Upcoming Bluetooth 1.2 will use UPnP for service discovery and Windows 00/XP does already support UPnP (Microsoft pretty much invented it). So there is the second most wide spread wireless communication standard (after IR I think) and the most wide spread service discovery protocol, which will interoperate with each other. This could be the breakthrough.
The political news I get from radio (eyes closed, in bed). On my way to work local and international headlines are shown on the tram, and once at work I start my day with slashdot, userfriendly, linuxdevices. That way I'm completely informed before 10AM:-)
I don't think it will happen during the next 6 weeks, there are still some major things to be done. IDE still does not work as module (some circular dependencies in symbols), ISDN is still somewhere between the no longer working old model and the not yet complete CAPI support, just to name two.
McVoy once talked on lkml about alternatives and uttered sth. like "if any other system can ever come close in features then it will be arch". Afaik an upload of all kernel versions into an arch repository is under way already for 2-3 weeks as a test, so maybe with some heavy code-reviewing-and-feature-hacking a replacement for BK can be there in a month or so. Arch can be found here: arch</ a>
If there is such a thing as an evil Linux distributor then it's certainly not Redhat but SuSE. Just a few points: * Proprietary, non-GPL administration tool (Yast), which controls all dependencies (instead of letting rpm do the job) * Big, big marketing department * A registry-like obfuscation mechanism called rc.config, which holds configuration data for all application (but not all of it of course...) * strange kernel patches nobody ever heard of
No, Redhat is perfectly ok for me as the distribution for business use. Privately I use Debian, which I think is technically best, but I wouldn't use it in business (release cycles too long, resulting in too many outdated software and therefore missing features)
The really scary part is that afaik Europol is under no parliamentary control at all, they can do whatever they want and eavesdrop on each and everybuddy. Knowing that you somehow don't feel like being on the western side of the iron curtain.
I think the most simple way to achive the goal is to make a static frameset with apropriate META-Tags. This will get indexed, no matter which content the sub-sites have
The last time SuSE talked about the images "soon" being on their ftp-servers it took about two weeks so they had enough time to make _big_ profits with selling their CDs... why do I always get the impression SuSE that tries to copy M$'s success, with similar rough methods? Think about the registry, pardon, rc.config...
A friend of mine works in a company developing with Notes. It must be a true nightmare. Notes apparently is not compliant to major RFCs regarding email, that is well known. But the problems go deeper it seems. That friend described it once with the words: "Imagine you feed data into the system, when the disk is full you put a larger one in and still feed data into the system. But if you try to get data out of it you realize that either the data is gone or that even the administrator does not have the permission to get the data out."
I think the problem with mozilla is that the opensource-community did not fully accept it. It is a large project with a predefined roadmap and scheduled release dates. That's not what the "average" opensource programmer likes. In addition to that there is a large and, as I heard, not that well written amount of existing code and 140 professional Netscape programmers continously working on it. There are not so many programmers even able to help in the project.
yeah, your perfectly right. Trying to be an idol was great to get a big marketshare, but Amazon was financed only by selling more and more stocks when the bills got to high. Apparently for Amazon the moment has come where the rules of normal business and market have to be applied on internet-business, too.
Me and some friends will try to write sth. like that the next weekend, since we had the same idea some time ago... If we're successful we'll release it.

Hey, has anybody thought about selling the thing on ebay? Auction starting at $1, self-collectors only ;-)

This is typical for SuSE, fitting into their general marketing strategy. Which in many points reminds me of that other company (tm) from Redmond.
