And that's called marketing hype, it's not true. It'll be many years before they can even hope of over taking SUN sales, if ever. Apple will be the highest volume vendor of the desktop UNIX world(an extremely small market).
AAAHHHH I hate it when people say this. I'm not a big mac fan but from what I know the Mac is a perfect example of easy to learn and easy to use. There's key macros for just about everything as well as the ability to use the mouse. MacOS has apple-script, runs perl and tons of stuff even runs a shell(you just need to download it). Most MacOS apps have key-macros for just about everything. You can also get a shell for windows(a real one), and do all sorts of crazy stuff, windows I know is a very flexible system(You can run most UNIX apps on it, look at cgywin). Look at the typical CDE/KDE/GNOME app, not only are most of them poorly designed making them not easy to learn there difficult to use even when you do learn them. You unproved your own point, the reason that you find UNIX apps easy to use is because you've allready learned them, Windows and MacOS are easy to use but unlike UNIX apps they let you cheat and give you an easy maybe slower way. The thing is that the UNIX philosophy is flexibility in depth, therefore if people made UNIX software correctly they should have an easy to use way. Linux does alot of things well, but is very far from perfect, even from an advanced users perspective.
The OS in a gaming console dosen't need to be anything special just a simple OS that puts some drivers together. The fact that they chose linux realy dosen't mean much except that there's less hardware support that they have to do themselves, and maybe GeForce3 drivers will be realy fast for linux.
There is a common widget set API called Motif, it's even an open standard and there are LGPL implimentations. If people complain that Motif is dificult to use or inflexible or something then they should work on the standard, if CDE blows, again it's an open evolving standard. If X dosen't have AA fonts write an implimentation, put it under a BSD type liscence and work like mad to get vendors to use it, there the people that sit at standard comittes.
This is a very offtopic post, I'm using a windows box right now and I desprately need to change the clock speed(don't ask why). The unfortunate part is that I have no idea were to get help with windows(I use linux). Can anyone please help me, or direct me to a site where I can get help with this, prefrably help me. I'm using WinME with a P-III.
Some people just run buisnesses, they'll use good software no matter who makes it..Net is a big server thing, I suspect that there aren't all that many linux users(that don't use linux for buisness) that could afford it in the first place. MS makes some good software windows is just not a good example(monopoly's bring no incentive to inovate).
Before you can compile for different OS's/processors you have to have that OS or processor. You just need to be patient if your running anyting but x86 RedHat.
It's more than that, it also has OpenOffice a mp3 player and more. I think that this is partialy because Eazel wanted Natilus to be a huge part of GNOME. More or less the make natilus the GNOME UI and more people will see the Eazel services stuff.
Yes, there will definitely be a solaris build. Sun workstations will be coming with GNOME at GNOME 2.0, and SUN has deals and stuff with Eazel. The thing is that they have not finished packaging, they may not have a FreeBSD system so they have to wait. there will be Eazel builds for just about everyting, they'll just take a while.

This is a good guide on how to REALY overclock a CPU.

There is not a market for more that 2 car companies, nevermind 3.

Back in my day we had to chew binary in rock, then run the program in our heads.

Thanks Robert.
Gtk 2.0 will do this
Yea loosing hardware acceleration will give you a huge speed boost.
What's the 16th ammendment? It's good to see that the US follows the constitution when it comes to money, Oh wait never mind.
This make me wonder why no one's done something like a GNOME-libs for Qt, it might be a little more work but it's possible.
Wait a week.

What's wrong with competition?

It's kinda hard to do PPC builds if you don't have a PPC computer.

Why use GPL code when theres perfectly good BSD code.
Why is he a Troll, because he mentioned Microsoft did something good?
It's slower.
No, kewl d00ds use ksh, or emacs f3wL.
Who's paying? Will you get fired if an Oracle DB breaks? Will you get fired if a MySQL DB breaks? Seems to be a no brainer.
