Mac OS isn't just expensive, it's seems ultra expensive. $130 (in eurpoe even more) everytime a minor upgrade comes out is for a Linux guy expensive. I rather buy a new disk for that.
Also, software libre is important for some of us. I say no to core libraries not being open source. Which rules out much of the OS X experience. The programs I write and the programs I run should be able to run easily on whatever platfrom my users or I choose for the moment. With OS X this is not true if you choose the Aqua gui.
The easiest answer would be that the GPL gives you rights beyond standard copyright law. Every other EULA takes away right you have with standard copyright law.
The GPL doesn't allow/disallow you to use the product in a certain way. An EULA does. The GPL only comes into play when you distribute said product. If you are not a distributer you don't even have to accept the GPL.
Why not include a driver for say some 3Com cards on the pci models. I have installed Linux on sun boxes just because Linux can use the hardware I give it. Solaris Can't.
Maybe usefull on the Apple desktop but as a long time X user I and other have learned to utilize more than one workspace (virtual desktops). I wouldn't stand having everytning on one desktop and in the end not knowing where I had anything.
You can't exactly tell by looking at the screen that your wireless nic is running a windows driver.
And why should I run windows if the programs runs in my OS of choice. Win32 is an API you know. Anyone with the right skills can implement it. The original may or may not be the best one.
Except that very few companies write for Linux anyway. Of course, very few wrote for OS/2 too but linux have a much stronger community than OS/2 ever had.
We don't even want closed source binary drivers. We want the specs for the hardware.
I don't think there ever was a OS/2 problem as it is described. Noone wrote for BeOS either and BeOS didn't have ANY apps. Surely it's better to run windows apps than nothing.
I have been thinking of getting this game for Linux, is the ingame video "fiasco" fixed yet. Or do you have to use a standalone video player? How much of the game is ruined by not having the videos?
Btw. Does anybody know if this expansion is for Linux too?
Who exactly is everybody. I run Linux and I can't use this store. I also heard the windows client sucked pretty much breaking other programs and what not. It isn't exactly "windows native looking" either. It's also only works with Ipod. and altough all mac users have ipods other people might have something else.
It pretty much seems like a store where you can only wear apple boots or you can come in at all.
This is on no way a troll but what exactly is expose. I have not used Mac os X, i use a gnome desktop. If I understand it correctly expose is a way to fix window clutter. On my Gnome desktop I don't have windows clutter. I don't move my windows around much. Every major program I use have its own workspace.
Isn't expose just a way to solve something which other UIs like Gnome doesn't have (window clutter)?
Or if I have understand it incorrectly please explain to me what it does.
In sweden I was intruduced to this concept about 5 years ago. A company wanted a "kalle bakom" short for "carl behind". I was suppose to open their whole website behind the real site as an advertisement. Needles to say. The customers where pissed. If that wasn't pop under tech I don't know what is.
Thank god I live in sweden or they might sue me for a patent they have yet to file, or invented..
The US style in computer tech seems to be that an innovation without a patent can't be. Everything should be locked up in patents. sucks...
Sure they got it right. I have to use Apples shoes just to walk into their store. Thanks but no thanks. Your shoe don't seem to fit my OS. Even if they did I don't like the color. I take my money elsewhere.
And here we come to the problem of mozilla. You have to install it just as much as you have to install a popupblocker for IE.
Re:SVG is not the future

GIMP goes SVG

· Score: 1
I can think of one or two places on the corporate intranet where SVG could be usefull. And on the intranet it's easier to push mozilla based technology.

Why not Brainfuck
If you can't read your own code who else can..

It's also a good bet that Flash will not be included in whatever windows version includes this new thingy.
but it seems to me like lots of OSS projects just copy things that others
The *nix part of OS X is basicly a fork of FreeBSD. Thats not just feature copying but some serious code copying.
Maybe usefull on the Apple desktop but as a long time X user I and other have learned to utilize more than one workspace (virtual desktops). I wouldn't stand having everytning on one desktop and in the end not knowing where I had anything.
And why is OS X based on FreeBSD, why didn't Apple just close up shop and tell people to "just run FreeBSD".
It's a give and take world.

It also reports how many times you've played each track to headquarters.
I can live without that. What do they want to know next? How often I take a shit.
No overclocking is considered rock solid before you have compiled a complete gentoo on your OC CPU.
Maybe Linux users don't have days and weeks of time to install all the apps via ./configure; make; make install that should have been there by default.
Your probably think IBM would donate JFS to the Linux kernel if the kernel was BSD licenced.. Oh yeah..
as much of a waste of time these projects seem like
You're the type of guy who masturbate to gain muscles, aren't you..
Not really an innnovation either.

A disk writing at over 600MB / sec.. Seems unlikely.
It's name is freenet.

Valve will not lose any licenses due to the code being available.
Well, someone might take a peak at it and decide it sucks and licence Doom3 instead.
