I used sed instead of perl, but it came in handy recently. xargs rocks.

"It could be that purely networked enterprises like the Linux project are actually a better way of producing very complex products, much as Toyota's 'lean' production system is the best way of making cars."

Revolution OS

Posted by Richard on Monday, 29 November 2004

Watched Revolution OS DVD.

A documentary about the open source movement, with the major players (Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond, Linux Torvalds and VA Linux CEO Larry Augustin) receiving most of the interview time. There was only one woman who had an important role, if we're to believe the documentary, that being Christine Peterson of the Forsight Institute who helped coin the term "open source". Oh, and narrator of the film, she was important too.
