What type of code is it? Is it a huge computation intensive program that will benefit from minor optimizations, or... is it some program to say... display a calendar
The type of problem to be solved plays an important role in optimization of the code.
True, but MSI does have ports of most of their programs for IBM RS/6000; some even have ports for DEC/Alpha stations.
About platforms and computational chemistry, look at the list of ports for CHARMM(Serial machines, Parallel machines); this list includes Beowulf clusters, CRAY and Intel supercomputers, and most UNIX workstations.
Granted, this is only one program (available with source), and much of the visualization programs are SGI-specific [Quanta is also available for RS/6000], porting these applications would not be impossible; The companies will have to wait for a large enough crowd guaranteed to use that port, otherwise it would not be economically feasible [i.e. EVERYBODY OUT THERE START BUGGING MSI [or other vendor] ABOUT LINUX PORTS; hehe, even if you know nothing about chemistry, just call them up and bug them about a linux port, just try not to sound too stupid]
Just to let everybody know, the above post is a comment in the html source of the transmeta home page, not some ramblings by a caffeine-pumped slashdotter, like I initially thought it was.
Let's clear this up: - Cobalt Networks makes "internet appliances"; makers of the all-cool "Qube" - tickets.com and it's competitor Ticketmaster sell tickets to entertainment events.
In closing, If you don't know what you are talking about, don't say anything, you only clutter things up.
I have bought stock through E*trade in the past, but only in stock that had existed for a while. Is there anything special about buying IPO stock, any restrictions?
While it may seem like everybody in computer/internet-related fields are exceptionally bright, it is not true that all exceptionally bright people are drawn into computer/internet-related fields. Every field has it's exceptionally bright. Be it agriculture, the arts, biology, computer science, chemistry, physics, education, engineering. Proof of this is available at your nearest University. There will always be some who are exceptionally bright and an endless source of creative ideas. They are not all in computer/internet-related fields. I wouldn't even say that the majority of exceptionally bright people are in computer/internet-related fields This brings me to your second point, that once this "internet-boom" is over, what will one do. If as you say, most comp/net-related workers are bright, I'm sure they will find something to do to put the bread on the table. They may not have as comfortable a lifestyle as they currently do, but they will survive. But I do agree that many (might I say majority) of our political figures are unfit to run this country, be it your town's mayor or the country's president.
This can be no good Linux Fragmentation, first we heard rumors and predictions, now we see the first hints of it. The way linux works, anybody can do anything with it, so TurboLinux has the right to do whatever they want with it. The danger is in fragmentation. I think the best way to handle this is for Linus and the head kernel hackers to sit down with peoples at TurboLinux and try to come up with a solution. Turbolinux should at least give the hackers time to look at their code and evaluate it. The clustering code will probably get better with a team of hackers worldwide looking at it!!!
No dude, you have not used it lately. What are you trying to get work? MS Office - yes it works, even 2000 And with Corel donating developers to the WINE project, things have been moving along faster than before Wine has its bugs, but development is constant, and things are moving forward very progressively best of luck to the wine crew

TOKYO (AP) -- Politicians and business executives mourned the death of Sony Corp. co-founder Akio Morita on Sunday, lauding the entrepreneur who helped change Japan's image from a maker of slipshod products to world-class manufacturer.
``Morita was a leading figure who played a pivotal role in developing Japan's postwar economy,'' Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi was quoted as saying by Kyodo News agency.
Morita, whose health had been failing for several years, died Sunday of pneumonia. He was 78.
Obuchi was one of about 400 people who visited the world-renowned businessman's Tokyo home following his death.
Morita co-founded the electronics giant in a bombed-out department store after World War II. He was the last of a generation of Japanese industrialists that included carmaker Soichiro Honda and electronics rival Konosuke Matsushita.
A front page article in Japan's national Asahi newspaper called him the ``face of Japan's economic sector.''
Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara, who co-authored ``The Japan That Can Say No,'' with Morita, called him an exceptional businessman with a cosmopolitan outlook.
``He had the international mind that Japan lacked in the past and looked at Japan's place in the world with a sense of relativity,'' Ishihara said.
He added that if Morita had become chairman of Japan's top business lobby, the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations, ``the Japanese economy might have changed.''
Morita was a savvy salesman who became No. 386 on Forbes magazine's list of billionaires, with an estimated worth of $1.3 billion. He was also the only non-American on U.S.-based Time magazine's list of the top 19 businessmen of the 20th century.
In the late 1980s, he called for many of the economic reforms now being carried out by Japan's government, although he reportedly declined an offer to become foreign minister in August 1993.
``Mr. Morita was a hero for me. He hewed through the world market and breathed life into the company and the Sony brand,'' company president Nobuyuki Idei said.
Born in the central Japanese city of Nagoya on Jan. 26, 1921, Morita retired as Sony's chairman in 1994. A year earlier he had suffered a stroke that left him weakened and in a wheelchair.
Sony Corp. began in 1946 when Morita, the oldest son of a rice-wine brewer, joined former Japanese navy colleague Masaru Ibuka, a fellow engineer, to start a business repairing radios on a borrowed $500.
Using old parts and ingenuity in Japan's harsh postwar economy, he and Ibuka produced Japan's first magnetic recording tape and tape recorder in 1950.
They made Japan's first transistors in 1954 after convincing government industrial planners to allow their upstart company to buy the rights to the American device. They made Japan's first all-transistor radio in 1955.
Sony made the world's first all-transistor television in 1960 and the first home video tape recorder in 1965.
With Morita as president of Sony's U.S. subsidiary, Sony in 1970 became the first Japanese firm to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and in 1972 became one of the first Japanese companies to build a U.S. factory.
Probably the company's most famous success was the Walkman personal stereo cassette player, which Sony began selling in the 1980s.
Morita was also ready to acknowledge his occasional blunders. His best-known gaffe was in VCRs. When the market for videocassette recorders was in its infancy in the early 1980s, Sony pushed its Beta recording format but lost to competitors who used the more popular VHS standard.
Even without Morita at the helm, Sony continues to lead the world in electronics and computer entertainment. Earlier this month, the company launched a new attack on rival game makers Sega and Nintendo by announcing next year's launch of an improved version of its popular PlayStation system.

My hands are getting strained and tired of having to lift my hands off the 50 lb original IBM keyboard to move the mouse around.
So I was wondering, are there any alternative keyboards available that can be used with a POWERstation 370?
It would be even better if I could use a combination keyboard/mouse.
It looks like the connector on the box is a PS/2 jack, but I wasn't sure what would happen if I attached a combo keyboard/mouse from a PC.
Thanks for any help
