Could change the threat to some other title, but maybe being involved with Google SOC is a back door to such activities already. Google does sell user data to the US and other high priced entities... As well, they work with dark operations within our own government, and admit it publicly. And people still line up to use their search and ad services world wide in droves. Why is it that Haiku is participating in such activities, supported in part with tools like SOC, I have no idea! --- On Wed, 3/23/11, Arnold <arnoldvanh@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Arnold <arnoldvanh@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [haiku] Re: Haiku has been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2011!

The real issue to me is when is BeOS/Haiku going to be made into a viable operating system on a light weight lappy at a cost of less than 500 bucks? At this rate it could be decades, and I wish it was 5 years ago. Needs to be pushed out with mega talent to be used by us waiting. --- On Tue, 3/22/11, Tyler Saylor <whatthehellswithwindows@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Tyler Saylor <whatthehellswithwindows@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [haiku] Re: Haiku has been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2011! To: haiku@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, March 22, 2011, 9:29 AM I wonder what Google's interest in Haiku is, exactly. Nevertheless I am happy Haiku has been accepted. Its been a fun ride, watching the development of it. Here is to another GSoC! //Tyler On Sat, Mar 19, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Humdinger <humdingerb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Arnold, Sat, 19 Mar 2011 15:36:39 +0100: > > Well done everybody!!

Seconded. > Seventh, not sixth, should use my computer to calculate instead of my > head ;-) Hmmm, maybe get another computer. I think 2007 was the first GSoC for Haiku, which would make this our fifth participation. In any case, thanks everyone who has, is and will be dedicating his time to make it happen!
