  1. intuitive on What Is Important In A User Interface? · · Score: 1

    The user interface should be intuitive, that said, the first an only intuitive user interface is "The Nipple".

  2. Sattelite Latency on Broadband From The Sky In 2002? · · Score: 1

    According to their Tech page they are using GEO stationary birds, this will be much more latent than say Teledesic's LEO (Low Earth Orbit) sattelites.

    You won't Quake with iSky, well you might, but you will die quickly.

    yuk.

  4. Re:I find this rumor questionable... on Red Hat Buying Cygnus? · · Score: 1

    They will use the DIAB compiler (Which beats GCC hands down in the embedded space).

    The DIAB compiler is part of ISI, WindRiver bought out ISI. (or is buying).

  6. Whats all this Lineo stuff anyhow on Upside Article On Embedded Linux · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that they are going to put some proprietary glue into their embedded distro.

    From talking with them, it didn't sound like it would be GPL'd.

    Its my understanding (someone from Lineo can chime in here and correct me), that they will
    sell "their" linux with a Royalty fee for each system deployed.

    That is the pre-historic business model currently used by several of the embedded O/S companies.

    The problem with making Linux into an embedded system is that it is a PITA to strip it down to a reasonable size (I know, I am doing it now).



  7. Intuit has only had TWO calls for Linux version on WINE 991031 (Hallowine) Released · · Score: 2

    I called Intuit just now, she said that they cannot say if there is a native Linux version
    planned.

    She did say that I was only the SECOND PERSON to
    ask for it.

    Intuit: 1-800-446-8848

    I have a hard time to believe that I am only the second person to ask for it.

    Maybe we need an open source version of QuickBooks ?

    I bet it would have survived if it was running a 366Mhz PowerPC 750 with Linux and PHP.. maybe Phorum

  9. Re:Motorola has ALWAYS been "on the bandwagon" on Caldera pulls Motorola onto Linux Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    you sure that isn't GNU/LINUX/PPC ?
