took place? Hmmm?
1811, Missouri. One minute, a peaceful plain of small towns and rolling farmland. The next minute, bingo, a hellish nightmare of death and devastation. Bodies twisted and broken beyond recognition.
Tomorrow, Section 6, of "Our Changing Planet"; Earthquakes & Cataclysms - Man's Dalliance with Death. Have a nice day...
A company called Rabbit Semiconducter sells
cute single board computers, too (non-Linux, but shop & compare)--they
have a TCP/IP development kit with ethernet, serial, a royalty free C compiler, and sample
code (including webserver!) for $199.
A bare "core" board with ether & serial (RCM 2110)can be had for $59. It's only a 22Mhz Z80-derived 8-bit processor, so even a Beowolf Cluster of these would be hard to get a MIP from.
I'm a-fixin' to buy me a couple to control some analog video switch gear. I love Linux, but I'm a cheap bastard, too.
Anyone else struck by the/. post right above the death of "Q" announcement? Just the kind of thing he would have come up with. (I can hear him now--"It's a sub-dermal implant that tracks your location via Global Positioning satellites. Do try not to break it.") *m*

These guys have either never heard of the Gambrinus' Mug and its illustrious forbear, the Cat's Meow, or are really picky about licensing agreements.

I discovered that some folks are tried to split water thermally using solar energy to heat the water. Check out http://www.pureenergysystems.com/news/2004/07/09/6 900033_Solar_Hydrogen/ for an example (couldn't find any efficiency ratings, alas).

At $150k, probably cheaper than a prototype stack robot, but more expensive than a grad student to perform the same task.

I think the problem with Liberals (at least in the U.S.) is that we keep losing elections--even when we win them (like 2000).
