  1. Re:Mmmm...Objective-C! on Simply GNUstep Delivers UNIX, Simply · · Score: 2, Informative

    Apple has made modifications to gcc to support "Objective C++", which allows Objective C code to use C++ syntax and classes. Hopefully these changes will eventually be merged into the main gcc sources.

    Take a look at that proposal by Ziemowit Laski ...

  2. Re:GNUstep is not a user friendly desktop on Simply GNUstep Delivers UNIX, Simply · · Score: 1

    > That is, no user friendly desktop.

    That's probably because GNUstep was never
    designed or intended to be a desktop
    environment.

    GNUstep is an object-oriented application
    development framework based on the original
    OpenStep specification.

    Comparing GNUstep with GNOME or KDE is like
    comparing apples with tulips.

    They are two completely different things.

    > It looks impressive to me (so far).

    In essence, that's what my desktop looks like
    every day - I'm just running BSD, X11 and an
    ICA client to connect to several Win Terminal
    Servers and/or Published Applications.

    Using the proper setup, I can have IE, Word or
    Outlook pop-up on my BSD looking EXACTLY as if
    they were running off Windoze.
    Yes, that includes elimination of X11 window
    titles and resize buttons as well.

    Again, what's the big deal? WHO knows how
    those guys created those screenshots?

    As a non-citizen, you will only be able to get
    a driver's license, if you qualify for a social
    security. That in turn needs you to have a valid
    visa plus a working permit.

    For a non-citizen who does not qualify for a
    social security, and therefor for a driver's
    license, an international driver's license
    will suffice.

  5. Re:Usability on Linux During The .Com Crash · · Score: 1

    I think that Linux desktop development should be watching Apple OSX, and use their GUI framework for something Linux could learn from.

  6. Neither is PWM (was: blackbox is not lightweight.) on A Newbie's Guide To A Lo-Fat Linux Desktop · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you REALLY want a light-weight, forget about PWM, icewm or even blackbox ...

    THIS and THIS shows what lightweight REALLY is when it comes to window managers.

    Come on, PC Mag just gave the "18th Annual Award
    of Technical Excellence" to Weendoze XP ...

    So, what does that tell us about PC Mag ???

    > If you were a real audiophile, wouldn't you

    Thank you!

    I will never understand how someone is able to
    use "I'm audiophil" and "I use CDs" in one
    sentence without choking to death. It's a
    contradiction in itself.

    You should have learned by now, that - whenever
    there is something new on Weendoze, it's a
    revolution.

    It won't matter that it's a re-invention of the
    wheel - as long as it's new to Weendoze - it's
    new to "the world" ... Just think back to the
    time Microsoft introduced Terminal Services and
    a few years before that, a GUI ...

    Just started to play Icewind Dale a few days ago,
    and so far (ok, ok, I already started playing Chapter 5) it rocks...

    The engine's look & feel basically is the same as in BG/ToSC, but the graphics made my jaw drop even more - and the sound left me nearly speachless...
