Uh, you might check the byline of the article then check the names on the spine of "Just For Fun." Obviously this is a journalist out to [ka-ching!] cash in on the Linux controversy.
First you read. Then you comprehend and place in context. Finally we get somewhere.
That's something different and still maintained (at least in Debian) although it's nothing to write home about. The current version is 2.x and still has some rendering problems that need to be resolved.
about all this icky patent stuff here which I'm assuming was the impetus for this announcements timing despite the fact that these four have been scheming for a while.
I can just picture this poor bastard being hung out to dry by administration in hopes of securing a better price break on a campus level agreement or trying to avoid the long arm of the BSA.
but jeez wouldn't it be great to introduce topics like this into the court system? This would at least give folks more legal ground/precedent to stand on in future court cases.
I guess that strategy isn't working out so swell.Or maybe it's all just an incredible coincidence. Given the promotional push (read:throwing money at) that Microsoft has given to the idea of their product on the big iron lately this isn't too surprising.
April 1st is anathema to news sites.

I've been cringing all morning long while wondering whether anything I read is real or not. Seems like most of the fake news is pretty obvious this year although I was caught by the story about installing OS X on x86. Maybe we're suffering from the post-9/11, Columbine shootings, social imperative to play nice even if it's not very fun.
has been standard on the console for way too many years even as far back as the Atari 2600. Games were rushed out to take advantage of movie tie-ins on a pretty regular basis. Think of the E.T cartridge for 2600. I've heard about a small landfill being created with the leftover copies of this game. That's why we read game reviews.
There are still many bugs...

in OS X. I do campus level support for a few hundred Macintoshes. I have a G4 running OS X at work and use a Linux/Win machine at home. Using this OS in a mixed OS (various Win varients, VMS, legacy Mac OS, Solaris, etc) is problematic.
The first (and for me, biggest) problem is connections to NT servers. While simple access to the file servers is pretty straightforward, any attempt to copy files or otherwise manipulate them will crash the finder. I spent a week working with a software engineer from Apple and, to be fair, he was unaware of this bug. After I demonstrated this to him he got on the phone to his home office immediately. Maybe future versions will correct this problem.
The second issue: The desktop version of OS X is supposed to be a client version of the operating system. It isn't yet. Using the server version of 10 only allows you to remotely administer 9.x machines. This is frustrating after convincing the suits to kick down big bucks for an unlimited connection license of the server OS.
It disturbs me that I cannot read "Insightful" comments. I'll make to dumb down all of my comments to make sure they're visible to the unwashed masses. All grousing aside - this doesn't really compel one to do much posting.

The Simpsons will be the only legal method of criticizing anything.

that they just hung out for a while and had some snacks. A LAN party before the heist perhaps?
Um, no. SPAM is unsolicited. If JonKatz emailed you about his book then you'd have a case.
Let's keep our petty griping straight here.

The whole Unix is Bad and Hard for Your Teeny Little Brain to Process strategy is apparently failing too since they're running the website on BSD.
