what's so good about vim? it doesn't come with a calender, a browser or the AI language. if you have to edit a 10k file, there is less overhead and it will strip down to fit on a rescue floppy disk if you subtract all that gvim gui nonsense.
the feature of having multifacits key typing is for the day when motion detecting is use for input. all the vim users will have an inherent twitch that will be reconizable to these devices and thus make them superior.
the beauty of vim is that you can flick people off while typing in code and without taking your hand off the keyboard. plus you don't have the distraction of pron from the web or usenet.
woohoo, this is fun. i'm going to waste more bandwidth.
no kidding. this is total bait for a flameware. i almost bit it myself. i will instead remain calm and ESC:wq before i get offended by some of the remarks.
oh what the hell, it's only bandwidth. flame on. =)
maybe they pay people to snitch or better yet maybe a disgruntle employee decided to make sure "law" was upheld.
it seems to me the RIAA wouldn't mind people snitching for the greater good of the "artists".
RIAA if you're reading, i want to give you a heads up on mp3 servers at Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Sun, RedHat and all school campuses. i would like my reward in cash with 10% sent to K5.
well what about the middle end? isn't there a good enough market for that? surely there's a need for servers that aren't close to the mainframe in peformance or price but are way more powerful than a IA-64 commodity box. sun's hardware isn't limited to the PC architecture, so even though linux is a commodity solution couldn't linux still be made to perform better on sun hardware than the intel alternative?
wish i could look... what will happen if i start working on a GNU project and the code accidentally looks like something from microsoft? i don't want to find out. =)
he must have been in a bad mood when he gave the interview. i actually dislike more the comment before that:
Q: Did you feel that way when you saw C#?
A: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, abused and ripped off was also in there just to some extent. Relieved actually was part of it.
many pieces of java was 'ripped' off from other languages. how does that make C# any worst than java?
anyway, i don't actually care about the java or VB developers. there's a shortage of coders. just as long as they don't think that they are the only real programmers. we all know real programmers use LISP.;P
I'm all for free software. Y'know, the kind I write and decide, for myself, as the creator, what license I'll use when distributing it.
You still have that right. He isn't taking that away from you. Now, Disney, the RIAA and MPAA is trying to put more restrictions on what you can write than Stallman is.
GPL, BSD, closed-source proprietary, so long as *I* have the freedom to make a *choice*
You do.
some mouth-breathing shithead telling me that only certain Approved Options(TM) are moral.
I can only assume he is able to breath from his mouth. I don't think he shits from his head. You don't have to listen to what he says. You can also not support or use any software that advocates or made.
Just as you have the choice to buy or not buy, use or not use, my software. See? Maximum choice, maximum freedom all-around. And no annoying little mental midgets kicking us in the shins trying to decide for us what is good and what is not.
I have not seen stallman ever try to pass a law that limits you to choose. I think you should have problems with the authors that decided to use the GPL as their license than Stallman. They should have known what they had gotten into by using the GPL. If you choose the GPL than you stand with Stallman. If you stand with Stallman, you agree with what the GPL stands for which is "Free" as in freedom and not free as in beer.
how are we ignorant? we KNOW it'll be slow as hell and twice as useless. but, some of us like to do silly things (like put bsd on a dreamcast for example).
User applications can have all their information and binaries pertaining to the application in one resource folder. For example, all things related with a DVD player will be in one folder and not scattered across/etc,/usr/doc,/usr/bin/usr/share. you still have/etc,/sbin,/user/sbin for daemons and stuff.
The GUI will hide everything that's in the application's folder and represent it as an icon that you can click on (which will launch the reall binary that's nested inside the folder).
The CLI doesn't hide or fake anything. It shows you what the directory system really looks like.
Config files for applications are in XML format. You can edit them using a CLI tool (vi) or a GUI tool.
I think these features will help the common user. It doesn't take away from the fact that OS X is still UNIX and that haxors still get to use the CLI.
Re:why not use stripped down Linux instead?

FreeDOS

you're missing an account.
go read the site and find out what free dos is good for. the two good links would be the
aboutpage and the main page.
here's a hints: it's good for running
dos software on a free version of dos.
yes, you could use linux to do all these things, but dos is so simple. =)
okay, since no one is complaining about.NET, I'll be the first. *cough cough*.
i'm worried about.NET. MS's history with it's partners is about as fair as having a knife in your back while MS takes your wallet. the cut throat tatics that they use to buy or kill competition has given them a very profitable monolpoly. this has given end users a common platform and standard to use. which is , again, as good as having a knife to your back, since (like in the past) they've use it for their benefit. to be fair, they are doing this for consumers. heh.
another thing, linux isn't going to die just because it doesn't have a.NET solution. SUN has more to fear. SUN relies on money and services to compete. linux doesn't, it's free software. it will only faulter if geeks ceased to exist. for example, if if red had died, there will still be debian or at least slackware.
.NET can burn in hell, but i agree about not taking the license too seriously. it's still open source, which isn't as strict as "free", but we get to see the code and use it. which means a lot to me since i can then use it for OS X and maybe, just maybe learn a thing or two.
the FAQ has a nice light humor about it. i feel like after reading the FAQ that the maintainers like what they are doing and know what they are doing. well, of course they do! it just makes it feels more so.
I'm using OS X right now (along with debian on my vaio). It's very nice, but NOT better than OS 9 as a GUI. Mac OS 9 had cleaner borders and icons. it uses window shade. the mouse is accellerated (well). I don't know why the AQUA interface is so big! I know that we're all suppose to have 20" monitors, but I don't want it to be my fault for not buying a bigger monitor!
There are hacks coming out for customizing the features, but not for all of them. I just bare it and grin. Thank gawd there's a BSD subsystem on this thing.
I stuck X-Windows on here and was happy to see wmaker again. The only problem is that this only helps with X-Window applicaion.
Okay, It is easier to intall than Linux with KDE or GNOME. All you have to do is get a mac and click on some buttons. No fuss, as long as you have that mac. which most of you have right? *cough*.
i bought my PS2 last year just so i could be sure i could play MGS this year! okay, it was for tekken tag and GT3A too. gawd last year sucked.
i'm possitive that games will get better for the XBOX. they have to so microsoft will be determined to do whatever it takes. i may even think about getting one if the money spent on it wouldn't be taking away from building the machine for the PC release of duke nukem forever and halo. who the hell wants 30 fps when you can get 60 or more?
It's not okay that he doesn't have a real job? i don't see why this is a bad thing. working all day and sitting in front of a computer will get you laid just as much as playing games and watching anime. of course, providing that you get paid for it.

so i guess you can say that i'm looking forwards to the mozilla release.
mozilla 1.0-RC just reminds me that i'm 4 years older now. *sigh*.

not if john woo directed it. then plenty of time would have been killed with dramatic slow motion and flying doves.

now he can write the clone of the missle command game that he has always wanted!
hopefully he'll be using the SDL and GPLing the source.
some of us didn't go to college. which would explain why we're suck... hacks.
i had no idea about Netinfo... i did it the hard way:
