I normally like OpenGL what with its crossplatform nature and use in GLQuake. Hell, I even used it in some of classes at the university to draw simple gourand lighting efetcs.
Bur with the advent of DirectX 7.0 and the specs of the Xbox, I don't see OpenGL havng much of as life anymore. Look what Carmack's even saying about DirectX vs OpenGL, look at the Microsoft/Bungie combo, look at what the Xbox provides compared to OpenGL...and you my friend will be looking at the end of OpenGL within the year.
Ah...Plan 9, I hate thee and I do not know you. Before my current job, I worked at a food service business. I cannot say directly the name though due to the nature of my ending terms because I worked directly with the security aspects of the networks, but we were the #1 distributor of fruit, condiments, and prewarmed ground corn to Southern US hotels. (Hint - starts with an A, end with a K, and has MAR in the middle)
At Company X, I was called in at least twice a week to assist lower level techs in working with FORTE on our dying Sun IPXs. Forte is the pre-cursor of Plan 9 developed in the late 80's/early 90's by a few people at DEC in their spare time. Let me tell you, Forte should have died with Digital a few years ago.
If Plan 9 is anything like Forte, count me out. Barring a small miracle and total code rewrite, if I ever see another Forte.conf or Plan 9.conf I will kill someone. I cannot count the times Forte dissaperared from the process tables for no reason. I thought it was our hardware (Sun IPXs aren't the best things after all, even more so the model GRTS-11 we had...*shudder*) but even after trying it on an HP-UX box and some homemade x86 servers Forte still sucked.
Finally I had to call up DEC and pull every string I had to get a tech to come here to examine. The problem? "Oh, Forte has known bugs with Ethernet. Try FDDI."
*)@E&ASDI) WTF is that! I tried to understand why Forte didn't like our Ethernet. No dice. Finally, we had to spend over $35,000 USD to rewire the server section with FDDI. Ughh.
Granted Forte did work then, but the performance left much to be desired. I hope Plan 9 fares better than Forte did (ask around, Forte was a beast). But be warned before diving headfirst into Plan 9, I got burned bad by it's original incantation.
Yet again I see Linux making headlines, and yet again it is for naught. If Linux actually was such a strategic solution, we as a community would be overwhelmed with reports such as this. Linux must be integrated into every market if we are to see more than singular successes such as this one. Linux must deliver in the e-business sector for this to happen. A massive grassroots campaign must be employed as a whole to start seeing less talk, and more action for Linux.
I suggest the following:
1) Remove the multi-user aspect of the kernel. But faeryman you exclaim, Linux must have the multi-user nature in order to be Linux! And I ask why? khttpd is a viable alternative to Apache, thereby aiding Linux in end-to-end applications. The addition of more than one user adds extra security risks, and would you trust your data on an insecure B2B e-service? I think not!
2A) Remove all support for multiple architectures excepet x86. Again I am sure you are shocked at this notion. Let me explain. Firstly, the kernel sources are taking up over 1MBs of storage compressed. I shudder at the notion of how many inodes and blocks would be used if I were to uncompress it. This space is better suited to both extend customized bandwidth and empower e-commerce database. Ask yourself, would you want to know you could not complete that one extra e-business transaction beacuse your disk was full? Even though we are talking about terabytes worth of data, 2 megs can make or break your "clicks-and-mortar" architectures.
2B) Secondly, there is no need for your server OS to run on more than one platform. Linux is prized for running on old hardware. It does not make finacial sense to purchase new computers running non-x86 CPUs when your 486 will work fine for dynamic systems.
3) Remove all piping, inter-application communication, and windowing systems. These "features" have zero use for you to leverage front-end applications. There is no point in piping your e-commerce database through 'grep' or to a shell script. None. Applications have no need for communication if there is not multi-user aspect anyway. Would you want a hacker to run a DDoS in the background from your database server? I think not.
After these 3 crucial steps, I think it clear. Linux is not a viable option in either B2B markets or e-commerce applications. My recomendation is to run MS-DOS for the time being on your backend and big-iron servers. It meets the three above criterion for success, and has backing by a proven software company behind it. I have found that legal copies (not these pirated linux CD-R's by a man named 'RedHat') of MS-DOS 6.22 can be purchased for less than $25US at most stores.
Please consider my points Mr. Torvalds. Your customers will thank you in the end.
THE JENNY JONES SHOW "I have a perverse sexual fetish"
Jenny: Hi, and welcome to today's show - "I have a perverse sexual fetish." Let me warn you, today's topic is on the distrubing side. We will meet three men who at first glance appear to be normal, sane, and well-educated but thier deviant addiction to the popular Internet website Slashdot.org and individual sexual perversions set them apart from you and I.
