![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} Thinking about the future of internet -- Comment()
I plan to write an article about the future of internet. What are the new uses of networks after five years, or after 20 years? What current projects will transform the net as we know it today? There are several interesting topics worth checking, and of course quite a few treatises have already been written on this topic. But I want to learn for myself, so I try to read a lot besides these treatises. Also, I have to schedule visits to discuss these topics with networking specialists in Finland.

Installing Panther -- Comment()
I just received a review copy of Panther from Apple. I'm installing the system on my 600 MHz iBook to see how well it performs on an older system. First I have to see how long the installation takes. Update: it took 42 minutes for the install to go through and the login window to appear. I tweaked the installation a bit (custom Archive and Install setup), which took some minutes, so the real time for the installation was a bit over 30 minutes. Update 2: apparently I was too hasty: the login window appeared but then the installer continued and asked for Install Disk 2. So this will take still some time. Now the installer is apparently installing the iApps (iMovie currently). I'll skip these comments and wait for Panther to start. Am I impatient? Yes!

Addendum on FUD at Jargon File Resources -- Comment()
SCO linked to the definition on FUD in their memorandum. Eric Raymond updated the entry, and wrote: "In October 2003, SCO's lawyers filed a memorandum in which they actually had the temerity to link to the web version of this entry in furtherance of their claims. Whilst we appreciate the compliment of being treated as an authority, we can return it only by observing that SCO has become a nest of liars and thieves compared to which IBM at its historic worst looked positively angelic."
