IBM makes sense as a buyer. They can demonstrate the power of their mainframes and at the same time all the current and future software on sourceforge will be tested on IBM mainframe platform leading to a higher compatibility and easier acceptance of Linux for mainframe.
Why don't they mention C++ and Java only. Why not perl. It seems like that is the right tool for the job. YOu can always create libraries using C if there is a worry about speed.
My impression is that Google never considered perl or python anything serious for programming.
I think, if you are one of the companies in the patent pool of MPEG-4, you won't be paying any royalties for using MPEG-4 in any way.
That's why there have been lots of battles between companies and institutes to get their technology excepted to MPEG-4. The process is lengthy (3-4 years) and requires meetings all over the world every three months. For each small part of MPEG-4 multiple companies compete in terms of the performance of their technologies (speed, efficiency, visually better, etc.). I saw people going crazy and verbally fighting (I guess they are afraid of losing their jobs) during the meetings.
How the patent revenue is distributed I am not sure?
I think you are wrong and mistaken.
Cleartype on CRT monitors looks really nice, much nicer than antialiasing. I am comparing winXP box at home to win2000 box at work.
Cleartype makes a huge difference on LCD on my labtop, but it makes also enough difference on CRT's.
I have heard google managers say that they are trying to get hardware that is as integrated as possible since this increases the stability for them. In their case NIC is integrated at the minimum. having thousands of linux computers, you want them as failsafe as possible.
To connect this to the topic at hand, Dell and others might be interested in nvidia boards since they won't get as many tech support calls as before.
Askjeeves did a clever move and bought Teoma. They wanted to buy Google too several years ago in their glory days, but waren't successful. So they bought directhit back then. Now with Teoma they have real competition for google. They probably try to licence the technology or create internal search engines for sites.
The point is, Altavista should have done this first. They are out of this game unfortunately.
Nautilus is a nice software that should make linux users proud. I know it is not finished, but it is creative and it is extremely well thought out in terms of usability. Again it is missing a lot of features... Too bad Eazel is out of business.
It is all part of AOL's expansion plans to Linux. They need a embedded browser (mozilla), embedded player for streaming media (Real player probably), and an embedded media player (winamp).
I downloaded the alpha. It worked fine for a while. Then I closed it and tried mp3.com to see if it works fine. Now it dowan't start up anymore, it gives an error message...
I like mosuse gestures, especially being able to go back with a small effort.
Now, How good is mozillas mouse gesture support if I wait two seconds to go back in history and load the cached page. This applies to galeon too. using mouse gestures needs some responsiveness. Otherwise I can click "Back" button too.
Opera on the other hand is instantenous to browse "Back" and actually makes a perfect fit for mouse gestures.
Here is an idea how this model might work:
Say you charge 5-10$ each user to ise the service and download stuff. Now how about if you create a rewards program. Here is the explanation.
- If you share many songs and if people download your songs, you get a discount from your monthly fee depending on the bandwidth you contributed. Rewards can depend on the number of songs, quality, diversity, etc. If you are a good community member, you end up using the service for free. This should attract students at dormitories since they don't pay for bandwidth anyway.
I aggree.
Invading Afganistan is not going to stop terrorists, or terrorism. it won't even kill a single terrorist, but bunch of locals including people protecting their country. Terrorists are smart enough to know when and where to escape.
Ok. Invading a country make some americans feel good, killing some innocent people there would feel as a revenge and justified as it was in Iraq and Serbia.
USA has been financing many terrorists in the past and closing their eyes to all the terrorist attacks in the rest of the world. Now that it hot US soil, it somehow made a different effect. If Americans and american media pay little attention to terrorist attacks in the rest of the world and only report if there are Americans dead, how would you expect the rest of the world to care.
The only way for US to prove that it is honest is to pass a law preventing the government to fund any terrorist organization in the future.
US should fight with terorists using economical and cultural powers, not Armies. As somebody else mentioned, the foreign policy should also change. It should ecome a more friendly and just policy.
This explains the recent news that the founder of SUSE has stepped out of the company. Usually investors offer their help to suggest executives in the company and companies usually follow (!) these suggestions.

Hotmail Hacked

You don't need to be a hacker to read your girl/boyfriends hotmail email. 99% of the time you can guess the answer of the secret question and get access to the account. I have seen people doing it all the time.
Somebody mentioned it in the forum. I never thought of it and it actually makes sense. If a server version of OS X is released for intel computers, it will become easily popular. Mainly because of the UI of OSX. Even system admins like to have a easy to use interface and apple proves that they can deliver it. That is mainly the reason of increasing NT/2000 server sales. Not because they are more stable or more secure. They are easier to setup and administer for inexperienced system admins (who are the majority).
Pretty easy:
- Install Slashcode on dot2.kde.org. It is a good name since kde is in its 2.x version.
- keep dot.kde.org running as it is but don't post any new stories, and doesn't allow any new posts either. All the links to it will be kept.
- Post new stories to dot2.kde.org

As far as I know, many airline/airport software is already written for unix.
My friend was an intern in a company about 3-4 years back and they were writing C programs for some kind of unix. The company name was a strange one so I don't remember it. I didn't ask what the unix version was either. So sorry about the undetailed post.

This is also a good way to get a job at Google. They pay a lot of money.
