Interest - when a distributor buys a pack of cards off you, you have some cash from them and bank it. Sometime later you have to honour the face value of the card when a retailer contacts you. In between you get some interest.
Wastage - think of all the small change lost down the back of the sofa etc. Think of broken cards etc. When you make the tokens and get paid for them, if they aren't cashed in then you get to keep the cover price!
Both of these seem like small amounts but trust me, they will add up. Pretty good proposition I reckon:) Governments should license any attempts at printing currency like this, to prevent abuse.
And tonight I'll be hacking in some more efficient HWR, that is if someone else doesn't get there first!
I've had an agenda for weeks and I can't remember the last time I had so much fun with a geeky gadget.
The thrill is you can build your own distribution from source. You can get in there and contribute. Can't imagine building SuSE or RedHat from scratch now can you?:)
Yep, just try it on a large intranet where you have a few terabytes online via automounters.
Then it really hurts. First time I installed it
on my work machine it sucked so much local disk
overnight trying to index the intranet, that it
locked up the machine. When I killed off the indexer daemon and the search daemon it was fine.
A more important point would be that plex86 is
open source whereas vmware is proprietary.
Ultimately there is no reason why plex86 can't be
as stable as any other product. Plus it will be
more flexible than the alternatives. It has
already come a long way in a short time.
There are stacks of things you can't do with
vmware, if you are a user with one of these
interests you'd be better off looking into
plex86. The chances are, if there is a cool
feature it will find its way into plex86.
Agreed, this has got to be a big win for Mandrakesoft. bochs is a truly useful tool and a credible technical achievement. Plex86 will go to do more, and by being associated with it, Mandrakesoft will gain enormously.
I think Plex86 has potential to be in the top 5 Linux apps, along with X, gcc, the WM of your choice and Netscape<duck>!</duck>

I think the latest way of making money from OS s/w must be:
- post thinly disguised flamebait on your discussion based news site
- wait for slashdot to notice
- watch the banner hits stack up
Maybe do this at the end of every month where you haven't quite reached your targets for ad revenue.Agreed, this has got to be a big win for Mandrakesoft. bochs is a truly useful tool and a credible technical achievement.
