It was truly a special thing to be a part of (even if your part was miniscule).
Why do you contend that AtheOS is in no way based on BeOS (conceptually, or otherwise), despite AtheOS' striking similarity to BeOS in many areas (nearly identical API, ripped-off icons, same feature-sets, etc., etc.).
Yes, that's the guy. It's the infamous dbg (Dominic however-the-hell-you-spell-his-lastname). He left SGI about 6-or-7 years back, and went onto Be Inc. (BeOS), where he designed BFS (the Be File System). For a couple of years he had his page up at http://www2.be.com/~dbg/, but it's no longer there.
The school administrators that deal with disciplinary problems deal with guns, drugs, and lewd conduct all day. They treat the computer people, generally meeker and milder and more intelligent, the same as everyone else.
I can see the School Handbook now:
----
Should any student break the law and or a school rule they will be administered an IQ test, the result of which will then be used to determine their punishment:
Above 160: Immediate dropping of any punishment.
Above 140: Warning.
Above 120: 1 detention.
Above 100: 1-day suspension.
Below 70: Death by lethal injection.
----
This is the fundamental problem: children with a high propensity for computer use aren't your regular disciplinary problem kids. We're usually over active and
very curious.
Please. Here's what's wrong with your argument in a nutshell:
- there's now such animal as a ``regular disciplinary problem."
- rules and laws (should) apply to everyone, regardless of intelligence, likability, economic status, etc.
I think you are confusing "Mach" and "Microkernel". Mach is a specific implementation of a microkernel and unless I'm horribly mistaken, neither the NT "micro"kernel nor the BeOS microkernel specfifically use Mach.
They don't, and neither are micokernel based anyway. Both have an IP stack in-kernel. BeOS talks to USB devices in kernel land. Need I go on?
Secondly, the direction of GNOME is controlled by the GNOME Foundation, a group comprised of Sun, IBM, HP, Red Hat, VA Linux, Ximian, and many others. This makes it nearly impossible for one or even two corporations to try and hijack GNOME.
Weren't both CDE and Motif controlled by a "foundation"? And, well you know...
Because the port of Opera 4 (BeIA's web browser) is meant for IA's, not for the desktop. The interface would have to be completely scrapped, and replaced. Why would Be do this, especially considering the fact that they will make no money whatsoever off of it?
I've used BeOS and NetPositive for at least three years as my main web browser setup, and I tell you, you couldn't pay me to use that crappy port of Opera, that 2 GB compile of BeZilla, Netscape 4.x on UNIX or Windows, etc. So Net+ doesn't have Java, frankly I don't want to use a product like Java which absolutely trundles even on the fastest machines.
Britney Spears isn't the
result of an audience that loved her music; she's the result of an audience that will allow the media to
dictate to them what is "cool" and what isn't.
Moreover, she's the result of an audience that would rather fuck her than have her produce decent music.
When I was 15, my father said, "how can you listen to this? It's noise! There's no melody, it's just
boom boom boom!". He was talking about the Beatles. Today, I am horrified to find myself saying the
same thing about all rap/hip-hop/whatever, Britney Spears, N Sync, and just about everything else I
hear that's been recorded recently.
It's not your age. There is just very little originality and creativity in mainstream pop music today. I'm 17, and I wonder how some of my friends can stand listening to god-awful shit like Creed, Third Eye Blind, Kid Rock, blah, blah, blah... They all sound exactly the same, like shit.
Moshe Bar wrote an article on setting up Mosix a while back for Byte magazine. Very well written and easy to follow - I even set up a mini-cluster of three K6's in under an hour following the steps he layed out:
Slashdot Mirror
What am I missing?
Context.
As such, this piece can never really be recorded
Cage's point was to take this even further. What he's saying is that no piece can really be recorded. It's called nondeterminism.
Stay-Puft.

>Was BeOs better than that?
The same, but it did it 3 years ago.
You expect us to trust the state, Scot?
Do you believe ``that anti-encryption laws would be 'somewhat' or 'very' helpful in preventing a repeat of last week's terrorist attacks?"
Nowhere is it mentioned whether those polled favor such laws, only that they believe such laws would be ``'somewhat' or 'very' helpful."
Personally, I'd rather use a good OS that will die someday, than a bad OS that will live forever.

Probably because:
a) Solaris x86 has a small user base.
b) Solaris x86 sucks.

PS - Spare me the ``it ran on x86 and Sun and HP" argument. NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP was a joke on those platforms.
Yeah right. Any computer that costs $10,000 (and that was the base price) ain't targeted to no ``common person" if you ask me.
They don't, and neither are micokernel based anyway. Both have an IP stack in-kernel. BeOS talks to USB devices in kernel land. Need I go on?
- 'how come' is not a valid expression in the English Language.
- 'damnit' should be 'Dammit'.
- 'dumbass' is two words, not one.
So it's clear that since you made three grammatical/spelling mistakes, that you are the true 'dumbass moron'.
How is this VCR going to collect dust in near-zero gravity?

Net+ is good enough for me.

Ah, but it's not released!

True. Remember that was more than 35 years ago though, The Beatles *invented* the genre of teenage heart-throab.

How do you know that they make *all* of their modifications public?