Audience: EWWWWW!
Jenny: Let us meet our first guest, Harry Knowles.
(Harry Knowles, webmaster of the popular movie rumor site Aint It Cool News, is escorted from the backstage area in a wheelchair.)
Jenny: Hello Harry. I must say, I have visited your site many times and am honored to finally speak with you. So tell us, what is your sexual perversion?
Harry: Well Jenny...I have never admitted this before...but...I'm sorry.
(Harry is obviously distraught.)
Jenny: Don't be. Does it have anything to do with your paralysis?
Harry: Yes. I once enjoyed a normal sex-life, but that changed after the accident which left me paralyised from the waist down and left me unable to orgasm.
Jenny: That's understandable
Harry: It gets worse. After hours of masturbation and ingesting dangerous amounts of amyl-nitrate, I realized only one thing gives me any semblance of carnal pleasure....
(Harry pauses.)
Harry(head in hands): I like to pour hot grits down my pants.
Audience: EWWWWW!
Jenny: Hot grits...as in the breakfast food..??
Harry(in tears): Yes. Hot grits as in warm ground corn. I like to pour them down my pants. It feels so warm, so tender...don't hate me, is it wrong for a man to do the only thing that pleasures him?
Jenny: No, no it is not. It is obvious this strains you.
Harry(smiling): Strains me? Oh heavens no! Hot grits are a wonderful lover! Oh, to feel her sweet carress on my lifeless genitals. It is that of the great muse, Natalie Portman!
Audience: WOOOOO! NATALIE PORTMAN!
Harry: Yes Jenny, I am a gritsman...and I love it!
Jenny: Well I am glad you have found some way of self-satisfaction in material objects. Our next guest, however, finds gratification only in the digital world. Signal 11, come out!
(Signal 11, posterboy karma whore of Slashdot, is escorted from the backstage area. He sits, legs crossed, in a chair next to Harry Knowles.)
(Somewhere in the audience screams of "-1, Troll" are heard. Signal 11 reaches into his pocket and withdraws a phone. The phone is solid black, save for the words "BITCHSLAP" written on it. He quickly hits the button labeled "speed dial to cmdr. taco" and converses briefly. Suddenly, the entire audience is quiet and Signal 11 smiles.)
Jenny: Hello Signal 11.
Signal 11: Hello Jenny. I am pleased to be here. Perhaps after the show we can go orchestrate e-commerce applications?
Jenny: Uhhhh....anyway, what is your sexual perversion?
Signal 11: It all stems from my inability to syndicate interactive communities properly, embrace strategic supply-chains in the correct vortals....and that I have only one testicle.
Jenny: Wow. Those buzzwords. You strike me as one Insightful, Interesting, and Informative guy!
Signal 11: No need for the praise Jenny. My mod squad is on it. Say, how about that recent merger between Bungie and Micro$oft? That's going to leverage killer e-markets!
Audience: mmmmgrgppgh
Jenny:(laughing) Ha ha ha ha! "Micro$oft" You are a true master of language Signal 11, and Funny too!
Audience: mmmmgrgppgh
(Several geeky looking men come running in from backstage. Each carries a bit of karma labeled Insightful, Interesting, Informative, and Funny. They all rush to Signal 11's side and begin showering him with karma. It is obvious he is receiveng a sexual thrill from this public attention.)
Audience: mmmmgrgppgh
Jenny: You...you...you're a karma whore!
Signal 11: Yes Jenny, I am a karma whore...and I love it! I must run to the bathroom now.
(Signal 11 and his moderators get up and rush backstage. Before they are out of earshot though, one moderator is heard saying "Hey bojay, I gots sum cheap 3 dolla crack dog. You wants some too?")
Jenny: You have entered into the conversation. All you previous moderations are undone, and Signal 11 now has no more whored karma.
(Signal 11 begins to cry as the bulge in his pants fades away. He hides his head in shame and runs off. Sadly, the audience has not had time to email pater and is still bitchslapped.)
Jenny: Well. With that out of the way, let's meet our third guest - OSM!
Audience(delighted): mmmmgrgppgh
(OSM, the sole source of truth on Slashdot, is escorted from the backstage area by what appears to be a being of pure energy. They sit, together, on a couch.)
OSM: Oh no, this is much more pure and supple. This...this is Natalie Portman!
(The light shining from Natalie Portman cuts out so everyone can see her beautiful teen radiance. The mere sight of her firm breasts is enough to undo the bitchslapping. She and OSM warmly embrace.)
