I am not aware of any changes to Motif that wasn't released in OpenMotif. CDE is a different story and it's highly unlikely the Open Group got any vendor specific changes back.

I'm the submitter and documentation lead for the CDE project and I'll answer any questions you might have.
1. CDE wasn't open sourced years ago because The Open Group had a steady income stream from it. Losing that income stream would have meant people losing their jobs.
2. This The Open Group's CDE, without any code from Sun/HP/IBM.
3. Motif will be open sourced soon. We couldn't get contributor agreements from everyone so that's still to do. CDE builds with OpenMotif just fine.
My proposed definition: A binary system comprises two objects whose common center of gravity is above the surface of either object and the components of the system are similar in size and/or mass. This would Pluto-Charon a binary system and the Sun-Jupiter not a binary system.
The fonts used in KDE hurt my eyes. I have tried everything I can think of to try to get them non painful but to no avail. Too bad. I actually like KDE and would use it if I could.
He should have vetoed it. He didn't because right wing heads would explode and it would be on 24/7 how he is "weak on terrorism". It's a shame, really. Of course he also could have chosen not to defend it in court, like he did DOMA.
I am believe God created the Universe. I believe a wave of His unseen hand set off the Big Bang. Seven days? Whose days we talking about? Our day? Pluto's? Planet X'iroir? Us humans think so small sometimes. Evolution and fossils were all part of His plan or they wouldn't have happened. "Faith is believing God created the Universe. Science is figuring out out how He did it".
If you read the TFA you would have seen it will be around 300 pounds. Probably something like the LimePC which is a PowerPC laptop. You can't run the AmigaOS on x86.
Because it's not really GNU/Linux. It uses the Linux kernel and that's about it. Most the user land stuff is BSD or Apache stuff and non-free. Not to say Android is bad, if you are looking for a GNU/Linux phone, look elsewhere.
Ya! Just like MS! Apple it's Java implementation had Mac OS X specific extensions...umm...they integrated Safari into the OS and claimed it could be removed...ummm...Apple crushed compteting OS makers with illegal antitrust actions...ummm....no. Nice try though.
The source of the problem is Wales himself. He lets this go on. He bends and ignores rules because he can get away with it. He white washes history to make it seem like he is the sole founder of Wikipedia. The arrogance flows from him. Get rid of Wales and the rest will follow suit.
The frogpad was not a failure. I work for a not for profit serving the disabled and we used FrogPads all the time. It was insanely useful for those with limited hand movement. It sucked when they stopped making them.

Patches encouraged! Join us on #cde on Freenode. FreeBSD is our biggest request and the one we have fewest developers for (exactly one at the moment).
There is experimental support for more modern font rendering here: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/FontsWithXFT/

It won't slow "cord cutting" to make cable subscriptions more attractive, it'll just lead to people not using Hulu,
FYI, to get that price you have to buy a hundred of them.
Show me an emacs word processing mode and I'm sold. (No really I wanted one for years).
You must be new here. Real woman's breasts. That's funny.
You wouldn't be reading this.
I think OpenBSD has better documentation, but it's small degrees better. The FreeBSD docs do a very good job.

Did anyone else read "Fraudster" and thought it was a new social network?
Thanks for everything you did. I could write a long post about my experiences here but I'll leave it at: Goodbye, farewell and amen!
Add Sean Bonner. He's worth the price of admission alone.

End Of Life after THREE FUCKING MONTHS?? Who the fuck thought this was a good decision?
There was a time when ViewSonic made great stuff. I had a ViewSonic monitor that lasted for ages. What a shame.
