Netscape tried to do this, make the browser the OS. It dosen't seem like all that bad of an idea, take something like ezeal, it'll be able to use OpenOffice components, browse the web, and organize and play your mp3's. While I may never use this, it seems all nice and intergrated, you have a lot of buttons, so everything is just right there, no more browsing hierchies(probably spelled wrong). And you have a nice URL thing for a somewhat command line like interface, not only that it wouldn't be hard to impliment ls, ps, df, adduser buttons, that work in the text area. Have a nice few rows of buttons on the left side, a text area on the right that applications can be used in, the panel thing can be minimized so it's not really in the way. The rows on the left can just be a hacked panel. Although I said no hierchies, you could have each buttons change the panel to show maybe the sysadmin panel, buy pushing the sysadmin button, and have a back button to get back. The only problem of that is that of multiple programs at once. Since this would also be the file manager it would be work with MIME types. In the word processor to open a file, the word processor would just minimize and the file part of the interface would be there. I just though of this while I was typing, and I'm just a 17 year old kid(with horrible spelling and grammer, I don't try). The most confusing thing is finding things, and the "start" menu wasen't a terribly great way to solve this, that though is the OS interaction most people care about. Just do it with a big panel on the side with buttons like office, sys admin, development, some other crap. Then if the user clicks the "office" button, the panel thing now has buttons, Writer, Spreadsheat, Drawing, Back, etc.... Again this has plenty of potental problems, I'd probably have to think about it some more(wich I probably wont), but anyways at the end of my sensless rant "Dont copy MS Windows, it sucks, and always will, theres a better way, except for visual studio, make a free version for UNIX/Linux, but don't copy there APIs!".

Does this mean that Microsoft is astro-turfing Linux Today? Given the recent declaration of war against Linux by Microsoft -- and the fact that Microsoft is renowned for its astroturfing actions in the past -- we'll let you decide.
Open source means cheats get fixed faster. The developers would probably find the potental cheat before the people playing. Not too many people are willing, or have the ability, to study millions of lines of code to cheat on a game.
Where can I get a minimalistic PDA

Cheap Linux PDAs
·
· Score: 1
This might be a little off topic, but does anyone know where I can get a PDA that has only ash, telnet, and a few other basic things, for like $40 or under. I've looked everywhere but cannot find one for under $100, which I find to be a rip-off, mostly because i don't need a calander or X or anything.
Microsoft predicted that linux will be gone before the years over. You might as well get windows now so by the end of the year you'll be fully aquanted with. If your a programmer it's too late, the Win32 API takes at least 5 years to learn, so make sure you get VB also, that will keep you a job for a while.
You definitely forgot to fix the memory management. Just impliment this.
void free(void *mem)
{
mem = 0;
}
and dont forget to use a hex editor to cut out some lines in a few random spots, and let email run scripts that can delete files unchecked.
We can't stop there though MS is years ahead of us and rapidly moving forwand..Net will include a much improved version of free
void free(void *mem)
{
malloc(rand());
mem = rand();
*mem = 0;
}
and run nothing but non portable interpreted code (even in the kernel! man there good!).

Do you plan to use the Win32 API or put a layer on top of MFC, or what. Win32 is almost impossible to use, and MFC is huge bloat plus a layer on top of that, that you write. Have you ever done this before, can you show me a piece of software you wrote that does this. I've tryed before and made a huge mess out of things, gave up on the windows port(fortunately wasn't for a job).
While I don't believe that many people will buy at that price, there's going to be a free edition anyways for GPL software:). And $1000 will probably save money on a comercial project, even if it wasn't cross platform.
Kylix uses winelib so that the IDE and the libs could be developed at the same time, remember they have a full IDE allready. I'm sure they'll take that out before the 3 version.
RPM is GPL, that's why so many other distros use it. Ezeal is also GPL so debian will include it also. If RedHat makes shoddy.deb support impliment it yourself, it's allready there so you'd just have to keep up, not that hard with 2 people.
RPM is better than debs, some people think apt is better than the RPM front end, but that's if you like random packages installed as root. Plus apt was made to support multiple package formats, theres allready an apt frontend to RPM. Hopefully debs will die soon!
I think this is more for being able to run stuff like freenet, or view man pages and stuff. It just let's you use any protocol you want. You could view you files of NFS files eisly in the browser, or even run ls and get the output on the browser edisly, this isn't bloat either beacause it all 100% modular.
I'm not sure I completely understand this, but does this mean that mozilla could be used as a FreeNet front end, with only a few lines of code? Or even be used to as front end to napster with a bunch of code?

Will you actualy save money hiring a lawyer to protect your fan inovations. Lawyers cost alot of money, fan technolodgy, not so much I would think.

768 GB of RAM? Is that a typo?
vi vs. emacs
Is there a fancy text widget in Inti, theres none documented?
Don't use top that will fix the problem.

According to Borland the IDE uses winelib, though it will eventually be 100% native.

It's as unsafe as any software, anyting can delete your files. Just be careful where you get your plugins from(or all your free software).
That and the shared library things, documentation, and po files. Packaging puts everything in the right place for you, thats all.
