Microsoft gives thier employees bonuses when they fail to meet deadlines and thier stuff is rushed to the presses. Anybody in the software industry knows that the company (Sierra) would have...
set impossable deadline goals,
cut the staff to help insure that they wouldn't make it,
moved the impossable deadlines into the unrealistic area,
started choosing what features would get cut, and didn't listen to the developers when choosing
further broke the product by removing features that other objects needed
suprised the development team two weeks in advance of a newer, closer, deadline.
released the product against everyone who worked on it's will,
hated the customer reaction
fired all the developers (except two or three, just in case they can help out somewhere else)

On can fairly assume that a port of linux to the PS2 would come with at least a hand full of drivers. It wouldn't take long to write a chunk of code that would watch the interaction that the box would have when it was passed data from a game ROM. I would think that if nothing else, such an inroad could at least lead to a great emulator for linux.
Anyway, I know that the topic of this artical is "would you want it", but seeing as how the topic has degraded into "what would it do", I feel free to bring up a topic I haven't seen listed here yet.
What are the chanced you will see Microsoft port linux to the XBox. It is looking more and more like the battle is down to the two big "corperate whores". No matter what, when the next biggest game boxen comes out, PS3 or XBoxII, the current PS2's and the soon to be XBox consoles will be put on a shelf forever. (Much like my Nintendo64). My point is this. When it's time to put them away, which one (sony with linux or microsoft with ???) whould you be more willing to keep?
Say for some reason you want to pull an Xsession up in the bathroom, wouldn't it be nice to have a quite little PS2 (that you wouldn't be using anymore anayway) to handel all the nasty rendering that your session will need?
I have 6 Sega Dreamcast. One here, one there, another one in the cornor. They all work great as little terminals. I can't wait to upgrade these to PS2's, so that I can get the better resolutions that it will provide me. Start a BitchX client in the bedroom, surf the web in the den, and play quake from the john.
I realize that PS2 will never replace the PC. but were it can serve the same role, let it. Soon, I will be picking up my newest terminals for $40 as the local pawn shop. TEN

Arker is correct. This story is false. Timothy and I are working on a plan to build a mid size Beowulf cluster. It's not the ISP that is asking for the servers back, it is us acting as the company telling ppl to send US the machines. Timothy is a great thinker, and decided if he posted this story, none (or few) of you would call the company and ask about the contract. Also, the extra $499 thing was going to help pay for the switches and stuff that we would need. It was a great idea, but Arker saw through the whole thing.
damn! I hate you arker... foiled again. TEN

He has never had ONE owner complain that the device failed to work. If so, if you can't accept that as proof, your wouldn't accept any proof as proff
Agree. He said that if I can't/will not accept Testimonials as evidence, then there is nothing that i will accept. I beg to differ. A Double Blind study like recommended in the artical would be VERY convincing.

this was a posted right after./ ran a story about IBM sharing BIG Iorn with the public. I ment to put a link to that story in my post. The getting a Z server think was just a joke, but the fact is that getting/leasing/borrowing/stealling one would help secure their stuff.
Sorry to work you up, but it was just a post. It got 8 replys, and made my karma higher.

I admit that I am not terribly familure with seti, but I know that they use huge amounts of collective cpu time via the distribution of processing to remote processors. My comment relates to who decides how much of a performance hit do they want to take to insure accuracy. Do you send sheets of data out twice, and reduce your net performance by half? I don't understand how sending rouge data sheets will "catch" the bad guys, wouldn't the one that get caught just change their IP/User Name and start sending bad data again? I'm afraid that if SETI really wants security, put a bunch IBM Z series boxes straight to the satellites, and let little instances of Linux churn over the data. TEN
I want to conserve space in this discousion unless my 2.5 cents are needed, but
1)Clearcase stores the delta's making the database repositories smaller.
2)Clearcase allows you to configure a project based on the platform version of an object.
3)Clearcase offers "Configuration Managment"
If you are not sure what I mean by configuratoin managment, or have a question about CM Tools, let me know and I'll spell it out. Most of the world doesn't care, but when you have
5,500,000 lines of code and 6 or 7 versions of each object you HAVE to know what CM vs. CVS is about.

I know this goes against the slashdot grain of free open source software, but I use my USparc to host tons of commercial applications that just are not available for linux, commercialy or in open source. All my PC are belong to Linux, but my sparcs live in the world of solaris.
btw, when I load linux, I can't see even a neglagable increase. By the time I've tweaked linux into what solaris does, I've lost any perfomance gains i may have had. TEN
Do you think that you would have changed your mind about SEGA if they had worked harder on an artificially-created hype about thier console? Should Mico$oft get the 10,000 RPM Media Spin engine to push the XBox.
Right, so I think what our friend is trying to say is that the "Ideology" that you speak of, can't/wouldn't support a boycott of anybody. The OS community would be thrilled if Bill Gates and Steve Allen would sign on. We would welcome the resources with open arms. Of course we would never turn or back on them, but still....
