Anouncing planes before they exist is standard procedure in aviation. A plane will not be built unless there are enough orders for it. Just like the 747 and the A380.
Not *everyone* likes to, or can read long stories/books/manuals online.
When the radio arrived, they said: Well, that's the end of the newspaper.
When the TV arrived, they said: Well, that's the end of the radio.
When the Internet arrived, they said: Well that's the end of radio, TV and newspaper.
All three of them are still around, and probably will stay around for a couple of eons. There will be no such thing as a paperless society.

Good chance for young writers

Books on Demand

This is grand,
No more stock doing nothing. Ten books sold, ten books printed. 1000 trees saved...
And books will be cheaper because of reduced transport costs.
But the really grand thing in it is it'll give new writers a chance. How many publishers are willing to risk to press 10,000 books if they're not sure the book's going to succeed? Now they can just deliver the electronic version, and if it'll succeed, cool. If it doesn't, less money wasted.
I'm sure Microsoft has spent that much over the years on Office+Win9x+WinNT+Backoffice+etc (basically the functionality provided by RH 7.1)
Yeah, sure. Can you help me to find the rpm's
(or deb's, or tarballs whatever) for equivalents for:
MS Access
SQL Server
Exchange Server
etc...
And I didn't even start comparing features (I prefer Excel over the bloated gnome/kde variants).
Sorry lad, but basically Microsoft is still ahead of RH, Debian, and the whole Linux community.
Most of the memory overhead in X is due to pixmaps (allocated by applications, not by X self), and memory maps... So X isn't as bloated as you think, when looking at top(1).
X runs even on the Compaq iPAQ, so that proves that X isn't bloated...
AFAIK the GUI and Tracker lean too heavily on the underneath layers of the BeOS. I don't think you can easily port it over to X or something. The whole concept of BeOS was building it up from scratch. So every mere part of it, is quite new technology, which relies on implementation of that technology in the whole OS. Ie. the GUI is multithreaded: it works so well, because the kernel is natively multithreaded, and fine-grained. Most UNIX kernels aren't (at least, not in the way dat BeOS is). So porting the GUI over, would only result in YATK (Yet Another ToolKit) and YAWM (Yet Another WindowManager), without any technical advances which the BeOS has.

That's got to be one hell of an AntiPattern, I guess.
.NET 2.0 has resizable dialogs. SQL Server Management Studio uses these throughout the application.
Please speak for yourself. Not everyone in The Netherlands has joined the bash-the-government bandwagon.
How on earth is just naming an OS Insightful???
Lit. The People's Paper.
One of the largest newspapers, with a social-democratic (in US, liberal) influence.
Bernoulli is not appropriate for explaining why airplanes fly. Read this.

Last time I checked, my bookmark pointed to slashdot.org, and not to freshmeat.net.
