There are two parts to WINE. One part is running Windows binaries in Linux. The other part is compiling code written for the win32 api as a native linux application.
The Pre uses webkit for HTML. A few months back, webkit added css animation (sort of like CoreAnimation). If the pre supports it, that would help with the games and other little animations.
Google has paid. They paid for WINE development. Most of their "Linux" ports are Win32 apps recompiled with WINE. With android, they ditched X/GTK/QT and did their own thing.
Qt also uses WebKit (they're on of the major contributors). Chrome uses their own fork, of course. Chrome is mostly open source, and the linux port is failry recent, so the license doesn't seem like the issue.
When NeXT went from NextStep to OpenStep, they had versions which ran on other OSes -- including Solaris (you can still dig up a (sparc only) beta package from Sun), HPUX, and... Windows NT. OS X (as of 10.5) still includes image resources for Windows and NextStep.
See here for more information.
Seconded. Earlier this year, I set up a NFS raid box for storing videos, music, and other large files, so I went with XFS. Within 10 minutes (only copying 4-5 videos over), XFS had corrupted itself to the point it couldn't be recovered. EXT3 may be a tad slower, but it can manage to read and write files.
This patent was first filed in 1994. Initial talks on standardizing ODF began in 2002. I don't know when StarOffice started using XML, but it was DOS only until 1996. The patent (bullshit or not) predates ODF.
1) the iTunes store is not big money. Napster, Wal*Mart, Microsoft, Real, Sony, etc. are all struggling or gave up. The RIAA/labels take 70%. iTMS eeks out a small profit, but it wouldn't exist if not for iPods.
2) Palm isn't syncing with iTunes because they can't write their own sync software (on second thought, their syncing software does suck). They're syncing with iTunes because most people who might buy a pre already own an ipod or three. The extra market share from palm pre owners is probably on par with the extra market share from a linux client.
The exclusive power, or privilege of selling a commodity;
the exclusive power, right, or privilege of dealing in
some article, or of trading in some market; sole command
of the traffic in anything, however obtained; as, the
proprietor of a patented article is given a monopoly of
its sale for a limited time; chartered trading companies
have sometimes had a monopoly of trade with remote
regions; a combination of traders may get a monopoly of a
particular product.
There are other online music stores selling the same exact music.
Someone used to have a sig (I haven't seen it lately), paraphrasing "Having a lameness filter on slashdot is like having a shit filter on your ass." If you browse at -1, there are still trolls and goatse links, but a lot of the creativity and humor is gone. Now we have some copy pasta and a lot of group think (some things never change). Slashdot isn't better for it.
At work, I browse (and troll) slashdot via links. At home, I browse (and troll) slashdot via Safari (and occasionally firefox to check if it handled their latest fuck up more gracefully). The sad truth is, slashdot often works better in links than in Safari or Firefox. Only once have they fucked up links (a few weeks ago when the front page was turned into an rss feed and anyone who mentioned it was modded down), oh make that twice -- currently, reading the full story (with the/seo-happy-urls) doesn't work.
yes, that's because of limits on social security (which some people pretend isn't a tax but a forced retirement program) and lower tax rates on capital gains and dividends. Oh, and maybe better accountants and deductions for charitable donations, etc.
They're also big enough that they can build their data center in any other state.
Last year, Maryland raised marginal tax rate on millionaires. This year, the number of millionaires in Maryland dropped by 30% and total tax revenue collected from them dropped as well.
You can complain all you want, but if you look at the numbers you'll find the top 1% of earners pay 40% (or more) of income taxes.
you can also pay your college tuition by pimping your ass out to barney frank. He likes young boys (under 20) with tight assholes. If you don't mind a 70+ year old man giving you a rimjob and sucking you off, give barney a call.

Linux's chroot is actually BSD's chroot. Bill Joy invented it.
I don't feel weird clicking it's results.

Well, it certainly worked for BeOS. And NextStep. And Apple, last time they tried it. And linux. Any day now it should be the year of the penguin.
If he's looping directly over the array in C but using std::vector::at and std::iterator to access it in c++, then c++ would be significantly slower.

What about the middle finder in the cock?
Hardware manufacturers can write a driver so their junk interface with iTunes. Nomads and RIOs work with iTunes.
Palm Pre syncs with iTunes? Big deal. The real story (or "fuck you") is that they're using webkit.
Hehe, I remember back when I started reading slashdot in ... 97? 98? ... I thought Anonymous Coward was just another user. An exceptionally stupid user.

I was going to recommend the efika, but it looks the PPC version was discontinued, replaced by ARM.
