step 1) person has brlliant idea step 2) person shares idea in good spirit step 3) M$ has money, develops said idea, gets more money, everyone else is shafted.
anyone else forsee this tragedy happening? what's to prevent M$ or other bastards from hell taking an idea and developing it to further their own ends leaving the rest of us shut out because they had the cash the fastest. having no IP is a double edged sword! think about it, where's the motivation for a new company to come in with a new idea if all ideas are free. only those with the most money will win:-( knowledge is power and if you take away that knowledge how will the little guy compete?
...I was going to email this but for all the others who didn't get my little joke: in one of the Star Trek movies, I think it was VI, Spock says there is an old Vulcan saying; "Only Nixon could go to China". Now, if you don't get that, you shouldn't have skipped so many history classes:-)
...you people will drown in your own negative confusion./. was interesting when I got here a year ago but all this negativity is just too much. Here's an idea. How's about any one who's registered here boycotts the comments section til and just looks at the news page for a few weeks/months til this nonsense dies down. I can't decide if I'm in the middle of 'elitest central' or a zerg swarm. sheesh.
oh yeah and there was that MkLinux thing as well. It ran okay on PCI and NuBus based Macs and was the only Linux choice for PPC macs for a while. the people at Apple working on that ar apparently involved in the OS X Server/Darwin project due to thier experince.
Apple has had and sold AUX then AIX on it's hardware. You can still buy liscense upgrades for them. Years of experience no less. And they produced software that ran in unix and allowed Macs to access X Windows from the Mac OS. On top of that, the people in charge of the OS are from NeXT. Think about it.
Nobody around here is going to beleive you til you give us some names. Until then you're just an offensive blustering a.c. and you my dear man are the one who needs to get a clue with your outrageous uninformed comments as to who I am or who my friends are yadda yadda
big whoop! so what you're really saying is that either you can't finish what you start or you're coding is so bad you couldn't come up with anything worth releasing. you know, if you applied for a job coding they'd want examples of your work, esp. actual programs or projects that can be verified. what do you mean my likes?! I've probably spent more time bleary eyed in front of emacs coding pascal, then c++, then NLP rules than you have just sitting in front of a Mac ever!
I said virtually the same thing in less words back in the 'favorite UI poll'. let's see how many people respond to your version of the idea:-) Personally I really like the Mac OS X Server UI. It's the right blend of Mac OS/NeXTStep w/the all that unix goodness underneath. I had to leave Linux for the time being based on my needs and not on my wants so this is potentially a great thing for me because I can access the Mac OS from OS X Server. Freeing up the other computer for Linux tinkering and what not. I had to have a production stable server (ASIP6.1, linux wouldn't cut it), I had to have the Mac OS, so 2 computers. Now I can run 3 OSes on 2 computers w/out rebooting and I'll be happy as can be:-)
Oh, so you're a former Apple developer huh? What did you program? What's the name of the program again? What? You didn't actually produce anything you say?! Well then, SHUT THE FUCK UP! Damn anonymous cowards...
nope, SGI's are are great. Alpha's a great processor. Too bad SGI is going NT. Too bad Alpha's may not be around much longer. I cut my teeth using DEC ALPHA servers at college. I 'hated' UNIX back then but I learned to get the most out of it once I reached a certain point. I'll still use anyhting that suits my needs the best. I've tried 'em all (BeOS, Linux, Amiga, BSD, etc.) and I still keep coming back to the Mac hardware to run Mac OS and occasionally Linux and Windows(under VPC).
good for about a 2 second smile. then you realise they're windoze lusers and you feel stupid for playing into their hands over the Red Hat logo. the only anti-mac site that was ever any good was the exploding mac pagewhere they blew up an old Mac Plus. and done by real linux users at that.
bugger off you cowardly little bastard. not only can I kick your ass but my ancient Mac could kick yours. how do I know, anyone whos posts shit like that anonymously must be afraid of reprisals. bah, you're probably not worth the bother, you've already died a thousand deaths.
..I only have to chose from MkLinux, LinuxxPPC, and YellowDog. Soon Debian and others will also have PPC distros as well for my Mac. WHY?! Either Mac users have a higher percentage of Linux users than PC users do (I wouldn't be suprised) or the Mac market is bigger than people really think. I'm not complaining mind you, it just seems like Apple/Mac users either do something so far advanced it takes years to catch on or they wait for it to become standard on PC's then they overdo it like this USB thing. On a side note, ironic that PC's had USB for years but itlanguished until Apple's iWhack came out:-) I know Win98 w/'newimprovedusbsupport' came out at the same time but all those peripherals are iMac schemed, not Win98 schemed if you catch my drift. Anyways. I can't wait til I've got some more cash so I can replace my aging Tower of Power Macs with a G3 Pro and iWhack dumb terminals so I can run my Mac stuff and access the linux server thru Mac X to compile and shit. whatever, I'm just rambling, must be the flu.
I blame./ If it weren't for/. I wouldn't have heard this. I didn't need to hear this. I've been awful sick for days, drag myself into work so I can get some money, and you give me this news. Like I didn't feel like shit already. I may as well go home and cry. hmm, then I could I could catch up on all that Quake I've been missing lately:-) okay, I feel better now.
Sure, this is supposed to replace Copland which was due out in 1996, BUT, that was the replacement for Pink. Anyone remember that? It was supposed to be the MacOS replacement back in 1992-3! It and Taligent was a IBM/Aple project meant to break the M$ monopoly back then. Short memories!
