I don't. I think the animation style sucks for this type of action. Forgive me but close-up shots of square-shaped eyes grimacing as some sort of suspense is cheesy.
I know of nobody who is even aware the show exists outside of geek circles.
The.NET CLS provides a common specification for any language compiler to compile to the intermediate code for.NET. So you could very well have a Prothon.NET, as well as any other $language_you_like.NET.
The reason this article was posted was so that Slashdotters could cry out about how Linux would be everywhere if Microsoft wasn't around. Sorry, it would all be OS/2 or, possibly more likely, an Apple-dominated world. Linux would be the same level it's at now.
It's because all the tech dorks here are thinking in terms of specs (also the reason Linux on the desktop sucks right now).
Apple knows that specs aren't enough--you have to design a friendly, pleasant, usable device that also looks pretty damned cool. They make it fun.
OSS people hate that because they consider it the forte of "marketing" which is the forte of the proprietary companies they rival against. But Apple has it right. It's like people who design cars, they make the interiors look great. It's not *just* about horsepower and mileage. You have to like driving it.
This is ridiculous. Nobody held a gun to people's heads and forced them not to make their own ventures into personal computing. Nobody held a gun to Netscape's head when they put out crap browsers that allowed IE to take over.
I'm sick of this victimhood mentality. "Microsoft is a monopoly, therefore nobody is allowed to attempt anything!!" Uh, yes they are, and if their product is better, people will switch.
Who modded this as Troll? It was a geniune question.
I'm not sure how it could even be interpreted as a troll. Adobe makes both Indesign and Framemaker.
Framemaker seems to be some sort of content creator, allowing you to use master pages and such. Indesign does this. Indesign CS has been expanded to include a ton of new features.
My question was whether all their effort was going to that, hence the reason for Framemaker being killed.
Adobe's site says it's some sort of WYSIWYG editor. I'm not sure what it is, so disregard if this question makes no sense, but could Framemaker be killed off because of the new version of InDesign CS? Perhaps they're just phasing one product out with another.
I don't know what Framemaker is used for, exactly, so maybe that's a silly question.
Surely we have better things to concentrate our energy on than arguing over a naming scheme when referring to the kernel or to userspace. I think newbies are turned off from our community for this reason, among others.
They're going to just call it Linux. I don't see why that's a problem whatsoever. This isn't about stroking egos so that everyone's damn project gets named in reference. "GNU/XFree86/GNOME/Linux" sucks.
Walk the party line if you want to. Take whatever shit the Corporate lobbies have railroaded through congress if you want to.
Replace "congress" with "slashdot" and you're describing yourself.
I'm not going to pay for an artificially priced product owned by an oligopoly just because the local corrupt politician passed some draconian law to prevent me from doing that.
So don't. Or buy on iTunes. Next.
Show me a resonably priced product and I'll buy it. Keep sellling shit at high prices and I'll keep downloading.
Because something is high-priced doesn't mean you have the right to pirate it.
I don't care if it's piracy, I don't care if these people lose their jobs, I don't care if they are homeless.
If you ever lose your job or your home, I won't care either then.
No one cares if we lose our jobs when they outsource them to BFE, but the second you infringe any major company's copyrights they start whining about their staff being thrown out.
Oh, give me a fucking break. Now you're pirating because you hate outsourcing? Moron.
A bunch of rich assholes get no sympathy from me.
Like I said--that partline caters to the anti-social, anti-capitalist, generally-broke Slashdot crowd.
I'm not dropping another 18 dollars on a cd so they buy their fourth gold plated bentley.
In other words, you hate that someone made money heading a company. Apparently you think it's okay to rip someone off because you don't want to pay for it. Guess what, that's called stealing.
Sell me a cd for 50 cents or so a track and I'll buy.
They already do that. Next.
Otherwise I will not only keep downloading but I will show others how to do so.
Then you're an idiot, plan and simple. Don't come whining on Slashdot if/when you get sued for violating law.
Not to mention the sueing of a 10 year old girl who thought what she was doing was legal and moral, and an 80 year old grandpa who didn't even own a computer. But that's besides the point.
Right. Because the RIAA was somehow able to know when they filed suit against the list of usernames that one of them was a 10-year-old girl ("who thought what she was doing was legal and moral"...give me a break, now she knows better) and an 80 year old guy.
Both were dropped or settled. They're irrelevant.
Artists sign their contracts. The only people you're ripping off is copyright holders. You do NOT have the right to pirate the hell out of their works just because you have a grudge against capitalism. That's the bottom line.
You must know there are people on this earth with different mores, values, laws, beliefs, etc. in which there would be *at least* something wrong with the current antics of the riaa.
What antics? Suing people breaking the law who are illegally distributing their product? This is extremely simple. People are violating their copyright. So the RIAA sues them. There really isn't that much of a story to it.
How can Slashdot expect people to follow the GPL, but avert its eyes when it comes to violating copyright?
Your a naughty slashdot user, you didn't read this article from 4 days ago!
I guess you accept Slashdot as fact?
CD sales go up in Australia, and magically that means file-sharing contributed?
If piracy has nothing to do with decreased CD sales (as Slashdot constantly claims), why does it suddenly have a connection when sales go up in another country?
Moreover, this sounds like.NET for games..NET has yet to establish itself anywhere useful except as an architecture for Web Development. That's all back-end.
Has yet to establish itself anywhere? Have you ever used.NET or even read up on it? Did you know the next version of Windows is using.NET entirely, replacing Win32? Even the latest betas have explorer.exe running as managed code.
I guess you also forgot the Mono project. Seriously,.NET is here to stay. I wonder what Slashdotters will have to say three years from now when it is absolutely everywhere. You can program it in any language (the Common Language Specification means all languages will produce the same intermediate code), it's portable, it's secure, and it's going to be the technology Longhorn is based on. Deal with it.
And does photoshop still have broken alpha, there it tried to use a non-standard tiff layer to represent what 100% of other software places in a standardised alpha layer?
Answer--no.
Congratulations for getting clueless mods on your side, though.
Oh? Did you see the story when it was posted?

