I think if you are an actual 3D designer with some real experience ( and no, dabbling on the weekends doesn't count ), it makes quite a bit of sense, as does Truespace.
Much as photoshop might be confusing to a person that normally does spreadsheets and charts/graphs. It would be just as meaningless for him to complain the PS interface is not intuitive. ( to him )
Well, they apparently cant innovate and keep producing products people really dont want ( but settle for, its the advantage of being a monopoly ) , so what other choice do they have?
They can do ANYTHING they want, its up to the supreme court ( or its equivalence in other countries ) to strike it down, after you have been jailed and ruined for life.
Im also not so sure that the US first amendment has an equivalent in canadian law. I know it doesn't have a 2nd amendment equivalent.

No, but i assume it could be. Forth is a real language and OS. Well documented and mature.
Donno about the resources it has access to on the Mac hardware however.
That is about as bad as when Microsoft claimed the win 95 user numbers as so many PC's came preloaded as a requirement.
It doesn't mean they kept it on there. I personally know of *several* thousand that were reformatted and 3.11 was put on.
And a Mac to go along with it as remember you cant run OSX on non Apple hardware,legally.
That generations of oppression, fear and propaganda really is pretty effective in brainwashing your people.

Copy others, for one.
Following suit is not innovation. MIght be incremental improvements which is nice, but not innovation which we sorely need in the IT field..

I don't think shouting fire in a crowded theater is 'speech'. Thats just words and not necessarily protected.
If you yell 'the MPAA is unreasonable and i feel we should burn this theater down', then you have speech. And it should be protected.
If you order someone to burn it down, again you have simple words and not "speech" as it was intended and it may or may not be protected.
Speech is all about expression of concepts, thoughts, opinions. That some just happen to disapprove of.
Don't let them get involved, it will only serve to spell the eventual death sentence for one of OSS's star children.
Microsoft ( understandably ) can only have nefarious intent here.
No, that GM tried to suck EDS dry instead.
And that Ross got forced out due to political reasons, not a nice simple 'buy out' business decision as was being implied.
Some of us who where there felt it was the other way around.
Wouldn't that mean they were murdered? That is if you accept the religious side of the house...
The short answer, is yes they can.

Its not about saving money, its 'for the children'.
Not stealing macbooks? How else can we afford them :)
Its filled with hate against others.
If you steal a computer, unless you are after its data, REFORMAT it first.
even if it doesn't have some sort of tracing, it might have a virus.
But its still his right.
In a way we do jail people for their thoughts now, its called 'conspiracy to commit'.
or increased sentencing, 'it was a hate crime'
Then they came to restrict your speech, and there was no one left to speak out in your favor.
Its being done by the government
Once you ban one type of speech, none is free.
I clearly see the censorship tag on the story. You know, the guy with a black line across his mouth.
So no, i'm not the one doing that.
Yes, they can. But you can also choose to move to another service.
No, but the slashdot tag icons did.
When its a private company ...
Oh but we have to sound sensational to get attention, don't we?
