What we need all users of open source software to do is contact Intel and let them know what you think of their current behaviour. If you run a big department and chose another vendor's products over Intel's because it doesn't work in your operating system, let them know, along with how many units they could have sold you.
There's 95% of the universe ruled out right there, and like intel gives a rats ass about whats left
You obviously missed the part where they are paying this money to IBM, so your point was?
As far as I can see, its not only not cost efective, its not even going to be complete. The project lead himself admits they can only migrate around 80%, theres also a quick gloss over the 12 month pilot extension because of unspecified 'problems'.
So slipping deadlines, increasing costs, less than complete and beset by problems. looks like a typical software project to me and not the poster child for migration some people round here think it is.
hey could probably make more money by applying for a job with Google or Microsoft.'"
Seriously could they? Whats so appealing to MS or google about developers who take their sweet ass time to deliver anything, innovate little and basically just bug fix. I think applying for the job is as far as most debian developers would get. Try Mr Shuttleworth, probably wont pay anywhere near as well but higher probability of success.
While I dont even begin to understand the math it looks a little more murky than blatantly just trying to steal Perelmans credit. No one seems to have found significant error in Perelmans work but also no one seems to understand completely how he actually arrived at his solution. Now I remember from my math class that if you could not show how you arrived at your answer it was treated as a guess and thrown out.
I am not saying Perelman did not solve the conjecture but his approach to publishing his work in a piecemeal and incomplete manner was a poor choice and left him wide open to what has happened (note he does come across as somewhat eccentric in the article). Yau does appear to be filling in gaps though after someone else did all the grunt work for him so while he has completed the work by doing so he has proved that Perelman was in fact correct.
Could not agree more. I have ridden and raced bikes all over Europe for years without concern. A few years ago I made the foolish decision to take my bike on vacation to Florida with me to help recover from an injury. I though the a few km in the heat would do me good. 10 mins on a fairly busy road scared the bejesus out of me. Its like I was invisible on US tarmac or something, drivers storming past at 70-80 kph just centimeters from me, not one made the slightest effort to give me any space. Not an experience I am keen to repeat.
On the FOSS side of things of course, we have merging of designer/developers and users, so the issue is somewhat irrelevant. We can still improve our communications and documentation *a lot* though.
You must be joking. Most companies _have_ to pander to their customers. They dont make money otherwise. Even MS have gone to astonishing lengths to support their customers.
OSS tends to utterly ignore the mainstream user which is why many mainstream users would rather steal a copy of windows than use OSS. Report a bug and be told to fuck off thats intended behaviour/user error, request a feature and be told to fuck off its a stupid request, ask for help and be told to fuck off and read the documentation, point out there is no documentation and be told to just fuck off. Think about that for a few mins and tell me if you can see a problem.
I think the point being made is that the 'many eyes' mantra of many OSS developers can easily be challenged/questioned by running a few automatic checks over the code.

Theo should just shut up and build his own fucking fab and produce chips that can compete with intel/amd and the he can tell us what he thinks.
Why should Dell pay to recycle their competitors products?
so its another slashvertisement is what you are trying to say

How exactly can you lose your privacy by being filmed in a public place?

And in its own bizarre manner /. admits the RIAA has a point.
Google is a classic case of a company with one tool in their box albeit more of a power hammer than a common or garden hammer

Its low quality electricity causing the problems
If he is not already using tooling like this then he probably should not be developing, this is basic QA.
