What I want to know is whay didn't they just fire him, previous to the neccessity of pressing criminal charges.
Seems like a rather drastic punishment. If they had repeatedly warned him as the case, although not the physical or electronic evidence exhbits seems to suggest (from what I was able to discern), they should have simply terminated his employment and thereby solved thier suggested security problem.
I'd love to know what intel's damages are too.. sounds to me like they are trying to bill Mr. Schwartz for the case they trumped up against him..
Right now, I could really use a PDA for my new job, and probably not the job you would think. See, I'm a building inspector for a major entertainment arena. My job is to walk around and figure out what isn't right, write it down on a clip board and then enter the data in a spread sheet.
Now, all in all, I'm pretty cool with walking aroung a huge facility (30+ acres!) and finding whats wrong, even though it's not the tech jobn of my dreams. However, I _hate_ to do data entry.
With almost any pda, linux based or not, I could make my job easier and more effiecent by half. And I will.. as soon as I get and extra 125$ for a Handspring.
Maybe it'll give me a reason to get cellular service as well.. anybody have comments about handsprings cellular/wireless internet components?
You should hardly be able to tell at all that it runs linux from a (l)user end. If the device is correctly engineered, there isn't a reason to even advertise the thing as a linux device, except for to the developers. I hate to say this, but advertising a linux only PDA is going to scare a number of users away. If a company wants to attract main stream traffic (and thereby bring linux closer to the main stream), it must be seamlessly integrated into both the windows and linux worlds.
Plus, the latest Zaurus is supposed to release in the usa in early 2002, and it's full color, linux based and has a whopping 206mhz strongarm proccesor.. and although many of you may not be big java fans, I am, and this suckers got a nice JVM built onto it, making aplication development not too difficult.
nobodies even proven that we can make a manned moon mission in the past how many years?
Perhaps the focus should be on more workable goals at this point?

Part of the open source idea is that you do it yourself, or within a collective of like minded indviduals who share information freely..
What are you doing to further that?
