This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Cheers Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.

For instance, compare IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) to Linux. Ethernet is a structured and agreed upon way of accomplishing a specific task, the transmission of data. There's little or no wiggle room in the standard and as a result you're assured that just about any Ethernet product you purchase will work with any other. Hundreds of vendors have built Ethernet products over almost two decades, and even the oldest are still useable. Linux, conversely, is more of an idea than a real standard. There are countless variations of Linux from SUSE to Red Hat, debian to Ubuntu. Most folks reading this blog have encountered applications that are tied to a specific implementation. Open source is excellent at disseminating ideas and fostering experimentation. Indeed, most of the cloud computing services wouldn't exist without open source, including 3tera's own AppLogic. However, as we move to the need for interoperability, standards rather than open source will be required. Standards and open source accomplish different things.
