the rest of the world names things by how they work and what they do.
Apple and their little hoard of mac users IS NOT the rest of the world. No other unixlike OS have been called a Unix before apple entered the arena. Now, mac users may be to stupid to know the difference between Unix and unixlike but thats apples problem. If a Unix name is soo important for OS X why not get it certified. Of course there are requirements for this.
If they _really_ want people to actually use the patches, they should release the patches first, wait about a week, THEN release the full kernels. Evil, I know.:)
Well. Then we had to download both linux-2.4.20 and patch-2.4.21 hogging 2 sockets.
Your post pretty much sums it up why I will never run Mac OS. Are you Mac users so stupid, you think just because you can do something illegal every Mac user will do just that?
Fuck... You can use a computer to hack FBI.. Toss it out of the window.
what a load of bull... There are gtk and there are QT. They play quite nice together. There are almost always very old programs which doesn't use any of those.
Do you think everybody program there own widgets for fun these days?
You could use multiplatform libraries such as SDL or OpenGL to begin with to make the ports 100 times easier.
Just look at all the open source games availailable for just about any platform. Sure, most of them are smaller/not commersial quality but they are also proof of concept that porting games isn't that hard if the thinking is done a few steps earlier.
Maybe soo. But according to my weblogs I this month have 141582 classic MacOS hits and 8407 OSX hits. Linux are 17853 hits. Should they develop for classic then?
Just a point that Zeitgeist doesn't tell you everything. My figures are from a stockmarket game so it's not an obscure Linux site or anything like that.
What the article is trying to say is that intelligent lifeforms likes patterns. Look at a car. It's one color, and should compress fairly well. Look at a tree. It's many colors and shouldn't compress that well.
I don't think a picture of a human compresses better than a tree though.
QMail is fine for a four- or five-user machine, but the installations who currently require Sendmail's power for their mail service needs would likely be happier with Postfix [postfix.org]. It's far more powerful than QMail, while still being easy to set up and use.
My 40000 users qmail servers are running very well. Never been down once in 6 month and currently serving 100k messages a day. And thats on only two mail servers. So what is so technicaly wrong with qmail?
They want exactly one topnotch game, composed by the best team they can gather. Making a top/commerial quality game takes time and thats probably not so well suited for a hobby competition.
Managers most of all want things that work. We have been through some of OS:s here. Windows, solaris and now Linux. Windows crashed or behaved strange. Solaris boxes too slow/expensive. Linux has been great. Even if we get the premium offer from a big vendor it would be cost effective becasue I get time to do very much more with boxes just running and running and not overload at peak times.
I know Windows is probably just as good these days. Haven't tried it. Too old to learn.
Do you understand the slightest how open source work. Projects are often anounced before they are 100% featurefull because they wan't other people joining.
One man probably didn't wrote the original firmware for the ipod and one man may not make this one. The developer has no way to take bugreports if he is the only one using it.
In the end there may be nothing usefull for you comming out of this project, or it may. Thats how Open source have worked for decades now and thats how it will continue to work.
If you only want 100% complete software you don't have to read about new opensorce projects. They will probably dissapoint you every time.
Slashdot Mirror
You probably want this too. To make them work in your browser.

considering it is written in a subset of BASIC
This is the language Bill Gates invented before he wrote Windows.

Looks identical in every browser supporting some basic css. IE6 too actully if you put it in standard compliant mode. Put this first in your file:

Amiga at least was something sometime.
BeOS still is a "never has been".
Don't know if this has been asked before but what is this licence from SCO they are buying? What do they get?
something I find fascinating is how many rant about the Microsoft Monopoly, yet would gladly see a Linux monopoly.
Can a kernel really become a monopoly?
Or maybe MS just start making their own hardware in the future. That would be the nail in the coffin.
This is probably driver related. Just use another driver not from HP. If there is one for your OS that is.

It's probably safe to say that the developers at C# where looking at java. Whitout getting into animals and such to blur the topic.

Oh good, now I can get spam that I don't have permissons to read.
No, you can get spam you don't have permission to delete.

Just my take on it.
I think the iraqis have played enough xbill to render that attack pretty useless.

you need, above all, a quick and accurate way to enter text into this beastie
That would be morse code.

I don't think someone running Linux at all, or Linux on the ipod is interessetd in de facto standards.
Was that rant on mplayer really necessary...
Othewise, good points.
