there is no way he would comment on this. no way Google would allow the first employee-mentioned browser or operating system or messaging system to be via a slashdot interview... slashdot is not a powerful group of folks. we're a bunch of nerds that push our glasses up our noses while we vehemently debate the practicalities of single-line and multi-line comments in source code.
in other words, we bicker too much to be taken seriously.
The command line was the ONLY interface when unix was first developed. X came long after the CLI and even if you're running Windows you still use the command line from time to time. If you don't you're just not using the power of your system, in my opinion.
raw text is the only true inter-system communication protocol. my cats and my computer understand a lot of the same words. my cat can't type but i can, and my computer can't understand the noises my cat makes, but i do - command pipes! where would we be without those, and those ONLY work in the CLI! we would be in the stone ages of computing without the CLI.
Linux is definitely not UNIX, but it is very UNIX-like. Linux was written from scratch, and is not recognized as a UNIX by the open group (click).
My understanding is that unless someone wants to pony up money to have Linux reviewed, and potentially be certified as UNIX, it won't ever be a true UNIX. There are POSIX compliance tests, and lots of little standards that have to be implemented and be implemented correctly.
I was in my dad's 1968 chrysler newport (HUGE car) and was driving 65 or so on cruise control. when i got into town the cruise wouldn't disengage and the 290hp motor was too much for the 4 wheel drum brakes to stop. for some reason the car would not go into neutral. i put the car through all the gears and my speed did not change. i cruised through town braking at about 50 and had a huge line of cops behind me by the time i got out of town, and when i finally got to a point of open road where i could think to switch off the ignition (i was 16, gimme a break) i was promptly thrown on the ground and handcuffed.
one of the officers didn't believe me when i said the cruise control stuck, and asked test the car himself, since it was the only way to prove to him that i wasn't purposely speeding. when he started the car again, cruise was still stuck, and the car was still stuck in gear, and VROOM 65mph. he spun around and hit a tree, steering column peirced his chest and killed him.
they kinda forgot about arresting me after that. cruise control sucks.
JPEG-2000 probably wasn't even considered because its not just about lossless images. There is a lot of data in a RAW image besides the image itself. The camera settings, the zoom, aperture, simulated film speed, time of day & date, shutter speed, and a lot of other information that isn't really translatable into human-visible imagery. It is the raw sensor data plus all of those things above and more.
The greatest advantage of photographing in RAW is that you can adjust the white balance long AFTER the image has been taken. My GF (at the time) took photos of an entire party (this was a paid gig) with the incorrect white balance, which would have effectively ruined the entire set if i'd had her shoot in JPEG (or even JPEG-2000), but since she shot in RAW we could easily adjust the white balance after.
the scrollbar is the real IE scroll bar but there's an invisible image on top of it. When you click and drag you're actually dragging this image onto a small square that follows the mouse cursor - you can't avoid dropping it into that small image.
the js code scrolls the page for you, instead of the actual scroll bar. since you're scrolling the page (via javascript) the real scroll bar reflects the new page position, making you think you actually were dragging the scroll bar.
as you learned, the code doesn't need to be executed to trip the anti-virus. oddly enough my corporate anti-virus didn't catch a thing (it didn't tell me it did anyway), and when i dropped, the empty.exe was installed.
I won't tell you where I work but I will tell you that its a place where you don't want viruses or spyware getting at the very personal data we have on 1:4 of you. You all opted-in for the data collection too. (very large insurance company) I will tell you that we're mandated to use IE and Outlook. Firefox installations will get anyone in this company in deep trouble - thanks SCO, for promoting fear of open source for your own selfish gain!
It has gotten to the point where MANY computer users I know simply refuse to install ANY Real products on their computers anymore and even boycott web sites that offer content in Real-only format.
Right here. Straight up refusal.
The gui appearance is horrible, the long commerical the player plays the first time you run it.. those two things top the Reasons To Not Use Real list for me.
To Real's Credit: you don't have to uncheck 20something boxes to turn off what their marketing people want turned on, and it seems to kind of finally uninstall cleanly. Things have gotten a lot better but i still refuse to install any of it.

hang on there, namecaller.
a full blown, nuclear reactor that powers a large fraction of a state (the one i'm thinking of is in south west iowa) produces only 3-5 55gal drums of waste PER YEAR.
that's VERY little. I CRAP about that much per year.
if you think that a small 10 megawatt reactor will produce enough waste to worry about even over the course of 30 years, i think you're mistaken. Besides, if its that encapsulated, if it was in need of waste removal, it would probably be something as simple as cartridge swap.
so, before you call someone an idiot, perhaps you should talk to someone that has actually worked at a nuclear plant and knows how much waste is produced.
snom.com has phones that do this. it is a standards-based voip phone and can talk with anything that can talk to a SIP server (including MSN messenger).
it has a web interface of its own that you can initiate phone calls if you only know the IP of the other person, in which case you don't even need a SIP server.
i have 6 invites. first six to email me win. others will be placed in a queue.
first come first serve. invites come in pretty regularly, so MAIL ME (comments will be ignored) and i'll do what i can to get you an invite in the order you contact me.
intelligent comment. you have to get people to stop wanting to pirate things to actually get them to stop pirating. perhaps that is the [warning: cliche joke ahead] source of all this crappy music nowadays.
the same is true for the drug 'epidemic' in the US. until people stop wanting drugs, people will buy them.
GM announced that they'd import their GTOs from their Australian branch.
no, they're made in Australia by Holden, and Holden designed the body style (known as the Commodore in.au) that Pontiac loved so much. They bought the body style for use in the GTO and (i think) have asked Holden to manufacture them for Pontiac.
Since the Australian company designed and created the car and all of the toolwork to build that body style, it makes a lot of sense for them to be built there. and i won't even get into how horribly wrong the use of the word "branch" is here. Holden is not a branch of anything, they're an Australian company.

www.unix.org says what is and what is not unix. they own the trademark to "unix", "Unix", and "UNIX".
Linux is definitely not UNIX, but it is very UNIX-like. Linux was written from scratch, and is not recognized as a UNIX by the open group (click).

so, no. Linux is not UNIX.

JPEG-2000 simply couldn't work in that scenario.
Canon's EOS 1Ds has this feature built-in already, if the picture is taken with their raw format. its an easy thing to add.

if your glovebox or trunk is locked, they cannot look in them without a warrant. gloveboxes are fairly private if you're an informed citizen.
pre-1.0. by definition that means there are unimplemented features.
after 1.0 i think we'll have some reasons to complain.

30 seconds. you type FAST, man.
just don't stretch it to full screen. 1280x1024 stretched on a 1600x1200 lcd looks shitty, but 1280x1024 unstretched on a 1600x1200 lcd looks fine.
