Well SAP just proudly presents, more then 1000 Customers are running mission critical Systems on Linux. For those who do not know, moving a Company to SAP can easily cost millions of USD. Money is not a primary issue. Stability is! So do not put MS and SAP into the same spot, MS does not work in the Linux-World. Mr. Agassi is a manager, who just farted through the wrong hole.

This Article is not good journalism, as you can see from the comments below. A real Journalist would have asked more critical questions.
Well before we convert to your optical CPUs, I might wanna see
this in Massproduction! Why havn't I heard of this anymore?
It might be a little offtopic, but seriously what does all this innovation do, if noone is making products from it? So how does slowing down the light make it more interesting for building Computerparts? Well this might be a question for the scientists at IBM. They might face this question every day. Why not give more specific answeres? Anyhow the only really interesting question might be: When can I have a Beowulf-Cluster of these?

Do you have to put that there? Is this really needed?
... but it seems non-compliant to unix standards. Anyhow, it will not run on NetBSD nor on Linux. Some guy told me to use a MS operating System, so I tried out some newer version of DOS, I think it was 5.0, but still it is telling me something about windows. So I looked it up and came across WinE. I used this to start the installation, but still no success. I think it will not be able to establish a market position, if nobody can install it. Am I missing something?
I had been writing a lot of HTML-sites in ed (not the unix-ed, but a patched down turbo-pascal-editor) in DOS back in 1998. I had to go to my dad's WindowsComputer to view the page. I did that with a floppy disk, since our Novell-LAN (yes at home, 4 boys) had been removed 1995 it think. But the internet was interesting and I also wanted to try some server site scripting. Since I have been Offline, I couldn't just go and find too many alternatives. I thought about getting some kind of IIS "free" copy. Then I saw a magazine and it had a set of two CD's in it. I was curious, what this Linux thing would be like. I bought the Mag and installed it. It fuked my Harddrive badly and I lost all my data. Well, except for those I did save on my 5.25" Disks before. I remembered, there were different flavours of Linux and so I went to a iCafe to look them up. I had no Idea where to find it. On my way I stopped at the shop to get some pepsi, but instead I bought a different Mag and ran back home to install it. I did it worked and had a free webserver on it. Lot's of nice and funny editors, that could even highlight my code. I went on doing a lot of PHP later and finally found my way to C (I dropped Pascal 1994).
Remembering all this, I could not work on Windows anymore, it lacks of everything. It wasn't until 2000 I found out there was a MS windows version of Apache... I don't really care anymore:-)
Yes, everyone saying people in the EU are less free then those in the USA might please post here, after RTFA. After Posting your humble opinion, you may want to reconsider searching for more information about the wiretapping in Europe.
Thank you. I would be pleased to see some people to stop spamming/. with this topic over and over again with this stupid topic.
There are a lot of players for the office range, not on the field. I would have loved a comparison between those :
Semperons, Celerons, Transmeta, Via, Geode...
It's not like they wouldn't make any sense. It's just a different league.

This seems to not be intended to be listened to by international Audience. He is talking quite fast and not too easy. a written form would be easier for people with other language backgrounds. I can live with it, as I'm used to the sound of american english, but a written form could help a lot.
People talking about non-renewable and renewable energy production (I know, better is conversion), always forget to think about geothermal powerplants. Remember? More than 90% of the Earth is hotter then 1000C !!! Back, when I did work for a geothermal emergy company, I had a closer look at this and it is really a forgotten resource. With todays oil-prices, the investment should pay off within 8 Years, even earlier as the Oil-prices are going to go up more likely, then down. Of course, Island has free energy, for beeing in a lucky position, but in Europe, USA or elsewhere, you would just have to drill deeper, which increases the initial price, but hey in 20 Years, we are out of oil, and you can lay back and what the whole thing on your autark Powersupply. Also large Powerplants could power cities plus provide cheap heating to the residents.
I know, you can't build a geothermic CAR! But thin of this, standartized Batteries + standartized baterie-mounting = electric-fuel-stations, where powering up happens just by exchanging the batteries. This can even be faster then fueling by hand! So I could live with a low range! Of lets say 100 KM. Plus, you can charge your Car over night in you garage and by day at work (new perks:-)
Have you guy ever considered, that the USA is also a member of the UN? It's not like they will have the internet taken away! It's more like their Ideas are to be facing a democratic system, rather than one Nation to rule them all.
What the hell are you afraid of? Oh sorry, I forgot, democracy has been removed two elections ago. What whould I expect from a country without a democraticly elected President...
Will I be notified, if they find out I'm a victim??

Since there are no licenses, OpenSource is much sheeper.
