I'm not a developer, but I sort of understand the BSD world.
OpenBSD - led by Theo (whom apparently has a lot of enemies) is a BSD based distribution with the core focus being security
FreeBSD - A BSD distribution based on making it really fast
NetBSD - A BSD distribution based on optimizing Network Configurations
[Please correct any of that so I personally can understand the flavors of BSD better]
Okay why don't the individuals from all three get together and create AllBSD?
I mean take the best parts and make a speedy secure network optimized distro?
I mean what is the point of open source if its not about individuals working together to make the optimum software based on peer review? Is this for the glory of one individual distro? That seems to go against the very mindset of opensource. I understand each distro brings something different to the table, but why not have a centralized distro that everyone contributes to AND have your special spinoff version. The main distro could be licensed out(making $) which then the proceeds could be divided equally among the other distros, and they can make extra money hawking shirts/cds dontations etc.
The very instance one individual(distro) thinks it's better than the cause itself is when things began to decay. Linux is different because they don't squabble (SCO doesn't count they aren't human but monsters grown in a M$ petri dish) and each one provides its own niche in the linux market. BSD is its own tiny market, and consequently can't afford that luxury...yet. A unification for the cause of BSD would instantly put BSD as a forefront as a major OS alternative, and definitely has a lot going for it due to OSX showing that an OS derrived from BSD can be successful.
Like I said I'm not a developer, but I really believe that a BSD deserves a chance to move away from the individual bickering and crying I see currently going on.
Please feel free to reply and shed some light on this situation so I can better understand.
Looks like a really expensive playscape from Burger King. Now the light box code area looks kind of cool, but I think laser tag is vastly superior to this "vitual game" IMHO.
When we get Battle Royale then you've got my attention.
They don't tell you you're going to be across the street from a crack house.
Yeah but if you get 3 more crack houses you can then upgrade to a bordello, and that's where the money is...
I'd be worried. What if someone hacks your house? Flipping Light Switches, Raising the Temperature, Playing Slayer, Having your oven/fridge and front doors open and close erraticly.
Plus hacking the home security cam so we can all watch it live...
Live.com (as it appears to me) is just an attempt at copying everything that is popular on the web. A Favorites Section ala del.icio.us (yahoo), Personalized Simple Desktop that the user can Customize (this has been around, but google made it simple) Mail / IM integration (Google/Yahoo feature)
I don't see anything as new except for the "Security Center" which obviously will be some antispyware/malware/virus thing, however I don't necessarily consider MS the authorities on security but more like the person who left the window unlocked in the first place.
The hook for Microsoft is obviously vista. This portal thing is going to communicate directly with every user (Similar to Google Desktop). Vista will also do everything to guide the user into using that site as an extension of the O.S. The new IE will make sure of that. Makes sense that Microsoft Office Online will probably be integrated somehow into this system as well.
I do think that this is a dramatic improvement for MS, and they are catching up quickly; but they don't want to take the lead. They like exactly where they are.
FTFA:
One such service is a click-per-call capability that will let users connect to businesses via Web-based calls by clicking on MSN search links. Sources tell BusinessWeek Online that the capability will be unveiled the week of Mar. 13.
Another example of following google's lead.
This really a great example of a Drafting Marketing Strategy. It's been no secret that MS lets others innovate, and quietly absorbs all of their breakthroughs and then corners the market with their massive resources. Firefox being another in a long list of victims from this strategy.
Simply allow people to transfer files from mp3 player to mp3 player
That just requires a little engineering and a little software. Especially with usb 2.0.
The RIAA and music industry would flip, but you'd outsell the ipod. Make a decent price point don't make it look like crap, a relatively easy to use interface, and you have a goldmine.
Make a commercial
Kid 1 : "Hey what are you listening too?" Kid 2 : "The ________" Kid 1 : Cool....Hook Me Up [the tag line for the commercial] Kid 2 : "Flips out usb connector - joins the players hits TRANSFER... hands kid 1 his player back Kid 1: Listening to music - "Cool"
I mean come on I don't think the Swiss Gov't is going to pick a company that doesn't know what they are doing.
Redhat is a great example of how a linux company can be successful. Novell is backed by IBM, and has partnerships all over the place like Redhat. I think Novell is going to surprise a lot of people.
Here's my guess as to what "3d Textile Structures" means
2d Textile Structures is in regards to the process of weaving fibers together that being the most common way to create a textile.
I think the Special 3d way is by making actual fiber like cell structures on a microscopic level and binding those together. Think tempurpedic memory foam etc.
That's just my guess can anyone please shed a little more light on this?

