This is news? I heard of it months ago.
It's great to have a Tablet PC but what's the point when 90% of the population doesn't have wireless internet access? I live in Canada and very few companies offer wireless internet access around here.
she does have a point here, the problem is it applies to the entire internet. Not just AOL. now Kiddies the next question is. How do we stop this crap?
hahaha. So the internet have to solve a problem that has existed for a very long time in society. I've never thought of the Internet being a GOD.
Yahoo's directory is utter useless crap. It is a tragedy that so many people consider this a "search engine" and then brand the "Internet" crap because this "search engine" can't find what they're looking for!
Damn right it gives the impression that they haven't add or removed any sites for years
"I am trying to show the weaknesses in thier security system"
"If thier security is this weak, they deserve it"
Taking their stupid way of thinking, anybody can grab a gun, go to the mall, shoot a few people and blame it on the lack of security.
What you're offering them is a plan to become profitable. If they were able to follow a simple plan they would already be profitable.

Linux in 3D

· Score: 1
We all know this is may be somewhat unfair, but on the other hand, if Linux was sold, who would the money go to? How could you possibly split the revenue between thousands of contributers, in an efficient and fair way? Does a patch submitter deserve an equal amount of money as Alan Cox?
Linux is based on team work so create somekind of Linux Kernel Society and sell Linux. All the money will go to that society and members vote what should the money be used for, hey with all the money they will be able to buy an island or even give the money to charity.
The people writing/submitting code for Linux and other free software knew that such a scenario was possible, that people could make millions off their labour of love, yet they continued...perhaps that tells you something about their will, perhaps that money isn't always everything?
When you're single you can afford quitting your job to do something you like but when you have a family to support you'll have no choice but to take the job that'll get you more money. Just look at that poor Homer Simpson quitting his job at a bowling club to work once again for Mr. Burns so he can support his family.
Also, these people are creating a 3D engine to sell for a ton of money. So what? It's their right. They arent using any GPL'd code, so they should be free to. And keep in mind, these "greedy" companies consist of hundreds of programmers, software architects and even the studio janitor who have families, homes, cars and all that to pay for.
Let me give you an example a few weeks ago the company I work for asked me to create a helpdesk database management system. So I had three choices, buy a helpdesk management system at about $10,000, create one from scratch or hell download a similar open source project and tweak it for our needs which prooved to be the fastest solution. So the whole thing took me twenty times less time than it should. Open Source projects will save time drastically and companies will not need much developpers anymore hell they'll just need someone without much skills who's only able to do modifications here and their. Voilà, developpers will become poor.
Theft my ass, you're the one making or saving money because of open source projects. If anything you're the one who's stealing. That's why I don't like the idea of Open Source much, why would anyone give away software for companies who's primary objective is to make money?
Corel products suck, their Windows products suck and their Linux products suck, they're doomed. Oh maybe they should start developing for MAC OS, those poor MAC users don't have much applications to choose from after all so that'll be a sure bet.
You fool. Apple does not even need the BSD code. The MacOS is mostly based on Mach/Classic code. The BSD layer can actually be removed from OSX without consequence. Also, the BSD layer is actually written by Apple
Ha and I thought they were going to improve their OS. I guess it'll just keep on crashing then.
Up until Office 2001/IE5 Mac users didn't even use Microsoft products because they were bloated and unstable. Apple would easily survive without Microsoft's help. In fact, ask yourself this? Would you have a graphical Office or even Windows without Apple's existence?
I know lots of users who used Office 98. For the GUI well I don't like GUI's and can happily live without them. And yes I would have had a graphical interface without Apple's existence, their are 6 billion people on the planet and lots of them get the same ideas each day and hundreds if not thousands of them act on this idea. Yes GUI's would have existed without Apple, hell it's Xerox who invented GUI's
But since you put it that way, ask yourself this would the Internet even exist without UNIX existence? And Apple didn't make much of a contribution to the internet, hell they still don't have capable Servers yet.
Grow up.
That is just like saying Linux can not survive without Microsoft products. Most of the people I know using Macs don't use Internet Explorer or Office.
They have Office and IE and they're still strugling to survive, imagine what will happen to Apple without support to those products.
MAC's are dead forget it, it's no longer the MAC vs PC's era it's the Windows vs Linux era.

What or who is root ?
We do have that in Canada to.

Oh really well then how come all the bars around here are still open instead of being closed?

pitoyable

ha your french sucks
So they're using a FREE operating system to create a 3D engine that they will sell for hundreds of thousands? Ironic.
Linux has now enough value to be sold instead of being given away to greedy companies.
oops MPAA or whatever
I guess the RIAA is hard at work
Try KDE and you'll never look back
damn right :)

What does JonKatz think about Online Journals? He's a writer after all, I'm sure he's got a few opinions about it.
Don't anger the Jew community dude, they may sue you.

How about Windows 95's theming stuff? All the X-Windows theming stuff?
