Didn't microsoft and symantec each create one for win32? I heard that there is going to be a gnu one in the future. Java would gain more respect if the JVM would give the user the option to compile to native code so it runs almost like a native app the next go around
Where is the gnome office suite supposed to counter KOffice? Where are the alpha source code releases for GNOME 2.0? Where is the developer support outside the OSS community? KDE has won this battle hands down. Frankly I fail to see what it is innovative about GNOME. It isn't nearly as aggressive as KDE
What did they hope to prove by pitting the 2.0 kernel against NT and Solaris rather than the 2.2 kernel? Why don't they pit NT 3.5x against 2.0 and see which comes out on top. I think 2.4 will do some real damage though. Hmmm it would be easy to see BeOS go against NT..... no competition there as a workstation OS goes.
lobby congress to have only the top 1% of the population's income taxed. Then just create a 4-5% national sales tax. I can't speak for everyone, but I wouldn't mind replacing income tax with a national sales tax. Here in VA we pay only 4.5% sales tax compared to states like CA which pay around 7% I believe.
I can't wait till abisuite is ready for prime time! It will be the first *good* office suite to target: Linux, xBSD, Windows, MacOS and BeOS simultaneously! So no matter what I am using I can run it. Now that is a killer app considering how good AbiWord is already. What will happen when abisuite becomes the dominant government suite? Microsoft and Corel sue because they can't make a buck since Abi is free?
this doesn't sound good.......

Sex in Space

· Score: 1
damn.... sex in space could get really messy, really quickly.
How about the US and Canada put tech trade sanctions on australia until their government gets the idea. Hell if push comes to shove I suppose the pres (once clinton is out) could order customs to sieze *all* australian goods coming into the US until the au gov stops shafting its people. Hit them in the pocket book and eventually they will get the idea
I think it is about time we do the following to the australians... maybe these things will tell their government to stop messing with their people. -cut off all telephone/cable lines into and out of australia -ban users with an australian ip from all american and canadian hosted websites -shoot down all satellites in geosynchronous orbit over australia so they can't have net access that way. Maybe when we make australia even more of an island in terms of communication their government will finally get the picture.
why do people all of a sudden forget the attrocities commited by the soviets, north koreans, etc in the name of making the world a socialist "utopia"? North korea may not be gone but it is definitely getting there. You people have forgotten the cold war's victims (aka the russians and all other socialist nations' citizens). I remember the USSR and what it did to the world and I am 16.
I am using iCab right now on my powerbook and it truly is a joy to use as web browsers go. It is even more light weight than opera and it has a really nice gui. I also like how it desplays sites even better than ie and nc at times. Once it supports JavaScript (already supports Java cuz Mac browsers can use apple's runtime instead of having to use their own) it will definitely become the main browser among Mac users. As for Linux, opera will do very nicely.
riots like this one lead to the sheep being forced to wake and realize that big brother is not the kind and generous sibling that looks after his younger siblings' well being but is the kind of sibling that takes beats up his your siblings daily and robs them blind anually
What is with people saying that the net is somehow different from "real life?" The net is part of real life! What you do online is held against you in a court of law if it violated "real laws"! As for that internet inventor guy I think it is rather ironic that he is a censorship nazi since he created the largest platform for free speech ever made! Just remember pro-censorship kiddywinks that you may be in power today but those you piss off might get into power and censor what *YOU* say and persecute you. Persecution is a like the relationship between the dog and the fire hydrant. 1 day you are the dog, the next you are the hydrant!
They can bloody well go to hell for all I care if they think they can stop me from running it. If they try then back I go to redhat or hell.... I will just give the real debian a try.... not that pseudo-debian distro from corel. BTW corel's distro is pretty good... but it still needs work. The boot loader is pretty disgusting. I miss the BeOS bootmanager already.
The GPL says that *anyone* can use it and modify it and redistribute. That includes minors. When will Corel accept the fact that they have no power over who uses their distro?
We should start advocating NT as a force for peace since if all governments use it then their networks will be so unstable that the missile and other weapon systems will crash before being able to fire.
If someone released a bunch of songs under a GPL like license would that be protecting their rights? No because they couldn't make money on the cd sales or the live performances of the songs! Please don't try to bullshit us about it protecting freedom. I am all for OSS, but I think the GPL is too extreme. Of course the SCSL is terrible but frankly the BSD license is the best popular license right now. Allowing the GPL fanatics to define OSS is as logical as allowing Puritans or Jehova's Witnesses to define christianity.
The statist whores have been salivating at the thought of expanding their control to the Internet. What we need is worldwide ban on big governments at all levels

when will they add powerbook support? I have a powerbook, not a powermac.
The dying wails of these business dinosaurs sinking ever deeper into the tarpits of technological obscelescence are music to my ears.
Because you get the source, you can make any modifications necessary..... thus you are given the tools needed to make your system safer
"Anonymity on Slashdot has become a haven for the ignorant and childish. I say remove it." I agree 100%

I don't like it anymore than the other guy, but at least it is over something with some substance like protecting artists' work and not a patent.

I vote that we keep technology companies from being able to patent their products/technologies altogether.

1984 took place in london. How fitting considering how complacent the europeans are at fighting for their rights.

nothing. Oh I am sorry I forgot we are dismantling the military in favor of feeding the losers on welfare who are too lazy to work.
