I have a lot of history with Slirp. I remember just having a lowly Unix account at the local university, and building Slirp so I could finally use that Netscape thingy. It was the first program I ever compiled.
According to the article, the only aspects that will (well, have been planned *so* far) to not be OS are installation procedures. I find it hard to believe because of my utter cynicism towards MS, though. We'll see.
The only reason the installer isn't open sourced is probably because it's Install Shield, or some other commercial Windoze installer. Not a big loss IMO. Give me rpm or a debian package anyday.
I tend to agree with you on everything except point 3. It's not that I'm against the death penalty, but when you bring up 'genetic inferiority' I become a bit angry.
We should punish people for doing wrong, but we shouldn't just kill them on a basis that they may not be as 'pure bred' as a normal person. ---------------
The problem is this person didn't offer *any* constructive criticism. He just offered his opinion, and some uniformed "facts".
Constructive criticism would be: "Linux has great potential but is missing a user friendly user interface."
All this guy had to offer was "Their logo sucks." and "I think all the other Linux developers are out there to make ME(Linus) look good." (Taken from the out of context "I don't care about you people" quote)
All I saw in this article was potential FUD for more IT managers to use against Linux.
This just goes to show that there are still stupid people out there. CDDB was great because it was free and open. I guess now someone will have to create a new CD database.
It's funny to see how this just goes to demonstrate anything humankind has mentally conceived can be reproduced in 1's and 0's then replicated infinately.
And with the Internet it gets sent around from person to person, like an information virus.

This is quite helpful in reverse engineering networking stuff, and other fun stuff.

Yeah those were the days.

"Look we don't want to destroy Open Source. We're helping out with a prominent Open Source project!"
It's all about M$ getting their name in the papers with this positive Open Source spin.

"Standard" Perl? I thought it was whatever Larry thinks is cool.

I, personally, don't see why anyone at the school would need a gun to take on the shooters.
Just about any item in the world can be turned into a weapon. The only real problem is being afraid to die.

Oh you are one of those quitters, eh?

Mmmmm. MP3s on CD.

Bah...
I used to remember when Visual Basic had a lot of promise, then the drugs began wearing off and I remembered it was owned by MicroSloth.
But VB is still an OK enviroment, if you have to use Windows.
Visual C++, and FWIW MFC, are huge and ugly to write even a simple program in. I'll take GTK any day over MFC.
If you have real motivation, you can sit down and just do it yourself.
Go and read Knuth's Art of Computer Programming. If you feel you're not getting "well rounded" go and read Steinbeck, and listen to Dvorak.
College and "formal education" are no substitute for being alive, and discovering the world around you firsthand.
Maybe Lucas will create a epilogue that takes place long after the original three movies.[
That would be far more interesting IMO.
