If BeOS were a woman, it would beelle. If Linux were a woman, it would be weird science. If Windows were a woman, it would be as good looking as a blow-up bill doll

i hope amd do well with K7's because the problem is intel is the only one making money. even though amd are selling the chips they are missing out on the higher prices that intel enjoy (read mega profits) that they can churn back into R&D, marketing and distribution.

also capacity to produce. this is a major factor. I was reading just yesterday that amd are going for the break in intels chip release schedule (xeon pIII delays) and charging at a premium instead of having to discount them. If amd can sort out their production, the money will follow good product.
yeah I agree, but it also shows a technological generation gap b/w the commentator and the current L-users.
He maybe one smart cookie but I cant help thinking that he's missing the point about open source software - it's free, high quality, there are fast updates, available on many platforms and being developed around the clock etc, etc.
It reminds me of the mainframers/mini computer users knocking the pc and all those eminantly qualified persons who missed the internet, when any student at college could see it's potential.

What Linux needs is more developers. It has a never-ending thirst for them. The more you get, the more gems you get, the more likely the tough, killer apps, drivers, and infrastructure are developed.
well i think the third-party tools developers are also hoping for this as well. not long after the Linux is Not Red Hat (red-hat/codewarrior) article, i got an email from mark of metroworks customer service asking a few questions and agreed to a comment i made about the 'new breed' of application developers that will eventually flood linux.
... linux distributions such as 'rh', suse and caldera (and i single these distro's out because they are targeting the business market..) gain more market share the developers will more likely be 'application-developers' rather than the traditional hard core system hackers typified by the comment, 'true coders used Debian and Slackware'....

58% The Spotless System
Summary: Welcome to the Spotless System Page. The Spotless system is an experimental Java[TM]* system for the Palm Connected Organizer. It includes a JVM that supports the complete bytecode set and dynamic class loading, and class libraries and demo applications. It is the result of a Sun Microsystems Laboratories research project exploring the construction of small JVMs. It is not a supported product.
so they certainly link the 'kJava' to spotless! but this may not be the final release version.
On April 28th 1999, the UK Government announced that Windows NT 4.0 has been successfully evaluated at the E3/F-C2 level. This evaluation, which is roughly equivalent to a C2 evaluation according to the US "Orange Book", confirms what millions of customers already know--that Windows NT Server provides the security needed by banking, health care, military and other customers, as well as the flexibility and ease of use demanded by small business and home users. (the emphasis is mine)

"...The Itsy Pocket Computer is a small handheld computer based on the low-power, high-performance StrongARM SA-1100 microprocessor. Our current prototype runs at 200MHz on a pair of AAA batteries, and sports a tiny, high-resolution LCD touchscreen, a high-quality audio codec, and up to 64MB of memory. Itsy is designed to be an open platform for research projects ranging from OS power management to novel gesture and speech-based user interfaces. The base Itsy hardware provides a flexible interface for adding a custom daughtercard, enabling a wide range of hardware projects such as wireless networking and GPS. Itsy also supports the Linux OS and standard GNU tools, facilitating the development of both kernel and application software, as well as ports of existing packages such as Apache...." source
Who would use Kaffe when they could get the real mccoy from Sun for free
Id software for one (well almost). While they where evaluating using java for QII (long time ago now) JC was talking to transvirtual about using Kaffe...but it never happened, for technical (coding in java at that time) reasons.

cool ron, in the linux community actions speak louder than words. i know u can run 'cw' on other linux distro's but dont support them. how about putting up publically on yr website how you do this listing the changes needed to be made....a sort of an faq on working with other distributions, investigate LSB etc... this sort of help will give yr company more cred. (and sales) than any bucket load of cash.
the platform and development can be greatly improved with tools such as 'mw'.
can u give 'us an url to go peek at the win32 perl version yr using. i remember having a look at it many moons ago and i wasn't impressed. guess i'll have to goto perl.org.....
yeah i cant understand why 'tcl/tk' combo, isn't used more (ah mention the name 'sun' anyone?). If anyones interested, go to the scriptics.com site and take a gander.
m$windows has always lacked a standard scripting language, unless you count vbscript, vba and visual basic. dont fancy learning 'm$-perl' though.
Microsoft also paid Inprise $100 million for the rights to use Inprise-patented technology in Microsoft products
yep now you have 'm$' with it's foot in the door for cross platform tools (read linux). guess those intellectual-assets will be sucked dry by 'm$' and 'm$-borgified' (read re-engineered and stuffed up).
borland was a good alternative once and they still make nice tools but..there goes the hood!
well after a bit of a search on the site i failed to find any references to yr question. I distinctly remember this being discussed on the 'magic project' page saying the cost would be > expensive than the windows port. Someone if they can proove me wrong. the turn around time in emailing support/sales will be too long.
Opera do themselves a bit of a disservice here because the balence between developing a browser, keeping it complient to standards and release time is difficult. Is the oss community up to it?
Nothing is really 'free'. It is merely subsidized by other products. It is done in the interest of market share and domination, but not necessarily in the interest of the user.
Will my windows license be transferrable? the simple answer (caveat: last time someone asked this question and i looked) - is no.
but i may be wrong....i will check this out soon. the main reason i used opera is standards. opera has worked hard to comply with w3's standards. plus having mdi allowed me to have multiple sites open w/o having multiple browsers....

Compaq has licensed Kaffe for the Linux-based Itsy Pocket Computer
found this browsing their site (down the bottom of the page or search for compaq)...anyone know about this one?
Who would use Kaffe when they could get the real mccoy from Sun for free
Id software for one (well almost). While they where evaluating using java for QII (long time ago now) JC was talking to transvirtual about using Kaffe...but it never happened, for technical (coding in java at that time) reasons.

the platform and development can be greatly improved with tools such as 'mw'.
the fact that they put out C++ hasn't killed the compiler market, has it?
though the number of competitive commercial 'c' compilers on the windows platform hasn't exactly florished.
can u give 'us an url to go peek at the win32 perl version yr using. i remember having a look at it many moons ago and i wasn't impressed. guess i'll have to goto perl.org.....
