KDE's ok but it has a long, long way to go. Until they decide to address only performance and stability issues instead of new features it will remain a runner-up.

Yeah, right, uh-huh, MS is looking to steal ideas from KDE. That's rich! You can't be Bill G. you are a lame dreamer, Bill G. makes things happen. (ok with a little help from his mother)

Someone thinks they smell money here. But I have serious doubts that they will become a $1x10^8 company. I've
never paid them any money. Have you? What is their business model? This is either politics, (i.e. someone wants Hardt out of there way) or it's greed rearing
its ugly head or both.
We will see activestate wither on the vine and fall off unless someone that realizes what activestate's about comes on board. They make a perl for windows (and some other stuff). And few people pay for perl for windows.

I don't trust them, I think the folks at Quicken willl do anything to make sure they can pay for their expensive swedish sailing yachts and that includes collecting and selling your financial information.
The suits, the admin types, the finance, HR, etc., etc. are still on windows. Linux is a joke on the desktop. Switching your entire company to linux on the desktop would make them even more unproductive than they are on windows.
Have a look at zeitgeist on google if you'd like to see what completely dominates on the desktop.
Linux is a niche player and will remain so for a long time.
Stability from the kernel to the desktop has to occur first.
I've got a 1400Mhz box and KDE makes it into a slug.
I agree that the zealots are very sensitive to criticisms.
The linux desktop is a long, long way from being suitable for anyone other than someone that likes to tinker with their computer.
Stability at all levels is a joke. From one kernel to the next things break that once worked and vice-versa.
Too many people working on competing parts make the entire thing suffer. Linus should step up and be more of a "voice" IMO. Larry Wall has been, for example, with perl. I love linux but it's got some serious problems to overcome. Much of it because of the competing projects.

It's a simple matter of the price being too high in a lot of markets. Broadband is alive and kicking.
There are too many legacy companies run by legacy CEOs, with legacy business models trying to charge legacy prices. Get them and their boards-of-directors out of the way and let the dat flow. It's about economy of scale. Once they lower the price , bandwidth will become cheaper and broadband will follow and the masses will hook up! It's a stupid cliche, but it's true.

Well, guess what HP will keep PA-RISC for a while just as a hedge. The writing's on the wall. though and it's TTL is short. As for ignoring/. headlines what has HP done to dispell the rumours of the demise
of PA-RISC? Need I say more?
IF it's such a sound business model why do they need to raise money? An IPO in this economic climate is crazy and can only mean they are greedy and that their business model does NOT work. No one goes public because it's fun. It's a fucking pain-in-the-ass to be publicly traded. You suddenly have to answer to
investors big and small and that takes up lots of time.
paypal started free, now they are not free and they still
can't make it work so how can raising money improve their business model? I wouldn't buy any of the paypal shares with your money!
I hadn't used my account for some time and had no idea it was no longer free until I sold something on eBay. When the buyer paid me I checked my paypal account and found out they took 3% without notice. Without asking. I have closed my account and now use the pay service yahoo provides. It is free. Any company doing an IPO is clueless. Either the folks at PayPal are greedy or stupid or they are hurting for cash. If they're hurting for cash then that's a good sign that their current business model is not sound. So
by charging people for the use of their service isn't working what will?
Well heck if you're going to worry about nuclear
devices then keep in mind that the sun becomes

IT is very cool, but there is definitely
a bit of extra hype. Someone had a link
to a pic of one which I can't find now.
johnson and johnson has helped fund the R&D.
And since this requires FDA approval the development is more like a drug than a bicycle
or the like and so development is very expensive.
I saw him demo this on the a PBS show.
It's very cool. They had to turn away volunteer testers because they had so many people that wanted to use IT. It can go up curbs and stairs.
It's got a complex gyro system so that IT can balance on 2 wheels (~10" Diameter). It allows
a quad or para -plegic to essentially stand up.
That would allow them to be eye-to-eye with
someone else standing. First trial users were
so overwhelmed by the freedom that they were
crying with joy. IT is very big for anyone
confinned to a conventional wheelchair.
Look for it soon. It won't be cheap though.
The idea is that owning IT actually saves money
because you don't have to modify your living
space as you would for a conventional wheelchair.