Audience: WOOOOO! NATALIE PORTMAN!
Jenny: Loving Natalie Portman is not a sexual perversion. It is a normal and healty sexual outlet with the most beautiful gift on this Earth. If only we could all be as fortunate as you. If I could only have a lesbian relationship with her, however so fleeting. Ahhhhhh....
OSM: Can't talk. Must kiss.
Natalie Portman: Yes. Kiss me, kiss me and let us be as one. You are my soul-twin.
(The pair embrace again and kiss. After 15 minutes, OSM picks Natalie up and walks away with her - still kissing. The audience is forever touched by such a kind and beautiful sight as Natalie Portman, and goes about the world to do good deeds and troll Slashdot.)
Linux is a crossplatform OS. when programmers limit themselves to the x86 architecture, everyone loses out. the PPC and Alpha crowd at first, but Linux can't finally get "world domination" if most apps run on only one platform and we _all_ get screwed.
i shudder at the thought of a x86/Linux dominated world. Linux is all about freedom of choice, and the whole "Linux on x86 is all that matters" train of thought gets us nowhere.
In an attempt to raie my karma up from the current -15, I beseech any moderator reading this to help a down and out brother. Oh, how the tears will begone from my eye and a smile grace my face if someone would spare me some karma!
So to help you out, here are reasons why to mod me up:
Insightful: After reading this article I have a few questions. Mainly, what are the potential security ramifications to both the whitehats and blackhats? It appears as though security was not directly mentioned, so sadly I fear that the designers left this crucial part out. I would not trust my data with an insecure system, and I'm sure you wouldn't either.
Interesting: After reading this article, I see that it is very similar to what is already on the market. Do they plan on setting this product outside of currently existing technology, or embrace what already is there?
Informative: I have set up a mirror of this site as it appears to be/.ed already:(
Funny: Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?!?!?!
Underrated: Come on. I post at 0 now, hook me up. Look at these Insightful, Interesting, Informative, and Funny reasons!
Here are reasons why to NOT mod me down:
Overrated: Come on. I post at 0 now. This is not worth of -1, if at least for the novely value.
Troll: Nowhere am I suggesting this is a "FRIST PSOT D00D!" or that "Natalie Portman" is "naked and petrified."
Flambait: Nowhere am I suggesting that "Taco sux!" or "Signal11 blows!" or "linux sucks me"
i do! it is 2.37 am here...and im browsing/. i too am drunk, as i can see you are too! perhaps i can play unreal tournament tonight at 4 am...i shall frag you my drunken comrade:)
and i dont care what i get rated, this should be +6 Insightful anyway, so should your comment!
since a virus is natures equal to a cracker in that it can pentrate a system, spread itself, and take the host down if need be...what if this method of computer growth was applied by the blackhats? perhaps we might see one day nano-computers who sole purpose is viral behavior and loaded over a network or physical means.
or - if computers are built using this method, whose to say a cracker couldn't further the growth/development of these for thier own purposes....ie - the virus no longer exists in software, it lives on your motherboard and finally overtakes it physically!
Daikatana sx0rs! this isnt flambait, Henmos said so! only weenies play it!
in all seriousness though, i played the demo...and *cough* it wasn't all that. i ran around in a cheap rip off of a level from Turok on the N64, fighting dragonflys of all things, and looking at the text 'you feel the poison leaving your body' or some such broken english nonsense run by.
my boss was like 'faeryman, turn that crap off.' for once my boss was right.
sorry john, i used to have a picture of you (long flowing hair and all) taped on my monitor. not anymore bud, not anymore
this one time at work a few days ago, my boss asked me why i was laughing...i was reading/. and was like 'SIGNAL 11, NAKED AND PETRIFIED!' since i read that in a comment.
he said 'oh faeryman, i still see you have your daily glue sniffing habit' and walked off.
so damn you Signal11, my boss thinks im a druggie thanks to you! ive been glue free for over 13 days now.

anyone know where i can get an 8 inch floppy drive? ive got the disks, just need the drive.
this is _not_ flamebait.

i shudder at the thought of a x86/Linux dominated world. Linux is all about freedom of choice, and the whole "Linux on x86 is all that matters" train of thought gets us nowhere.
its an olivetti-5030 server with four 486 boards in it. the motherboard has no processor slot on it, rather they sit on expansion cards.
:)~~~~
i think you can get dual, maybe quad too, 486 motherboards for a VERY hefty price IIRC.
and i would kill for a 16 proc pentium mobo
