It's 2002 and they've chosen win98 for their new model.
Linux's usability in 98 doesn't matter. It's more than capable of running a car today...
ITS A FUCKING PROTOTYPE. In prototypes, they'll constantly be changing the software, in the real thing they'll probably have a custom made chip with the software burnt on.
FOR FUCKS SAKE, does everything need to be explained to you people?
Sorry for the contrary opinion. If you disagree, tell me why.
I don't disagree, but I don't see the point of you posting this opinion. Someone posts this on every mobile phone story there is. If you don't WANT this, don't BUY it - easy huh?
OpenGL is available on all other major computer platforms, including IRIX®, SolarisTM , HP-UX, Compaq® Tru64® UNIX®, AIX®, BeOS, Windows NT®, Windows® 98 and Mac® OS.
Imagine how great it would be to have a FPS type of map of where you were? All you have to do is look down into your PDA and move arround the map to find out where you want to go.
I actually think a top-down map is much better, so you can see some distance around you - you kinda already have the first-person view covered. But, horses for courses, if that's what you want....
just imagine when (not if) microsoft figures this out and all those poor bastards using Windows QX 2003 Amateur have to put up with ads for mouse pointers.
Yeah, but hey, MS don't need to do this, as they have a business model that works, as in they sell their OS.
I'm prepared to accept that the author of this article may not have English as her or his first language, but this sentence seems to display a lack discontinuity of thought that's not confidence-inspiring for the rest of the 'review' (or opinion piece as it seems to really be)...
We have filmed you stealing groceries for the last month. You have 3 days to stop this behaviour, or you will be banned from the store and charged for the stuff you have stolen. Otherwise we will do f-all - hope you enjoyed the free stuff.
Flying black and white, shurely? Color, nor 'flying' existed in the 1800s.

They have to resort to flying planes into buildings as weapons, and you expect them to be able to what? Use a computer?
You what? Is hijacking a plane easy then? Ooohh, those thicky thicky foreigners can't do anything against the great intelligent people of the US - I think this is the attitude that led to the problems in the first place...
P.S.-->Chiefly British variant of 'furor'. 'variant' implying that furore is a minority subset, and that furor is more widely used.
I'll stop now so we can both get back to work;-), but I have to say it's a bit rich mocking my use of the spelling 'furore' for being a British variant when
a) It's a work taken from Italian and b) that's the original spelling.
Still, I guess that it IS more widely used in the great US of A, and the majority can never be wrong - after all, look at how many people love to watch Jerry Springer.
If you have some magicly fast method of networking for these new devices (like, maybe we should like them together with co-ax), then I'm sure there's a few companies would like to hear about it.
Java, on anything other than sparc hardware, is utterly slow and bulky. Wireless (depending on what kind of wireless bluetooth, 802.11b, etc...) can be really quite slow.
Er, are you sure? If the network communication was fast, then the language would need to be fast, but if it's slow (as you say, but I disagree, BT is anything but slow) you would hve plenty of time to do your calculation before you had to do more network activity.
The whole point of running java is so apps can work on the multitude of new devices coming out.
Do they give you comp time over at Microsoft for trolling Slashdot? I'm just curious.
I know this is really difficult for you guys to grasp, so read this s l o w l y. Slashdot is a discussion site. Opinions you disagree with are not necessarily 'trolls'. A 'troll' is a post designed to wind up other people and attract many replies for the sake of attracting many replies.
Also, when I post a pro-Microsoft opinion, I am 'trolling' - when you post your anti-Microsoft reply - you mock me for it. Does you company pay you to put down Microsoft?
The difference is, we're the community (users, developers, administrators) and M$ is the source.
Would the response (sorry, furore) have been any different if this had been the opinion of a group of Windows admin / developers / users? I think not.
I think the general ridiculous over-reaction to the story belies Linux users fears - what would the reaction be if a 'Windows is dead' was posted on Linux.com - general tittering and laughter I guess. But the opposite happens and I bet this is the most replied to story of the day.

Yes. I trust much more the unbiased opinions of the slashdot crowd.

Snipped rant saying everything should be allowed apart from this one thing you find offensive

Have you thought that maybe the Vatican finds these sites as offensive as you find those with child porn?
On the other hand, they might want to keep quiet about paedophilia
This must be a new meaning of famous I've never come across before. Come on /., sort it out.

Did you actually kill the systray app or just shut the desktop program? It stays open in the systray even when the desktop is closed.
