Let's face it, what Joe User uses (Windows) will never be cool. Coolness is individuality, being a trend-setter, being original. That's why Mac is considered hip by some as well as Linux (more of a geeky coolness though).
that unless the tasks you need employees for are eating donuts and attending the help desk, you'd need people with heads on. So don't trust people that collect heads as trophies to get you good employees.
Is it possible to make your GBA do some useful none-game task, like IR remote control or mini-PDA or something? Any open source projects? What language do you code the stuff in anyway? Damn, this got me interested...
They used a non-free compiler. The GPL doesn't say you have to release the source of the compiler you use to compile your source code? They could, theoretically, be using a compiler that adds tons of features or something.
Seems to be: use open standards and release your source. Seems obvious enough. If everyone has access to your material and can work with it, support businesses will grow up around it and other people will use. Hoarding your secrets will only make people invent the wheel every time.
Does anyone know what Linus' long-term plans are? I mean, it'll probably be 2-3 years before 2.8 comes out, but then what? What is Linux going to look like in 10 or 20 years? Boggles the mind, eh?
I find this interesting. However, since they do not appear to be as... er.. interested in dollars as the record labels the RIAA represents, I wonder how much cash they actually have to give out to each new artist they sign (to cover studio time, expenses, drugs etc etc).
Getting 50 % of the profit is nice and all, but if you don't get any money to record the music in the first place it's kinda pointless.
Timing is the issue. It needs to get around fast. And Google is something you can say in an office setting. Penis Pump is a frowned upon phrase (especially when describing co-workers, but that's another story). Also Google is free, and most people don't like to talk about their perversions and similar topics with their friends, it's uncomfortable, to say the least.
I hear you but consider this: do a lot of geeks have secret perversions? Do a lot of geeks read Slashdot?
I'm just saying there are ways to attract attention to something without spamming.
Why do people care so much about how many people use Linux? Who gives a rat's behind if the Linux server market shrinks by 5 %. It's not like the people who really drive the innovation, the coders, are going to switch to Windows 2003. I'll bet those 5 % were just regular users who never contributed anything back to the source code, so what's the loss really?
Outside of PHB-style statistics, why should we care how many people use Linux?
Your idea, although novel, is flawed. Even if you were to sell these products at a loss, you would still have to get your name and policy out there, and using the same medium as your competition. So to put the spammers out of business, you will have to spam to do it.
I don't see why. Most people know about Google for instance, does Google spam people to get attention? If a place on the 'Net becomes the de facto standard for something the word will spread around
With the efficiency of spam filters and widespread use of blacklists and such, how can the spammers actually make any money? It's logical that they (the spammers) should try to bring attrition to the defenses of mail servers.
Btw, I have a novel idea for bringing spammers out of business. OK, here goes: spammers want to sell you penis enlargement programs, viagra, and pr0n right? Well, what if someone sets up a company solely dedicated to selling these things at the lowest price possible? People could just go to AllMyPerverseNeeds.com and get their fix cheaply and securely. Obviously we can't compete with Nigeria type spams, but it would bring down a lot of spam I think. So, anyone in favor of starting a non-profit Viagra depot?
Lucky bastard, you have smoke signals?? Over here we have to use IP over avian carriers (RFC 1149). Have you ever seen the pigeon dung fallout of a slashdotting?
Yeah, on Slashdot you get some story about how lucky you are to have 486's, how other people have to run Linux on their Gameboys, and that you should make a Beowulf cluster.

I read somewhere that it's like 5 times faster than SCSI over TCP/IP. Is it true? And how great is the sacrifice of not using TCP/IP? I mean, what doesn't support Ethernet these days?

Every album SUCKS! Once Mustaine left the band, they went right down the tubes.
Do you honestly think Megadeth is any better then? They sound like watered down Metallica with a crappy singer IMHO.
BTW, you forgot the Garage Days album. Their old covers actually rule. It's how I got into the Misfits and Danzig
Doing a 180 degree turn that fast has to be hard on the body. It's hard on the hairline when under the sheets too.
What is that supposed to mean? You lose hair when you turn in bed?
that unless the tasks you need employees for are eating donuts and attending the help desk, you'd need people with heads on. So don't trust people that collect heads as trophies to get you good employees.
But it won't be any good until major browsers (IE, Mozilla, Safari) support it out of the box.

You are a saint man, I'm used to getting fucked over!
Anyway, where is your studio? I play heavy metal/crossover punk

Now all we need is to invent a way to project sound waves in space, then we can hold re-enactions of all the battles in Star Wars :)

but shouldn't money be spent on the space elevator?
Am I wrong? Is there a need for both the space elevator and cheap and efficient rockets?
Yeah, on Slashdot you get some story about how lucky you are to have 486's, how other people have to run Linux on their Gameboys, and that you should make a Beowulf cluster.

I'm sure the speed of a kernel-level logger will be amazing. I bet WinXP comes with one already running and recording everything.
Yeah, maybe that's why it needs so much disk space
