Realistically, at the enterprise level, Linux isnt free. The maintenance/administrative of Linux just becomes costly in my experience. Im sure I am in the minority when saying this, but it has just been my experience that even though I have to continuously do Microsoft refreshes, their software works better ouf of box. OSX is the best option;)

In my understanding, ISPs are able to easily track torrent downloads do to the seeding algorithms. If torrents become more mainstream, people will have more protection in downloading them as there will be more for the governments to regulate.
I use OSX since I never get virii or worms, but they are coming to the mac soon enough. Although, everyday I am using windows less and less and only for Oracle development (OAF/JDEV) because of my job.
I guess the only thing to learn from the blaster worm is to switch to OSX.;)

Energy costs at a company I worked for in SiValley were becoming such a factor that they dropped the use of all CRT monitors and towers in the work place. They switched us all to thinkpads. Now, on a small level this is very inefficient, but from a large perspective, I am assuming the energy cost savings would be enormous. My tower/crt costs me at least $25+ per month at home. I could easily lease a lowlevel laptop for that.

That is amazing that there is that amount of data streaming down the pipelines, however, does this help the driver in the actual race? If so, is there regulation for that? I understand that the data can be later analyzed and then used for tuning, but the data should also be able to recognize if there is an engine error and the car is going to instantly explode.
Hooray for smalltalk. I really miss using that old language, it was so diverse. Im glad to see some of the effects are still trickling into new langauges like C#. Cool site.

What you are talking about are reasons why people are trying to promote RFID. However, in order to track "MIA" laptops you would need to allow big brother to track all RFID tags in productions. Thus, if you went to starbucks with a stolen laptop the RFID scanner would immediately recognize this and you would get arrested. On the other hand, if you didnt steal your laptop anyone can track where you are and where you have been.

It is amazing how.NET and C# are finally starting to migrate over into commercial use. There were ideas in the early 90s by those of us who were smalltalk developers that we wanted to see back then. It isnt until now that C# is finally integrating some of those features for development use.
Maybe this has to do with Paul Allen sponsoring the space flight. He seems to be spending a lot of money these days like most really rich people.. maybe he would be interested in throwing some my way for GroupShares Inc... but then again it is Microsoft money. Aj
Thank you. I have received exactly what I was hoping to get from the slashdot community, and I forgot how much of a factor personal sites can have even if they are 6 years old (some of the pages anyway). I have some excellent suggestions, however, the suggestions saying to "stay away" from Day Trading is because people have not seen the business plan. I guess I just need a synonym for Day Trading besides: momentum trading, swing trading, etc.
As I stated earlier, this website is just serving to create a user base and show an investor that there is something there. Something I did not mention was the investors that I have approached work within my company or are related via family/friends. I have not spoken with strangers about the product until now.
Recently, I have been working a lot with Apple's xgrid. We have been linking about 4 G5s/G4s together and getting impressive results. I don't understand your hardware situation, but if you are a Mac guy try it out.
The thing is, I have not approached any VCs yet. That is why I asked the slashdot community. I was waiting until the Business Plan/Non-D form were complete, and now they are.
First, the website that currently exists is not the business idea. It is the first step in my business plan. VCs have not been exposed to any of the true idea yet. The non-disclosure form was just finished by my attorney yesterday. I agree, the website is poorly designed, but I am just working on getting it running before developing it farther. Second, my about page on artlu.net. A) yes, it is stupid and childish. B) I have not updated it in nearly 4 years. C) If you are judging me by that page, I have nothing to say. I took it offline, but im sure you can google or internet history it. Third, I am working on the privacy policy as well - I don't remember which post mentioned that, so thank you.
Finally, I appreciate all of the constructive comments and the emails I have received of interest. They are definitely leading me to change a few things in the Business plan.
I am an Apple lover, but the G5 is going to start feeling some pressure from the dual core chips. I wonder if the rumor of Apple possibly switching to an Intel Processor could becoming more and more valid every day.
I'll still take a G5 notebook within the next year:).

Clear Channel dropped Howard Stern from my local radio stations. I used to listen every morning while getting ready at home. Maybe we can do live streams of radio from all over the country via this protocol, and I can get through Clear Channel's "indecency measures."

I run two different blogs and it is amazing the response I get between both of them. I recently started a stock market blog and I have gotten an enormous user base within one week. However, you have to be careful about what you say so that you cannot get sued. Thus, I had to have a lawyer draw up a disclaimer when registering to my site.
Will politicians use lawyers to stop these blogs? I know I am very fearful of that.
Well, this was only a matter of time. Most people I know listen to Internet Radio more then their own libraries anymore especially on iTunes. Does this mean that Sirius is going to get regulated too because of broadcasting music at such a high quality? What about the people in the 80s/90s who listened to regular radio and recorded songs to tape?
Second, I was always a subtle Howard Stern fan, but now with what is going on with clear channel, his broadcasts are more entertaining then just the stupid fart jokes. He really is going through a struggle, and the FCC/RIAA are seeing great times to strike out with the election.
This is a great use of how powerful the Internet can become. These guys are going to get a ton of traffic and have a viable site now because of slashdot. Wow. Anyway, I also tried to start a dotcom this week - GroupShares.com - and it had a very successful first week. About 50 registered users and some ad money from adsense - enough to Incorporate in FL anyway. Goes to show that if you do enough work, maybe anyone can get a dotcom off the ground.
Well, too bad a lot of people didnt have the ability to see the future, but lets not turn this into a bush debate, as the comments might get out of hand;).
It is those whose votes would get "changed" if e-voting was real. *cough*Bush*cough*.
Im really trying to get a website off the ground. Everything is free which is why I ask the slashdot community to check it out. It deals with stocks/day trading. GroupShares.com if you are interested.
Big Pharmas tend to develop hundreds of drugs per year. However, any drug that has a cost of production greater then 10% of its total cost is usually squashed due to the market. If those drugs were "given" in a "open source" manner, maybe some of those drugs would make it farther to help people. Who knows what drugs could have been developed and then squashed because it wouldnt make money?
Anyway, im trying to get a new website off the ground right now. If you are into the stock market or day trading then please check it out at GroupShares.com
