NASA's Nebula cloud descends on Washington

,----[ Quote ]
| Nebula runs Eucalyptus using Linux and the XEN 
| and KVM open source hypervisors. It also makes 
| use of MySQL and the open source RabbitMQ 
| messaging system, used to communicate between 
| virtual machines and to push information down 
| to end user browsers, according to Rabbit 
| Technologies CEO Alexis Richardson. 
| Richardson's outfit was recently purchased by 
| VMware's SpringSource division.

Being evil online is fun, but is it really worth the thrill?

| For the past few years, Iâve always tried to 
| use Linux because I wanted to see what a freely 
| created, communally built operating system 
| could do.
| 
| Right now, Iâm using Mac OS X on my laptop, 
| because I can. Once again, itâs an operating 
| system built by Apple (which just this week is 
| in a face-off with a journalist who bought one 
| of its prototype phones and published details 
| of its hardware).
| 
| But, honestly, I think I prefer Linux: my 
| MacBookâs fans are whirring off their axles in 
| an attempt to chill OS Xâs overenthusiastic 
| feature set, whereas with Linux the whole thing 
| stayed cool and responsive.

NASA + Wikipedia = OpenLuna

,----[ Quote ]
| "Space: the final frontier." The folks at the
| OpenLuna project take that line to heart.
| OpenLuna is an open source, wiki-based attempt
| to design a leaner, meaner, public driven moon
| mission. As with any open source project, they
| encourage everyone to participate. When they
| run into questions, problems and challenges,
| they pose them to the crowd and invite people
| from every field to weigh in.
