Exactly who said Microsoft needs to be saved?
I'm looking at their 1st quarter results and,
"$2.19 billion in earnings, revenue $5.38 billion, a 28% increase over last year".
Doesn't sound like they need a lifeline to me.
The unfortunate situation is that most of the countries on the African continent are brutal racist dictatorships. Now look at the internet through a despot's eyes: is it really in your interests to open up your people to such corruption Western ideas as democracy, human rights and market economy?
Clearly no, so they just keep their people in ignorance and kill off any IT inroads. Good for business.
As cruel as it sounds, Corel's stock price went up today on news Cowpland is out.
I've been expecting this for a while. Corel has had many blunders in recent years. Word Perfect has pretty much lost the entire ground to MS Office, except the Linux version of course.
Does anyone remember the attempt to produce a Java version of the Office Suite?? At the end it got shelved, what a waste of money and manpower. And then there was the merger with Borland that went up in flames.
That was probably the coup de grâce Corel. With sadness with my heart because of all the good things Michael did to Corel back in the early days, the company is better off without him.
Novell right now is going through some rough sailing, so they probably figured it's either to let the bigger fish (cool blue) eat them or bite the silver bullet.
It's sad things went bad for them, but their philosophy of plugging into a network anything that emits heat is a head-plunge down a cliff.
Interbase fits right into a Linux environment.
Borland has just recently released its source code and so what we have now is an open-source, royalty-free, Borland-quality database to use and abuse.
The three reasons why Linux games sell poorly are:
* Linux still has only a tiny number of users compared to Windows/NT, and even fewer of them use it as a Desktop platform
* Linux software has a tradition of being free (beer, speech or otherwise) and some are just plain unwilling to pay for something they consider should be free
* Setting up 3D-Acceleration on XFree86 is still *HARD*, you have to follow long HOWTOs such as the 3DFX-HOWTO and just the sight of it scares off newbies and intermediate users.

Correction: until very recently he was the Minister of Interior, before he resigned from Barak's democtatorship that is. And a good thing he did, may Barak's govt. fall soon and we'll have Bibi back!
It's sad to see RemarQ gone, but we'll always have Deja, which has been there from the very beginning. Some say their archives go back to the early 90s, when civilization was just emerging from the stone-age BBS era and into the Bronze age (aka 'Usenet')
ReplayTV is a nice idea, however there is already competition from companies like TIVO, not to mention Videotron's Videoway which has been avaliable for years. (at least in Canada)
However, we are lucky enough to live in Capitalism where competition is vital to encourage companies for perfection in order to attract customers. Therefore the introduction of ReplayTV is not only necessary but vital to the industry in order to prevent monopolistic gorillas like Microsoft from appearing.
However the reality now is that the Intel 1 Ghz CPI is still sold only on paper why you can already buy 1 Ghz AMD over here in Canada, meaning this has been long on sale in the States as well.
I fear this CPU won't stand much chance against the giants. Intel and AMD have been undercutting each other's prices for several months now, meaning they are ready to sacrifice profits for market share, at least for now. Article on this is here:
Is Overkill by chance related to another project which produced a text-mode Quake?
You know, I've always wondered why do people want a text-mode action game, but then I recall my Cirrus Logic video card which is still humming on my 486/66 DX, and it all comes back.
Freenet truly is a revolution for the Web.
This movement will naturally face opposition from legal bodies such as the United States DOJ, however because Freenet is not specific to any company-bound server, but rather a collection of nodes, it looks promising to withstand govt. censorship.
What we are seeing here is a move from the traditional client-server interaction to a user-to-user approach which infact encourages sharing because it gives the share-ees a rewarding feeling of accomplishment, having given a part of their 'collection' to a desiring peer.
So long live Freenet, it's definitly the future.
But Freenet has several unique features that distinguish it from Napster and Gnutella. I especially like the fact that content can be uploaded anonymously which is great for banned intellectual assets like DeCSS.
Ultimatly, Freenet will probably be good for the internet if it takes off with success - the idea of unrestricted, free and anonymous content publishing will encourage Web diversity without the fear of lawsuits or just plan technical limitations.
Money is the driving force behind Capitalism. This sytem rewards personal, instead of collective effort and therefore encourages self-improvement for the goal of perfection and attainment of higher social status.
So money is the driving force? Absolutly, and ain't nothing wrong with it. Better rich than red.
I believe this new copyright legislation is great for artists, especially the more native ones that can be suckered in by the RIAA.
The problem is that these sharks can easily recognize fresh talent and use it with huge pecenages of profit going to them, as they did initially to Celine Dion and Elvis.
Therefore, I view this as a victory for startup-artists as a mean for them to retain ownership of their music, instead of it going to the bottom-less pit known as the Recording Company.
It is great of Slashdot to point out to more media coverage of BSD and its variants.
Of all the Operation Systems it's one of the most undervalued ones. It's quite on par with Solaris in terms of reliability but much lower on maintenance and not related to Sun, which is often associated with proprietary technology.
Not to mention that FreeBSD sports a Linux emulator, meaning there is no problem sharing programs if you multiboot like I do.
Overall, FreeBSD deserves credit for being a mission-critical OS without costing an arm-and-a-leg.

Download links are:
Client and server source code
Server Linux binaries
From personal experience, Interbase is perfect for a tight budget situation where you need to server a medium-size userbase.
