Apple and the Open Source Community
Dozix007 writes "Sitepoint reports an interesting article on the increasing interconnection between Apple's recently released Tiger, and the open source community. Tiger includes improved releases of Apple's directory services (LDAP), secure authentication (Kerberos), mail server (Postfix), web server (Apache) and many more features, nearly all based on existing open source software. Most significant may be the release of Rendezvous for Java, Linux/Unix and Windows. This is a zero-configuration tool for networking that includes network protocols, identification and configuration of devices and services such as printers and local/remote servers, and was based on open source technology."
People wouldn't know a troll if it bit them in their sorry asses. What it undisputably is, though, is FIRST POST.
Blatant editor moderation. First post cannot by definition be redundant.
That is such a ridiculous stereotype.
I'm a programmer, not a graphic designer.
Call it code, gentle sirs.
Ah, the moderator zealots have striked again. This was the frist post mentioning OpenOffice, yet it finds itself modded down, yet the post that is praising Apple's contributions is modded up sky high. Ah, the hypocrisy.
How can the first post be redundant? Pull out a dictionary!
Sure.... that's why he made F 9-11 on a Mac.
Like I'm going to trust what you have to say when your sig isn't even gramatically correct.
