First of all the type and creator aren't even supposed to be seen by the user. They are not alphanumeric, it's a 32bit word. The user sees the Kind instead. Thus you don't see "JPEG" but rather something like "Graphic Converter JPEG picture". As for JPEg types, there is only ONE JPEG TYPE!!! It's "JPEG"! Damn you're clueless!
If you want a file to be handed by a specific application, change it's creator code!
How the hell does Slashdot get moderators so stupid as to mod that up?!?!
The first thing that enters the mind of the typical mac or wintel user when they see the price for OS X is "wow, it's more expensive than MacOS". The first thing that entered mine was "wow, that's cheap".
If people were more realistic about the cost of software development Apple could have sold OS X for $500 and have released it for several platforms. Instead we had millions of people complain about $120 and many even asking Apple to GIVE IT AWAY FOR FREE!
They already do that, provided you buy a mac.
Finally the difference between 10.0 and 10.1 is like between night and day, it's well worth the $20.
Mac users want a mac interface. That's why most of them hate Mozilla and most Java apps. They don't follow Mac human interface conventions.
The absolute worst thing which could happen is 'porting' OpenOffice in some way whereby it adopts the Aqua appearance without the mac behavior. Unless you're going to completely rewrite OpenOffice as a mac app it's better just to use rootless X11. At least then it'll be easy to differentiate between mac apps and mac app wannabes --- >80 column hard wrapped e-mail is not a sign of intelligent
I'm working on this project too (albiet slowly) and the primary problem of 99% of GIS software is it's only good for visualization, not print media. GRASStep will support WYSIWYG printing with small print files.

The standard CD size is too large for many applications.
I think you mean X11 users |-p
There is obviously a work-around or A/UX would have never worked.
If the Windows source code was leaked, we'll never get rid of it!
I'm serious!
FOR ME TO POOP ON!
It'll be more expensive than a mac
Of course what everybody is ignoring is that X11 apps do not behave like mac apps.
It's just another facade
And it runs OS X 10.1 very well.
Only on slashdot would such a comment be modded up
Good grief, you're a moron!

Check out CDSA
>Guns are legal, but encryption isnt. Thats just great.
Huh?
The US government only allows those guns they can easily overpower. The status of guns AND encryption will soon be the same.
Classifying encryption as munitions is very approriate come to think of it. They should both be legal.
Privacy is power
I have to agree 100%
This is expecially true of, say, libobjc. It's one thing for the build tools to be GPL like gcc is, but for the runtime library to be GPL is suicide.
Good grief, talk about x86-centric.

Now stop your bitching before I get my cluestick.
Property: You do what you want with what you own.
IP: You tell other people what they can't do with what they own.
Hrm, yup, same exact thing.
DivX 4 is only for Microsoft Windows and only for vfw.
Screw that!
Not only does OS X support anti-aliased fonts, but any bezier path is anti-aliased in OS X.
Just imagine if something than runs on Linux does that, it would probably get it's own category on slashdot |-\
It's not printable
No creation dates!
only atime, mtime, and ctime.
And we all know, if it wasn't designed 30 years ago, UNIX won't adopt it.
Just append "powerpc" to your ./configure line

Hey Andy,
I'm working on this project too (albiet slowly) and the primary problem of 99% of GIS software is it's only good for visualization, not print media. GRASStep will support WYSIWYG printing with small print files.
