Windows Header Japan Joins Global Pressures on Microsoft By Yuri Kageyama, AP Business Writer April 1, 2004 eWEEK.com Special Report: Microsoft Trials TOKYO (AP)The surprise raid by Japanese anti-monopoly authorities on Microsoft Corp.'s Tokyo offices was impeccably timedbarely a month before the European Union slapped a $613 million fine on the company. The message from this country's Fair Trade Commission was clear: Japan is not about to sit idle as other global powers raise concerns over Microsoft's suspected abuses of its domination in the computer software business. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1559525,00.asp -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Book: The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric Raymond
by Trevor Warren 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Product: The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric Raymond Publisher: Addison-Wesley & Prentice Hall PTR Address: Pearson Education, 1 Lake Street, #3K17 Upper Saddle River, New Jersey 07458 URL: www.pearsoned.com About the Author Eric S. Raymond is, with Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman, one of the three most influential thinkers/leaders in the open-source movement. In 1997, Eric published a technical paper called "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" that explained the astonishing success of Linux as a product of the transparent peer-review process surrounding its development. This paper rocked the world; it shook up a lot of established ideas about software development, gave Linux advocates powerful new arguments, motivated Netscape to release the source code for the Mozilla browser and, some say, helped trigger the tech-stock boom of 1998-1999. Eric maintains over thirty software projects and was for over a year rated the #1 hacker in the world by a hundred thousand of his peers on the SourceForge community development site. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=7489&mode=thread&order=0 -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/
