yeah like we're going to see gamers and home users switching to Solaris. Linux will peak but it will never scratch the surface of PC users who don't want to deal with/usr/bin/etc nonsense
instead linux has redhat, caldera, debian, suse, turbolinux, linuxppc, mandrake, slackware, stampede... Then you have not one GUI with the intention of bringing a consistent look and feel to linux but 2 or 3...with the intention of bringing a consistent look and feel to linux
it's not like anyone is going to find ET anyway (unless you think that there's some serious reason for thinking the x-files is real). I mean...Star Wars and Star Trek are lots of fun but let's get back to the real world and find some intelligence on _this_ planet? Thank you
I tried the mersenne client for a while but I wasn't happy with it. My cpu was only at around 30-50% usage compared to 100% on rc5. That's too bad because I liked the idea ($50,000 helps too:)
enough with this "correct distinction" nonsense. One article isn't going to make a difference. Hacker is always going to be a bad word after that movie where that kid almost sets off WW3

try doing alt left arrow to go back in opera like I do in Netscape. I mean who cares? Besides, in Opera there's alot of clutter on the button bar until you find the back button.
re: last paragraph. In Netscape there's close and exit. close closes that one window while exit closes all open windows. IE doesn't do this -it should be a windows standard but there's very little consistency in Windows
if it really was a quality browser I'd pay for it. But it's not-the UI is terrible. On the other hand, doczilla looks interesting. It can do everything mozilla does plus SGML and Hytime. There will be support for many image formats including CGM
my website lists some of the interesting ones: http://members.xoom.com/mozilla5/beos/ (oh and check out http://members.xoom.com/mozilla5/ while you're at it)
it's something you either love or you really hate. I hate Opera because it uses MDI. I hate Netscape Messenger and all those email clients because they _don't_ use MDI (I use pegasus). I think someone will work on an MDI version of mozilla
personally I feel that there should only be one or 2 (pref 2) distros of linux instead of all these tiny distros with some interesting ideas but these distros just don't have the focus and support that's needed to position linux as a good OS for others to consider. I wouldn't mind just seeing redhat and debian and everyone else would focus on working on either the "free" linux debian or the "corporate" linux redhat. Otherwise MS will easily take advantage of this lack of a unified linux voice (the mindcraft study and aftermath comes to mind)
and that's good. Some may feel the v3 is better (it's faster for 16 bit games) or that 3dfx was first to support linux before linux was cool or whatever. All I know is that companies can't take the community for granted but they won't have to worry about MS playing around with the API's that they need

shouldn't be too hard to add those buttons

that's ridiculous: either free or expensive commercial apps? There's a role for shareware too
you don't need to spend $1900 to develop shareware on BeOS...
replace one clunky UI for another? I don't see the point. Use an OS specifically designed for a PDA-not a PC or server
wince's clunky UI just won't fit on the screen of the raspberry. There's no room for a "start menu"

what about news about open source apps for BeOS? We have news for closed sourced apps for linux...

they already have most of the foundation so they can hire their own programmers

it means that linuxers better not knock off Novell because linux needs their NDS
and that's good. Some may feel the v3 is better (it's faster for 16 bit games) or that 3dfx was first to support linux before linux was cool or whatever. All I know is that companies can't take the community for granted but they won't have to worry about MS playing around with the API's that they need
it's still 16 bit
I wouldn't mind seeing Age of Empires on linux
even bigger problem is that it's hard to set the cache to what I want. I don't want 1% of my 14 gig hd for cache-that's alot of megs
well it is a total rewrite so you have to expect the bugs
