Luci Sandor’s blog

Get it now!

It isn’t ready because the Command.SCREEN won’t be shown in Sun’s emulator and because it has been compiled with a missing bracket. I can’t believe the last one would ever be possible.

I am still wondering if what I’m reading is true. Will Linus impose a tax on kernel usage? Did Hani just stopped blogging? (OK, I didn’t bought that…) Did Microsoft agreed to pay Sun 2 bn.$ and to share IP? Will Sun invest on spherical CPUs? Did SCO released 2 security bulletins regarding their Linux implementation?

Even The Register had some "funny" stories.

I hate these things happening. If we, the geeks, do make a mockery out of IT, there’s no surprise that classic media took back the power, as in AOL/ Time Warner story. How the heck do we suppose someone will ever take serious the IT professionals? (esp. after they wore those clothes during the dotcom boom).

I don’t know if this is an April’s Fool joke, but it seems that Linus announced that, starting with 2.7 kernel, he will charge 1$ per CPU and .25$ per driver will be sent to their writers. It seems that Linux will cost at least 5$ and I wonder if they do not overcharge.

If I could, I would definitely add a poll about Linux’ right price.

Taking a look at the most downloaded programs from SourceForge, there are at least 6 P2P clients in the top 10. In turn, those proggies are used to download pirated closed source applications. It is like the OS people, realizing they can’t fight, started a starvation campaign against closed sources coders.
