MCN was a great guy for a CEO no doubt about this. But more interesting may be the inovative turn arround only Schwartz can bring to Sun. If we remember the Open Sourcing push for Solaris and Co. from Schwartz, or at leat the test a Server for 60 days, than we may consider, that he may be hte only one to safe the Sun!
There seems an overall very differnt adoption rate in GNU/Linux and FOSS arround the world. For example at least following my recognation (worked for a UK company) the UK lacks adoption and is still a M$ Stronghold in Europe. Does anyone can explain this further?

Yes, I'm willing to pay taxes for exactly this (despite I do not have much believing in some of the companies like DTAG in the boot).
>3. get out of the mindset that the internet is somehow defined by geographical borders and >edges - just what is an EU search engine? Does it just search the EU? What?
No, it isn'nt. What do we have yet? Ok- Google seems not to much biased from US politics now, but maybe you may have a look on CNN, which really degraded itself as US propaganda?
You may also remember Bush's total survilance order to the NSA? It included the rerouting of European Internet traffic through the US to spy on it. What do you think, is not M$ or any US search engine, or nearly every US software company providing the same means, backdoors and API's? Therefor I would more like to taken our own kind of backdoors and spyware used on us as EU citizens. Not that I believe to be free in Europe, but to be this little be more free here they may let us in the end.
I think without the GNU foundation framework (compiler, libraries, shell etc.) and the Linux Kernel there would be nothing with FOSS. Without all the foundation under the the GPL there would be nothing to build on for the other prograsms.
BTW: Where the hell is LAMP in the top 10? Apache would be nothing without Perl, PHP, Phyton, MySQL or PostGresSQL.
Its time to go on war against the RFID pestilence. This is a main assult on personal freedom and we will all end up as slaves with total awarness without able to fighting it at all soon.
Maybe we shall add a part to the GPL forbitting to use FOSS if a company uses RFID.
>>Let's cut to the chase - Bin Laden is being assisted by people - a LOT of people.
He man, the whole world knows that he is in Nordern Pakistan. He is there since before the Iraq war. The US could have got him there with much lower amount of troops.
So what? Either its better for some people in Washington to not get him, or they simply have other priorities like makeing dirty money in Iraq?
I would see the bommerang effect in an other way. All of this will fight back on innocent people in the US homeland too. There will be more innocent victims on both sides. There will be more attacks in the US. This is a simple escalation cycle. Only some guys in Washington are making the big money therewhile. They are not carrying about killed civilians in Iraq or US casulties at all as long as the TV manipulated US public is not takeing care at all. The losers of this are the common people on both sides.
The winners are the clans of Bush, the VP und Haliburton. There is not even a real interest in bring this war to an end. Right now the bad guys are making the big money without any control in Iraq, either from oil or from delivering the troops. The US tax payers are paying the bill, and the Iraqi people getting more hurt every day.
This is not a war on terror this is on oil and money. The whole world knows that to fight terror we had have to go to the Pacistan tribe areas to bring it (and Osama) to an end. Also we would have to go after Bushs business partners in Saudi Arabia from where still most of the terror money is coming. There was no link to Iraq than to robber their oil.
I just think there could be some truth with this smart cards.
It may be similiar to SCSI against ATA/IDE.
I have some older workstation with an 3Com 3cSRV97 Thyphoon smart NIC and it is quite fast despite its age. Before some days I did a dd over netcat and the load was 2.65 IDE/Realtek Crap against 0.25 15K SCSI/3c97SRV NIC.
Maybe there ist not all about CPU speed here, despite most people are only looking for this.
[quote] Sun is notorious for producing some of the most stable software in the world. It's not fast, or pretty; it just never, ever fails.[/quote]
I go with your first part and with your view about Java, but Solaris is not only stable it is also a nice cute. And it is fast (maybe now too under x86) no matter how much load is on the server!
SandBox, overating links - link farm impact, hilltop oligarchy, big sites oligarchy, 2x32 double index as not able to go on 64Bit therefore sites dumped in secondary index, 301 redirects not working, 302 page hijacking...
There are a lot of faults they have to be blamed for doing nothing to solve it out.
But the sandbox massacre is a real crime they are responsible for to the Web community:
They dump about a year now 90 % of the new opened domains into a secondary index (mainly its assumed tha G$$gle is be not able to go over the 32 Bit barrier for siteids as all money is pumped in opening new shops and not in the core bussines SE) and thus never pop up in top SERPs. But as well a lot of this sites would in Googles normal algo if not Google would filter them out.
They block 1 year of 10 Internet year - what a crime!
I thank god and the lonely smart guys at AOL that left Mozilla free. Otherwise we had now a ruined Firefox under AOL logo with a lot of AOL spyware...
From an other point, I can only say this: Does their management have no plan at all. They had bought Netscape before years and out of this was build the finest browser in the world now. And than right before it is really able to strike back they pushed it away. After this they build first an monster with IE and Firefox engines together as NetscapeX and now second they come up with this joke AOL browser with MSIE engine.

The problem with Sun is not products. They have some real jewels: to mention Solaris (cute tricky bitch - I love you!), Java, Opterons. The problem is with their closed mind flip flop management. Sometimes there PR seems to be follow the mess principle from SCO.
P.S: It's time to free Sol and Java under the GPL - when will you get this at Sun?

So the best would be to sweap before our own doors - right?

This is truth following the theory, but as with most things on the planet, in real life it seems to be such the opposite.

that Cogent is undermining the market with dumping prices without having any good infrastructure instead having the last crap.
They simply got nearly a knock out from from of the worlds bigest and finest carrier.
This is not a problem of the Internet, its only a problem for such a crappy company as Cogents is.
