| <A HREF="mailto:nbruinooge@earthlink.net">nbruinooge</A> asks: <I>"I just reread Neal Stephenson's profile <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/2.02/mao.bell_pr.html">In the Kingdom of Mao Bell</a> in <i>Wired</i>, Feb. 1994. In it Stephenson speculates about what will become of Hong Kong in '97, and predicts a Chinese backlash against Western technology in the next couple of decades. Hong Kong shifting hands is old news now, and it occurs to me that other Slashdot readers must know more than I do about how things have been going there, from a technological perspective. Is Hong Kong transforming China, or is it the other way around? Was Stephenson his good ol' prescient self when he wrote this article, or have things taken unexpected turns? And how does that China-Linux announcement from a while back play into it?"</I> | |

| A reader submitted: <i>"<a href="http://www.sony.com">Sony </a>has <a href="http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2570192141-50d">set back the release of the Playstation 2</a> due to component shortages. The Europe release date has been reset to Nov. 24th, but a US date has not been confirmed.</i>" We've been seeing a lot of conflicting submissions over the last few days -- and conflicting information from Sony. But what it looks like now is that the initial release, for the U.S., is set for Oct. 26th, and the number of the machines to be shipped has been scaled back by half. | |

| <A href="http://www.linux-mag.com/">Linux Magazine</A> interviewed | |
| <A HREF="http://www.linux-mag.com/online/iv_irvingwb_01.html">IBM's chief | |
| Linux strategist</A>, Irving Wladawksy-Berger, about IBM and Linux. IBM sees Linux as a | |
| disrupting technology of the same class as the Internet: an OS that can run on | |
| many platforms and that nobody owns: something that can fundamentally change | |
| the landscape of computing. By adding Linux compatability to AIX/Monterey, IBM | |
| is guaranteeing itself a big-iron version of Linux without angering the | |
| community by forking the kernel ... but they'd obviously also would like to see | |
| big-iron features added to Linux. Interestingly, Irving suggests IBM would be | |
| willing to open-source just about anything the Linux community wants ... one | |
| just needs to make one's mind known at <A | |
| href="http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/">IBM's | |
| developerworks site</A>. Following the usual path, Linux adoption by | |
| IBM was a bottom-up process, finally convincing senior management. | |
| It's a shame that Linux Magazine did not ask about IBM's patent strategy, which was | |
| already a hot topic two years ago when | |
| <A href="http://www.slashdot.org/articles/980727/155232.shtml">slashdot | |
| facilitated the release of the Jikes compiler</a>. | |

| The Luddites have returned, dominating the presidential campaign, attacking technology and culture on many fronts, from ruining work to despoiling the environment to endangering children. Although the term "Luddite" gets kicked around a lot, few people understand who the first Luddites really were. Compared to the current crop of moral poseurs and wannabe anti-technology intellectuals, the originals were genuine heroes. They were fighting for a way of life, not for moral control or cultural power. | |
