What reports have you read that have said a major loss of the U.S. workforce is due to the "good will of the open source community"?
This seems like an obvious troll, because of all the problem with the U.S. job force, tech jobs or not, he's blaming open source software as the cause for tech jobs? C'mon now, in this time of political turmoil, where we have such a high unemployment rate, and such and awful economy, you think open source is the blame? Get a clue!
Yay! for the USPTO, I'm sure they are bound to grant someone a patent on pop-up ad blocking, lord knows there is nothing out there to stop anyone from filing for that patent.
By saying "no world wars", you mean to say "nothing called a world war." There have been hundreds of U.N. police actions, that should be called, maybe not to the extent of "world war", but none the less, very severe wars.
I don't really understand to what extent anyone can control the internet, but if/when they do, it will be a sad and scary story.
I know China and some of those other countries are putting the mean clamp down on internet access, but I can only imagine people are circumventing thier controls on it, in one way or another.
The internet is, and should be one of those things that people shouldn't try and control.
It's amazing this post, I even didn't do my obligatory shout-out to how much I hate the UN.
Hopefully they will give savings back to individual employees in one way or another, its just a matter of accounting. IBM, if they save a significant amount, will push out dividends, put money into more R&D, bonuses to upper management.
Somebody and hopefully some peoples will benefit by IBM making this move
I wonder who would own the moon in the case that scientist actually found a strong resource that would be invaluable here on Earth, or something along those lines. Every country that has a space program would head on up there and try to stake their claim at the moon, and even countries that didn't previously have a space program would probably develop one if there was a valuable resource on the moon to be gathered.
Which brings me back to my original question, who would own the moon?
For us to return to the moon, there has to be an incentive, and in the past we just weren't able to find one. Thank heavens these scientists finally stepped forward and are attempting to come up with excellent reasons to return.
Maybe some of these scientist ought to come up with a theory that is a massive amount of oil underneath the moons surface, that will really get us running.
Nonetheless, I would like to see us continue our space explorations and moon landings, to learn as much as possible.
This is horrible. Thank heavens BitKeeper recognized the failed attempt to alter the code of the kernel. This is something the kernel developers should really come up and implement a plan to maintain kernel "safety".
Dark Helmet: So the combination is 1,2,3,4,5... That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage.
President Skroob: . . . 1,2,3,4,5. That's amazing I've got the same combination on my luggage.
I have actually been saying this for quite a while. If some random person comes up to me and asks me a computer question (a person I know isn't good with computers), I would definetely say that linux is not for them.
But yes, as it stands now, I don't think linux is ready for your Joe Blow average home user, no way, no how. While linux has been shifting towards a better, easier, and more clean user interface (GUIs) that would help the average user do better, I still don't think it is there yet.
The one bad thing I see to these comments from Red Hat are: Red Hat has been pushing for a simplier, easier to use linux system for the home user (well, until recently that is). It's always nice (occasionally, when I'm in a good mood) to have some either super optimistic people out there saying once in a while, "Hey, everybody should use linux!", or some linux or FSF fanatic like ESR or RMS.

Very little to none.

It's called herpes. . . . I'm sure many people have websites dedicated to their personal case of herpes. Lord knows I do.
Remember, in the end: It's not a cure, just a supplemental treatment to treat outbreaks
I'm now going to cringe everytime I see a product that has "New Features". I'm going to start buying products with no features at all. . .

So. . . IBM is converting its employees to VoIP
Sounds interesting, I hope this is done in a humane way.
