  15. Re:What I want... on Resources for Rolling Your Own Windowing System? · · Score: 2

    I would like to have an OS (kernel, apps and everything in between) written in one language and having a consistent and unified design. The language should preferably be some sort of Lisp. I want one language that can serve every purpose, and Lisp is the only language that I know of that is capable of that. Unix systems have all sorts of languages with very different syntaxes used for different purposes. It takes a lot of time to learn everything. Using a higher level language like Lisp would also make the system more secure by preventing buffer overflows and such.

    This is what Emacs will become in a couple of versions.

  19. Mac OS X and metadata on Follow-up To Critique of BeOS & Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wonder if apple is planning on making the default file system in Mac OS X to be UFS. This could help reduce costs on FS development. This does not mean the death of metadata. TrustedBSD is working on giving UFS extended attributes and ACLs. So maybe Apple could use those for metadata

  20. Re:Blah blah blah on Follow-up To Critique of BeOS & Mac OS X · · Score: 2

    Nice little speech too bad the article proves you wrong.

    In the article he say he tried using Linux on the Desktop for four months before trying Mac OS X.

    So he was alot more familiar with Linux then with Mac OS X. But still considers Mac OS X a better desktop.

  21. Re:It's the apps! on Gnumeric 1.0 Has Arrived · · Score: 2

    Also it makes it easier to exchange files between Windows and Linux. Instead of worrying about working with excel you can ask your windows friends to download Gnumeric for windows to see your files.

    My 60 year old dad uses linux. He doesn't know the difference between it and windows, and he doesn't have to care. It just works for him.

    Let me guess you set it up and maintain it and he has no idea what "root" is.

    The problem is most people don't have a linux geek hanging around to do that
