You don't think it's significant to mention that the world's newest supercomputer will be running Linux OS? Check it out on IBM's pages or check it out here. I can't believe this information was not mentioned on the front page. This is _very_ significant VICTORY for the open source world!
Yeah! Read this!. It's a story from news.com. Frankly, quite amazing! The world's fastest computer will run Linux! I see it as a praise for open source developers! LINUX DOMINATED THE WORLD!
One machine, ASCI Purple for nuclear weapons research, will be three times faster than the world's current top-ranked supercomputer, NEC's Earth Simulator, which has been clocked at 35 trillion calculations per second, or "teraflops." The other machine, the Linux-powered Blue Gene/L for civilian research, will be 10 times faster than Earth Simulator, with a speed of 360 teraflops, according to IBM
Impressive numbers. I suggest you go take a look at that hardware that runs the Earth Simulator (#1 on the top 500 list). That flash movie is impressive... But don't forget that you got a helluva lot faster CPU inside your head - your brains beat all that expensive hardware all the way.

"While I haven't seen any signs Microsoft is going to dominate the industry here in the States.."
Well, did you see any signs when Microsoft started a browser war against the de facto standard Netscape browser back in the old days? I mean, who would have believed back then that Microsoft would be able to beat Netscape in browser war? ----
Yes, the petition seemed to work and that's really great! But it's not over yet.. We - I'm talking about Linux & *BSD users & Mac users - should join our forces and start yet another petition, but this time WE WANT SOURCE CODE OF THE DRIVERS! Everyone would benefit!
..use text based browsers like Lynx or Links. They may seem ackward at first, but you'll get used to them and then you don't want to live without one.
I could imagine you need browser to find information about something - text based browsers are more than sufficient for that task. Besides it's a pleasure to read clear console text (with custom font set, of course:).
Of course it's nice to look at pictures of pretty girls once in a while - I do that too, but for that purpose mozilla / konqueror is more than good enough. The point is - ascii text browsers are the best if you are surfing to get some pure information about something.
Yeah! Let's buy it to show our support!..It's just too bad our support will not show anywhere.. Linux version is packed in the same box with Windows version - so there is no way for them to know whether it was a Linux or a Windows user who actually bought that game.
Debian has clearly pointed out that it will start using HURD kernel in the future. That's why! Linux business has no business in Debian business. At least not in the future. If you wanna support Linux, stay away from Debian. Gentoo is the best distro anyway.
That's not the way it works pal. You seem to have very conservative thoughts. College people are easy to find, every Joe Average can get a college diploma if he really wants. Colleges/Universities are full of average skilled IT people, lamers to tell you the truth. However, persons who have hacker's mindset are rare and they get hired, whether or not they have college diploma. Truly skilled people are HARD TO FIND! If you are truly skilled, it's not the job interviewer who asks 'what can you offer us', it is you who can ask 'what can you offer me? you gotta assure me pretty damn well that this is the job I want.'. Then it's pretty easy living.

MPlayer can use AAlib. You can watch DivX movies on your ASCII-text terminal. It's really cool!
Yeah! Excellent point! So, FSF's frontman RMS should actually call all GNU programs as BIOS/GNU/ application x. ;)

Sure, I do. I'm a man who takes sexual pleasure of collecting data. That's why I love my PDA.

Any other ideas?

Heh! That was the best one for a long time!

Here's CNN article! Will you believe that one?

;) Hopefully not.
A cross platform OS (like Linux) would probably be too difficult to get to perform the way they need it to.
Too difficult? Oh really? Have you heard the NEWS? IBM's Blue Gene/L WILL run Linux!

can you port it to linux
Actually, BLUE GENE/L (the faster one) will run Linux!

The latter translations are closer to the original thought of 'hitting the floor / stairs
Yeah, I'm from Finland, I can assure you you're right about that.
It is a really small device and at first I wondered if it's too small to be usable for serious work.
..But then I remembered Nokia Communicator and I realized that even small devices can be very powerful tools.
