Public is not just what can be viewed by others, but a fragile set of social conventions about what behaviors are acceptable and appropriate.

They may succeed before we even put up a fight. We are all public defenders. How to Install Remix OS: Android on Your Computer.

Microsoft has admitted to something that used to be unthinkable: using Linux to run some of its own operations.
In a blog post on Thursday, Microsoft Azure networking principal architect Kamala Subramaniam explained how the company developed a new software system, dubbed Azure Cloud Switch, for running the networking gear that Microsoft’s cloud service depends on. Microsoft has cozied up to the open source community in recent years. Network switches typically come with their own software baked right into the product.
The problem Microsoft faced, according to Subramaniam, was integrating the software that ships with those switches with the wide variety of software it uses to run its Azure cloud service. So Microsoft had to build its own switch software—and it turned to Linux to do just that. Ubuntu: I Am Because You Are. Since Descartes, Western philosophy has grappled in metaphysical agony with the notion of reunifying the object and the self.
Cartesian dualism, as it has become known — the separation of spirit from body, reason from empiricism, thought from experience — has haunted the obsessive riddle-making of Western thinkers for almost 400 years.

Why Ubuntu’s creator still invests his fortune in an unprofitable company. When Mark Shuttleworth founded Canonical in 2004, he made a promise to his staff: "You can count on me for two years.
" The idea was "to get the team to relax" and focus on the newly created Ubuntu operating system. Shuttleworth wanted to eliminate the pressure of becoming a blockbuster business overnight. He issued no ultimatums. And although Shuttleworth wanted Canonical to be self-sustaining, he didn't threaten to abandon Ubuntu if it lost money. "When we started, I told the team two years," he recently told Ars. Webinar: What is a Worker Self-Directed Nonprofit? - Sustainable Economies Law Center.
