According to the Novell guys who visted last week, NSS was designed to be portable and is currently running very nicely on Linux, it should be in open beta end of Q3 or early Q4.
In my shop we have about 400 servers, 80 of them are Netware which does all of our file and print, the rest are NT/2K servers each running a single application becasue of stability problems with NT/2K. Our parent company uses NT/2K for everything and has pushed us to move to 2K for file and print, but they can never make the business case, so we still have our servers.
I think the author meant that the primary WiFi users were once the technically inclined, but has recently shifted to the less technically capible people.
Where to begin, your first proposal would require any country that wished to launch any kind of space craft to get permission from almost every country and a few rouge nations as well. To orbit anything in a non-meridian or non-geosynchronous would require treaties on the scale of the UN charter. Currently there are only 3 countries able to provide manned space flight and about a dozen launching satellites. If your proposal went into effect, Brazil would be the only country that would be able to get the paperwork done to launch anything.
There is a treaty stating that the Moon does not belong to any country.
It sounds like you're a US basher; at least everything you have recommended would be detrimental to the US and its allies. Also the US is not a colony because we revolted and kicked the British out, the rest we bought from France because they were busy loosing some war or another.
Personally I wish we would start colonizing space, but that takes money, technology and resources we currently do not have. At the moment each of the space faring countries and respective consortiums are working together fairly well. Most of the groups have their space projects for the next 20 year fairly well planned out with minimal over lap, and where there is over lap, it seems to be for the higher risk projects.
On a political note, we don't care what you think. The President of the United States is the business of the United States, if you don't like it petitions your government to end diplomatic relations with the United States (if you are allowed to do that in your country).
Insanity and Genius tend to go hand in hand. I personally beleive Nikola Tesla is one of the greatest thinkers of all times, I also beleive he was as mad as a hatter.
There are only a couple of things that Netware really needs. One is a decent Xwindows system. The packaged Xwindows is a Java implementation of X11R6 that is horribly slow and problematic. The other is a decent C-compiler. Neither of these should be difficult, but they never seem to get done either.
In Netware 4.11 and 4.2 TCP/IP was worthless but it could do File/Print although I would advise agianst it. In Netware 5 released in '98 TCP/IP worked pretty well and it is basically the same stack that they are using in 6.5 and will probably be using on the Netware side of 7.0. IPX/SPX works on the WAN, but it is not very good, it is very chatty and uses a lot of packetsso latency kills it. But on a LAN, IPX/SPX rocks for moving data.
Most of the shops I have helped in the process of moving from Netware to something else, has been the result of bad ZENworks installs destorying the desktops acorss th ecompany becasue their people did'nt know what they were doing.
The ed command was left over from Digital Research, the Netware Editor is a blue and yellow editor that looks like it fell out of the late 80's but it works really well.
eDirectory hasn't been called NDS for a few years now,and eDirectory has been running on Linux/AIX/Solaris/HP-UX for a few years now. I beleive you can still get a 50k seat license for free. Although it is closed source, it is one of the best LDAP implementations avalible.
Two large shops that are using eDirectory are the Star Alliance (a group of airlines) who uses it for customer tracking requireming a directory system for soem 300 million objects. The other big one I know of is CNN (take a look at the bottom of their page, powered by eDirectory). CNN did not allow for a fair comparison agianst the other directory systems, and they still won the contract, everytime you surf CNN their directory is updated.
The Netware threading model is signficantly better than the Linux model. Apache on Netware using the same hardware will out perform Linux. The test we ran about 6 weeks ago was RH AS 2.1 vs Netware 6.0 both were running Apache 2.0.
I know when I was out of work for a while if somebody offered me a bucket of money to write something like this, I would have at least thought about it, If I had a family to support, I probably would have done it.
Things like this will probably happen more and more with beter and better programers as the IT jobs keep going over seas, sooner or later the hammer will fall andf the public will be saying WTF? Why didn't somebody stop this form happening.
I just hope Sony doesn't make the same mistakes IBM made with OS/2 when Windows 95 was promised at the begining of '95. To beat Microsoft to Market, they released a product that wasn't ready for primetime and Wnidows 95 was late and the PC 32-bit OS fell to Microsoft.

I used to hear the music even when I wasn't playing the game. Yea you can play a game too much.
Although 536 million may not be much for microsoft, it is a lot for Novell.
I do not normally support patents for programs. But if this means the death of Java and .NET it would make me happy.

Novell's NSS for Linux should be avalible in Q4, I know it will take care of my of my issues.

Tesla was Serbian.

Novell mentioned it was comming in '02 and announced it at Brain Share '03.

It's an Opel although cheaper.
