Ray to Joel: Yah, as if!
http://www.ozzie.net/blog/stories/2002/09/03/toJoelOnPlatforms.html
Ray's arguments come down to:
'I know s/w industry history better than you ... because I made it.'
Good point.
'Our unannounced OEM program is not ready for prime time. It soon will
be' meaning it's Joel's call whether he wants to run the sales-person
gauntlet and spend a couple months inking an OEM deal. Extra points for use
of Joel-rebuttal to announce OEM program.
'We probably charge our partners too much... whatever' What, you
want our VC's to *starve*?
I think Joel should consider himself rebutted. I can't believe he posted
his platform article without actually contacting sales ( did he? ). I
expect better from him. Groove announced from day one that they would
unbundle their DLLs for OEM inclusion. While I'm not convinced the Groove's
OEM stuff is not vapor, if Joel wants to complain about the price that's
another matter entirely.

Solaris for x86 - wishful thinking
http://promo.search.com.com/search?dauU&layout=story
I don't have too much sympathy for folks who relied on x86 Solaris and
demand that it continues. That's like getting mad at Microsoft for ditching
J++. Some things are just inevitable - you've got to put some serious
blinders on to ignore the politics behind Sun vs. Intel when making a
technical decision to use x86 Solaris. IIRC Sun offered to sell the code to
the users if they could come up with enough cash. But no, the users want
Sun to subsidize their poor platform decision, because it's not like they
have alternatives for *nix-on-86, right?

Bayesian filtering POP Proxy
http://www.usethesource.com/Software/02/08/31/1917223.shtml
I want to start reading from my e-smith's IMAP server using emacs on my
laptop. I'm using Mozilla, and it is incredibly frustrating not having
Cloudmark getting rid of all my spam. I'd like to implement one of the
Bayesian spam perl modules... This proxy looks promising, but I don't want
to do POP.
