Is there a problem with with dhcp on beos? I've been asking people about dhcp problems in beos for about a million years now and no one seems to know anything about it. Man, please elaborate on this cause I've been running into some serious dhcp problems recently..
oh, it's gonna cost too much money to restructure the economy of microsoft... oh, we're punishing microsoft for having a successful system... if we end slavery it will hurt all americans.. what about the billions of dollars in new companies, new technologies, new innovations that ms has quietly stamped out? are these dollars irrelevant? what about the inflated prices consumers have been forced to pay? where is this cost considered? i think we all know who is paying our author's rent...
i'm suprised at all of you, guess it was too much text for you all to handle. anyhow, i've been reading this crap for over four hours now and i'm not even 1/2 of the way thru it, plus, this is just all the evil shit ms has done to ONE company. i kinda figured that it would be evil, (hey..it's capitalism ain't it?) but i didn't expect it to be so well documented. half of me is shocked, half of me just simply accepts it as the way life turns itself out. look at any other large corporation, and they don't even have to be a monopoly, and you will see just as many evil deeds done in the course of a buisness day in the name of 'profits.' we have folgers and starbucks, stifiling all attempts in south america at unionization of coffee field workers and keeping these economies in a state of subsistance wages and substandard education. nike in china, using slave/child labor to maintain their profits on their shoes. hell, even mitsubishi is building a refinery in mexico right in the middle of a whale breeding area. the fact is, you can't purchase anything anywhere without the environment, a social class, or innovation getting fucked over. it's simply how a corporation survives. so i really can't blame microsoft directly for all of this. it's just a part of life and an artifact of how inefficent our economic system is. so why is this relevant? have i simply just been spouting my pinko-commie-liberal rantings for a few paragraphs? probably...but these are issues that bother me deep down and will torment my survival in this backwards-ass economic system in the us. am i happy with the fact that everything i can ever hope to achieve in this society will be tainted with stifled innovation and the blood of others? no... is there anything i can do to fight this in the hopes that my efforts will result in a more just society? no, just look at what happened to the black panthers... life sucks, someone will get screwed. GNU/OSS will get screwed in the end. it could be redhat, ibm, corel..who knows. just wait for the first court case that legally considers the GPL invalid.. enough of my ranting on a thread no one will ever read....
8.5 still sucks, there's no debating that, but veronica(8.6) has supposedly improved upon an assload of things like multitasking, memory protection, better g3 support, etc.. i hope veronica doesn't suck as hard at least..
for once a developer is running ahead of schedule. initial reports for the quake 2 beos port stated that it wouldn't be released until r5. now i'm REALLY getting excited for the r4.1 patch..

CHRP was the reason why it would take 'an afternoon' to port BeOS.
