March of the Penguins

Went to see March of the Penguins at the theatre today. Quite a good documentary really.

It gave me a Linux analogy - male penguins stand there after having not eaten for four months, standing in minus 60 degree temperatures with winds of over 160km/h, with another 120km to walk after to find food, and yet they survive. Linux is like that, it survives practically anything.

Imagine a Windows penguin - dead after only a week without food, can only survive down to minus 30, knocked over by 50km/h winds ... you get the picture.

Lego's releasing the Mindstorms NXT firmware source code and specs, which is making me very likely to buy one.
