Jordan Hubbard moves to new OpenDarwin.org
bootc writes "Last week we heard the news that Jordan Hubbard was leaving the FreeBSD Core Team. I received an email about the new OpenDarwin.org web site and had a look around, just to find that our friend Jordan was member of the OpenDarwin Core Team!" Apple has consolidated its Open Source web site, including Darwin, under its developer site, while the Internet Software Consortium is hosting the independent OpenDarwin.org, which will develop OpenDarwin with the developer community and collaborate with Apple to merge OpenDarwin technologies into Darwin and Mac OS X.
Get it into your skull crackhead, they will never release it, Least of all to freeloading GPL socialists who think its their god given right to leech other folks work for nothing.

"Huh huh huh, we shouldn't have this cross-platform OO framework run on anything else! Let's just all buy Power Macs and run Mac OS!"
As difficult as this is for you to face, the world does not run Mac OS on PowerPC, and again, never will. Sorry pal, that would defeat the purpose of OpenStep. GNUstep is falling in line with it more than those suits at Apple.
It's funny watching you open source knobbers get all worked up over OS X. Talk about being jealous...
Apple debuts the most technologically advanced windowing system ever, and it's:
"Aqua/Quartz is so slow! And it doesn't support network transparency! And Aqua is so candy-coated and ugly! Hahahah!" Meanwhile 2,000 different Aqua themes appear on the various themes sites within days.
Apple bases their OS on FreeBSD, something that ALL geeks are supposed to be keen on, and it's:
"They've bastardized the tree hierarchy, and used a microkernel. Microkernels are so slooow."
Apple brings third-party developers like Adobe and MS onto the bandwagon - developers which Linux has been trying and failing to emulate since day one - and it's:
"We never needed that proprietary crap anyway, Gimp is 500% better than Photoshop and OpenOffice kills MS Office and... and... and your mom!"
Apple includes Apache, NFS, and Samba connectivity and it's:
"Enabling/disabling my daemons with one click is so inflexible. I want more configurability."
Apple retains their trademark simplicity in plug & play. Mice, keyboards, scanners, you name it Just Work. The open-source community replies: /proc/modules and you'll see a list of modules. Now go into the XFree86 config file and make sure you see these lines, and..."
"You can do that today in ObscureLinuxDistro 8.3. You just have to make sure you've got x, y, and z modules loaded, use modprobe for this otherwise type cat
Once again, open source software finishes last place in technology and usability, and its zealotry continue to deny it. Get out of the basement and into the real world, pizzafaces. Your mom.

Child. My Mac friend is currently jealous of my positive bank balance, that's for sure.

Most advanced? Wake up and find out what X can do, and Aqua can't. Did you know you can get Windows XP themes for Aqua? No? It requires a lot of hacking but it works. You're assuming everybody thinks in exactly the same way, a classic Apple-fan mistake.

Er, since when has ANY Linux developer wanted to emulate MICROSOFT?!?! Some Linux software looks like Windows (kde for instance), but that's mainly out of necessity - making it easy for people to switch.

Wake up and smell the roses - Mandrake (not an obscure distro) will auto detect almost anything. Oh yeah, and you know WHY OS X is so good at hardware autodetection? Because Apple users have a choice of all of 3 different pieces of hardware. It's easy to do hardware integration when you control the hardware.

If that's the case, why did Apple junk their own in house MacOS9 (which blew chunks, it really did) and replaced it with an open core? Oh yeah, I know, it's cos your full of it .....
