'Launching a software service to every platform simultaneously would have been launch suicide'
Why is it I have no problem viewing media on other sites except the BBC, how is it Youtube has no problem launching a cross platform service. What possible technical difficulties are there in running streaming video, none...
"the interface is sufficiently proprietary that these kids aren't going to learn how to use a standard GUI"
How is it proprietary, it runs on Redhat, anyone can write to the specs. The interface specs are published here, so anyone can write to it, how does that make it proprietary. How does the OLPC not have a real operating system. It runs a striped down version of Red Hat linux on the Sugar OS">OLPC Human Interface.
As for a standard GUI, once kids have used a GUI then they can quickly adapt to the 'industry standard', by standard I assume you mean the Microsoft GUI, the one you have to go on £700 courses to figure out..:)
'Kudos to Microsoft for supporting this platform', Microsoft don't want to support the platform, it want to kill it as it would mean less XP licenses sold..
Re:Exactly what OLPC needs - a real operating system
The other day, I picked up the 'telephone' and a voice on the other end advised me to invest in a South African diamond mine, well next thing I know, I re-mortgaged the house and gave the lot to this anonymous voice over the phone. When will Sophos provide a solution to protect me from the 'telephone'...
"Brett Jolly said he planned to have an accredited gemmologist verify within 48 hours whether the gem was a diamond."
"We put it on a garage grinder and the thing won't scratch, so what can it be?"
"The huge stone, which was believed to be the world's largest diamond, is a fake.. Jolly.. confirmed that he had tested the alleged diamond in the company of a journalist on Thursday"
Like why don't he hand it over to De beers and have them test it, before calling for 'investors' in his diamond mine, where can I still l sign up..:)

"regular use of profanity.. among staff, enabling them to express their feelings.. and develop social relationships"
You mean now the workers can swear back at the managers, as distinct to being swore at. If so then why is it that when I called my 'team leader' a fat bastard, he got me fired. It was like this, I was on the call desk and he happened to cross my field of vision and I sub-vocalized the expletive. Those headphone mikes are so soo sensitive and besides he shouldn't have been listening in on my calls anyhow.
The danger with using profanity is you can't just switch it off in front of the customers, as a French/Algerian receptionist in a Hotel once put it when addressing me, 'you stupid fucking (insert nationality) bastard '.., yes taco I mean you..;).
You see it was something she picked up in the back office whenever I was referred to. That was also about the time they used to send me on racial sensitivity courses:)
The only use profanity can be put to, is in places like the army, where it is used in the breakdown of recruits in furtherance of turning them into complaint automatons. It's verbally directed agression and that's all. Whether directed at you or you have to listen to it all day. I wonder does professor Baruch have any experience in the real world... the kvetch...

Is there any disinterested law official anywhere on the planet that is concerned with what is going on here. A seller of inferior software facilitates the formation of a patent troll and extortion racket. It then uses threats from said same company to intimidate people into using its own product and scare them away from using competitors product.
"During my time at Red Hat, I came to understand that open source developers perform their best work when sound legal advice is available to them," said Webbink. "I look forward to working with an organization that provides this essential role to the Free and Open Source Software community."

What they should design is a small engine-less glider that sits on top of a conventional rocket and in an emergency a small solid fuel rocket would propel it and the occupants to safety.

The Anarchist's Cookbook is part based on a Spanish language urban guerrilla warfare manual that the CIA cooked up when they were promoting unrest in central America. I wonder will they be arresting the head of the CIA anytime soon. This is just part of Bush's phony war on terrorism where as what they are really about is shutting down free discourse on the Internet. You see you can't oppose the US/Israeli policy in the mid-east without being a terr'ist..
