  1. Re:GNOME keeps falling further and further behind. on KDE 4.6 Beta 1 – a First Look · · Score: 1

    JuK, DragonPlayer, etc, why doesn't someone make a Winamp clone the wires into phonon, and have a nice consistent and usable multimedia experience. It seems like that years old Win freeware got a shitload of stuff right - along with intuitive default key combos, and a very well designed and powerful configuration panel.

    Add a $15 mark-up to recoup costs, casual gamers will still be saving money (MS tax).

  3. I believe the idea is - make Windows game, license engine -> profit, using savings from game engine licensing, make Linux port -> profit.

    Galium3D is working on D3D11 support as a state tracker - i.e. native 3D performance, possibly faster than Windows, no tweaking the game engine.

    Network cards are dumb and cheap. Just consider it LightPeak replacing PCI. It's also more flexible in carrying protocols, so it can simply wrap up Ethernet frames and manage them differently from other virtual buses on chip. Who said that the physical layer must map perfectly to the logical one.

    Mods are on crack again - and BSD and Linux family trees, internal design, aims, philosophy vary a lot. Second, XNU uses a BSD kernel stack for userspace interfacing - the HAL is a Mach microkernel - OSF/1 style, and uses a NeXT derived driver stack.

    I believe System76 ought to be competitive, but I have no experience with them - anybody care to chip in?

    Eh... I hear where you're coming from. Though I've spent most of my time reading something or talking to someone - no good. I don't think it ever was. I don't want to meet people - I want to meet the one. And fast... Hence me being on all sorts of medications. *sigh* God, I wish I wasn't a romantic.
