"If you want porn that doesn't make Apple money, you can own an Android. There's a whole store on Apple that offers questionable material that makes Apple money, but if you want porn that does not make Apple money.... we don't need you as a customer." 3 Apple
Because of the prevalence of Redhat Enterprise Linux in the enterprise, you would be doing your students a huge disservice not to at least highlight the fact that they can get RHEL Desktop for $30 at an academic rate (server for $60). Fedora is a great substitute, and I believe version 13 and above will be a hybrid ISO image - that is, the ISO image can be either written to CD or laid on to a thumbdrive with no additional steps. In addition, there's GUI tools for Linux and Windows to perform this step. Don't get me wrong - I'm a Debian user myself, and there is definitely much to gain from Slackware and even Gentoo - but the *primary* distribution you should put your students on should be RHEL/Fedora and use RPM for managing packages.
Agreed. There's no substance in this article, unless the substance was supposed to be some individual creating rationalizations for Apple - that substance might be extremely present and ruining my shoes.
With the crowd above, that's clearly a silly analogy. Microsoft wasn't involved. Excuse me while I use bash (a knockoff command prompt) to start Xwindows and Gnome (a knockoff Windows 7) and fire up Firefox (a knockoff Internet Explorer) to play Frozen Bubble (a knockoff Minesweeper) while Rhythmbox (a knockoff Media Player) queues up my mp3's (a knockoff of WAV).... or something...
.... then you agree that ext3 is an imitation of FAT32? - That is clearly not the case. Mono is a framework that implements the functionality of the CLR much in the same way that systems may implement LDAP. They are not "knocking off" Active Directory by implementing functionality of LDAP, they are building systems to be compatible with protocols, standards, formats and guidelines. Give credit where credit is due - even if you don't agree with the motivation.
Agreed.
Mono is an implementation of Microsoft's CLR - not an "imitation" in any way, shape or form. It is an implementation many people worked very hard to maintain in the spirit of Microsoft's announcement of the CLR being cross-platform. Throwing around the term 'imitation' is an insult.
Calling it an imitation is analogous to saying ext3 is an imitation of FAT32.....
Hi!
To go with point 1 - Can you "translate Windows C++" ? If so, you have the answer to a multibillion dollar portability question and the solution as to how to get Linux significantly into mainstream games and other entertainment.
Go look into how to create a window in C++. Then look into how to create a window in GTK+. Tell me how good you are at instantly converting these samples while trying to understand how OpenGL contexts and rendering works.
How did this get insightful? Worst comment ever.
Do you think OpenGL just has magic platform agnostic Window management? Do you think OpenGL just takes over the whole PC as it's own little domain? Do you think the implementation between each OS is 100% exact? In fact, it's much closer to ignorantly assuming ^handles work "anywhere" because of C++'s "platform agnostic" title.
The problem isn't in the tool chain - it's in the rather annoying process of creating rendering contexts for each individual OS - it has nothing to do with his chosen tool chain or "platform agnostic" title.
SDL and GLUT alleviate most of the headache in this process.
