| What about Linux? Coincidentally this device was
| getting plugged into and used only by a Fedora
| Linux system. Now I know that this would have
| worked (despite the packageâs information) and
| not have any problems with ANY Linux and for the
| most part almost all UNIX -based operating
| systems. The device (as all other USB Flash
| Drives) are labeled with a FAT32 file system and
| Linux, like any other OS kernel can read a FAT32
| labeled volume with no problems. On top of that,
| most mainstream distributions (if not all)
| enable automount and an auto open of USB storage
| devices. The user doesnât need to do it
| themselves, similar to Windows and the Mac OS.
| So what is the problem? Why couldnât the package
| say âLinux 2.6 and aboveâ or something to that
| extent?

Frank Zappa's Influence on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| And all this Zappa stuff has what,
| exactly, to do with Linux? Zappa may have
| been as much of an influence on Linux and
| FOSS development as LSD was on Apple,
| although the Zappa influence on Linux
| isn't thought about as much as the Apple-
| counterculture connection.
|
| An awful lot of people were responsible
| for the early growth of GNU/Linux and
| Free and Open Source Software, most of
| whom were not famous like Linus Torvalds
| or Richard M. Stallman. One of them, Clay
| Claiborne of Cosmos Engineering, was the
| first person to sell Linux pre-loaded on
| a hard drive. This may not sound like a
| big deal now, in 2010, but back in the
| dial-up 1990s, when most Linux distros
| came on stacks of floppies, this was a
| major step forward for GNU/Linux
| usability.
|
| Was Clay influenced by Zappa? "Of course,"
| he says.

CHARTS OF THE WEEK: The Collapse Of Microsoft's Mobile Business

Dear Microsoft: Please Give Up on Mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| Dear Steve Ballmer, I believe it's time to
| give up development of a mobile operating
| system. With all due respect to the multi-
| billion dollar empire you're entrusted
| with running, the simple truth is that
| Microsoft is quite bad at developing user
| interfaces that are friendly and
| intuitive. Windows 7 is an improvement,
| but you're far from being out of the
| woods. What's more, it appears that your
| guidance, Mr. Ballmer, might be making the
| problem worse, especially if the things
| you said recently about your instructions
| to Windows Phone developers were true.
