  1. Finally... on The Amazing Integrated Microprocessor · · Score: 1

    A viable solution for 'network appliances'. The crusoe looks poised to be the cpu for all those 'e-appliances' you hear about, but hell, 1ghz? ill take that over the crusoe any day. Im sure there could be other applications for something like this as well, such as onboard computers for automobiles, mobile 'web access' terminals on planes, etc etc. Interesting..... BTW, since im too lazy to check the site, has transmetta produced any real usable hw yet for the general consumer? I for one would be interested in building a little mp3 player to go into my stereo rack.

    Well sir, obviously you didnt read my post about the cuecat :). Your saying exactly what I said. Bitching wont help, we need to hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook.

  6. This is getting out of control on One Click Patent News · · Score: 4

    I think its time for some major action on the part of the consumer. If the gov't doesnt take away our rights, the corporations will. Granted, we'll have free speech...but first you'll have to download the and pay for the program to write with, pay the access costs to upload, bypass all the ad banners and EULA's , and then face corporate censorship if they dont like what you have to say. People, we need to rally up and start writing letters to the different branches of our govt, most importantly congress. The patent office needs a major overhaul, and the supreme court needs to make some major decisions as far as copywrites are concerned. Plus, we need some sort of tort reform so these people cant rake innocent developers through the coals because they create soemthing neat. Enginuity is now a 4 letter word in the corporate mindset. They want to own everything. Im convinced the government wont be the ones limiting our freedoms, it'll be corporate america

    using actuall satellites? I know for a fact that the HAM radio community has pulled together and gotten their own satellite put into orbit. How about an Open Source satellite system?. It would free us from commercial and governmental regulations. There is enough money out there , with all the dot com'mers and such poppin up...to do something like this. And with contributions from commercial organizations, the HW can be acquired. Its a real possibility...

  9. How many dbases... on SAP DB Database To Be GPLed? · · Score: 1

    do we need open sourced? We have mySql, which has a large market share, we have mSql, postgresSQL, etc. etc. This is just another thing to pop on and bog down your server. Granted, it is a good thing, however we need to 'embrace and extend' a reliable open source database and take it to the full highest level we can....thus creating good competition for the likes of MSSQL and Oracle. Personally, I prefer MySQL , just for the great integration between it and PHP. You run into lots of wierd coding problems when your developing web->dbase gateways, and flooding the market with more dbases wont help the situation. anybody who has had to use a dbase gateway to support legacy systems knows what i mean.

  10. Does it matter? on Computer Or Docking Station? · · Score: 1

    Im going to play the devils advocate for once....how big is the market share of Laptop using linux users out there? And for the life of me I wouldnt see why you'ld run 2000 on a laptop. But thats besides the point. Normally most laptops are pretty proprietary, and third party docking stations, hell, even OEM docking stations have caused problems. With all the compatibility problems you have with laptops anyway, should we be concerned that a docking station doesnt support linux, which is a small user-base anyway? just gotta wonder.

  16. Re:I dont doubt it... on Hawking On Earth's Lifespan · · Score: 1

    Yes sir and history repeats itself. Remember, the people of germany thought hitler was a great guy. Same thing is going on now. According to most polls (if you believe them...btw, who is running the polls anyway?) our leaders in government cant do any wrong. Hitler led his people to disaster and our leaders are doing the same. And btw, when the PRC has their hands in every government around the world, and socialism is popular opinion and God is but a fleeting word from our vocabulary.....WWII will look like a walk in the part. Open up your eyes sir. I take it that you are either from that generation or at least somewhat my senior. The stakes are alot higher than just Europe now. And I can hear the laughs now, I can hear them snickering behind their monitors ('hehehe...little conspiracy freak, go back in your bunker'). But arent we getting closer to a one world government already? With the UN saying they will no longer respect soverignty , and the call for 'global governance'. And yes sir, I am complaining aby my freedoms being destroyed. We are in the now. We havent learned from our mistakes and like I said, history repeats itself. This time, its not just the jewish people being trampled on, its any god fearing, or just any moral person out there who is at risk

Everybody is reporting on it, but what are we doing about it? Who is starting the letter writing campaings, who is starting the boycotts. wheres the flyers. Everybody wants to get on their little hind legs and bitch, but whos doing anything about it? uh huh... keep making excuses. if we stand idly by our freedoms will be gone before we know it. even though its in the 'mainstream' media, doesnt mean anybodys doing anything about it
