The only possible reason they would want to read the source of thier competitors is to get the Aqua GUI. Think about it, a great deal of Apple's OS X is comprised of open source software.
Microsoft really wants a lickable user interface. People didn't want to lick Bob I guess.
I'd like a good software decoder so I can see what a DVD would looked like on my I-opened-it.
Oh, I'm sure it will look like shit, but I'm still curious. Also, I'd have the satisfaction of having the MPAA and Netpliance have a stroke at the same time.
One of the best is Wings of Honneamise, and I haven't seen it mentioned yet. An "elseworlds" sort of story where a Japanese type society gets into and arms/space race with a Chinese style society. Unforgetable visual design, good story. Character driven. Don't miss it.
The new digital channels have 19.4 megabits/second of data capacity, said Gary Schultz of the Multimedia Research Group. A standard-definition television image only takes up 4-5 megabits. There could be up to 7 megabits/second of free space between the lines of an HDTV image, Schultz said. That's enough to send 75.6 gigabytes per day: 75 DVD-quality movies, 120 CD-sized video games, or 15,000 MP3 music files.
Wow. A DVD movie is 1 gig? Gee... so why do all of these VCDs look like crap? A DVD movie should easily fit on 2 standard CDs. It's always nice to see simple fact checking taking place before a story is written.
Uh, no. I beg to differ. The newsgroups are still crammed with crap from @home spammers. @Home's PR shifted blame to honest @home users who have home networks (specificly "insecure Linux proxy" machines with open news relays). @Home didn't fix their problems, they just pissed a bunch on people off and slammed Linux.
Would it be accurate to say that by writing articles that go on and on without end that what you are doing is attempting a DoS attack?
If JonKatz was in a forest alone and he spoke, would he still be wrong?
Let me tell you about the first Jon Katz post that ever put me to sleep. I was just sitting down in front of my keyboard. I reached over and booted my computer, and noticed my cat looking at me. I have three cats. This one was making a pest over herself, and I picked her up and put her in the living room, went back to my computer and shut the door so I wouldn't have to deal with her interuptions again. It was about this time my wife got home. She told me about the kind of day she had at work and I suggested we get something to eat. I would get back to the Jon Katz article later I thought. We went out for dinner and had Pizza. I like Peperoni and my wife likes bacon with extra cheese. We shared slices of each others pizza. The dinner cost about $20.00. I remember pizza used to cost alot less. It's a shame how expensive hings are nowadays. But what's worse than the cost of everything is the taxes. I hate paying such high taxes when most of my money is going to be wasted on big-government pork. Pork is good on Pizza. I also like BBQ pork and beans. The capital of Iowa is Des Moines. I drive a camaro.
The first thing I do every morning when I wake up is take a bath. You can learn a lot from a dog. If you forget history, you are doomed to repeat it. Did you see the latest pictures of Natalie Portman? Wow!
My favorite movie last year was The Iron Giant. I wish George Lucas would put the original trilogy out on DVD.
Is Saturn really a different kind of car company?
Do you think Linus has the patience to read one of Katz's articles? He's really busy with Transmeta.
Drug are bad, m'kay? So don't do drugs, or you'll be bad. m'kay? Cuz drugs are bad. m'kay?
How many 64 year old internet newbees are going to 1) visit slashdot 2) read a story about CERT advisories 3) know about Linux? No. Someone is having fun by equating Linux users to hackers and watching the storm. Or maybe it's FUD from Micro$oft.

An excellent idea if such a thing is possible.
;)
Certainly worth being moderated up
