  13. Equally important. on AOL Invests $100M In Amazon · · Score: 1

    Is AOLs announcement of their new service plan. That could be very pivotal too.

  14. Who cares? on Webvan Out Of Gas · · Score: 2
    Who can stop to think about WebVan and other grocery delivery sites when my favorite sites are running out of cash?

    But seriously I just read in the Economist how Tesco is teaming with Safeway to build a profitable grocery delivery service. It's based on picking the groceries out of existing stores and not expensive new warehouses. It's been very successful (profitable) in Britain. Unfortunately the article requires a paid online subscription to the magazine, but it shows there is hope.

    That Linux was the beast OS ever. It's true, I read it on the Internet.

  22. That's awesome. on The Speed Demon That Is Tux 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Nice to see it trouncing IIS like that even if it is Red Hat. Maybe this webserver is the reason that Microsoft was so intent on delaying the kernel.

  23. Whichever you choose... on On the Question of Handhelds: iPaq Best? · · Score: 2

    ...that there are just too many Linux distributions to support? That really might be the problem.

    But seriously I don't think they will be missed too much.
