  1. What about theatres ? on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 1

    Here (in France) before a movie begins in a theatre, there are commercials for various products (in general these ones are better than those broadcasted on TV) and some teasers for other movies. Should the people who come late (and so miss the ads) pay more to see the movie ??? :-)

  2. Re:Desktop Sun on Sun Increases Commitment to GNOME · · Score: 2, Informative
    Where are Suns being used as something other than a server? Are there business sectors where Sun workstations are common?

    I work (or more exactly am being rent by) for a company working in the private mobile radio area (selling to corporations or public safety).

    And there I see 200 people develloping on Sun workstations and behind them lie Sun servers. They've been using them with Rational Clearcase (plus debugging tools) for years before Clearcase became fully functional on Linux (seems like only RedHat is officialy supported by Rational, full power since R4.1).

  3. Re:Wipro on Sun Increases Commitment to GNOME · · Score: 1

    Does the GNOME community really want to be associated with this kind of establishment?
    Hey, those people are adults, they're not the little chinese children that sew the Nike shoes : The page you cite (sweatshop [isanet.org] ) says :
    The services of India's highly-skilled, English-speaking software professionals are sought after by major global corporations, and many have become founders or managers of IT companies in the United States. On the other side of the digital divide are the 45 percent of the population who cannot read or write (57 percent of the female population), the 44 percent who survive on less than $1 per day, and those who live in the 370,000 villages that do not have telephone connections. [2]
    I really don't think the first category (the highly skilled one) is made of little geeks which are not even 15 years old.

    I think it's because it acts like an inverted mouse trap : "information", or crap can get out, but sensitive can't get in.
