well, Borland *was* out on thin ice for a while, which upset me alot. My first compiler was a Borland one (BC3.1) and I have hold them very dear since then.. Delphi wasn't for me really when I tested it when it came out but now I'm thinking of giving it another go with Kylix actually - should be a laugh.
How do you mean same libs?
Win got a pretty large API, it's just a bit.. confusing.. at times. Not a beauty, but most of what you'll ever need is in there.
I thought the idea was to basically remake BeOS the ocre of their new OS, while incorporating the good stuff from PalmOS. and scrap the old OS... might be wrong... makes more sense to me at least...
I though Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd was more appropriate.
Not to forget are also the cloggs and the Lords of the Ring T-shirt, plus a 'Unix or Die!' sticker on the side of the sparc box
;-)
funny, I didn't have too much pain of running win95 on my 486DX66 8MB, was more than bearable, upgraded to 16MB and it went quite alright!
Then I got my first pentium laptop (120MHz) and the thing really flied!!;-)

bzzzt! wrong What's now mozilla0.9.5(latest?) and netscape6.1 is a complete rewrite... They started with the old cody but found it so craps that they though they rather start from scratch...
Believe this is more about a matter of taste than anything else. One could basically do the same thing with a few breakpoints at strategic places.
Oh well, you're definetly right that this is more of a 'religious' issue than anything else;-)
maybe that should rather be System.err.println
And sorry, When you start doing a bit more serious coding you'll you start to wish for more debugging tools than jsut printf's and println's

"And placing non-native widgets on the screen takes more computing power than using the native OS widgets. "
Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't see why really. The OS widgets *still* need to be drawn by the main CPU, do you mean it would be accelerated by hardware or something if you used the native widget? doubt that...
Actually, if you draw you widgets in the kernel as you suggest, wouldn't that *increase* rendering time because of context switching between user and kernel space?
Well, reuse all water waste, including the, eh, human output. Create some atrificial gravity, a'la Y2001 SO for example or figure out an engine that allows you to accelerate in 1G half the way, turn around decelerate in 1G before coming to a complete halt at your dest.
food?? hmmm, dunno, grow plants purhaps?
so, sorted!! piece of cake!!;-)
then what's the point, might as well stick with win2K, does everything I need together with Linux.
The improvements that XP adds are very minor, but there's lots of disadvantages with weirdo licensing and stuff that makes me stay away from. Games? don't play em...
yeah, you don't want to stand just below when that big, fat cable comes falling down form god-knows-how-far-up amount of kilometers. might give you a headache..
Not really, considering they thrashed the whole codebase (Netscape 5) after - what was it? - 1 year ot so into the proj (it sucked basically) and started from scratch. also, did'nt attract that many other developers from the outside (Think it's better nowadays though) so it was basically only thye mozilla people who worked on it.
Personally I prefer them to work slow and get the stuff right the first time - even if I can admit it was damn frustrating in the early days of seing no progress.
But hey, we're here now and we got.9.5 which is good enough for me at least!:-)

think he more meant more like how to use gcc
I thought the idea was to basically remake BeOS the ocre of their new OS, while incorporating the good stuff from PalmOS. and scrap the old OS... might be wrong... makes more sense to me at least...
Well, it isn't theft really since the BSD licence allow that - even if it's MS... ;-)
Yes , but it's been in the open source since, um begiining of '70??
MS do use BSD Sockets, as Kerberos, as quite a few little tools from the OS world
solution for the laptop problem: just make it a SMPbox with an 'old' Athlon XP, From there it will get all the heat it needs!! ;-)
