We use lots of CDs and DVDs for installing software. While CDs have many disadvantages one other disadvantage is about waste. One idea could be to have a device that can be programmed to behave as a CD/DVD drive and a mechanism to simulate inserting different disks.
The closest solution I notice as under development project is http://renosite.com/ - 'USB CD Emulator'.
I was thinking to combine iPod & iPodLinux and additional software for converting iso to cd drive and other UI part to select the ISO to be presented.
I do have iPod 20GB Fourth Generation (Gray scale). The batery is gone or going... If I can get it to work in the above fashion, I am sure this can be a great break through. I might be able to get funding for greening efforts too.
Rich countries are preparing to pay poor countries in exchange for carbon credit to save forests. Looks pretty? Think again. Why should the poor country not use their land, including forests, the way they would like? Why not the rich countries re-purpose some of their own land - like the corn fields and 18 acres of land at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for carbon offsets?
If the corn field owner and the owner of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue feel that their home/livelihood is disturbed - well, they would be correct. So, would the poor person having their livelihood is taken away....
I am not a proponent for deforestation - I feel exactly the opposite. All I am concerned is rich people making poorer people pay for the rich's mistakes and arrogant use of the earth.
Some times, paying the poor too can make them further poor - by making them beg. The riches need to pay as fine in the name of 'fine' for their bad addiction / behavior. The payment should come in the form of reducing their own carbon foot print - say walking to work for one week by every one in a town. Dry their cloths in cloth line. Stop buying new cloths for the next 4 years - until you had to wear torn cloths for your wedding and it is acceptable in the society (sorry if you are offended...).

Reasons for moving from closed source to open source could be for
Company wanting to benefit from community contribution in terms of code addition, code modification, code review & product testing
Company folding - so, open source the product
Older product or version of product
Company getting good will
Opening more usage of the product
Recently, I am suspecting some companies could take their code closed source - from open source. I am suspecting dual license can enable this to happen.
My fear is MySQL, used by many companies in production, going closed source. One theory (or did I read somewhere?), was that Oracle purchasing Sun was for MySQL. If it had purchased, MySQL directly, people could call foul easily.
Facebook is using MySQL in their storage. And it is really lots of them. I don't think Oracle would be happy about it. One way to twist Facebook's arm could be by offering Oracle for Facebook at a reduced price or threaten to stop fixing/improving MySQL.
Well.. microsoft seems to be doing it again. Using monopoly in Windows OS and joining hands with citrix($8B) - crushing vmware($22B).
vmware is the market leader in virtualization. Microsoft is a late starter into the field. Virtualization products/concept is catching on - Microsoft can't stand to see some one else making more money in software.....