I personally think that it's becoming the groupthink/chic thing to do to point out that the Slashdot crowd doesn't like Microsoft.
I think you're purposely being naive if you don't recognize that there is a decidedly anti-"M$" slant here.
Personally, I'd say the posting of that story should stand as proof that Slashdot isn't so biased as you seem to indicate.
Did you even see it? The study indicated that Linux was the most-breached OS. So what does Slashdot do when they post it? Change the headline to read, "Linux Most-Attacked OS?" They change "breached" to "attacked" and add a question mark.
Then we get an article called "Microsoft Violates Human Rights In China" because Windows has a userbase there. Never mind that China has its own custom Linux distribution.

Play the blame game and blame everything else for OSS lack of acceptance.
No, because jealousy + fanatical religious fundamentalism = planes going into buildings.
If we weren't around, it would have been some other "infidel's" buildings.
The .NET CLS provides a common specification for any language compiler to compile to the intermediate code for .NET. So you could very well have a Prothon .NET, as well as any other $language_you_like.NET.
The reason is simple. Everyone knew Macs were the better systems, but x86 was cheap and therefore available everywhere in massive cloned quantities.
Cheap, easy to mass-produce--all you needed was a Mac-ripoff OS to make it graphical.
You are wrong on so many levels, I can't even begin to describe it.
No...the very, very last thing we need is to "go back to that world when unix and wang computers dominated the scene."
Sorry, that's no excuse.
If people use crap, that doesn't mean you emulate the crap; you make something better so they'll prefer yours to theirs.

Slashdot: The iPod-mini is overpriced and has no target audience!
Rest of the world: We don't give a flying fuck!

I don't know what Framemaker is used for, exactly, so maybe that's a silly question.
...a volunteer effort that could die off/fork/etc. any day?
That "proprietary shit" stays alive as long as people have a demand for it.
I just have to ask...
Who fucking cares?
Surely we have better things to concentrate our energy on than arguing over a naming scheme when referring to the kernel or to userspace. I think newbies are turned off from our community for this reason, among others.

Hell, Y-Windows is thinking of using SVG for describing all their widgets. They plan a 1.0 release within the year.
SVG is being used almost everywhere I look. Icons are just the beginning.
