The obvious place this would be used is large wall screens for home use(if it is high enough quality).
Most probably there will be brands of milk or cereal that do not use throw away silicon. There is nearly always another option to buying throw-away stuff. It is not always the easiest route though. I look forward to having a whole room covered with screens, but I won't buy those milk cartons.
I think a better option, if I may borrow from Gibson, is a pair of Virtual Light glasses that project information onto real life surfaces. Then you only have to make one piece of silicon, the glasses themselves. And when you take off the glasses, reality. Maybe we could ban all non cyberspace adds to boot!
I understand that a couple years ago, some education department downloaded the entire internet(for education/historical purposes). Anyone know how large it was?
In the universe of Slashdot this post is an infinitesimally small dot on an infinitesimally small dot, but that's beside the point. I sure hope this will be open source, or at least will accept moderated contributions. Don't You?
I think your brain fell out while your mouth was open.
The problem with your argument is the Macintosh commercials. They claim that smart people use Macs, and all historical genuises would have also; yet they stifle people from tinkering. Learning to use Linux is learning your computer at a level that the high profile OS's don't allow. Not to mention that Linux users fix bugs and release fixes faster than either Mac or Win(by far).
Anyways, if you want to run UNIX on PowerMac G3 hardware, shell out $499 The problem is I don't want to shell out $500 for a Mac flavored *nix that is not open.
Security? How about being able to examine your security code for backdoors? Can you do that with a closed or half open OS? Are you sure the folks at OS incorporated hold your security interests in a high regard?
