It's based on Linux for the moment, but it'll split eventually. Despite the homepage being a bit out of date, the project is alive; in fact I'm working on cleaning up the code a bit.
I don't know crud about C/C++. My point was more about programming something the OO way vs. programming something the procedural way. I didn't intend to start a language-war.
The next mars rover should be an SUV. It'd be great! NASA could just have a bunch of car companies design their entry, then NASA picks the best one, and ta-da! NASA saves several million dollars, and it's great advertising!
Okay, I'm going to go think of another stupid idea...
That's funny, but why would you want to use C++ if you can do it in a smaller, more efficient way in C?
I'm not exactly a C fanatic, in fact my favorite compiled programming language is Java (braces for a wave of trolls), but sometimes "a glorified assembler" is what you need to do the job.
That said, it does make a heckuva lot more sense to use OO languages for GUI programs.
I don't know whether you're trolling or not, but IIRC, GTK is C based, while QT is C++.
Now, I'm sure that you can write your program in either C or C++ and still use either toolkit, but I would imagine C programmers prefer a C-based toolkit, and C++ programmers prefer a C++ toolkit.
The system should have an override that uses, say, a fingerprint (or retina scan), combined with a password/secret number.
With just a fingerprint, you can cut somebody's hand off and use it as the key, but it's hard to get a dead person to tell you a number/password.
With such a system, Mohammed T. Hijacker must keep the pilot alive and convince the pilot to give up the password. Yes, it can be done, but it's harder.
That's a lot of bull that's been fed to you by the press, and the Bush administration.
That's a lot of bull flowing from your facial orifice.
The Bush administration has not said anything about "we didn't think anyone would willingly crash a plane". If you believe that, you must be on democrack.
Why the hell do you think people are afraid of hijacking? They've always been afraid of somebody crashing the plane/blowing it up. Look at the pre-9/11 movies that have hijacking and intentional crashing of planes.
But you take the most retarded thing, and try to blame it on the Bush administration. Thank God nobody but your fellow democrack-heads takes stuff like that seriously.
The show you talk about was most likely one in the Standard Deviants series.
Anyway, most of the daytime programming on PBS that I've seen is either kids shows, or nature videos, cooking/craft shows, etc.
And I'm not really criticizing that. My point was it's not for everbody (well, except for Sesame Street). Also, sure, PBS has some very educational shows, but even if that's what you're watching, you're still sitting on yer butt in front of the TV.
Early Edition is cool (show about a dude who gets tomorrow's paper), and it's on PAX right after reruns of AFV (from the early 90's) you probably haven't seen.
Yeah, but I don't feel like installing another UI library (along with any KDE libraries that are needed) when there are already two full-featured API sets (Cocoa and Carbon) that come with OS X.
On Linux/BSD/whatever, it makes sense, because those platforms don't have a native GUI API. But here on OS X, we have two of them, and IMNSHO a port of a GUI app should use those APIs.
Furthermore, my comment was not redundant. (Stupid moderators!)

All... my... friends... know the MP3
:D
M P 3 is a little smaller
Da da da da da da! Da da da da daa...
M P 3 sounds a little better
Da da da da da da! Da da da da daa...
would the Gnu/Hurd kernel be considered dead? or being born?
Yes.
Congratulations, that's one of the funniest posts I've seen on /. lately. :D
Since VMS was mentioned, I'd like to let people know about this project:
FreeVMS (Mailing list archive)
It's based on Linux for the moment, but it'll split eventually. Despite the homepage being a bit out of date, the project is alive; in fact I'm working on cleaning up the code a bit.
Are you insinuating that they wouldn't?
Anybody who would buy an apartment lit by LEDs wouldn't use a stove.
Pick up a 75/90/100 MHz pentium box for free somewhere (behind your local computer shop).
My 90MHz Pentium runs a caching web proxy, a distributed.net personal proxy, and still has time to pump out one distributed.net work unit a day.
The grue has been killed by a kitten. It should have turned the light on.
Did it ever occur to you that rc6 might essentially be 2.0.40? If they haven't had to change it in 18 months, it might be stable...

YMMV, HAND.

Neither of those quotes say "intentionally crash a plane".

1. Linux-based?
2. VoIP PBX?
3. PVR?
4. Home automation controller?
I don't see any of that in XP.
The word "Uranus" should have been linked to a certain website... and I don't mean microsoft.com.
Early Edition is cool (show about a dude who gets tomorrow's paper), and it's on PAX right after reruns of AFV (from the early 90's) you probably haven't seen.
Just thought I'd say that.
Yes, by watching PBS, we can all learn how to sew, cook, perform surgery on deep-sea animals, and most importantly, how to count.
All hail PBS!

This technology also transmits location information as metadata.
