from the we-love-open-source-but-hide-it-well dept. Bill Hilf,
Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager, got his answers to your questions back to
us in time to publish them just before the San Francisco LinuxWorld,
where he is speaking. Before you ask: Yes, Microsoft PR had a look at
his answers before he sent them. So if you have any follow-up questions
for Mr. Hilf, please post them below and I'll try to ask at least a few
of them in person at LinuxWorld.
Linux: Linux Feels Growing Pains
from the it-vs-management dept. Carl Bialik from the WSJ writes "As
Linux enters the mainstream, adopters 'are demanding many features found
on commercial software, including a large variety of add-on application
programs and management tools that are easy to use,' the Wall Street
Journal reports. 'How quickly open-source programs can narrow the gap
with commercial software is a hotly debated topic in the computer
industry. The transition may determine whether the technology will
continue its momentum, or stall in the face of tougher competition at
the heart of corporate computer networks.' Eric Singleton, chief
information officer at retailer Tommy Hilfiger Corp., which recently
switched its e-commerce site 'Tommy.com' from Linux to Microsoft
software, calls Linux 'a great product,' but adds, 'it's got to get the
final tier of reliability and predictability that I'm going to bet a
multi-billion dollar corporation's future on.'"
Endless death
Pharaoh Hatshepsut enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous reign.
She built magnificent temples, protected Egypt's borders and masterminded a highly
profitable trading mission to the mysterious land of Punt.
She should have been feted as one of the most successful of the 18th Dynasty kings.
Not everyone, however, was impressed by her achievements.
'The female king vanished from Egyptian history.'
Soon after her death in 1457 BC, Hatshepsut's monuments were attacked,
her statues dragged down and smashed and her image and titles defaced.
The female king vanished from Egyptian history.
She would remain lost until, almost three thousand years later, modern
Egyptologists reconstructed her damaged inscriptions and restored her to her rightful
dynastic place.
The Egyptians believed that the spirit could live beyond the grave, but only if some remembrance
- a body, a statue, or even a name - of the deceased remained in the land of the living.
Hatshepsut had effectively been cursed with endless death. Who could have done such a terrible thing, and why?
Tuthmosis III, stepson and successor to Hatshepsut, seems the obvious culprit,
but we should not condemn him unheard. There are two major crimes to be considered before we draw any
conclusion.
