I know this I done work them. I was given a voter file for a county and ask to find the people who vote the most out of particular elections such as 2 of 4. Guess what; The people who vote the most are older people so if you really wnat a voice you need to show the politicians you vote
I am dieing to see the full blown mozilla. What is great about it AOL as the power to push it as the next browser they can get Netspace/Mozilla back as leader in the Browser Area. I predict that it will be about 50/50 in 18 months. If you don't think how aol user are out there and how may non AOL user have AIM.
They help apache, linux. They are already have linux solutions soon they are have linux running on their BIG Machines for sale. So I can not untill those are fully supported
They read Machiavelli these companies are trying to control there users source of information. We have all seen this where companies went ahead and made sure the press or the customers never seen a certain document that can ruin their name. This is nothing new.
Now the corel offically is releasing WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux this going to open a new arena for Linux companies now. Hopefully corel will be smart and allow it to run on any linux distribution I hate to do reinstall just to install something else. This will help keep linux foot in the door as a desktop replacement for companies and even for people at home now you sell linux computers to people who have limited needs for thier computers with no fear of them having problems finding a Good office software packages they need. This is not the last we will see of this kind of thing. This will be fun to see how this plays out
the article even states that forking will happen but it will never last for long. Humpty Dumpty IS PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

But one thing does bother me is that they kept on stating if Linus can keep all from falling apart That should not even be questioned!! He has kept it all running for this long and he is going to kept it going untill he moves on to a new project for himself. Linux survial does not depend on Linus but it would be ashame if he left it but he does not have to be there to keep it going. The only thing that we need a good leader for the devolopment of it. Alan Cox would be the next in line
Open Source is the only true way to make sure you software is totally secure because if it is not you can fix it. Now it is true that you can find more backdoor if you have the source in front of you but there are people out there who can read assembly as if it was a their native tongue. So in even close source software they someone can figure out if the software is insecure. Well that is my say on this thing.
This gives a new meaning "A mind is a terrible thing to waste" Seriously think about it. I work for a company if I leave they will have a lot of problems. Not to say they couldn't get thier jobs done, but will they have a lot of work ahead of them. It is hard for the other guys to figure out the things I do. I feel bad about this but with out the proper training invested in thier people this problem will never be solved. I seen this happen in many different companies. With focus on technology these days it is going to happen time and time agian.
From what I heard about microsoft they don't like to rewrite certain things that is why Windows of alphas sucks This might give them a chance to have a processor that will help not have to write most of thier code I could by wrong but you never know
As Stated before apple got some ideas from Xerox , microsoft from apple, gnome from microsoft each product itself is different and evolved in their own kind of beast. The ideas came from more or less the same place. Now it is up to use the users to help Gnome evolve into a greater beast one that can do things like no one else can do we are getting there but we stil have a long ay to go. But remember it took microsoft years to come up with the "LOOK AND FEEL OF WINDOWS". So we need to be willing to take our time with this and learn from the ones who went ahead of us (microsoft and apple) and be willing to risk on what we do.
Alot of people will buy this box if you can configure it to the way you want (of course you may void your warranty ). If this is to up agianst playstation, nintendo, x-box, sega and any other I forgot mention. The greatest selling point will be this your box the way you want it. You make it into anything you want without our permission The company then can sell thier knowledge of how to programm in thier enviroment To companies who want to support. Also there can also be games that are officially supported but that doean't mean that you can't put another game on there but if it is not an official game we can't help with it. There is alot of things that can be done on the marketing side of this they just need a great spin doctor
This is we have to fight patents, DMCA, THE MPAA, THE RIAA these laws and agencies block progress, stifle engenuity, raise prices, crush the competion,and leave the consumer at mercy of a few. The madness most stop!! We need to support the EFF and others agencies like it so we don't lose the freedoms we already have

That is a piece of hacker history there. You never understand the real impact places like that have on young hackers untill you are much older. The community that is created that is the most important thing
However, technology that enables a business process is patentable.
If a programer is asked to create an application to automate a business process should he worry if that process itself is patented? What if that programmer work for himself and he creates such an application so now A big corporation can tell him he can't use that application to help himself in his business. Now that is wrong.
Our rights in the United States are being slowly taken away by companies. We need let them know we are will stand for them pushing us around. Join the fight.
