And game development would be like it was in 1982 when you developed for Commodore, Apple, IBM, etc...
On the other hand, if market share were evenly split between mac/solaris/*nix/*bsd/etc, all those machines ruun some form of UNIX, so developers would develop once, tweak for the appropriate idiosyncracies of each platform, and ship!
Not only is Sanders a damn fool, he's just plain wrong. Solaris runs on hundreds of PC-compatible machines around the world.
However, due to lack on interest the port has been placed on hiatus by Sun. Probably the right business decision after being laughed at for being the dot in dot-bomb, but it kinda sucks anyway. My new machine was built to run Solaris/X86 properly (SCSI hard drive, decent network card) but I may never get the chance.
No, it means "Thou shalt not use the General Public Virus to implement Microsoft's junk. Thou shalt use a license like the BSD one, or the MIT X11 one, or anything else on GNU's list of Free Software licenses that isn't the General Public Vir^H^H^HLicense."
I just _love_ how you put that: GPLed libraries make sense if the author really wants to "encourage" (meaning blackmail other programmers into using the GPL under threat of legal action) more GPL software. I think this is pretty sleazy in its own right. LGPL is OK, BSD Licenses are better because they give licensees freedom to do anything with the code, as long as the original author is given credit. (Wonder if the ftp included with Windows 95 is a violation?) As long as someone, somewhere, keeps the source code available for BSD licensed code, that software will remain free. Anyway, you didn't tell me how dynamic linking of an application could be considered a derivative work of the linked library given how modern operating systems work. In the end the two programs are aggregrated into main memory, with a table of pointers to functions in the library.

VI should be "Return of the Mosaic". Thanks for playing, though.
Listen, if Bug # 100393 isn't a 1.0 stopping feature, nothing is.
Uh, we do that now with tapes, idiot.
I wouldn't. The big labels have zero to offer. I don't even bother using Napster/Kazaam/Mopeus/whatever because of this.
Decent labels have free samples of their own. Make it a decent label like Warp Records or Alien 8 Recordings and I'll consider it.
Nope, everyone would have a Macintosh.

Well, you can (potentially) build your own custom processor, actually. has all you need to get into the wonderful world of FPGAs. Better to start by modifying the pre-fab processors at OpenCores, though, as designing a processor from scratch is insanely difficult.
Unfortunately, it would be cheaper to just buy a Pentium or Z80 or whatever and go from there.
