Is the Linux community afraid of Opensolaris?

Okay,okay ... I know the headline is a little bit provoking. But when you think about some comments from Linux proponents you could think so. In the last few weeks I've heard one sentence quite often: "Why you you still develop Solaris? You should contribute to Linux!" from people administering Linux systems. And you could read at other places, that Solaris is irrelevant, that there is nothing worth of mentioning it or even for an integration to Linux. Just think about the Zemlin quotations! Or several other comments of proponents of Linux.

Possible Discovery of Supersymmetric Particles or Premature Hype?

Okay, so this one may get a little hairy. Over the weekend, I caught whiff of this story in some back-and-forth between Woit's Not Even Wrong blog and Motl's Reference Frame blog, but wanted to stay out of it until the dust settled a bit and I had time to absorb exactly what was going on from some less biased sources.

No job is worth sacrificing professionalism

Okay, it's not that he hates the people, but rather the term "freelancer". Sitepoint asks Should You Retire the Word “Freelancer?” and Arron at Organized Chaos agrees. He argues that freelancers are "cheap", providing low quality sites for low ball prices. And that they are not professional, wearing casual clothes to meetings, building pages in sub par tools, and so on.

Glenrothes byelection blog

Glenrothes, 8.30am: Okay, let's be honest. If Labour's Lindsay Roy wins when the result is announced here in the early hours of Friday morning, or if the SNP's Peter Grant prevails, demolishing a majority of 10,664, there won't be euphoric crowds on the street celebrating the dawn of a new political era. And they probably won't be declaring a national holiday in Kenya, or anywhere else.

Improving Code Consistency and Standards Compliance with Eclipse Preferences

There are a few themes that recur frequently when discussing software development projects. Money, quality, budget, performance, expense, maintenance, cost.... Okay, some themes recur more often than others. In fact, cost is both the key driver and largest obstacle to project success. Although most people agree that code quality processes reduce the cost of software development and maintenance, these processes are usually the first to be scaled back when deadlines begin to loom and progress is almost invariably less than originally planned. Even though I can go on and on about the cause of these plan versus reality deltas (and I have in the past), today I'll focus on how you can best survive the reduction in time available to review code by making code easier to review.

Good Physics Books For a Math PhD Student?

An anonymous reader writes "As a third-year PhD math student, I am currently taking Partial Differential Equations. I'm working hard to understand all the math being thrown at us in that class, and that is okay. The problem is, I have never taken any physics anywhere. Most of the problems in PDEs model some sort of physical situation. It would be nice to be able to have in the back of my mind where this is all coming from. We constantly hear about the heat equation, wave equation, gravitational potential, etc. I'm told I should not worry about what the equations describe and just learn how to work with them, but I would rather not follow that advice. Can anyone recommend physics books for someone in my position? I don't want to just pick up a book for undergrads.

Editorial: Preaching to the choir by endorsing Obama

If national poll data is anything to be trusted, we’re about to preach to the choir. Among college students across the country, Sen. Barack Obama appears to be favored by more than 20 points. Just the same, we’re okay with joining that chorus of college voices supporting him. The man deserves it. We urge you to make Barack Obama America’s 44th president.
