    Bruce, just to expand on my question: for instance I am working on enhancing support for SMP in Debian on various architectures, and I had to BEG for hardware from various sources to do my work. Sometimes I wonder why I can't get the resources I need, after all there are people making lots of money off of the work we do.

    You are a looser just as the BSD folks. Try to apply for a job in SuSE. You have got to decide, do it for the community for free or go someplace where they pay for code.

  7. its not QoS as you know it on Faster Wireless Multimedia Streaming · · Score: 2, Interesting

    at least not 802.1p , It works on the radio level (PHY)
    http://w3.antd.nist.gov/wctg/manet/docs/VTC2003_Ba ckoff.pdf
    all you have to do is make sure that multimedia sending device gets their backoff timers boundaries set lower than the rest of the wifi boxes on the channel. That way they will be the first to occupy the band if in need. Thats how Cisco handles QoS in VOIP WiFi phones of theirs. Its 100% compatible with the receiver, only transceiver has to support it.
    google has it all

    As some of you guessed before this whole certification is pointless :) You can do the same in Linux today. Hell, thats how 802.11 DOS works (small traffic occupy whole band, just send first and pretend you send something big)

    Just browsing the features listed on the Opera page I don't see much that firefox doesn't offer natively or by installing an extension, so I see no real reason to switch and a few good resons not to.
    well, where do I start ?
    - SPEED, opera simply works below 266MHz 64MB under KDE, WORKS not crawls.
    - SESSION SAVING, you can save your open tabs anytime you like, and get back to them by simply loading a session. When it crashes (well, nobodys perfect) it autosaves session and lets you start browsing from the point before the crash - now THATS a feature I like.
    - adding NOTES to the pages
    - ZOOM and Small Screen Rendering or something, no matter what res you got, it WILL render the site ok

    and Tabs are EASY to work with, no more Konqeror shit like clicking 3 times to close a tab
    There is offcourse RSS feed reader and mail client, but ther are medicore (RSS is picked automatically from the page you are viewing if you like)

    Opera is INNOVATIVE, when was the last time you saw a new (and I mean a NEW) feautere in Moz/Fire ?? Tabs ? Opera, popup blocking ? Opera. Voice operated browsing ? Opera. Reading pages out loud ? Opera ...
