Peeking at Netscape 8

· Score: 2, Interesting
imagine if they had not become and open source product and instead mozilla came out later as netscape 6 and only netscape 6, would you use it on linux (given no alternative) and would you say it mattered? this might be an interesting test case for companies that are thinking of open sourcing.
"If (seemingly) every big console game can come out on all three consoles within a year (usually at the same time), then surely you can launch a computer game that runs on the big 3 OSes (Win, Lin, Mac) without 2+ year porting times. The difference between a Mac and a Linux box are MUCH MUCH SMALLER than between a Cube and a PS2.
"
actually, no. when console games are made and not intended to be cross platform, the game is often written with a 3rd party API and it is easily ported to any of the 3 systems. You also need to keep in mind that linux users dont buy software and that is the big difference between them and Mac users.
when you mock legislation saying it is useless, consider what people said when the republicans passed the XIII, XIV and XV amendments. They didnt have teeth at the time but how often do you hear about black citizens, blacks right to vote or even equal protection these days?
WTF why is this a troll? the gilligan report and the hutton inquiry are the reason why all this shit is happening at the BBC. Is it a troll to point out the obvious?
remember that anti war activist Andrew Gilligan and the board of directors caused all of this by faking an anti-war news story and driving the scientist that was the center of the story to suicide. The people involved resigned, but the damage was done.
That was the british equivalent to memogate ie biased reporting by entrenched political activists.
considering how mac users have been using open firmware for years, we can only laugh.. well that and wonder why you need a new GPL BIOS to compete with it.
actually, how how, do they make money by giving their product away for free? I can see red hat doing consulting/support, but mandrake caters to a different market
actually you coundn't be more wrong. That is why there are documents like this Ubuntu Multimedia HOWTO
. Seriously, this is ok for a person like me who know how to build software, but why is there a multimedia how to doc for a distro that should be user friendly. Why so you need to build Mplayer from source?
I was putting ubuntu on my sisters machine and soon discovered that there is no easy way to put xine or mplayer on ubuntu. I can't believe it is so bad especially because on my debian box it is trivial.

i dont know about gates, but his OS is damn unstable.
"Jobs is the Che Guevarra of the computer industry except Steve didn't get killed."

hmm, even the pinkos in the ACLU would disagree with that one

if you want to see what the PB g5 looks like now, go directly to the marketing site . I think the details should be self explanatory
