150-300% ?? 1000%!!? wow, this apparently shows how dominant Linux is, and how crappy everything else is. We'll have to see it when it really happens though. How much more proof can the fud'ers need?
This is what happens when governments meddle with businesses, and I hope France's economy will collapse, just to teach them a lesson. When you throw in factors like this that make businesses move away, you throw the market off equilibrium. This is obviously not in France's best interests, and they will figure this out one way or another (hmm.. maybe not.. they're nott he brightest stars out there)
As these companies need low-cost solutions for the hardware in each of their netappliances, they are oging to need a chip with embedded linux! This goes along well with the company named Atmel that we had an article on earlier. They're expecting this market to multiply 150x. I bought my stock:)
Does this come with speech recognition software? If so, very cool! What is the progress on speech recognition in linux, anyhow? I haven't really looked into it or heard much about it. Thanks..
My boss just told me in a conversation "Many Americans are finding out that money isn't what's important.." and although I personally agree for myself, I think that most Americans have NOT realized this.
It's the happiness that counts for the job, not status or money. I work in a very lax and fun environment, and although i could go make 150% more somewhere else, why would i when i love my job and am comfortable where I'm at? Do what you like, take control of your job, and have a good time. Money is third to happiness and friends, and don't you forget that.

Son, let me remind you of the John Carmack Interview that was over at firingsquad.com. In the first part of his interview, John states why he likes Open Source, and gave a GREAT example. When he was fiddling with Quake 3 stuff, there was a certain driver that was open sourced in linux (possibly by ATI or Matrox) that was redrawing the screen in the wrong order, making things look poor. He fixed the few lines of code, sent it up on the CVS server, and boom, it got implemented and fixed. However, there was the same problem on the Macintosh driver, and of course it took way longer to get it fixed, if it did at all.
What i'm saying is that its going to be better for you to support open source drivers, because when something is wrong, some Godly wizard character like John Carmack (or myself!) is going to be able to fix it, and you now have 5 more FPS! It's very apparent what's better, and half-ass from any company is not good enough.

Right now I'm not exactly sure what to do. I already have an Asus V6600 Deluxe card with a GeForce in it, and paid 275 for it, a good amount of money. I'm not about to scrap it or sell it for 150 or whatever, especially if they can release good drivers, because this card does rock. What do you think? As much as I'd rather support a company that's doing the community better, I'm kinda screwed.

In order to make some of the Samba basics easier, are you working on a front-end, or with another group of programmers who work on that? I think it'll become important once smaller businesses begin to grasp Linux.

Although I partially agree and like your cynicism, it also angers me. This attitude doesn't get anyone very far, which is part of the problem.
If many geeks had as much confidence in their social abilities as they hade in their open source programming, then things would be different. Yes, a bit of a stereotype.
My point is that you have to get crazy out there and make it known what you want. You have to control your life. It's OK sometimes to consider yourself the center of the universe. Your happiness should come first. If you have to fight for that happiness, DO IT!
If you don't like your job, quit. Find something that makes you happy and do it. Don't let it own you, you have the skills to do better. It's the confidence and guts that needs to be stepped-up. If you don't like what your Congressman is doing, let him know. Not just a sleazy E-Mail, but LET HIM KNOW. There are things that could be done, and you're not going to get your way if you're 'slaving' 60 hours a week. Control your life and go for the gold, happiness is key! If someone or something is hurting your pursuit of happiness, do something. There's alwyas people behind you, and I'll be the first to say that I am.

Although I'm no pro, this is further proof that AMD is a GREAT investment. I bought as much of it as I could around when K7 was being talked about ($17/share), and now its gone up to around 50! At the rate they're moving, I don't see this company going anywhere but up. Two thumbs up for investor relations and profitability.

The End of Unix?

At this point of time within the Unix community, it[Unix and Unix-type systems] can be compared to a wild animal in the jungle. It is thriving, yet being naturally regulated by nature, and the open source movement. With linux and GPL, it is taking a true stride toward natural equilibrium.
And as animals like this must survive in the jungle by evolving, so will the Unix system. Especially with such a broad background and the amount of powerful work that can be done with it. It will change to meet the future's demand, just as anything else that is free will do. This system isn't going anywhere except the possible changing-room once in a while.

Here's the stipulations of trouble.. from paragraph 4a of their 'charter'/policy, and EACH of these things must take place:
(i) that the domain name registered by the respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and,
(ii) that the respondent has no legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and,
(iii) the domain name has been registered and used in bad faith.
Obviously this is a very judgemental thing. I hope that the 'judges' don't get into the hands of the wrong people, as this is a touchy issue for a lot of us.

Pi movie stirs up commotion

I read somewhere that so many things in the movie Pi (which is AMAZING, see it now!) were very alarming and true to many mathemeticians, and that it was very eye-opening, just not another made-up movie. Does anyone have any input on this, or any articles about it? pi's soundtrack is also very cool, two of the songs are named "(pi)r^2" and "2(pi)r".
Although a lot of the stuff in that movie went over my head, it was VERY thought provoking. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who slashdots
