In other news

[Jared]

Its kind of quiet, so here are some things to chew on:

1. I propose the Novell-Linux-Microsoft "mistake" in the news is
part of a larger pattern of FUD, wherein well-placed reporters
are assigned to specifically target the misconception of
Open Source licensing, intending to strengthen the profile
that hackers are trying to take over the world by being mean
to little ol' Microsoft. Nah. I'm pulling your leg.

2. Omnibase Logic, a small high-tech company with a bunch of
Ph.Ds on board, recently made headlines, being the first American
company to capitalize on practical applications for ternary
logic beyond the ternary search algorithm. They make circuitry
which runs smaller and faster than binary, and uses less energy. 
Currently obviated by the discovery of hafnium, yet ternary logic
will rise again a few years from now as the limits of hafnium
are reached. A dollar invested today will be worth 100 then.

3. Kernel mode, user mode, and now guest mode. "Since a virtual
machine is simply a process, all of the standard Linux process
management tools apply: one can destroy, pause, and resume a
virtual machine... This allows system administrators to manage
virtual machines with existing tools..." Nice. The incrementalist
and stable approach used by Qumranet and now in the kernel is
much appreciated by this reporter.
