I have been looking into an idea like this but I was thinking about reducing language to three letter words. Most languages use about 3,000 words to make usable language. My thought was take the shortest words from every language and reduce the language to the least words needed. French is an interesting language to look at as it uses less than a 1,000 words to be usable. Maybe a basic language with 600 words could be made workable.

I have worked with NT and Windows 2000 since NT started and I have been doing linux since 93 and I can tell you that a good distro with Apache is just as fast as Windows 2000 doing static pages. Apache and PHP beat the crap out of anything ASP can do. Also Windows IIS does not use SMP. If you do dynamic pages it might use SMP but IIS does not. Also IIS can only have 250 concurrent connections. If you have modem users hanging off your IIS server the 251 person gets dropped. Apache will go to 1000. So neither IIS or Apache use SMP. IIS only does well if you are testing on a local lan and you are testing small static files that fit in the cache. So for most people IIS or Apache will do the job. Do you want to pay the Microsoft Tax or not.
BeOS already can read and write to NTFS. I used to use it on BE to read my NT files. There has been a read only version for a long time and the read/write version has been around for 6 months or better and even though it has been beta for a long time I had no problem using it. I guess if you are not a threat you don't get sued. haha
The Amiga system was a shared memory ram based os. When you loaded a program into ram it was never paged out because there was no vm support. Also because it was shared memory you could make pointers to programs in memory and run many copies of the same code without using much memory for each extra copy. The Linux ram disk is slow because it is trying to emulate a file system. Look at the work that sgi is doing with apache and loading htmml pages in memory. Memory is much faster then hard drives but we have to create a completely different core to take advantage. You can have fast and unsafe (shared memory) or slower and safe (vm).
Jobs is just making Apple come out with an updated version of the old Next Cube. The Next machines were out long before Cobalt was even a company. If I were Cobalt I would sit down and shut up. What's next the patent on the line?
Intel is doing what IBM tried to do a few years ago. IBM made a new bus and made it hard for anyone else to use. The industry said goodby and we have cheaper computers to show for it. As soon as rambus chips get cheap we will see rambus used on low end machines. 16 bit wide ram is only to make a cheaper motherboard and why would anyone make three ram slots a standard for high end servers. Intel is making business foot the bill. Buisness doesn't know the difference as they run software from microsoft that takes a 20meg/sec Raid system put 2meg/sec out the network. Maybe someone should tell AMD to talk to Sun and get a real memory subsystem. As for USB why don't we make keyboards and mice and camcorders use ethernet and forget about usb, firewire, fibrechannel, and every other expensive standard. What happened to the good old days when I could by a computer for $100 and it was a new computer.
I build one a few years back with Filemaker Pro. It worked really well and all you need is a mac or a pc to run it. I also am working with PHP and python and I'm sure I could build one that would work with email and web pages for trouble ticket entry. I also am working with Avantgo and wap to create web software that would work with a web phone and a Palm. You could put a modem on a palm III and get your tickets without a computer. Use email to update tickets or use the web. These are very easy things to do. bakey@headgap.com
I have a python script that pulls the titles and urls and when the new server came online my old script quit working . Well it didn't take much to fix it but if you have scripts out there you may want to check them.

I read some article about a mouse that was shown at a worlds fair in the 20-30's time frame. People don't invent they just re-dicover.
