  1. Re:I would be wary of this news on Sun COO Schwartz Promises Open Source Solaris · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the mean time, it looks like Solaris will be employed to put downward pricing pressure on Red Hat et al., possibly even with free servers thrown into the bargain.

  2. Re:Area 51 is a hoax by the goverment on Area 51 Hackers Map Buried Surveillance Network · · Score: 1
    ... that Area 51 is a testing ground for new, experimental aircraft.

    Yes, but that aircraft is based on recovered ET technology, in case you missed that X-Files episode.

  3. This is a company... on Criticizing Sun's Java Desktop System · · Score: 1

    ... scrambling to remain relevant. Don't use Java. Certainly don't use Java Desktop. Suse/Mono/Qt is good, open technology that may actually succeed.

  4. Re:it's war on MS Hires The Salesman Who Won Munich For SUSE · · Score: 2, Interesting
    ... they are doing what any company would do, hiring the best people they can to do the job!

    Is that it? Or are they hiring this guy for his contacts list so that he can re-sell all the people he sold Suse to?

  5. Caveat Emptor on Wonkette and the Ethics of Online Journalism · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The watch phrase for the consumer of anything purporting to be journalism, online or offline, is "let the buyer beware". One person's accurate reporting is another's biased bird cage liner. You neglect to use your critical filter at your own peril.

  6. Depiction of Puppeteers on Scifi Channel to Make Ringworld Miniseries · · Score: 1
    Shall be interesting to see how they depict the Puppeteers.

    If the creators of the miniseries do their homework, they'll take not of the fact that Niven describes a Puppeteers heads as resembling Cecil from the Beany and Cecil TV animation of the 1960's.

  7. Please Stay Away on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 1

    There are no tech jobs here and the real estate market is the priciest in the country. Please stay where you are.

  8. Hardware will always be expensive on Gates: Hardware, Not Software, Will Be Free · · Score: 1

    ... as long as MS is getting a license fee for that hardware's OS.

  9. Re:NYT is pimping their articles AGAIN. on Robotic Bubble Baths for Japan's Elderly · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, but I posted the story and I have absolutely no connection to the NYT. I don't event subscribe to the paper.

  10. Help for an embarassing problem. on Celebrating Spam's Ten-Year Anniversary · · Score: 1

    By now, small naughty bits and "performance problems" should be a thing of the past.

  11. Story behind the story on SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated] · · Score: 1

    The story behind the story is that they announced Wednesday that they will have a wider first-quarter loss vs. a year ago on declining revenue. When somebody's drowning, they'll grab at anything they can.

  12. Re:They've found life! on NASA Mars Press Briefing & "Significant Findings" · · Score: 1

    Mars is on its way down. We're the upwardly mobile life form in this corner of the galaxy.

  13. Re:Qt and Windows on Qt 3.3 Released; OSNews Talks With TrollTech's CEO · · Score: 1

    This capsule review was extremely useful to me. On the basis of it, I'm going to buy the book. Many thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.
