OpenMoko is primarily a HW platform + kernel bits, AFAIK. Wouldn't this... help them?? I mean, I would LOVE an OpenMoko phone with Ubuntu. I don't see the poster's logic.
"The Neo1973 is the first phone designed to run OpenMoko. It is manufactured by FIC who instigated the OpenMoko project."
Project run by HW company, I can't imagine them being sad there is more embedded linux SW dev happening, especially by a major distro as opposed to another HW company.
That's just off the top of my head. There are a LOT of acts doing this, almost all electronic acts at this point. Nobody wants to lug around irreplaceable hardware anymore unless they're REALLY into it.
Well, not directly. Both were on Intel's site. It would seem that it was more an attempt to force controversy, both times. Especially the way it's ended:
Windows:
These are just some of the reasons that I think Windows threads is a better threading API than Pthreads. What do you think? Do you have other reasons to prefer Windows threads? Or do you think Pthreads is the better threading method? I'd like to hear about your preferences.

This looks intentional to generate discussion. Does this "Clay" work for IBM? Is Clay trying to make the boards look active? Does Clay work for someone else? Is Clay trying to get someone else to do his/her (probably his, but i've learned not to assume) research?
The "Serious Games" buzzword frequently refers to military training, first responder simulations, interactive political simulations, etc. They are typically not designed to be even remotely entertaining. The phrase is relatively new and should be more like "interactive simulation".
The "Edutainment" buzzword typically refers to K-12 educational games, and simple simulations. It's a pretty old phrase and pretty well understood.
Because Square has no actual *product* it's tough to tell where they lie.
SWT / jFace (IBM / Eclipse IDE) gets a lot more of these things right on Macs than AWT / Swing (Sun), but I guess that's kind of a Duh, that being the whole point of SWT. Swing STILL doesn't even work correctly on windows! (try a remote desktop session with different resolutions and a full-screen swing app...)
TCL/TK works like TCL/TK on whatever platform you use it. On a mac it's kinda scary because I've used a few apps that do weird things on right click, some that have odd-sized (but still important:\) buttons disappear, etc.
I have not seen too many Qt apps for mac, not sure why, and can't think of one off the top of my head...
GTK is still only in X11 on OS X.
wxWidgets, hmm. Seems decent, it's next on my list for trying, but I can't think of many apps written in it that i've used on the mac. I recall it not being that stable? I'm dumb and haven't seriously investigated for like 2 yrs, so i may be totally dumb and wrong.
But yeah, parent poster is so spot on. You may think your app is cross platform because it builds. Try opening it next time, especially your mac build. Then try: * editing text in a field (most notably the end and home keys do not do what they do on win/lin) * printing * changing preferences * fullscreen * adding extended characters (such as option-n, option-e, etc)
There are well defined things your app is *supposed* to do. Does it?
(if so i totally wanto 0wnx0r a c0pyyy + yr srczzz!)
I second the Sedgewick books. I still need to get through the second one (graphs) but it has great diagrams and thorough explanations without being as strictly rigorous as something like Knuth. However, I do have to say that the writing is still confusing in parts, and the source code (I got the C++ edition) is sometimes a little too terse but is very much like operating systems code.
If you want design patterns, the seminal book is Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides text "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software". It's the standard, but kinda hard to read. I've been reading "Head First Design Patterns" on O'Reilly's Safari books online - it's much easier to digest, but stylistically may be a bit too cheeky for you. YMMV. These books are hits #1 and #2 on Amazon when you search for Design Patterns.
Also, don't dismiss network algorithms! Ok, now I'm done:)
I can't remember exactly where I heard, but a company called Ibrix is doing exactly what you're looking for. So much so, in fact, that I was suspicious that this was a spam question;)
Their site seems to be down now, but google for them and you will see articles.
3D without glasses? yeah, saw it 2 years ago at the Detroit Auto Show. Ford had what looked to be a 6-foot long x 3-foot high flat-panel that was displaying a 3D image. No glasses, opaque, full color, animating airflow. Freaked the hell out of me. I believe the Ford displays are mentioned in the article on the first page...
.. So, why is everyone crying pipe dream / vaporware? Slashdot makes Insta-Experts? I couldn't have imagined.
The link takes you to a ZDnet article which exclaims that
Stardock
was the company under fire. No one else.
What does stardock make? Windowblinds, a windows GUI replacement tool. And what is Aqua? a GUI. So this is not apple "coming down on anyone using the aqua likeness." Far from it. If one were to investigate, they'd see that apple is protecting their GUI from knock-off GUIs from the competition.
Apple is surprisingly good about this kind of thing IMHO. Previously, not themes were removed from themes.org or anywhere else if they did not actually use the string "aqua" in their names. (To this day there is a mac OS 9 appearance manager theme called "Liquid.") Apple lets all the TV and toaster and hair-dryer makers use the iMac style for their products, as long as they are not selling computers, which would be direct competition stealing brand value. So, it would logically follow that apple would try and stop OS GUI makers from copying a copyrighted OS GUI. That sounds like a pretty valid use of copyright... that is, if they are violating fair use. Considering that Stardock sells WindowBlinds for money, this should be cut and dry logic.

Luke Vibert - holy shit. Saw him at RX in SF, at first I didn't realize he wasn't using any controllers.

If you know the original tracks that he's dropping, you will be flabbergasted. He fucks up, too
the videos kinda suck, but that's the difference between live and youtube

kid606 uses controllers, but it's closer to the "instrument" that you're talking about, but not using normal midi keyboards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_tstjIePcA
the kid606 vids on youtube really tend to not show off the laptoppery
and there are a ton of traditional musicians using the computer as the synth for the keyboard

For being someone who called everyone ignorant, you still didn't answer:
What happens when someone else knows (/steals) your single-sign-in identity and password?
I think that's really what everyone jumped on.
By yes, meaning there is work on it, sorry for being misleading (i need to use the preview button more)
That's exactly what I came here to post on it... But, does react OS work with Xen? Yes!
