Hmm, how many versions of Mac OS have been released? Oh yes, and how many of them are 90% or more compatible? And this is what? Something that MS does? hmm... interesting. What? You couldn't add or remove features from the old Mac OS'es at will? That's horrible! This is all Microsoft's fault... wait, MacOS came out BEFORE Windows! Who started this trend, again?
This guy has a very valid point. If we split Windows into multiple versions, it'll only make things harder for developers - and as a Windows developer, I can say things are hard enough already;)
Java is an excellent language... when it was first announced, and started becoming popular, I went out and bought a set of 5 official Sun books on java.
After getting them home and messing with them, I was sorely dissapointed.
Java was a GREAT language. But Sun's JDK, and JRE, and everything, sucked horribly. They were slow, inflexible, buggy, and hard to work with. So I kept using C++ and VB. And now Sun has finally started to get their act together, with lots of fixes to the JDK and JRE, and with technologies like Java3D - but SWING is still horribly slow, and Java is still at a large disadvantage when compared to C#.
Microsoft has the money, the support, and the staff to pull off the.NET thing, and C# is an excellent language - I personally consider it better than Java, in design. Unless Sun pulls some major overtime, they're going to lose to MS.
There's nothing scarier than seeing that cow and that truck driver singing that song. I nearly shitted in my pants. Thanks a lot, Gateway! At least the RIAA is out there to protect us.
Maybe she's just mad because they found her stash of lesbian hentai.;)
This case seems pretty cut-and-dry to me - the University decided they wanted their computer back, so they took it. It is a bit rude that they didn't give her a chance to back it up though - and the fact that they treated a Professor this way shows how bad the relationship between the teachers and administration at schools can be sometimes.
Is it just me or isn't Yahoo trying to make up for their lack of usage as late, by pounding their users with more ads? People have quit using Yahoo for searching and as a portal, and are using better sites like Google to do all their searching, and sites like MSN, etc for their portal.
Makes plenty of sense that Yahoo would try and make some money off the users they still have.
Linux: Mono. Windows (except 95):.NET Framework. Mac: Probably as soon as the next Office:Mac/IE:Mac revision comes out. Solaris: Who really cares, last I heard solaris wasn't a desktop OS. And once the big server versions of.NET come out, I'm sure Solaris will be supported by someone if there is a demand. (After all, Mono is being made because of the demand for.NET and related technologies to work on *nix.)
It runs on all windows platforms except Win95 (which sucks ass anyway), and once Mono is done it'll run on Linux. It'll probably be ported to Mac pretty soon, considering the big business MS gets out of IE:Mac and Office:Mac.
And..... and what? The universe explodes? Time starts moving backwards? Giant marshmallow-men roam the streets? Somewhere, a musican you don't know dies?
Whoa, I can kill musicians by pirating their music? Time to go buy some Britney Spears CD's!:)
You're just mad because you downloaded my file "Britney Spears giving blowjob.mpeg" which was actually a renamed copy of the entire Windows XP Professional ISO.
Funny, but C# is an open standard and there are many non-MS C# compilers. It's also interesting how microsoft DOESN'T MAKE ANY INSTALLER TOOLS, and instead has a free setup package that is designed to interoperate with InstallShield and Wise.

So you'd prefer to have RealNetworks monopolize it with THEIR piece of shit media formats? Or how about apple, they could monopolize the media market. In fact, Quicktime and Apple already pretty much monopolize the digital media production market.

Thank God, finally someone with a brain. :)
Funny, all the 9x versions are compatible with each other, and all the NT versions are compatible with each other. And, most of those are updates.
95 -> 98 -> 98SE -> ME
NT4 -> 2000 -> XP
Apple did this with MacOS, they released what, like 10 consecutive versions?

At CalTrans we always have a problem with Notes' Debugger, 'QNC'. The piece of shit makes things crash all over.
First, start by getting a real computer. :)
Then, install RtCW, play it, and forget entirely about porting to your amiga.

They aren't. Read up before posting :P
Sheesh...

Your post puts a new meaning to the phrase "Disgusting, retarded troll posts." Mod this WAY down.

It's FreeBSD, you can see that if you hex-edit LS. :)
:P
Maybe this is an attempt by them to prove the 'inferiority' of *nix systems?
I give a shit because I read /. for news and intelligent comments. I don't read /. to see retards screaming "FIRST POST MOTHERFUCKERS!".
Uh, and your point is?
/., it has retarded trolls like you filling it with garbage.
... you are a retard, sir.
No wonder so many people hate
And there was much trolling, and it was lame.
And the moderators did moderate, and they did moderate well.
And the peasants rejoiced.
Huzzah!
Sheesh. You're acting like Bill Gates is Adolf Hitler and Microsoft is the beginning of a new world order.
Microsoft isn't the only company that does fucked-up things. Human nature is to fuck up and be mean to your fellow human.
So THAT's where my code went!
:P)
(Hi Ben
Oh man, that is hilarious :)
Is that from a movie or something?
