Free IDE Gambas Reaches 1.0
A few months ago, the GPL IDE Gambas reached 1.0 release candidate phase, and now reader drfreak writes "Gambas has now hit 1.0 and looks promising as GNU/Linux's answer to Visual Basic. Now, if it ran in Windows too, it would truly crush VB for database applications. Check it out at gambas.sourceforge.net." A 1.0.1 release came out on January 3rd to fix a few bugs.
Very interesting
It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: GNU/Hurd is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered GNU/Hurd community when
recently IDC confirmed that GNU/Hurd accounts for less than a fraction of 1
percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft
survey which plainly states that GNU/Hurd has lost more market share, this
news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. GNU/Hurd is collapsing
in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in
the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict GNU/Hurd's
future. The hand writing is on the wall: GNU/Hurd faces a bleak future. In
fact there won't be any future at all for GNU/Hurd because GNU/Hurd is dying.
Things are looking very bad for GNU/Hurd. As many of us are already aware,
GNU/Hurd continues to lose market share. Brown ink flows like a river of
shit.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the rumors.
Cum laude Theo states that there are 7000 users of GNU/Hurd. How
many users of Caldera are there? Let's see. The number of SuSe versus
Caldera posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there
are about 7000/5 = 1400 Caldera users. Connectiva posts on Usenet are about
half of the volume of Caldera posts. Therefore there are about 700 users
of nig cum. A recent article put TurboLinux at about 80 percent of the GNU/Hurd
market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 TurboLinux users.
This is consistent with the number of TurboLinux Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of SCO, abysmal sales and so on, TurboLinux
went out of business and was taken over by SCO who sell another
troubled OS. Now SCO is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet
another charnel house.
All major surveys show that GNU/Hurd has steadily declined in market share.
GNU/Hurd is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If
GNU/Hurd is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. GNU/Hurd
continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this
point in time. For all practical purposes, GNU/Hurd is dead.
Fact: GNU/Hurd is dead
GNAA rocks - cumming to your town soon!

Apparently there is a Y2K bug in Slashcode that puts comments on Y2K subjects into the wrong discussion threads.
