Ok ok... adoption was a bad choice of words. But that would be interesting too. The point is, the lines don't represent the market, but a pipe dream.

"Statistics are important information. What you can read from the statistics below is that Internet Explorer 6 is the dominating browser, XP is the most popular operating system, and most users are using a display with 1024x768 pixels or more, with a color depth of at least 65K colors."
Does IE6 look like the dominating browser on the map? No. It looks like Opera should look on the map...
They should base arrow boldness on adoption... oh wait, that would show that IE 6 still has a majority market share. It looks like from the diagram that it is puny compared to the double defended bold line "POW" of Firefox. Dont get me wrong, I love firefox... but...
To take the war analogy a bit further. If you don't have accurate intelligence then you cannot grasp the battle, cannot fight the battle, and cannot win the battle.
RTA. His test case was India where cow dung is already and largely used for fuel. This is a simple repurposing of an existing fuel that is already being burnt. The water unit would obviously not be distributed to areas with adequate water supplies... I find your arguments narrow to say the least.
To address the broader issue though, Kamen is attempting to start from the ground up, rather than the top down. Some may find this objectionable, but I personally I think it is the right mix between technology, economic and environmental impact. Putting the power literally in the hands of the villagers.
Don't be fooled. They will likely burn this anyway, it is the fuel of choice, especially in rural India.

Point taken about 'audit official steps', although I'm still at a loss as to what the audit would be without something like it. I'm no expert in the audit process, but my suggestion centered around a programmatic audit which would remove much personal liability, and threshold analysis to get the project back on track rapidly. Not every line of code needs looked at. Analysis could be against source, but it could also be against machine code which may be a better test. It would lead to something like the top 10% of the code (blocks even, not whole files) ordered by the highest risk/'probabilty-of-copy' ranking.

They already admitted that if you RTA. I think the point is it is impossible to audit code (except statisically for oddities perhaps) for potential copying, without having what you were potentially copying. If you read the article on their site they already have developerers who've admitted access, what I'm suggesting would be even less code examination than the specific modules that have already (and admittedly) been looked into.

No as someone mentioned a third party or 'off hours developer in a foriegn country' could run the audit, and pass on the report to the reactos team, not the leaked code.

It seems like all they would have to do is programmatically (there are existing programs) that do a statistical analysis of the source of the leaked code vs. internal code... A couple hours later the comparison would be done. It would find even what seems like minor copying, and could be set with thresholds. Then they could audit those hits for credibility... They could be done in with this 'reboot' in weeks. It would be a lot faster and probably just as effective.
Also it would prevent much reading of "leaked" source which seems to burn ones eyes...
Well here's what a boycott of Activision means: the group will no longer buy Activision games. They arn't boycotting GUN, they're boycotting Activision... thus your comment is... my favorite part.
What is funny about this... is that people modded this insightful (well it is) but it's really another slam on Geeks which makes it ironic, and very funny.

this would be funny. ok it is funny, but there are probably people here with toasters that do run linux.... Toasters?
i think its funny that / thinks he is joking
