Awesome! As a true believer in Open Source, I'm glad IBM is going down this path. Up to now, I wasn't really sure what I would want to do with my CS degree. Various IBM managers have contacted me regarding summer internships, and with this new advancement, I'm pretty confident I'll be working at IBM this summer.
It's amazing how well IBM has been transforming itself from the universally-recognized Bad Guy(tm) to a geek's best friend;) Back in the day, IBM was the Evil Empire of the computer world.
If IBM was able to turn around from the "Bad Guy(tm)" to a geek's best friend, I think there is a possibility that many years from now, today's Evil Empire, Microsoft, might become a geek's best friend while, oh, let's say Google became the new "Bad Guy(tm)
If slashdot is still going to be around 32,000 years from now, I guess I don't want to live forever.
Historians have agreed that the popular nerd site "Slashdot.org" single handedly caused the stagnation of human civilization ever since it launched close to the beginning of the internet...

Frankly, I can't see a major online content vendor not delivering video in the future. Napster and iTunes and all better be prepared to enter the movie market once the technology is ready (bandwith).
but the company said its Windows-only numbers are more accurate because new configurations in Apple Computer's Safari browser inadvertently skewed results.
I'm speechless. We (linux/mac users) don't use Windows, so our traffic doesn't count?

think about the time saved if all cars began moving as soon as the light turned green (instead of waiting for each car in front of another).
Having sat through many stoplights, I have often contemplated this situation and solutions for it. I know exactly what you mean. It's even more ridiculous when you can't actually start moving forward until after the light has turned red again.

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Nov. 08, 2004 -- Novell today announced an agreement with Microsoft to settle potential antitrust litigation related to Novell's NetWare operating system in exchange for $536 million in cash. Novell also announced that by the end of this week it will file an antitrust suit against Microsoft in the United States District Court in Utah seeking unspecified damages in connection with alleged harm to Novell's WordPerfect application software business in the mid-1990s.
Under terms of the settlement, in exchange for the cash payment, Novell has agreed to a general release of claims that it has as of the date of the agreement, with certain exclusions that include patent claims and claims associated with Novell's WordPerfect business. The agreement also includes a release by Microsoft of claims that would have been compulsory counterclaims to the NetWare claims asserted by Novell. Finally, Novell has agreed to withdraw its intervention in the European Commission's case with Microsoft.
"We are pleased that we have been able to resolve a portion of our pending legal issues with Microsoft," said Joseph A. LaSala, Jr., Novell's senior vice president and general counsel. "This is a significant settlement, particularly since we were able to achieve our objectives without filing expensive litigation. While we have agreed to withdraw from the EU case, we think our involvement there has been useful, as it has assisted the European proceedings and facilitated a favorable settlement with Microsoft. With the EU case now on appeal, we are comfortable with our decision to withdraw from the proceeding. There is simply not much left for us to do.
"We regret that we cannot make a similar announcement regarding our antitrust claims associated with the WordPerfect business. We have had extensive discussions with Microsoft to resolve our differences, but despite our best efforts, we were unable to agree on acceptable terms. We intend to pursue our claims aggressively toward a goal of recovering fair and considerable value for the harm caused to Novell's business," LaSala said.
The WordPerfect suit that Novell will file seeks unspecified damages arising from Microsoft's efforts to eliminate competition in the office productivity applications market during the time that Novell owned the WordPerfect word-processing application and the Quattro Pro spreadsheet application. The suit is based in part on facts proved by the United States Government in its successful antitrust case against Microsoft. In that suit, Microsoft was found to have unlawfully maintained a monopoly in the market for personal computer operating systems by eliminating competition in related markets.

This press release includes statements that are not historical in nature and that may be characterized as "forward-looking statements," including those related to future financial and operating results, benefits and synergies of the company's brands and strategies, future opportunities and the growth of the market for open source solutions. You should be aware that Novell's actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations of Novell management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, Novell's ability to integrate acquired operations and employees, Novell's success in executing its Linux strategies, Novell's ability to deliver on its one Net vision of the Internet, Novell's ability to take a competitive position in the Linux industry, business conditions and the general economy, market opportunities, potential new business strategies, competitive factors, sales and marketing execution, shifts in technologies or market demand and the other factors described in Novell's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2004. Novell disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this press release.
I don't think I know of a single person who keeps their virus definitions up to date (most of my friends use Linux, the rest aren't very computer-literate). Does anyone really think people will sit download virus updates for their frieking cell phone?
Mozilla is slow and apparently not full of holes... Firebird uses the Gecko rendering core from Mozilla so I count that as a Mozilla
Firefox > Firebird
It's not even called Firebird anymore. You should really give some newer builds a try, like the Firefox 1.0 Preview Release.
Firefox != Mozilla
Firefox is much faster than Mozilla, don't bitch about speed if you choose to try the bloated version only and opted to skip the lightweight, streamlined product.
Thunderbird : Mozilla Mail:: Firefox : Mozilla Browser
And just in case you need a superior email client, give Thunderbird a try.

BINGO!: "Gcal is a program for calculating and printing calendar" from none other than GNU!
I was hoping it would be a GNOME/GTK Calendar, but whatever...

I'm surprised nobody (at my threshold?) has mentioned Rooster Teeth Productions' The Strangerhood, an online series done using The Sims 2.
Personally, however, I prefer their Red vs. Blue, a series done using Halo, and more recently Halo 2.

So I guess since ./ couldn't handle the past, and is failing miserably with the present, it will now resort to fortune-telling?
