Too bad they haven't invented a spell-checking robot yet.
I love Muine, but I don't like how I have to install a bazzillion dependancies to run a "light weight" mp3 player. Seems contradictory. If and when the application and all the dependancies work, the final products (at least the ones I've seen) are really nice though. I still prefer Muine over just about anything. I'm looking forward to trying BlueFunk.
I'm studying to get my MBA...just a few months away. I know my biggest problem is the fact that I like to play hooky more than anyone I could ever manage. I goof off a lot and tend to sit at my desk and Slashdot all day.
The fact that I even know what Transmeta is a testament to its success. It's not their hiring of Linus that caused them to do poorly, but it really did seem to peak interest in the software nerd crowd.
I think I saw this headline on Slashdot before. I'm too lazy to look for it though (which...I'm guessing is a good reason we Americans aren't good at math).
Let's not forget the other great uses of Live CDs (and one that I believe Gentoo pioneered even): GAMING! Although they're hard to find, RTCW:ET, Americas Army and Unreal 2003 Demo (requires NVidia card, sorry ATI kids) were also great for bringing to work during lulls.
I remember how these LiveCDs were polished and reliable - I'm excited to see what they come up with.
It's funny when I can nearly download the full image (iso of the disk) via torrent faster than I can load an image (jpg of the desktop screenshot) via http.
What the article doesn't say is that the sample was of 200 people - hardly enough to draw an accurate conclusion. This is a neat thought, but I'm not putting faith in these "results."
As someone else has already posted, this was also posted on OSNews about a week ago.
I could see this useful if it was a portable device...maybe for my business classes? One camera focused on my instructor, one on my eyes. If he looks at me when I'm alseep, alert me to pay attention (until the next time he looks away).
A funny thing to note on the "Get The Facts" website: The alt-tag on the top right image reads "Get a free Windows vs Linus evaluation kit". I'm wondering if Linus (maybe with an abacus?) can outperform a Windows Server 2003 with flux capaciter with multifluxing.
So, everyone's saying there's no money in Linux development? Last I check, RedHat, SuSE (Novell), Sun, IBM and a ton of others were paying their employees for developing Linux.
The reason third world countries were looking to develop Linux as their platform of choice was to bring those "in house" programming jobs to their own country, as opposed to paying a company that gives them no real taxable or GDP gains.
I think Gate's whole argument is flawed. Basically saying "give us money because the money we make from your poor countries, the taxes we pay in the US will somehow benefit you in country X." I'm having a hard time buying it.

The irony to that is, WINE is good code...while that made from Dreamweaver is not.

I'd think that after the 300,000th call, I'd catch on.

Oh, wait...
Powerbook? iPod? Cheap? Same sentence? I must be dreaming!
Yes, but where is the accountability? Where is the increased ROI and lower TCO? Rabble rabble rabble...I WANT IT ON MY DESK YESTERDAY!

Don't bother. Both programs are broken. Firefox won't even view Windows Update, and OpenOffice isn't detected on Office Update.

I've already seen the movie SWAT and I wasn't impressed.

What I want to know is if the "Maximum" version comes with more fish on the screensaver (ala XP Plus Pack).
OMGWTFROFLOL!!! That would be kewl!!11

Sounds like something that has already been done (in the private sector), only using a collection of PCs, not huge government computers. Link

For those that care, it was also reported on OSNews a bit ago too. OSNews
