GCC can be compiled with other C compilers,
unlike most stuff you can find
on FreshMeat.
GCC still uses K&R syntax for the code that
is used in the bootstrapping process.
Don't just complain on Slashdot. Send
patches to the developers.
Many developers don't have Solaris or
other commercial UNIX to
test their software. What is obvious
to you is not always obvious to them.
Help yourself. Educate developers.
Next time they will think before
starting a script with #!/bin/bash.
An hour spent by you on bugreports will
save an hour to thousands users of your OS.
When I reinstalled Linux 2 months ago
I decided not to reinstall gatos (TV
software for ATI video cards). I live
2 months without TV and believe me,
I don't miss it.
All the news can be found on the web.
I'm not using Junkbuster, but I'll
install it if the ads become annoying.
TV steals your time.
It doesn't really entertain. And now
it's going to track you. It's too much!
By the way, I have more time to code, to listen to the music,
to talk to my friends. In fact, I'm having a date
tomorrow - first time since April 2000!
If we are talking about open source:
How many people would want to run a
"translated" web server? Database?
Scientific appliction? How reliable
can it be? Why not recompile it natively?
If we are talking about closed source:
The same questions except the last one plus lack of
technical support for non-native
architectures at least by some vendors
(e.g. Apple).

Really? I didn't know that!
Judging by their actions, they
look like radical capitalists.

I would even argue that OSes with secuirity holes
should refuse to install, forcing the user to either
install a more secure OS or manually click
through the license agreement
essentially accepting the liability
for acting like a moron.
Whoever has a SPARC is likely to have a better connection
than a 56k modem, therefore one cannot make
much money from "official" CD-ROMs.
Whoever wants commercial support on SPARC can
use Solaris. It's hard to compete with Sun.
GNU/Hurd has a terrrible filesystem "standard". They are trying to eliminate/usr. I wish that the GNU/Hurd team reconciders - then "Linux Standard Base" could indeed become "GNU Standards Base"
I don't know how to moderate this - it's
interesting and offtopic in the same time.
Please take time to
"Ask slashdot" about moderation -
then your post would be (+5, Interesting).

It is difficult to imagine any law-abiding sane
adult arguing against this technology.
Sorry for a trivial answer, but somebody
must answer you.
I am a law-abiding sane (hopefully) adult.
I am using free software on my computer.
I believe that this kind of protection
cannot be implemented without employing
proprietary closed-source software.
This would limit my ability to use free
software on the new hardware.
That's why I'm against this technology.

Fortunately, I'm using pine which is not susceptible to trojans. But I'll buy a dozen anyways for my colleagues still using Outlook.
Have you ever heard that Qt is licensed under GPL (and another licence, but you can choose the one you prefer)?
Question 2:
Have you ever read GPL?
Question 3:
How many times does GPL mention Linux (or GNU/Linux)?

I remember a shareware DOS program that pretended to do exactly that.

Many computer terms have another non-computer meaning in the US. For example, they are using term "mailbox" not only for e-mail!
