United States Patent Office: Patent Application -- #10249
Lainhart, Dylan T.
Right-Click Menus
A method described herein that allows users to use a function described as a "selection," available through a special list of commands, or "menu," accessed by the downpress of a secondary mouse button, or any other applicable pointing device or control mechanism (e.g. keyboard, joystick, joypad). This method can be used to make "fast" (i.e. "ease of use") selections of commands, particularly used as a "shortcut" (i.e. a linked selection for a function) menu. Menus like these are used to perform operations or configure "settings," the options of a program. The secondary mouse button, or "right mouse button," is used to activate the menu from an easily accessable operation, i.e. depressing the right mouse button, or "right-clicking."

Good point! Windows 95 has been around since.......1995. GNOME has been around since when? Quite a bit after Windows 98 came out, definitely not before Windows 95. KDE also came out before that, but Windows 95 was FIRST!

Isn't the whole point to show screenshots of the standard desktop? ALT+PrtSc just defeats the purpose of showing an average Whistler desktop? Either that or a demo Whistler desktop?

Apple, far ahead in design? What are you smoking? Apple hasn't even got preemptive multitasking yet! And when it comes to configuration, it's not good. All I need to make my Windows box look like Mac is either MacVision, or WindowBlinds and WinMac. So there.

They aren't writing this new OS from scratch. That's like saying Red Hat 7.0 was written from scratch, it makes absolutely no sense. (Maybe that wasn't the best comparison.)

MSNBC is a joint venture between *NBC* and *Microsoft*, and Microsoft owns the online biz of it. NBC gets to broadcast it on cable and MS gets to put it on their servers. Basically it stands for "Microsoft & National Broadcasting Corporation". Therefore, Microsloth exercizes their right to tamper with news and run a state-of-the-art batch file on it. BTW, MSNBC also standfor "Microsoft's National Bureaucracy Campaign". Either that or "Microsoft's Nonlegal Bullsh1t CCrack"

Oooooooh, if you thought that was misleading with the title cracker, then you are not a hacker, and you do not have any reason to be here. If you don't know standard/. usage of the word Cracker, which we all really know inside...means a person who compromises security. Duuh. Uhh just saying, I got it the first time. I knew that someone(s) allegedly cracked NASA Mission Control.
Uhh...just a question. Have you ever heard of (1) Eric S. Raymond, (2) The Jargon File/New Hacker's Dictionary, and/or the How to Become a Hacker HOWTO maintained by ESR. Everyone who's sane knows that hackers:
Built the Internet
Developed BSD, GNU/Linux, XFree86, KDE, GNOME, gcc, bash, etc. etc. etc.
Have never cared for breaking into other's systems and/or comprimising security
Are deeply involved in OSS, and sharing work, programming great software that solves problems needing to be solved
While crackers do the opposite:
Contributed in a mass effort to BREAK the Internet
Revolve around exploiting everything and breaking security, causing problems from mild nuisances to outright disasters
Are deeply involved in ActiveX trojans, Java exploits, BO2K, Netbus, and SubSeven, write software that not solves problems, but CREATES problems
Are deeply involved in 0wn1ng p30pl3, ha><0ring non-31337, and other cracking rituals
Uhh now here's a quote:
There is another group of people who loadly call themselves hackers, but aren't. These are people (mainly adolescent males) who get a kick out of breaking into computers and phreaking the phone system. Real hackers call these people "crackers" and want to have nothing to do with them. Real hackers mostly think crackers are lazy, irresponsible, and not very bright, and object that being able to break security doesn't make you a hacker any more than being able to hotwire cars makes you an automotive engineer. Unfortunately, many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word "hackers" to describe crackers;
this irritates real hackers to no end. --Eric S. Raymond, in the How To Become a Hacker HOWTO, distributed at his site, at tuxedo.org/~esr.
So listen up and use correct usage. Crackers Are Not Newbie Hackers. CANNH. One more quote:
The basic difference is this: hackers build things, crackers break them. --Eric S. Raymond.
This is complete Bull Droppings. I mean, seriously! I encourage you to read their Licence Policy. It sounds like the M$ EULA to me...simply because it makes harsh restrictions. If I were them, I wouldn't dare distribute the source of Wine with "TransGaming Wine X", the so-called open-source project they are "making", which is probably vaporware. I mean, ESR will go in to cardiac arrest while he reads that license. And if that were to, say, tie in to the GPL in a very significant way, RMS will be in a coma faster than you can say "you are prohibited from decompiling this binary". If TransGaming wants to make some dollars, they could easily distribute WineX on CDs with game demos, shareware, freeware, and of course, open-source gaming goodness.
Thank you for taking in my $0.02.
