Don't forget their selfish attitude towards their toys. I used to use an amiga, and never thought, "wow, this is the most brilliant toy I've ever used." I thought, "Hm, what color would look best on this layout." Either way, your post rocked. good job.
You still haven't responded to the initial question Do you or do you not have proof or even any real evidence of Corel using win executables wrapped with Wine? Just because they are slow doesn't mean that is what they are doing.
I would have to heartily agree with you, it is a good thing that they are releasing their applications for Linux, however it is just another platform to them. Their involvement with KDE has been quite disheartening. I had tremendous gratitude and appreciation for their movement towards linux in the beginning. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth. Reading up on the history of the posts on the KDE-bugs list is really sad. Yes, it is a good thing that they are contributing but they're missing the spirit of open source I think. I hope it changes, because they really are doing good work and I don't want to see that fade. But I can foresee the possibility that their work will be rejected because of their lack of insight as to what exactly open source means.
Just out of curiosity, do you have any evidence to substantiate your claim? I have spoken a few times w/ Gav - the lead linux developer, and while we haven't talked much about the porting effort he made it sound quite clear that the code was being actively ported, and not just ran under wine. I could have misheard him, but I'd just like to know for sure.
Hm.. I just checked back and saw this marked as redundant. It was the 12th comment. After filtering all the first post (typically 1-7) there were 5 comments. How can that be redundant? They need to have a flag for "Bad Joke".. then it would work.
For royalties and service fees for patent violation. Early in the year 1775, I filed for a patent in the USPTO. This patent guaranteed me the monopolistic freedom to sue anyone pursuing royalties for a stupid patent.
Damnit, it is just a quote. From trivial pursuit. I'm not saying it's true. I'm not saying I've researched it. I'm saying that there is a Trivial Pursuit card that has a question that asks, "What percentage of the population has an IQ under 80" and the answer they gave was 50%. And besides, if you did know anything about IQ tests/scores than you would know that there are a few different types, and perhaps one of those could have the median of 80.
I think it's stupid to even mention Columbine with a reference to Quake. Get real, I've been playing Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein 3D, Warcraft, Starcraft, Blood, Unreal, and many many many others. I never had a friggin friend growing up. Those kids were just stupid, whiny, sniveling bastards and the world is just too arrogant to admit that yes, populations do have screwed up individuals. So instead, lets blame video games? And maybe if those kids could have skinned their school mates they wouldn't have gone on a murder spree? But you do have a good point with the celeb skins,
Just what you've all been waiting for, the UPnP Toaster. Now you too can *actually* asign your toaster an IP address and have it make toast for you. No longer is this just a joke, it's a way of life! damn.. sometimes we just have some weird technology.
I think the only response Valenti would have given is "I don't recall" They could have gotten a parrot to do the same deposition, and it would have cost less.
I could see if there was GPerl, and SunPerl and IBMPerl, and HPPerl.. but there really is only one person so isn't that the standard? Hmm.. oh well. If it makes people stop using system calls in perl scrips I'll be happy.. I especially like the 'script' ne 'program' part. Jon++ And why the hell are the first 5-10 posts always flamebait/trolls/offtopic?
Perhaps you should really research what you talk about before you decide to post and more-or-less flame. Here's two points you should think about: Point A) Didn't say which population, whether it be U.S. or World makes a huge difference. Point B) Didn't say which IQ testing system. So now that I fear your staggering intellect for telling me I'm wrong when you obviously have no idea what the hell you are talking about, it's time to go do thing fun. Oh wait.. this was fun. Hm, damn my life is enjoyable.
To Rob and Hemos - I do want to extend my congratulations to you guys. I remember in Dec 97 when I first read/. Thanks for doing this, and you got your wish and got to do this for a living (remembrance of statement you made a long time ago)
Also depends upon the IQ scale that is being used. I just saw the Trivial Pursuit question "What percent of the population has an IQ under 80?" and it was immediately my.sig
I'm actually really grateful to see something like this happen. Not because I'm anti-open-source, or anti-PGP. Because I think that open-source has led to a few bad habits 1) It's 'good' software. By this I mean most people (Including myself) think that the software, while looking like it works - does exactly what you think it's doing. Oh, some other programmer has checked it I'm sure. Unfortunately I don't think that's the case anymore, after releasing a few things myself - and receiving one piece of feedback for about 1000 downloads. 2) Constant upgrading. I do it. You do it. Everyone does it. I'm not saying that constant upgrades are a bad thing, but it does seem that releases (Aside from the more major of projects) are tested at any deep level. This is more of a bad habit of programmers (Once again I raise my hand, I suck at Q&A) I'd love to see some open source Q&A people inside a project.. I've yet to see an internal release be posted before going up. I know that's what the x.x.1 version is for, but a lot of bugs shouldn't even be in there and they're from 4am coffee splurges and should be checked by friends or whatnot. 3) Ripping code that isn't tested with that setup. *cough* This part really bit me once with some network stuff. Ohh, they did it this way - I want it that way too! Not the best approach in my experiences. It's great to re-use code, but check it out first. I've seen snippets from other peoples code that is both broken and misused, and of course causes small bugs to show up in the app. K, that's my rant. My 3 bad habits anyway.
This has been under the view of a lot of people at NASA for a while now. I was working out at Ames RC (Moffett Field, about 30 minutes away from Stanford) and received an email newsletter stating a lot of information about this, and they had a series of satellites that descibed this effect without scientific measure. I have been dying to see this thing actually start happening - this has quite a significant impact on Einstein's work, as this is one of the few remaining testable theories. So if this comes back positive, looks like relativity is right. However I am disappointed about the universe destroying faster than light travel..
I think the subject says it all. I'm definitely pro-choice on the matter.. it's up to the people. But c'mon.. Emmett, I don't think it's necessary to shamelessly plug *yourself*. Course it doesn't really surprise me that much.
I love the puzzlers on a lot of the websites, even some question of the day type things. But please, please, keep them relatively intelligent, and perhaps find a way to ban comments from appearing on them for a brief period of time so you don't have people shouting out the answers. And then whoever submits the first post (Still have the comments, just hide them) wins a "Slashdot headline" award, where it says they're name and their solution. Please deposit $0.02 and drive through, thank you.
I went out and interviewed at Eazel (they turned me down tho *doh*). Talking with Andy was enlightening to say the least. He has a lot of brilliant idea's about the project. I would definitely not say it's dumbing down linux, just making linux less work. Which I believe is something that is definitely needed, it took me about 3 hours to setup the development test box at my current company just in download and compile time. Now for every patch and re-compile it takes my time, and the CPU time. With Eazel that can be backgrounded taking the user-time out of it. Not sure if this has been said yet, but from my understanding it will be the replacement for GMC in Gnome 2.0 Take care, good luck to everyone invovled
I think that the headline for this story is very very very misleading. This is like the 5th time in the last couple weeks that/. has ramped things up more than they really are. He says specifically that Napster (the person) was a nice guy.. doesn't sound like a threatening attack to me from what I read. Please, try to be an unbiased news source from now on, I'm resorting to ignoring any and all comments from the posters at this point (Especially Roblimo and michael, hemos at least apologized) I'm not trying to start a flame war,but I hope someone pays attention to this.
Read the fscking manually before you shout witch README.. it states it does this. Or perhaps you don't know what GL_RENDERER string is.
