There you go not understanding what you are talking about..
For intents and purposes based on common definitions of that a Unix is, macosx is unix.
Carbon and Cocoa are API's made for macosx, therefore they are API's for a unix, they aren't api's for linux or freebsd or whatever but they are unix api's and actually porting them to other unixs/unices/whatever wouldn't be that tremendous of a task, the problem is that they aren't opensource..
Since halflife is based off of the Q2 engine, and Counterstrike is a cool free mod for halflife, I wonder how long until we can have a totally free version of counterstrike not requiring the purchase of halflife..
Seems like some of the stockholders and investors would sue Be Inc. for failing to follow thru with due diligence or something for all of the bad business decisions they made along the line.
"I'll run it on my Athlon or not at all" mindset of current Lintel hardware owners.
Doesn't Lintel imply linux+intel.. AMD isn't really == intel.. atleast not last time I checked.. AMD chips aren't even intel clones anymore and require different motherboards than intel chips.
It's easy to miss the fact that CleverNickName is the/. handle for the Wil Wheaton, this week's poster child for Fame Doesn't Pay the Rent. Hey Will, how about a distinctive sig? Otherwise your long series of "still seeking work" posts (which I hope represent self-deprecating humor) will be overlooked!
Not really.. by now everyone knows that wil is cleavernickname.. he's been interviewed by/. before and everytime he posts a comment someone comes along and informs us all who he is.. nearly everything he posts is modded up to +5 because everyone thinks he's cool.. if he loses some points here or there because someone who doesn't keep current on/. somehow gets modpoints oh well.. I seriously doubt that he needs your help or anyone else's

How many times are we as a community going to/. this guys site. I bet he dreads putting up new articles, because within a week of him doing so/. finds out and sends a million hits his way making his bandwidth bills go through the roof.
How long until someone reverse engineers these receivers to play for free. Seems like it would be easy enough. There are ways to hack home television satellite dishes to play free movie channels and such, and they are connected to a phone line. You'd think it would be fairly simple to bypass any authenification system in a car unit so that you could make it receive service for free.
Exactly, I might be old fashioned being 20 and all, but I was brought up with the understanding that commercials paid for it all. I pay for internet access so I don't have to look at commercials like you would have to do with bluelight or netzero. I wouldn't be willing to pay half price to get half as many commercials. Damnit if it has commercials it should be free, its been paid for.
I'll start using satellite radio when its free. I don't value the ability to listen to random music enough to pay for it.
well it could be that, or it could be that its not actually as big a deal as certain/. editors and websites grasping for content would have you believe.
I do the same thing in IE.. you just have to download a little addon.. and im not talking about the google toolbar.. I can also right click on graphics and zoom in and out on them and right click on a page and get a listing of all the images contain therein or all of the links contained therein.

Somehow you can just get a feel that this story has been posted by michael instead of someone actually knowledgeable about tech issues
If you routinely browse with Internet Explorer or read mail with Outlook, keep in mind that any web page you visit or any email you open can take over your computer, steal sensitive files, destroy your machine, anything.
This is just not true. You specifically have to download things before they can do anything using IE and if you are dumb enough to use outlook and let it have the ability to execute file attachments automatically, you deserve what you get.
exactly.. how many people do you think would use photoshop if they didn't pirate it. It's not like joe highschool kid who pirated photoshop from school would have otherwise saved up and bought it for $600 just to learn how to use it in the comfort of his own home instead of in a computer lab.
Luckily they are only cracking down on people at expensive schools.. Should be quite a while before they get to state schools in the cornfields of illinois..
The original computer programmers were all women, because there was the thought at the time that they would be better at working with computers than men since they would be transisting over from typing pools and from working as jobs at telephone operators, all which were seen as womens job. There is also the thought that women were better at math than a lot of men, which is why women that couldn't get accepted into mathematics programs went into the budding computer field where they were more readily accepted.
what linux really need is something similar to windows update but that also handled popular software in someway.
Some centralized server(s) kept track of everything.
You would go to linuxupdate.com and it would read in a file that listed everything you had installed, then would list any critical bug fixes you needed.
So then internally, it would route you to a free server that had what you needed and it would all download and install, then you'd be back at linuxupdate ready to pick any other software you wanted such as kde2 or staroffice or whatever, then you'd click "staroffice" and it would figure out what you needed and automatically download and install all of that stuff..
It would be simple and have a webfront end and would use something like apt to do the background work so that dependancies were never messed up and then everyone would be happy and eventually people would stop using windows and start using linux because it would be just as easy to use as anything else.
assuming apt4rpm is used like the real apt, to update kde, you'd simply do "apt-get install kde" or maybe it would be kde2 "apt-get update" and then "apt-cache seach kde" to get the name of what you want..

Your walmart sells gas?
Laws are definitely the wrong answer.
true..
The answer is kicking china and most of russia off the internet. These seem to be where 99.8% of spam originates from.
You cannot under any circumstances declare war on a race of people.
sure you can..
people do it all the time.. its call genocide.
4 + 4 != 12
last i check a dozen == 12
Now someone can finally make a version of the sims that allows you to kill your neighbors easily and quickly and that has netplay

how does the bsd ports system work any different from just downloading source and compiling it?
are they like the older, tougher Bananas in Pajama's that are always coming down the stairs?
