I know slashdot is known for its trendsetting use of the English language, but adding new meanings for existing words en passant is not something Mr. Katz's literary reputation gives him license to do.
Away, hanger-on! And by the way, Timothy, stop putting "Oh My" in your story titles. It's such a feeble way to spruce up a story.
Funny, I don't see myself as a troll, but who can resist? Frankly the examples Katz cites are much less opaque and far fetched than those Katz frequently writes. And much less rambling. This is just a lame attempt at a smokescreen to draw attention away from JonKatz's own "Cyber-Jabberwocky".
Katz reads book
Katz genuinely feels like it's Cyber-Jabberwocky
Katz gets sinking feeling that this is how his work is perceived
Katz pans book to try to distance himself.
The observant reader may speculate that I, the writer of this, may have the same hangup. Could be!
Of course it doesn't. Vmware does all these things today. Not a year from now, or two years. Not just on linux. Buy a copy of vmware. They deserve your dollars, and you deserve their fabulous piece of software.
There's obviously a faction within SDMI that doesn't want this thing to fly. (I say this because I'm assuming Salon's 'anonymous' tipster must have been someone within the working group.)"
RealNetworks has a fabulous UNIX development story. We always need interns to do software development and QA. mail us!
BTW: RealPlayer for Unix is available today for the following platforms: Linux i386/PPC/Alpha, Solaris, Irix and AIX, and RealServer is available for Linux/i386, Solaris, Freebsd, Irix, HPUX, and AIX. RealProducer is available for Linux/i386. I know all these projects could use the help of good interns. download them here.

Well said. I would rather live a hundred celibate lives than reach the depths of self- and external degradation to which the original author has sunk.
I hope his wife is at peace with being handmaid, sperm repository, and baby factory. I am so revolted by the number of assenting responses to this essay, (to paraphrase woody allen "and I'm complimenting you by considering it an essay") that I once again resolve to never read Slashdot again.

Unfortunately they don't have quite enough bandwidth for all those streams, so you may get disconnected :(
Does it
Support printers?
Support audio devices?
Support video modes other than text?
Provide graphical configuration?
Support accelerated display via DGA?
Support floppy drives?
Support ip through the host's adaptor?
Support serial ports
Support fullscreen mode.

And no, I don't work for them
You know what happens when you assume?
And the code review process would look like what exactly?

RealPlayer _does_ exist for Linux/PPC!
RealPlayer 7 is now a stable release (gold). Platforms include Linux/i386, Solaris, Linux/PPC, ultralinux, Linux/alpha, irix, and aix.
DooD :// Izn't their a RPM available 2? -- /\/\00G00
RealMedia sounds great, is 1/3 the bitrate, and doesn't pause. 16Kbps voice or 24 Kbps music RealMedia will blow 24Kbps MP3 away.
