One thing we know, whatever the corps decide not to cover, if it's in the main body of documents, Jesse Ventura will find and make a book out of it. He was smart about that. And it probably got a bunch of people to read WikiLeaks info that otherwise would not have.
As soon as Anonymous went after Sony and the banks, the corps got the governments to nail them. Anonymous would have been safe if they kept their activities aimed at less powerful entities. In any case, I bet most of these guys are just low level pawns for the real hackers.
Most video games cost millions to make. Why would a major company risk that money by taking chances on a new style of game or innovative major feature?
The new, innovative stuff appears to be getting done on small games like minecraft and angry birds. There is not as much money invested, and very few devs, so they can take bigger risks. As these kinds of games get more successful, expect the big companies to make their own versions.

I think the camel's head didn't fit. The pic probably needs resized. As for the camel, it's featured on "Programming Perl", which has been the main way to learn Perl for most programmers. BTW, "Programming Perl" is being updated for a maybe-December release. I was notified by O'Reilly after reviewing "Programming Perl" and saying it was old and out of date.
Supporting the Summer of Code is my favorite aspect of the Google Corporation. They help young guys learn real programming and also improve lots of open source projects. It would be great if other big companies also did this, but after so many years, I doubt it will happen.
I'm sure there will be tons of fixing going on for the 11.10 release. I really hope they backport the Unity fixes into 11.04. They already backport Firefox and Office releases, so if they do Unity as well, 11.04 should improve over time.
If they keep Unity locked where it is at release, that will probably cause a lot of users to either switch to Gnome Classic, if they can figure out how, or switch to another distro (maybe just staying with 10.10).

I think it's funny. I bet Woz does too.
Congrats to the Foundation! Maybe this will get more people to study and understand science. I hope some other institutions follow suit.
None of which will be used against the cops. Unfortunately.
What with all the OS companies trademarking the various gestures, there's no way they'll become standardized. Unfortunately.
If Apple doesn't defend their trademark, they lose it. Thank our wonderful legal system for this stuff.

I wish I had mod points.
That would be cool!

China is a worker's paradise. You'd think they would have strong unions.
If it was, I'm sure a few morons would download it.
What about ASCII porn? Lynx is perfect for that!
Since most sciences require a lab, the universities are already getting extra money. At least they were when I was in college.
I really don't care for either Gnome Shell or Unity, so I'm going to give xfce a whirl for the next 6 months.

Wow, times flying. Seems like this was just happening. Don't get old, kids!
Emacs supports just about every programming language you can think of.
I agree. The only people really pushing the cloud are the companies who want to supply the servers.
They should learn Advanced Squad Leader. They'd learn how to think critically and gain a little bit of history. :)
I wish I had mod points, because I'd mod you way up. The Gnome Shell devs should all be fired. They are the reason for Unity, since SHELL is so awful.

There will be no RC for Ubuntu 11.04. They just renamed it to Beta2. So it's the exact same thing as a release candidate.
