Kylix was a hacked WINE'd (IIRC) Delphi IDE and compiler that had a brutally hacked Delphi's VCL (component library) named CLX (which was backported to Windows to allow advertising it as a cross-platform thing). It produced binaries for 32-bit x86 CPUs for specific versions of runtimes (libc included) and used QT (not KDE integrated of course) to handle application GUI. It had IMHO an overall crippled Windows version feel.
C# is not "native Windows app", it's.NET app. Ruby - what library gives you native windows UI (like, with XP themes, advanced Windows controls etc, for example?). C++ - of course:) What library? MFC?
Actually, starting with v6 Ubuntu live CDs and install CDs are the same one disk. Ubuntu installs from link icon on live CD's desktop. Very cool idea, actually.
Please disable "screen saver" feature altogether. DPMS sleep modes work much, much better for "screen saving" (and screen saver of course do not save energy at all). Flying shits and "nice" landscapes may be kinda fun for a first time but that time ended about 20 years ago. Oh, same applies to all unices and macs of course. I have colleagues who have screensavers running on there PCs/laptops for _days_ (as on weekends) and monitors never go to sleep. Sigh.
The amounts you talk about on interview may be nothing like you really get. On my pre-last job I settled on one thing and then several months later boss decided that he should cut in by a third and pay the difference as bonuses (theoretically even more than it was before, yeah, right). Of course bonuses only applied if boss was happy. And when you are a "small cog".... Well, you can go down depression road pretty easily. And climbing back may be a bit toughy.
Except that the better software the less support it should require. Such line of thinking stimulates making software unnecessary complicated (or even buggy).
If there's nothing to discuss - what value is there in the "comments"? Let's post a story about a piece of shit and then we'll be discussing its smell and color for two hours... Great. Really - what anyone can say about this story (which was immediately/.'ed, BTW, without any mirrors or whatnot of course)? Yeah... I liked that and that game 15 years back. Yeah, those were the days. Yeah, current games suck ass except it's from Nintendo. There's nothing NEW in this story and it all have been "discussed" to death already million times.
... Today, the buzz has moved elsewhere. Slashdot's editor-driven story selection model is being supplanted by user-generated systems such as Digg. According to recent Alexa data, Digg already has more daily reach and generates more page views than Slashdot. Malda knows his subject, and he's a good editor, but in the end, he's just no match for the power of the multitudes.
See - we've been warning you but no luck. What is so difficult for you in making voting system for stories? Admit - Digg has it right. You do not. OTOH - digg's comments suck ass. Oh, well.... When your readers move away you'll lose (pretty soon, probably) all you have really got - your readers (aka writers). It won't be easy to get them (us) back.... Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder - is slashdot editor a paid job? What are the responsibilities of an editor when he's on a shift?

C++ - of course
You wish. It will be dead when Win32 is dead. Many people stick with Delphi 5.0 (1998) still.
Of course they do! It includes VB.NET and apparently VBA (Office Apps) BTW.
There's Europe and especially eastern Europe where it's historically big.
BTW - if you'd need to develop a native Windows GUI distributable app what would you use?
Because "It does indeed work as advertised" is not on any of product feature checklists. Maybe it should be.

I dunno, but keep your fetishes to yourself please! :D

But, yeah, it was pretty lame, I think.

Drink some poison, dude.

Fuck you.
No, that cake is all over Vista team's face.
I guess I'd like to live on the Moon. In a free self-governed colony of course. But maybe I had read too much sci-fi in my teens.
How can we be sure he's not bullshitting us?
NO, IT DOES NOT!!!
Now I want a "Linux Genuine Advantage" t-shirt. :(
Surely you mean "more full of 'video'"?

And they say Digg's "stories" are junk... Yeah, way to go, /. - really news and stuff that matters. Very insightful.

Oh, Microsoft - the goatse of standards! But still can't implement CSS1.