A live mule doesn't make that alarming buzzing noise to alert your enemies of your exact location. It's a feature!
Cool my car is not only a piece of crap, but it can run on crap too?!
FTA:
"In a separate experiment revealing another unusual business potential for cow dung, another group of researchers has successfully extracted an aromatic ingredient of vanilla from cattle dung...The extracted ingredient, vanillin, can be used as fragrance in shampoo and candles"
Great I can't wait till I can buy me a Bottle of Selsun Poo or a 1/2 gallon of Poo Bell Vanillin Ice Cream or even better crap candles!...seriously though...as amazing as all of this is...can this crap run linux?
I think "Always On" can be positive, but in retrospect to the position on call. For support, data entry and sales I think that is a great idea. For development...not so good. For example:
Sales Person A wants to work for a couple hours so they log into the corporate servers at home and answer a few emails. The duration of their login, and what "work" is done is documented to prevent abuse etc, and they are credited with the work (hours, commission etc.). Say they want to go to an early movie...they can check out at anytime, and when one person checks out a text message is sent to all offline employees notifying them of a slot available for work. Only X amount of slots are allotted at any given time.
Now of course I just thought of that off the top of my head, but I think there is legitimate promise to a system like that.
Maybe an open source project would be a great place to test a system like that?
I agree Katamari is amazing, but the one thing that I was hoping to see a glimpse of was Starcraft Ghost.
I never could get into Halo. It was just like all the other FPS since GoldenEye [now THAT was a fun FPS console game]
SC Ghost will be the reason I buy a next-gen console. It's due 2Q-2006. I think they are going to coordinate the release with PS3, but we will have to see.
The Screenshots, clips, etc. are extremely impressive. Blizzard cares about making kickass prodcuts, and I think they are going to show everyone what a real FPS should be. RTS and MMPORPG are already catagories they OWN I don't see why they won't dominate the FPS genre as well.
Plus who they hell doesn't want to blow up a firebat and drive a seige tank?
Slashdot Mirror
It's a Vista feature!...
Thanks for filling me in on this. I now understand a little bit of what is going on. I appreciate you taking the time to explain everything so well.

Google should just start "Suegle" so we all can set up our own personal lawsuits against google.
Features include:
-the ability to blog about the lawsuit and how much of google's money we are trying to get.
-RSS feeds of the latest filings & verdicts
-Lawyers oncall via GTalk
feel free to add any I'm missing
I use mine to roast marshmallows...

Phase 1:Create Browser
Phase 2:Ink Deal with Google?
Phase 3:Profit!
little known fact:While God is credited with creating the heavens and the earth, Chuck Norris beat him to it.
You can beat the Ipod head to head.

That just requires a little engineering and a little software. Especially with usb 2.0.

Just a thought.
I'm not scared I'm an official Ninja
Now a Giant Ninja Robot...that's something I'd be scared of.
Competition => Innovation
Innovation => Faster/Better Chips
Faster/Better Chips => Faster/Better Comps
Faster/Better Comps => Giant Robots
And I for one want a giant robot.
I know movies these days suck...I am working on it...give me some time say about 10 years.
Novell seems to be making deals with SuSE.
Swiss Government
Novell is leading linux in china
I mean come on I don't think the Swiss Gov't is going to pick a company that doesn't know what they are doing.
Redhat is a great example of how a linux company can be successful. Novell is backed by IBM, and has partnerships all over the place like Redhat. I think Novell is going to surprise a lot of people.
Hey even their old CEO is now the CEO of Google. They have too many ties to too many power players for them not to be a success.

I am quite familiar with "market segmentation" [I started out in the software industry in marketing]
However...what I am not familiar with is releasing 6 different variants of security breaches and stability issues.

I never could get into Halo. It was just like all the other FPS since GoldenEye [now THAT was a fun FPS console game]
