This is just another example of how censorware
will never work. The problem is that there is
currently no way for censoring software to examine
material in the proper context. Until, someone
creates software which can accurately parse sentences and examine words in the proper context,
it will continue to be very easy to bypass these filters. It is like comparing a packet-filtering firewall to a statefull inpection firewall. The simple filter is only good for certain tasks.
I'm really surprised at the response from the web site that they will not allow here to register her name. I wonder if any of their current members will complain about it. Bad publicity is never good for business.
In today's market, having a shipping product is hardly a prerequisite for going public. There have been plenty of companies with barely more than an idea which have filed for IPOs.
Transmeta does have a good product. We consumers will have to wait until IBM and Sony begin shipping laptops with the Crusoe as Transmeta's business model is not to sell directly
to end users. If IBM and Sony can get quality products out the door, Transmeta's success is almost guaranteed. Of course, with Linus working there, it is guaranteed!:-)
The company was overdue for another round of funding anyway and now that the IPO market seems to be heating up, it makes more sense for them to raise money with an IPO than another round of venture capital.

Maybe Linus would be interested in renaming Linux to Lambada? Can penguins be taught to dance? I think we need a new ./ poll to decide this.
