These numbers are paltry compared to the industry giants Intel and AMD (especialy Intel), but they do reflect stability and massive growth since Q1 2002. No, Transmeta is no direct threat to Intel or AMD, but they deserve to be taken seriously nevertheless. The underdog is always forced to innovate, and market hype can swing an extra $2 to $3 million in revenue towards a company like Transmeta. Remember, we all laughed at AMD, too.
As for all of the negative comments, cmon, what do you expect? This is Slashdot afterall, and the creator of Linux works in a rather prominent role at Transmeta. This is exciting and encouraging to us Linux geeks.
I liken the recent rebirth, revelations, and renaissance of trolling on Slashdot to the soon-to-be-classic epic battle between Neo (played by actor Keanu Reeves) and the rogue virus Agent Smith (portrayed by the esteemed actor Hugo Weaving).
In this climactic and feverishly pitched battle, a rejuvenated Agent Smith confronts Neo. Neo (cmdr taco) has increased his power (anti troll filters) exponentially. Agent Smith (troll) has since developed the ability to infect the "shells" of others, a process which he uses to effectively multiply. At the outset of the battle, Agent Smith attempts to first infect Neo and spread into his "system". The troll filters prove amiable, and Neo easily repels this clever initial attack. Undaunted, the troll (Agent Smith) seeks to gain assistance from those in his surrounding environment. With the most excellent and well placed of trollings, Agent Smith captures the hearts and minds of many others, effectively creating an army in his own image (Trollkore, CLIT, You Fail It, IN SOVIET RUSSIA, etc).
This new army of Agent Smiths pour down upon Neo in a glorious wave of absurdity, brutal character attacks, vulgar ASCII imagery, and unprecedented and unusual tales of sexual escapades. The ensuing melee is a remarkable epic of good vs. evil, as the many trolls continue to pour down upon cmdr taco, seeking to defeat him with an avalanche of numbers. The outcome to this bitter rivalry has yet to be seen.
Which is where we find ourselves tonight gentlemen.
How about programming the web server to allow us to read the article. Better yet, how about programming your self to read articles and check links before posting them - good lord that was stupid.
Yea, go ahead and waste a mod point marking this redundant, twit.
The hype surrounding a DVD release of one of the greatest action trilogies of all time is certaingly well deserved (I must have seen each movie 10 times as a kid), but I am still eager to see what Lucas does with part 4. Good or bad, it's going to be kind of like a social/art experiment, like Star Wars Episode I was (which proved that just because an artist was able to create a few masterpieces in his youth, does not mean that his talent will last indefinately - and just because a generation holds a particular work of art in great esteem, replicating it in bad fashion will still drive them away).
I just hope that the wonders of technology can make Harrison Ford still look believable as an action star. "Geriatric Jones" might be a title to consider.
Evolution has long been proven. It can be demonstrated, tested, and replicated. The evidence for evolution is far beyond the theoretical realm. In my opinion, it should be made a law (A natural phenomenon that has been proven to occur invariably whenever certain conditions are met), since thus far it is an irrefutable observation of nature, whom's edicts have lead to the validation of many theories that were based upon it's (evolution's) observations.
Don't be mislead by Creationist mumbo-jumbo. Only listen to real science. If you start believing what Christian "scientists" have to say concerning scientific topics, then you might as well take into consideration the declarations of Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, and Wiccans concerning natural phenomenon.
Because a stable binary release means that it will be taken more seriously by the "every man", and major distributions will be less apprehensive about including it with their distro (binary installs are easier to upgrade and manage in todays apt-get, RPM, ports world of open source operating systems).
A potential Linux user that doesn't have the luxury of a hand-holding-Linux-guru friend to help them install their desired software would view an easy to install binary application as a "big plus".
Solid audio software is the breaking point for many Windows and Macintosh users that mix music. I have a few friends that happen to actually be successful in the music biz (on a very small scale, of course), and they all use Macintosh (one has worked with Puff Daddy before, no shit). A few DJ friends use Windows for simple mixing and burning. All of them show an interest in Linux, but are put off by it's lack of a really good audio application. If this proggie is as good as it's makers are claiming it is, then Linux will have about (let me count....) 11 new users real fast.
This same scenario has to apply to many others out there. My small group of musically talented friends can't be the only ones.
Sounds like a good idea, until you consider the fact that the French will surrender the entire wireless network to the first German hacker that logs on.
I believe that the FSF has already said that there is nothing wrong with not distributing GPL code to users of a server providing GPL software. Or something to that effect.
In caste systems, the wealthiest and most powerful (not neccassarily the most enlightened most integral to society) sit atop the throne. At the bottom lurk those without wealth and political influence.
This analogy doesn't work with software at the current time, when you consider the "poorest" of the operating system citizens weilds incredible influence. I liken the current political atmosphere of software to a popular revolution, not to a long standing judicial tradition.
While I do support the open source movement, perhaps we should stress caution when it comes to the genetic code of viruses. I'm not sure if it is a good idea to have that type of thing floating around the internet.
I am flabbergasted that this story is not plastered in the headlines of every major news outlet. I mean c'mon, the excitement level of such a study, a comparison between LCD and whatever screened projectors! This is big news!
Keep it simple, going DSL will increase the cost and complexity needlessly. Just use the T1 and set up the condos like a standard network: manage your router right, use a good proxy (for the cache), consider going 100bT, and keep an eye on the WAPs.
Sometimes I wish there was the equivalent of Windows Update for Linux
Redhat network works wonders for me. It catalogues all of the software that shipped with Redhat, and lets me know which of my systems requires what errata (updated software). Third party isn't a term that most open source companies recognize. =)
Best part is, I don't have to be on my actual system to check for available updates. I just log in to the RHN and look at the list of my registered systems. This trounces Windows update IMHO.

Review of SuSE 8.2

· Score: 5, Informative
It is not as nice as having an ISO available, but I haven't installed *BSD from a CD in ages, and I hear Suse's FTP install is even easier and more reliable.
As a lifelong Virginian, I never saw this coming. This state's government is usually so in bed with the money hounds, nothing (and I mean nothing) gets done "legistlative-wise" until some big company lobbies for it.
I forgot that AOL has a huge datacenter up North from here. Hmm.....
Associated Press - British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced today in a press conference that he fully supports the RIAA's actions against Iraq's intellectual property rights, much to the contradictory behest of the Labor Party.
Iraqi intelligence officials were quick to issue a response and a rebuttle: "The great infidel Satans have already failed in their crusade to hijack our intellectual property. We shall plunge the burning spear of Allah deep into the imperialist Satan's black hearts."
Slashdot Mirror
So far in 2003, Transmeta has reported a net revenue of $6 million. (these numbers taken from Transmeta press releases)

They better hope that their web server isn't running on a server in a remote Laos village - because here we come!

Suse FTP install
It is not as nice as having an ISO available, but I haven't installed *BSD from a CD in ages, and I hear Suse's FTP install is even easier and more reliable.
I think that this would be an exceptional alternative to using 2 CD game sets, or switching to DVDs.
