This also means that it's the 10th anniversary of my first major investment: Putting a small wad of money in a tech-heavy mutual fund. Reader, it is I who precipitated the dot-com collapse, by my first foray into the market. Sorry about that.
Novell's basically had $1B cash for over a decade now, and through several acquisitions (SUSE, Ximian, Platespin, others).
I think $1B for the rest of the company is a low bid. Again, it's worth more in pieces, which I would guess would be the primary interest of the hedge fund. They're not delivering much shareholder value with a bid $1 above the current trading price--the stock has fluctuated that much in the past few months. The letter implies they intend to grow the company, but that wouldn't provide additional shareholder value if the company is privately held, would it?
I have a VERY IMPORTANT meeting on the Moon, and I HAVE to be there by 2020! You can't just postpone flights and expect to stay in business!

Just put in a ton of CREE LR6s in our kitchen/family room renovation. 650 lumens at only 12 watts (a 65W floodlight replacement.) The CRI is 92 with the 2700K bulb. Power factor is > 0.95. Rated at 50,000 hours (and have a 3 year warranty if they die before then) These are great bulbs. They retail for about $100, I was able to get them for $80/per on sale.
I remember getting a set of VMS manuals from Digital. It was a very large box, very heavy (a set of VMS manuals weighed over a hundred pounds.) The books didn't fix the box exactly, and in the box was another box, empty, labeled "Empty Filler Box".
Obviously we're fine with it, the careful part is making sure he's not using the knowledge inappropriately in class or with other people. I don't want that awkward call from his preschool teacher. Luckily, he's got a good understanding of situational behavior.
My kid's 4 and a half and really enjoys any science documentary we throw at him, and seems to have decent retention. This is a problem when we were traveling recently and all we could find on the TV was a documentary on the ancient Aztecs and their propensity for human sacrifice. When talking about hearts later, he remembered that the Aztecs took out people's hearts. So you have to be careful, but any kid who's naturally inquisitive will probably enjoy any fact-based programming geared for any age, with a thoughtful parent to help interpret they parts they might not understand.
I think we may have an immense misunderstanding here.
I think a female whale is in fact referred to as a "cow".
Therefore, these experiments are likely whale IVF. Which is still weird, but considerably less so. The real story is Japan's flimsy excuse to do "research" that allows them to continue whaling.
One thing that you'll always hear about Novell is that they're NOT in debt. They're revenue is falling, yes, but even with some of the financial hijinks they've pulled recently, they still have a lot of cash and very little debt. It used to be no debt when they were a Utah company with a eerily Mormon philosophy of not having any debt.
Novell employees are required to use SLED as their primary desktop. The majority of Novell employees have ThinkPad laptops (T42 and T43s). I imagine the T60p will now be the new Novell employee laptop.
I'm also hoping this extends to over ThinkPads in some form. I have the T60 (similar but an ATI graphics adapter) and would like some of these features when I run SLED 10. I'm particularly interested in getting power management similar to what we get in Windows, with full suspend mode support, better special key support, etc.
abcde works well. It's very configurable, rips to any audio format you'd want (I use FLAC) and can eject the CD when done. And it's written in bash.
My blog talks about how I used it. It can run as a daemon so I had it down to insert CD, and change it 15-20 minutes later when it ejected again (cdparanoia and flac took longer than 52x would make you think).
I don't want to go finger pointing, but it was right when it left my computer. The link text was moved to a different part of the article when it was posted. Looks like the typos happened then.
if you read closely, the claim that the lights put out twice the light output of a 100w flood only applies to the COLORED floodlights.
Which makes sense. A red LED floodlight will be made only with red LEDs, which emit nearly all their light in the red part of the spectrum. a 100w incandescent red floodlight is a regular incandescent with a red filter on the glass, which absorbs most of the light. The implication is that a 100w colored floodlight puts out about 150 lumens. I can believe that.

They made 1000x that in profit last quarter. They have $50 billion in the bank. $4.5 million is rounding error to Apple.

TV shows DO NOT work that way!
