And you're supplying REBOL instead?

No, why? I'm supplying both

Just wondering since all of the above clearly needs REBOL

Actually, the system runs without REBOL, but it doesn't work without 
ORCA

I'm also starting to do more ORCA these days

It's on OSNews now:

http://osnews.com/story/20285/Syllable_Server_0_3_Released

I already commented on someone dissing your choice to use REBOL :)

Yeah, I saw that. :-) Thanks!

It's ORCA, though, not OSCAR

I'm terrible with names. That is probably why noone has modded my 
post up.

I asked a question about ORCA's status there, to keep the discussion 
public.

Ehm, I never bothered to register with OSNews when they closed up

we can let BrianH answer :-)

I tried, but I can't edit my comment. I sent feedback. I'm hoping 
to fix it before someone points out the error in a public forum.

http://development.syllable.org/pages/index.htmlpoints to the ORCA 
status document

One czech IT related portal reports, that Cisco buys Jabber, to enhance 
its IM product capabilities. I wonder who buys R3 plus rebservices 
:-)

Just when you thought it was dead, and buried, and rotting....

Interesting read ... explains a lot to those of us who've not kept 
up

If they make a PS3 version...

They said they have had it running on a PS3 .. so will you do the 
REBOL port ? ;)

noone can do a REBOL port unless Carl releases host sources :-)

Minor details

The fatal error in their aproach is, that they should have been moving 
to x86 in 2000 already. PPC might be fine, but it caused a damage 
...

lots of cheap PS3s

yes, PS3 is different league than plain A1 (you can't buy new ones) 
or even SAM (600 or more EUR for sigle board? 400MHz? Othere expenses 
- hd, memory, power supply, case, OS)

I remember when they had Amiga on a PCI card ...

that's all we need :)

If they release a PS3 version, I buy one :-)

Does PS3 licence allows to run different OS?

You can buy PS3 with pre-installed Linux so I think yes.

Yes, there's even an "Install other OS" entry in the system menu 
on the PS3. That's how Linux is installed.

interesting

They may need a license from Sony to make a OS disc though. (ie. 
pay them)

one of the developers for OS 4.1 just got a PS3 so is in the process 
of port to the PS3

NO WAY! That would be so cool (#2 to Rebol running on the PS3, mind 
you).

Is OS4.1 runs on PS3, then REBOL will run ....

true but minus a lot of the newer stuff ie. agg/etc

The Syllable Server press release was also accepted at LWN (originally

Adobe Talks Open Source, Innovation and the Future of Flash

http://www.eweek.com/index2.php?option=content&task=view&id=49706&pop=1&hide_ads=1&page=0&hide_js=1

removed the license restriction this year from the SWF format. So 
anyone can go create anything they want around that format, including 
a player if they want to

... this is old news, no? Besides that it is half-full cup. SWF is 
freed, Flash is not ...

It's said that the Flash Player will not be opensource and I understand 
why.

Interesting is, that Adobe is working with the Chrome team and that 
MS is not is not a competitor.
