as soon as you stop whining and write the driver yourself, you lazy idiot. Next time, check the documentation to see whether the card you're buying is supported. It's not that hard.
I'd be more convinced if he had given some (ANY!) examples of popular open-source software floundering under its own success. Until he can do that, his whole rant is mere speculation.
BTW, what did he mean by "Linux going commercial?" at the end of the article? It's GPL, ace.
Linux was beta once, too! Maybe at the time, when considering Linux, you also believed...

I am a Gnome fan. I admit KDE currently rules as superior desktop environment for Linux. Where do you think we'll be in 2 years? I'm sorry, but Gnome's GTK+, Corba, and scripting support will simply blow KDE out of the water. Sorry.
Flame me if I'm wrong, but I thought the GPL states that the source MUST be included with any binaries you distribute. They say they are only supplying "important" sources, all others you must either pay extra for or download them off of FTP. As far as I'm concerned, this is a violation of the GPL. Losers...
I think what is every linux server needs is a "Channel Bar". Think of all the new technologies we could incor- porate into the OS kernel! I envision: ActiveConsole ActiveSockets ActiveTTY s Active/dev/null ActiveKernelPanic DirectCoreD ump, etc.
Just one I came up with off the top of my head... White text on blue background during login. Would use FAT, FAT32, NTFS fs modules. Extra kernel would kill all processes and demand a system reboot after 30 mins.; for simulated Microsoft NT "look and feel". Costs $250, each new version is a complete rewrite of the previous, and forces you to upgrade all other software on your system, too. Two words- browser integration What do you think, sirs? (Back to work...)
All legitimate points. I don't think it's enought to force me to migrate to Be quite yet, though. Not that it should stop anyone else...:) Be OS really needs a killer app to attract people (like myself) entrenched in other platforms.
Please elaborate! I don't have much experience with BeOS, so I can't make any assumptions re: your comment. I'm not a huge fan of X, so I'm interested to hear how BeOS could be considered an improvement. Maybe you're just refering to the BeOS GUI, in which case X is not the problem, but instead whatever GUI running on top of it!
They may be Fugly, but they are the best case I've ever seen for adding/removing/repairing hardware components. The whole side of the thing opens up like a drawbridge, even when its running! Very slick. (I set one up at work last week). I even sorta like the weird handles. Everyone here who sees it wants one, because it looks "cool". I'm not sure how "cool" they look, but they're very functional.
Look at all the posts above. 1 about the actual article and a dozen about the military-industrial complex! Not the appropriate forum! Please Sengan! You are ruining it for everyone! How can we placate you so you'll stop editorializing!!!
"While personally I don't like weapons..." Please. sengan. I come to slashdot for news and discussions, not for *your* non-tech-related political views. I know it was just one comment you slipped into the blurb. But please don't waste the time of the thousands of slashdot readers who visit every hour, and couldn't give a RAT'S ASS what your views on the military are.
regarding the article, I find the idea of a class-action suit against MS (mentioned at the end of the article) very interesting. That would definitely be one way to punish MS, if the Judge doesn't want to break them up into baby Bills.

Why should I put any effort into my post? (S)He
apparently didn't.
I'll ignore it when (s)he stops posting off-topic

No, of course not. It's GPL. You can modify and
you can distribute, but you must release the code.
That clinches it! I'm formatting my remaining
