I'd pay a grand to see the system design behind the "frame" and what decisions were made on what grounds. The arguments like, -"Hey, there is this thing called a MAC address, it's like, globally unique and stuff!"
Recently I've been working with a storage cluster technology from Caringo called CAStor. This is ofcourse for larger deployments and similar to Amazon S3. Main difference is that you can buy your own hardware and run in your own basement. Their long-term strategy is to run their proprietary software on top of commodity hardware. As long as they are around you can always upgrade your iron to the latest commodity and upgrade the storage cluster every 3-5 years. Your data is available via HTTP/1.1. The standard "www" protocol of the Intertubes will ofcourse change over time, but CAStor will adapt or you can pull your data out and move it to whatever "eternal" platform you might find in 10-15 years.
One of these will someday appeal to PC gamers who only care about their FPS in various obscure games. If we could provide them with a one-click Linux native in Windows we will have loads of new Linux users. This will of course need 3D ACCELERATION (caps) as Compiz is what they usually want.:)
VMware is doing 3d acceleration the other way around in one of their products which are in beta. Accelerated Windows in a VM in Linux. But, doh! Won't win any gamers over with that one. -1 FPS and it gets the boot!
My home servers are in screaming need of ZFS (A NetApp Filer for home use). I want ZFS implemented in Linux, like everyone else. Moving to a OpenSolaris based distribution just feels awkward and wrong, especially when ZFS has made it into FreeBSD 7.0 as an experimental feature.
Since the europe release I've spent on averge 8 hours a day ingame. If I count the endless hours I spend on allakhazam, thottbot and misc forums it's surely 10. My real job is my secondary job. My hunter is my primary job.
Why do you design endgame content to suck the life out of you? 10g repair cost per Razorgore attempt forces you to farm gold endless hours to actually afford to play. And I'm just a hunter. Maintanks cries themselves to sleep. 10% durability loss per death ftl!
I certaninly hope this exceeds my expectations! Is this "enterprise" ready? Does it have a consistent look & feel?.. or is it just crap-in-a-box? Let's all try the "eval".
This is a nice (Swedish site) keyboard without the numeric part and has a trackball made for your right thumb. Mainly designed to hold in your hands. It's black and wireless and probably works like a charm on my freevo system. Pretty juicy pricetag, around $100.
I've rolled in FC1 on our production servers, so just to make it clear that RHFC is *not* just a desktop OS. RedHat can go F**K themselves, I won't pay 1000 for something that is completly free and I've never ever needed any commercial support.
gkrellm has been around for some time now, does all the above without the uber-eye-candy. Who needs this bloat anyway? Let us all buy shiny new pentiums with mmx so we can run all the latest desktop fuzz! Great!
Starting a UnixWare strategy is like starting with two empty hands. There's a whole other market now, everybody is raving about Linux, even my mom. I have co-workers (including myself in a way) that has never ever heard the word UnixWare. Besides, Linux rocks as it is, they don't need to touch it, just add their enterprise carrier grade services on top.
Novell just has to get on board and sit down in the captains chair and... make it so.
Yep. I've tested eDir on Linux a year ago or so. Sluggish and buggy. Felt like a sidetrack, but now with the whole company with a new focus I can feel new life for it. But it's not just eDir. I want the fileserving as well. Wouldn't it be cool with a penguin in ConsoleOne, right click and then select 'manage'. Neat! =)
I've been waiting for something like this. This renders all of our NetWare servers obsolete as we can run eDirectory and the likes on top of our favorite operating system. I really like to see a product list of what they gonna put out. I don't want to see a new distribution, just the rpm's m'am. This changes everything(!). They've already made some good moves about bundling NAMP (Lamp on NetWare) in NetWare 6.5 with loads of open source tools. The Enterprise is more open minded then it was just a year ago. Strategic, IMHO.

Kodak, you're toast!
I have a hard time understanding Mac fanboys how they could worship this evil empire.

2nd that!
Yes, basic Direct3D, like the screensaver works. But if you wanna play games that use shaders and so on you have to get the beta.

I'm eyeballing the FreeNAS project daily. Sooner or later we will have a ZFS appliance, free as in beer at least. Sun have to work harder to win me over but things look promising. (Ubuntu on Sun hardware [+], trying to release Java under an Open Source license [+], closing some MySQL features [-])
I remember an old Teddybears STHLM song that comes to mind.. Only In America.
I love Samba, I love Andy! /cheerz

.. it's still just a bunch of scr1pt kiddies who want's to share warez. No good comes from the poison minds of the warez'ers.

..who's surprised? Soon we will obsolete their OS too. =)

Sorry for getting all microsoft'ish. RedHat is a good company, _but_ with a twisted marketing department.

Wish I had time to analyze them. Probably some malicious code in them.
This is simply flamebait. Do not argue about if Gnome is superior/inferior to KDE or vice versa. Use any *box instead. =P

It use to be the other way around. Employees want open source software and management spell death.
