  1. What about Plan 9? on The End of Unix? · · Score: 1

    The creators of Unix decided to try developing the successor to Unix, and they called it Plan 9.

  2. It's the same as with software... on Uncle Robin's Advice for Lovelorn Geeks · · Score: 1

    Windows looks good on the outside, but try a long term relationship with it, and you're left feeling empty. Linux on the other hand is rich, complex, and you'll never stop learning about it. It's plain and functional on the inside, but you can still dress it up -- and at least for you, make it look better than windows ever could.

    The comparison fits for closed vs open source software. For the long term, you need communication, the ability to understand, and you need to keep learning.

  3. ESR and RMS in Y2K? on Ask Eric S. Raymond Anything · · Score: 1

    Given the ethics, morals, and integrity that you've shown to this community, would you ever consider running for political office?

    Anything from State Rep, to Vice President, or (ceartinly to the information revoultion's gain), President?

    If Jesse can win a govenership in the midwest, why couldn't we elect ESR to a similar office?

  4. Should be a boon for on-line ad rates... on Less Television in Online Homes · · Score: 1

    It should boost the value of on-line advertising
    if the Advertising Agencies take this to heart.
    Should make it easier to turn a profit out of
    your site just using ads...the study is probably
    a good thing.
