10 Years of OpenStep

tarzeau writes "Today, the OpenStep API celebrates its 10th anniversary. What started out as a joint adventure of NeXT and SUN to define an application development standard that would run on all machines, making 'write once, compile everywhere' a reality, is still unfolding within the vivid and active community of GNUstep, old NeXT and Apple lovers. The magic 10 appears in GNUstep's current 1.10.x release and in Apple's Mac OS X 'Cocoa' release. Programmers worldwide can develop their programs on Mac OS, Linux, the BSDs, Solaris, and with a couple of hurdles -- even on Windows. This solid and well-defined standard is reaching out to the world of software development, slowly but surely. Program your applications in days or weeks, rather than years or never. Use the advanced API of a development framework that hasn't needed significant modification for 10 years, because it rocks, is stable and just works."

Your sig: "Think Kerry will be better on civil liberties? Think again [reason.com]"

Look at this:

Government data compares Democrat and Republican economics.

And this. Links to reviews of 3 movies and 35 books that say George W. Bush is the worst president ever: Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government

Moderators: This is on topic for the whole world. It should be entirely okay to respond to a sig.

Re:Responding to your sig:

Well, you didn't actually respond to my sig, but that's ok.

Government data compares Democrat and Republican economics.

Misleading for several reasons. The majority of government spending is on entitlements that were put in place by previous (mostly Democratic) administrations. The "peace dividend" after the end of the Cold War was going to result in lower deficits for either party. And a great deal of Clinton's proposed spending was blocked by Republicans in Congress.

Having said that, I fully agree that Bush is spending like a drunken sailor and it needs to stop. Unfortunately Kerry proposes to spend even more, so the only way that's a reason to vote for him is to hope that gridlock will prevent most of it if Congress stays GOP.
