OK. I work as a consultant for serveral State agencies. I can tell you first hand that SCO is killing themselves Here is what's happening. IBM is triking back by discontinuing any DB2 or Informix support on SCO. So we are migrating those boxes to Linux/Oracle. The State Agencies I consult for use HPUX, AIX, Linux, and SCO. No new SCO boxes are going to be implemented, and we are migrating away from SCO. Most small hosts are going to be migrated to the Z series maingframe on a Linux partition.
Well, I guess someone needs to write an ext3 driver for the microsofties. Or... all flash should be shipped unformatted. I usually reformat to ext3 anyway. Now my camera.. that's a different story. The digial camera wants vfat. But heck.. the rules were differenct at the time of manufacture.
I home the digital camera vendors plan to adopt an open filesystem standard and not go proprietery for thier own product line. that would suck.
Supply and Demand... There will be no demand for trusted computing. and the Asian market will do well. Hopefully an open standard will evelve and we will use the "Open Bios"
This is a great step for mankind! Hopefully this will snap the space program into gear again.
When I was a kid I heard we were supposed to build a station on the moon. A lunar space station would be the ultimate space station. Instead we got sidetracked with the space shuttle, and a poorly designed one at that. We should have used the X-33 type model. And proceded to build a lunar station with the Saturn V technology. The Chinese are smart, they may not have the same political views as the rest of us, but they are smart, and I believe capable of landing on the moon.
This would have been the year to launch a mission to mars, but we missed it.
I'd love to see a manned mars mission in my lifetime.
I built an Ace 2000 in 1982. This was a Z80 based computer that was a clone od the Sinclair computer. I brought in into school one day and someone bought it off me to install in their car.
I tell you what. I wouldn't trust these guys. Plus $250.. per hack isn't worth the money. And I bet if they cut you a check your name will be recorded in a database. Heck when I worked at a consulting company and they challenged me to hack into a system , I brought my linux laptop in, scanned the network (without being issued an IP. I had to crack that as well but as it turned out their DHCP server was open). I probed the network, broke into 5 NT Servers (It was 1999). From then on whenever there was a security breach they asked if I had anyting to do with it. So it's not worth the hassle.
These machines will have a limited market. And the market drives the industry. This will fail. You can always buy your own motherboard. Not all manufacturers will go with a Phoenix/Microsoft Bios. And there's always the open firmware project.
SCO is fighting a losing battle. Also they are in breach of the GPL. They include many open source applications. I hope McBride get's what's coming to him. You can be a duche' bag forever and go unscathed. Pretty soon it will come back to bite him in the ass. If you ask me, it looks like McBride is trying to pump up his stock and get it ready for a pump and dump. The GPL has a solid foundation. SCO has no merit.
This is just FUD. After all, Windows 2000 has been responsible for spewing the worms around the internet lately. What netcraft does not show is server consolidation. Linux server consolidation has been on the increase.. especailly with the high end hardware that's been coming out lately. I consolidated 6 servers myself into a new Compaw DL 580 with 4 processors. So Netcraft does not catch that. Consolidation is going on. I consult for a state agency. And we plan to consolidate further.
This license strategy isn't going to work. If they are going to charge for this I will just run Open Source Applications on Solaris.
This technology looks like the old magnetic bubble
on
MRAM in 2004?

This technology reads like it is based on the old Magnetic Bubble technology. Late 70s / early 80s. Except Bubble memory cards were about the size of an IDE Drive.
I had a maxell cdrom with a gash on the top of the disk. This rendered the disk unreadable. I simple too a sticker and slapped it on like a bandaid, problem solved!
Yes but.. one cell spits, now you have three, three cells split... now you have six.. and so on, but as each cell splits.. on the seventh time... it is supposed to die!
Have any of you read the article posted on the NY Times website? Do these people have any clue at all? If a cell divides more than 7 times and does not die the result is CANCER!
These people are idiots.
The test subject is ringworm... gee maybe the ringworm slowed down because it is not a cancerous mass!
Reality check everyone! Most of us don't even make it to our late 60s. Sure medicine has advanced in the past 25 years. But the reality most of us are loosing our mind to Parkinsons or Alzhiemers. If we escape that we may die from Cancer. We've been poisoning our environment for hundreds of years now and we expect to live longer. Nope. I expect the average lifespan to drop. Even farm raised samon from the United States is full of PCBs. The truth isn't out about cell phone radiation because a multibillion dollar industry will go bust. I tell you what I do not use my company supplied cellphone often, and I treat it like fire. I've got to do something to make up for the contaminated well water I drank as a teenager for over 1 year. My parents well was contaminated with Tricholethylene, Benzene, Tetrachloryethelyne..and we drank it without knowing. Until we did a water test.
Also my granmother is 85 years old. She still has her mind. She's never sick, but now her body is attacking her.. rhumatoid arthritis is awful. And there isn't a cure, just a treatment. And sometimes the treatment just does not work. Also... eyes. man.. she took a baby aspirin as recomended to reduce the possibility of a heart attack, well the aspirin a day put her at risk for macular Degeneration. She's can't see well. My brother bought some natural herbal medicine that may reverse some of the illness, she's been on the treatment for 4 months and can now look at me in the eye. She couldn't see my eyes before.
Would I want this body to last over 100 years? Nope.
Just for downloading ISO's of Linux and some robot development code. I don't need content that's boring. What content will fly is if you have a subscription to a magazine and they have a free site for subscribers... like Sky & Telescope, Discover, Popular Mechanics, etc. I don't need to pay for rehashed fluff.

My Linux foortprint complete with OS and cramfs file system with app and utilities fits under 8MB of Flash! So HA!
WINCE takes up 16MB of RAM and is SSLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWW And my MK104 embedded controller does not tie up resources while running the Linux kernel. I've got WiFi, ADC, DAC, Sonar, PWM and Digital Audio controlled by the robot as well as GPS on Serial and a CMU Vision system on Serial.
And.. Shit.. there's my Zaurus PDA that runs Linux, Wifi , My own custom apps I wrote in QT3.. and I use it as an interface to the ROBOT.

Logan is a dumbass! I got Spam assasin running in no time at all. I let cron delete the SPAM file
once per day. I don't get any unwanted mail.
Enough of this bullshit! Driving is fun, and maybe people should just pay attention to the road and get off the damn telephone!

Modify the user's profile and setup sudo for
