  1. Re:to understand this in context on 10 Years of OpenStep · · Score: 1

    To show how dumb slashdot readers are i suggest this link. Next time, if you dont know what you are talking about dont bother typing. I dunno even the BBC says 9500 dead. Of course, you are posing as AC, so that says a lot.

  2. state of BSD on The State of the Demon Address · · Score: 2, Interesting

    to understand how BSD is doing, go to your local coffee shop, book store or student union. Take a look around, how many people do you see using BSD? 3 or 4 laptops. Now how many linux laptops do you see? none. I think thats pretty good.

  3. to understand this in context on 10 Years of OpenStep · · Score: 5, Interesting

    consider that tin burns lee when developing the www and the original browser gave up on his old projects and got a next box becasue the development of the UI and software was so easy on it. I wonder what would have have happened hsd he not gotten it :).
    On a side note, it is really quite sad the linux developers are not using/updating openstep. The fact that it is nearly completely compatible with OSX's Cocoa is a huge plus. I discovered this while developing software in Cocoa and have often thought about how cool it would be to have a GL based desktop with a slick Openstep ui ( the current one looks like it is stuck in 1993) on linux.. Then I got a Mac

  4. i see on Hip-e All-In-One PC · · Score: 1

    is insiired the new word for knock off?

  6. compare to ipod on Rio Karma User Review · · Score: 1

    if th ipod had issues like that this place would be going crazy with pro and anti apple wackos

  7. on slashdot on Political Cybersquatting Or Free Speech? · · Score: 0, Troll

    if it were a liberal it is ok, since it is a republican, this is cyber squatting.

    sorry, wrong story.. mod parent down its offtopic

  9. templates on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: 2, Informative

    After templates (generics) come out in a few months, i dont expect java to have an easy time catching up.Personally, I really miss templates from C++ and would drift over to the camp that offers it.

  10. templates on Ask Neal Stephenson · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Having worked in both java and C#, superficially there arent much to distinguish the two beyond syntax and some design philosophies. However, i expect C# to really take the lead once they introduce templates (generics) which are coming out in a few months. Having coded in C++, templates are one thing i really miss. Click here . For more info on generics. I dont know what java has on the horizon like it.

  11. Link WARNING! on A New Species Of Giant Ape? · · Score: 3, Informative

    for the faint at heart, the link contains a lot of pictures, among them a rather disturbing picture of a semi decapitated ape with a lot of blood. Given how human they look, it might not be suitable for all.

  12. mozilla acceptance on Breaking Google's DRM · · Score: 1

    yes, circumventing copyright protection is certainly going to improve the image of mozilla. We all know it is getting good press right now because of problems with IE. It will only take a few articles in major papers and magazines about its links to piracy and it will be banned like kazaa in a corporate environmant. Sometimes i really do wonder if many other free software types are really just software pirates.

  13. no unanimous on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 2, Interesting

    one republican member from texas opposed it on the grounds that any govenment control of the internet is wrong check this article
    The fellow's name is Ron Paul. He has an interesting position. Though they may not agree with apyware, i think it is a position that i think many here would agree with.

    Maybe we should interview him on this site. :)

  14. hmmm on Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed · · Score: 1

    how would this be different from any generic action flick? i mean doom is just a generic shoot em up which is the equivalent of a generic action flick

  15. Re:They can't wait... on PSP Delayed Into 2005? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    i dont think any sega handhelds were better than gameboy. I fell for the color screen.. game gear sucked batteries so quickly, you could hardly play anything. In my book, good battery life is a requirement for technical superiority.

  16. ladies and gentlemen.. on PSP Delayed Into 2005? · · Score: 1, Troll

    we have a winner. I predict the DS will clobber the PSP (if it ever comes out)

  17. my big issue on palmOne Announces Tungsten T5 · · Score: 1

    my big issue with palm in general is that the systems are very closed. Unlike the ipaqs, you cant just flash the bootloader and dual boot, heck you cant even install your favorite os. Opie running on familiar linux is free comparable to the latest windows releases feature wise and also syncs nicely with linux, windows (outlook) and OSX. I love it. On top of that since it is open source, i dont have to worry about it abandoing my platform (h3100 ipaq) the way that windows did. As a long time Pocket pc user, i had to switch to linux when windows no longer supported monchrome ipaqs. Who cares if i have 206mhz arm and a huge hdd on my cf, windows wont support it. Now that i have opie, i'm not looking back.
