Eh, Helix GNOME is way better then KDE, IMO. Besides which, KDE is not distributable purely based on their license, which makes it a violation to distribute it linked with QT.
So when someone attempts to create a free, secure product that would be used by many many people, they have to give up the whole point of their project by releasing the source? Shame on John. He created Quake a long time ago and it is less his now and more property of the people who work with it and play in it day after day.
Wrong.
Mr. Carmack should try to file the source under a better agreement that would allow Slade to release a secure version of his interpretation of the quake source.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. John Carmack and iD games were in no way obligated to release the source to Quake to anyone, at all. If Slade, or you, or anyone else doesn't like the restrictions placed on it, tough. Write your own and put it under whatever license you like. Carmack can do whatever he damn well pleases, and put whatever licenses he wants on it. It's his. He created it.
RH pays most of the principal kernel developers, and invested a lot of money in GNOME development, and there's no RH logo stamped on those. I think we're pretty safe:)
The design of the NT system is based on VMS, but the origonal NT system was a port of OS/2 meant to run on the N10 processor, or somesuch that never showed up.
That's actually one of the goals with KDE2.0 from what I read. Apparently the KDE folks are working on making it easier for KDE to integrate GNOME applications
Origonal SunOS was BSD based, but to the best of my knowledge, they either redid most of it based on a System V source, or they redid a bunch of stuff to make it more System V-like.
I think the idea is that you can distribute the program/source with your modifications already patched in, OR you can distribute your modifications seperately. Both terms are valid.
They aren't selling 'Official RedHat Linux' or even really 'RedHat Linux'. They are selling 'RedHat'. All of their branding is based on that name. Not that name with some special attached qualifiers to show that it comes from them. They spent their money building their brand, and as a result, they can do whatever they want with it. Instead of forcing RedHat to sell 'Official RedHat Linux', we should instead be forcing the people selling copies to sell 'CD With Copy of RedHat Distribution', or something like that.

Potato works great. I use my computer to get work done all the time. Stuff breaks every once in a while, but not that often. I've been using it for about 8 months, and the only times I had trouble were when the JDK was compiled against the wrong version of GLIBC, and when I upgraded something that broke StarOffice for about 2 weeks. Other then that, it's been great, and is a wonder to use:)
Right. And what precisely do you do with those people who just *Can*'t get a job, and do try? Wouldn't you like it if you had some hard times, and the government was there to pick up some of the slack for you?
Maybe, maybe not. VIA paid less then 1/3 the price NatSemi paid for Cyrix. That certainly makes things a lot better for them, but really, VIA can cut a deal with any Intel licensed Fab to get the work done.....
Plus, they got access to a whole lot of Intel patents through NatSemi. Things like a cross-license that will allow them to use Intel's GTL+ bus, even though Intel recently canceled their license and sued them.
Think about it for a minute..... Right now, Intel does *not* have a current generation chipset product in the market (810 and 820 are being 'reengineered' to support SDRAM instead of RDRAM) Plus, they're behind with Coppermine.
AMD is losing money like crazy, and everyone seems to think they aren't going to be able to meet market demand.
Now, in comes VIA. They buy Cyrix and IDT. Cyrix produces Super7/Socket7 CPU's, and so does IDT. Cyrix was also planning on (and NatSemi had the licenses, which VIA got through them) to produce Slot 1 and Socket370 chips. VIA has the chipset products for Socket/Super7, Slot1, and Socket370. Current generation chipsets (133 mhz FSB). So, VIA has the product lineup that no one else has, plus they can contract out their manufacturing.
Right...... But if you really look at it, then what you're saying is that we shouldn't be allowed to use open-source/linux/whatever clients with AIM or ICQ as well. Granted, it is AOL's right to decide who can use their stuff, but they should at least be consistant about it.
The 487SX was actually a full scale version of the 486(ala 486DX) that fit in a different socket. When you installed it, it just disabled the 486SX cpu already in your system and replaced it with itself.
I think the same was the case with the older SX processors, but I can't say for sure:)

Last I checked, the internal harddrive's on all Mac's are IDE as a standard.

No, they smoked more drugs which changed their creativity to something else :)

Anybody see a winning combination maybe?
the Power line of chips is IBM version of the PowerPC chip that they collaborated with motorola on. Motorola is the company that calls em PowerPC's.
Right......

And people will find a way to prevent this all, and in the end, not only will we have a better product, but it will be open source :)
