- Sun: OpenSolaris 'pretty freaking amazing'
Pretty reasonable interview in The Register. - A passenger 'bill of rights' is passed! (In Canada)
Of course, any system also has embedded within it by implication the game that exploits it. In Europe for example, I believe airlines now have passengers board aircraft even though they know there is no available take-off slot just so that they don't have to be compensated under the equivalent EU rules. We'll have to see how Canada's rules work out in practice. - Businesses Can Win the Competition Against Open-Source Technology
Reactionary dinosaur thinking from Stanford. A smarter set of academics would suggest using open source technology to win in competition against the incumbents. - You'll get closer to the source
I'd forgotten all about this interview for The Age in Australia. It loses a little precision in conciseness but overall it's pretty cute. - The Two Classes of Airport Contraband
Excellent explanation of why confiscating pasta sauce and shampoo actually makes us all less secure at the airport.

LiveMink: The Thirsty Bear Tapes, 2 of 2
If you survived the knockabout discussion in Tuesday's podcast, you'll want to give this second episode a chance. It was recorded during JavaOne this spring at the Sun Open Source Party ("unBOF") in the Thirsty Bear pub in San Francisco. It features Redmonk founder James Governor, Joe Hildebrand of Jabber (acquired by Cisco since the recording), Ross Turk of SourceForge, Silona Bonewald of the League of Technical Voters (among other things) and myself. We discuss all sorts of random stuff in a random way - hope you like it!
