If there was any justice in this world, Apple would be able to sue Microsoft for competing with them
Funny guy, do you really think apple will survive without MS's Office and Internet Explorer? For one they should be grateful that MS is keeping them alive.
How is Apple innovating by using Xerox's GUI and BSD's code? Is their anything they actually can do without basing their product on someone else's?
Now take a good look at that patent, print it and since you like it so much stick it up your candy ass.
And considering the fact that they won't sue MS because they're keeping them alive, they'll probably go after little Linux companies.
uh oh but Apple is an innovative company with all their Xerox based GUI and BSD based code how could you say that they're copying linux X-Window themes? Show some respect:)
Yeah those slashdotters are pretty weird. They hate the music industry but buy lots of CD's, they hate JonKatz but they read him, they hate Windows but they use it, they hate the MPAA but they go see tons of movies.
I just hope those slashdotters will hate me to, maybe I'll get something useful out of it:)
But I didn't think that killing Nazis was bad, didn't we kill a few of them in WWII ?
Games developers need to grow up and develop a sence of social responsibility. These games are turning normally reasonable folk into deranged psycho killers. Have we learned NOTHING from Columbing and Waco ?
I really don't see the connection. But hey if you really think that violent games are turning us into killers and knowing the fact that most of us slashdotters play those games, how come you're not afraid of posting here?
Really Mac OS sopied BSD. Are you fucking kidding?
Isn't OS X based on FreeBSD?
They've even stolen Apple's new naming convention for Windows. Yeah, Mac OS has an X, so lets go one better and have an XP after our name. Microsoft is indefensible
XP stands for Expert, I really don't see any relation here.
Ever since Bill 'wanker' Gates invented the concept of the 'ownership' of software with his letter to users of his lame-assed 'basic' language, Microsoft has sought to gain profit from software, which as a natural resouce should be free.
I've been right before, and I am right now. I don't trust those Redmond Retards any further than I can throw them.
I don't know who's the retard. Let me think.
MS works their ass off, market their products like crazy and they want to make big money out of it. On the other side you work your ass off, you're a code addict and you just love giving away the Programs you worked so hard to create. Who's the retard someone who wants to make money doing what they love or someone who wants no money for doing what he loves? If you feel like being the next Mother Theresa, it's your choice but don't come complaining when you're out of money. Yes kiddie it takes money to buy food, water, house, etc.
Damn It was the biggest software company we Canadians had. I guess no one around feels like opening up a company in Canada and giving more than half of their profits to the government?:)
Does this amount of money even exist? I bet with all that money they'll be much richer than Bill Gates himself.
With all that money they can give enough food, education, water and electricity for the whole planet.
Instead of fighting for their rights and for their users, they go and beg for mercy. That's pathetic. It's a good thing I don't like music much, I haven't bough a CD nor downloaded one for at least 6 months now.
Sure there might be several very legitimate subjects that get squashed, but the fact that most of the internet consists of Porn is a rather embarrassing statement about the Human Civilization today
I guess you're one of those who don't need porn and don't want sex. Most of the Internet consists of Porn because people like porn. What's so embarrassing about Sex? Actually a lot of technology advancments have been driven by Sex.
Sorry for being a reactionary conservative prick, but I think that there is such a thing as obscene material, and would not have a particularly high opinion of anyone that thought pictures of, say, an 8 year old orphan being forced to have anal sex should be defended on some pathetic "free speech" principle
Well then why define it as Obscene? Obscene for a lot of people, means porn, actually it says so in the dictionnary. On the other hand pictures of 8 year olds having sex is CRIMINAL, got nothing to do with Obscene. If the Australian government wants to ban, kill, arest, CRIMINAL sites and their owners I would be more than happy to applaud them.
You can't share your TV cable on more than one TV and I haven't heard anyone complain about it. Yes telcom's are bastards, but hey we're the one offering them our Free OS, Free Software, etc.
We're helping them save money by using free software and we help them gain money by using their products. Those guys must be laughing their ass off, Digital Slavery?
You're damn right. Flash and Java slow things down and their's no way I'm waiting more than 15 seconds for a page to load. It's okay to have a Flash presentation and be able to skip it, but organisations shouldn't create all their site in Flash, it's just crazy. Besides you can't bookmark a specific Flash website, nor increase fonts size, hyperlink color, etc.

Poor, poor Apple... :)
Yes poor Apple but I'm darn glad that it's MS who's got a monopoly not Apple

And they said nothing good came out of Hitler :)
Where were you? Java is dead
Geez I started learning Python two days ago and since then whenever I go i hear about it. Now that was a good decision.
Alias|Wavefront

Who?
Softimage
Belongs to MS
Discreet
Heuh?
FreeBSD Instead of giving 50% of their profits to the government, the only smart workaround was to give the OS for free
Really Mac OS sopied BSD. Are you fucking kidding?
Isn't OS X based on FreeBSD?

NVidia will burry it
They really don't feel like having another antitrust suit just because they Bought shares in Corel. They had no choice but to sell.

I agree, you're damn right. Napster sold out, the music industry showed more guts than those idiots did.

when does sex stop
:)
Soon, eventually pollution will help the next generations stop having that Obscene thing we call Sex

Not a good time to begin talking about freedom, Bush just got elected and this guy lives to censor.

You mean some retards are still using NS4.7?
Yes, unless you like living in the past
