Using Red Hat, as I often do sometimes, feels like doing battle in comparison. Ubuntu seems to be becoming the linux distro of choice for a lot of people, and so far, it’s my favorite. Ubuntu took the best that Debian had to offer, and left the weaknesses behind, I think. Anyway, I think it’s worth checking out.

Making apples-to-apples comparisons of these systems was one of the most difficult analytical tasks I’ve taken on in a while (and, actually much of the heavy lifting of designing the analysis was done by Laura Quinn), and until you attempt such a thing, please be somewhat tempered in your complaints about it. Now the security issue.

Toward the end, a young man, who worked with urban kids of color on media and music, commented that he didn’t really know how to get access to the kinds of things available, and he noticed how few people of color were in the room. But their number pale in comparison to, say, the plethora of, say, network sniffing tools, for instance.

My point is that companies like Microsoft have almost nothing to do with providing good software — the marginal gain from selling better software is miniscule in comparison with the potential income from spreading some FUD and reaping the benefits as everyone re-evaluates their risk positions. 2 Michelle Murrain 06.03.07

I hate to be so blunt, but it is true, at least in comparison to the ones on the Mac. I used to have this great system where I used the Mac Addressbook, which would nicely sync with my cell phone. It also integrated well with Mail.app and iChat. It was great. First problem: Linux address books … suck. There are basically three options.

Last week, I prototyped four exhibit ideas with the Experience Music Project in Seattle. I think in the future I'll try to always test several things in parallel--it was a good experience both for the ego and for the part of my brain that can make better judgments of things in comparison to each other than in isolation.

Yes, there are licensing fees, but they pale in comparison to what it would cost if we had to rely on an open source product and maintain it ourselves. It’s my understanding that none of the major non-profit SaaS players use open source tools. For example, we (DonorPerfect Online), use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for the database engine.

This dovetails nicely into last week's post about the idea that games may be a part of our cultural experience that is more general than just having fun, that making up games in the subway is as common as listening to music or rereading the ESL advertisements again and again. Stasis provides a different kind of game environment.

We typically see organizations that do peer-to-peer fundraising not only help create a sense of community, but they also raise about 2x as much in comparison to other digital fundraising initiatives. Unfortunately, concerts have ground to a halt, disappointing music lovers and leaving musicians with an unexpectedly free schedule.
