    I remember when it took AGES for apple to post an OpenTransport update when the ping of death and other DOS attacks were all the rage.

    In fact Apple's Objective-C runtime (part of Darwin) has SPARC assembly so it'll run nice and fast.

    A relic of the OpenStep days.

    Also has HPPA, 68k, x86 and PPC

    Can't make a closed source driver and sell it? WTF?!

    Dude, Apple doesn't even have access to ATI's or nVidia's drivers.

    The ASPL is crystal clear, you can use their source willy nilly, but if you improve that code you should let everybody reap the rewards!

  10. Horrible ideas! on Darwin 1.3.1 Released, x86 ISO Available · · Score: 1

    Please do not bother porting Qt, GTK, or any of your other horrible X11 APIs to Quartz. First of all these apps will not follow the Aqua HI Guidelines, they will not be mac apps. They will behave exactly like they do now in X11, so just use a rootless X11 server (which XonX is working on).

    On the other hand porting an application to Cocoa would have the added benefit of being ported back to GNUStep. Thus OS X and X11 users alike get better apps.

  16. Themes are useless on Trolltech Spills Beans On Qt 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Just because you load an 'Aqua' theme or whatever doesn't mean all Qt or KDE apps will magically behave like mac apps or follow the "Aqua HI Guidelines".

    What we really need is interface abstraction, but the only project close to that is GNUStep.

    I mean what's the point of Qt in multiple platforms if applications won't behave like other apps on that platform? Might as well use SDL |-p

    Congress isn't allowed to expand the power of the Census. Just because they can choose the method by which the Census is carried out doesn't mean they can give Census personel guns to shoot anybody who doesn't fill in questions, or demand urine samples.
