As response on linux you might even say. Been busy with linux myself since 1993 or 1994, bit murky there. Yee good old times of nights of kernel hacking to get your hardware working.
For myself: I had bright blond and grey hair since that time, no blue, and not enough to wair it in a ponytail. Another weird observation though: I loved linux from the start even with all the torture of the early kernels. It must be appealing on a nerd level I guess.
With China wanting to start building a moon base in 2017, there is a chance that NASA will live. If they could just have spend the enormous budget which is available for war, we would have had a deathstar circling the sun by now.
P.S. The deathstar idea is to keep inline with the most likely project which would make it through the Bush administration.

Creators do depend on income through their work if they do it fulltime. I was more thinking in the line of commercial music with musicians who are great performers, but are not creative at all them selve to be able to create their own material. Some people who are great in creating material however, should not be allowed to perform since they for example can not sing or act.
Anyway, for now reading a complete novell of a screen pretty much sucks, and printing it is more expensive then just buying the book. And for music: When I like something, I buy the CD/DVD, even when I already own the mp3s of it.
If Google crushes copyright law, and in that proces makes all content free, than the value of all other content will go down, but the value of Google will not go up. With a sufficiently crushed copyright law under which you can copy everything (to a certain extent), nothing will stop another company (lets say Yahoo, or Microsoft) to do the same, and have the same information available, maybe even by copying it from Google. It just sounds to me that they are afraid of change. Creativity does not by definition depend on money. Why would there be thousands of art blogs, musicians, and writers who just publish it all for free. Some of them are really good, or even mainstream and could sell, but the commercial copyright industry just has no interest since they already have a few others, and profit margins would just go down when you add one more.
for Microsoft if after this kind of rumors, it does not sell out at all. And to do this thing around Christmas is really not a good idea anyway. People are not going to wait till the end of januari before they can buy a Christmas present for their kids. They will buy another console, or they will wait for the next birthday/vacation.
You could be right there. There are different management kind of people:
- The builders (Your description of Jobs)
- The maintainers: Somebody running Walmart
If you are right, Jobs exit at Pixar could mean a nice new business with fresh ideas.
Yes, like somebody telling a joke, and then discovering that they forgot the clue. Some people must have lots of "You spelled this wrong" messages in their list. Just give it up. My spelling will not get better from my posts on/., certainly not by random comments on it.
Except that he put a link to a form, and not to a way to get rid of it. Looking further into the sony website the code used seems to originate from http://www.xcp-aurora.com/ . Maybe that is the root of all problems. Sue Sony -> Sony sue Aurora -> Lawyers will get rich and happy.
With my age in the seventies, people would probably not even be shocked with the image you sketch here.

Money in certain circles is equal to power. Bill Gates has more money than Larry Ellison, and if you see and hear Larry, it certainly looks like that irritates the hell out of him, so for Larry money equals power. The other way around: Bill Gates does not seem to care, but at the same time displays his wealth with huge donations to research on malaria, and to the Bill and Melissa Gates foundation, which I think is a great way to display your wealth. Maybe Jobs is also the person who wants more power, and having read parts of the unofficial unauthorized biography of Jobs (by some journalist), and than mainly the pieces describing is character, power means a lot to Jobs. Since money does equal power to a certain extent, it can be that it satisfies that part of his personality, even if it doesn't matter to the wealth he displays. Seeing the current billionaires who count, displaying wealth is for the kids mainly (Paris ea). The big IT tycoons do not really display their wealth, except in gadgets (-:. The billionaire with most display of wealth is I think Donald Trump, who loves his private jet(s?), cars and names on the buildings. So in my opinion more money for Jobs would satisfy his ego, but would not change his appearance to the outside world in any way. And for the last part: Why should he. Turtlenecks and jeans are probably more comfortable than a suit (only turtlenecks is soo seventies (and don't dare to call it retro, will ya)).
I did research the multiple of virus before determining to use virus instead of virri. According to wikipedia under virii, there is no official multiple of virus in latin. Virii should be the multiple if you follow the rules. The gues of the latin experts is however that virus is an exception in the very regular latin language. So for this one word you are wrong. For the rest: I am not a native english speaker, so there are enough other spelling errors which you can nag about next time.

Pixar For Sale?

· Score: 3, Informative
If the company is up for sale, I guess more than just Disney will be interested, despite the things the article mentions as pros for cooperation with Disney. One other I already can think of is Warner Bros (who owns them?).
The current market cap is $5.9Billion, Jobs owns 50% : $3Billion on your bankaccount can make the difference. Maybe he can fetch double of that, plus a bonus from the other share holders for doing such a great job. Probably some of pixar personel will be happy too because of stockoption plans, making them rich overnight in case of a sale.
#Billion.... on my bankaccount $3 would make the difference (sad LOL).
That somebody is looking at pictures of my broken bones on a 2.5" screen, and than make decisions based on that. Really comfy feeling. Even when you zoom in, the image stays small. I opt for the same software but than used on a 12 to 14" screen on a tablet PC. Still not too expensive, but just a bit bigger so details show up a bit better.
Something wrong, dump slackware in a partition and get the whole thing running again in no time. Also downloading & compiling a new kernel in slack means you will most likely have a kernel which will run your system. Try the same in SuSE and you really have trouble with the load of modules without sources present.
The flying cars are around, you just have to attach the right engine on yours. Somewhere in the small print in the manual it says: To make this car your 2001 model flying car, attach one space shuttle booster to the bottom of the car and ignite the booster by starting your car. (Electrical wiring is sold seperately from the booster and the car)
Something which I apparently need to find, because this style of ads is around more and more.
About the layout: On/. I sometimes read the ads (google ad or top banner). On a site with a design like the onion, it is just to confusing to get even interested in what they have to tell. I do not think that constitutes good design. If you mix that with what you mention, a new style in doing what they were good at, they are really on the dangerous edge of loosing their public.
So if we let Khoi go ahead, we will have to click "skip ad" everytime we enter too? The onion is unreadable anyway, but I guess that is the trend: Make it unreadable so people will accidentilly click on the ads?

No social engineering by seducing (l)users to click on a link. Real virus multiply themselves!
So what is the issue with this?
Yes, that was the idea about OpenSource: If you don't like it, you can change it.

At about the same frequency. Now you can do a lasershow in the cloud of smoke. Does that count as research too?
