I remember when the I-Opener, Websurfer, and others were the next big thing. What happened? Why is the iPaq the popular model suddenly? Is it purely the "Hack-a-bility" factor? If that's the case goto Linux-Hacker.net where they shows hacks and kits...
Napster has been a great source of mp3's, discussions, copyright infringement, fun (for some), and annoyance (for others) for the past few years. When all is said and done, people will miss Napster, whether they liked it or hated it. The ones who liked it will obviously miss getting their favorite songs, while the people who didn't like it will have to find something new to complain about (especially Lars Ulrich.)
They need to combine this "new" technology with that weird panoramic-style camera that they used in the movie "A League of Their Own". It would create a whole new spin on the instant replay, while being helpful to officials. Now if they would only adopt this for all NFL games, and for other sports as well...
This is obvious, and I'm not claiming to be such a visionary, but the more competition there is between chip makers, the sooner we will have faster more efficient machines, so I'm all for it.
I agree. Corel's distribution were horror show-worthy. I have both 1.1 and 1.2 on CD's and I have tried installing both of them on about 10 different computers, to no avail. I thought maybe it was me, but I have installed a lot of other distros with no problem (for the most part.) I could never (and still don't) understand why neither release of corel liked any of my hardware... I think the world will be better off without Corel's crappy distro. Thanks for reading all of my rambling. Cheers
It's interesting to me that Apple would make a big fuss over this when it pertains to the open source community, but leaves M$ untouched. I mean after all, Bill stole the GUI from Apple. Think about it, the original Mac menu was on top and had an apple icon in the top left corner that allowed the user to access many programs. All that our "friend" Bill did was move the menu (aka taskbar) to the bottom of the screen and change the apple-icon menu button to a "start" button. In response to Apple, even as evil as M$ is, they didn't make anyone remove FVWM-95 or QVWM from themes.org.
Just putting in my 2 cents....
Hmmm, M$ infiltrates... Just another attempt to try to dominate the market... Just makes me wanna use Linux (or any non-M$ OS) that much more... If the M$ police come to my house they're gonna be pissed, just an old 95 disk w/ license and 3 floppies w/ a DOS 6.22 license, along with tons on Linux install cd's that I burned as well as "official" software disks from RedHat. So I challenge Bill and his thugs, "I call you out Bill!!!"
While it was nice that Michael mentioned that there would be future development for the desktop/workstation, he failed to mention any specifics. Just what will Redhat 7.1 and up hold for the average desktop user? Will it be simply drivers for hardware or some real significant improvements...? As a faithful Redhat user, it makes me wonder.

WebQL Turns the Web into a Giant Database
Isn't the Web really a giant database without 'WebQL'??? If the web isn't already a database of sorts, then what is it???
Can the different types of BSD's be compared to the different distros of Linux? Or are they really different from each other? I've seen the list of so-called differences on http://www.bsd.com, but what are the REAL differences?

Isn't a handheld wireless device an internet appliance too in a sense?
I dunno why I'm even bothering replying to an AC.
