It would be nice if the dynamic ajax comment update marked new comments as being new (If you're familiar with kuro5hin/scoop, new comments are marked as "[new]" (in red). It would make catching new comments easier (and should be trivial to implement).
SCO owns the rights to the original (AT&T) Unix code. (Maybe. Novell claims they still own the rights and the SCO was just their license collector). All *real* unixes (including AIX and Solaris) pay/paid SCO a Unix licensing fee.
eMusic is a subscription service: pay a set monthly fee and download a set number of songs each month. The new service will keep that model, but the prices are going up. Way up. The new deal will cost $7.49
The memory/drive/screen size may be too limiting for windows.
But I've never had a driver problem installing windows. The last time I did a windows install was w2k, but I had no problems installing it on my custom built computer or a compaq. The same computer, with the same hardware, Red Hat 4 wouldn't install, and after installing red hat 5, I had to recompile with mouse support. Metro X had some display problems and I needed to get an updated driver for xfree86 to support my card (Matrox Millenium II). BeOS didn't need any extra drivers (I intentionally purchased equipment they supported).
Apple has released some of Core Foundation as open source (APSL probably).
Cocoa is written in Objective C (and the libraries are well documented). The C-based CoreFoundation is a rewrite of some of the stuff in C. Some of the data structures can be used in a cocoa app as a native Objective C object, but most cocoa apps don't depend on CF.
POSIX specifies what #include files are available and what macros they #define. (For example, limit.h).
Most operating systems tend to include other nonstandard stuff as well.
Anyhow, header files are inherently open source -- you can read them, you can edit/modify them (assuming you have write permission or can copy them to a local include directory). And more importantly, my understanding is that they're not copyrightable.
There is no manual page. That is because the one they gave out at
UNIFORUM was slightly different from the current System V Release 2
manual page. The difference apparently involved a note about the
famous rules 5 and 6, recommending using white space between an option
and its first argument, and not grouping options that have arguments.
Getopt itself is currently lenient about both of these things White
space is allowed, but not mandatory, and the last option in a group can
have an argument. That particular version of the man page evidently
has no official existence, and my source at AT&T did not send a copy.
The current SVR2 man page reflects the actual behavor of this getopt.
However, I am not about to post a copy of anything licensed by AT&T.
I will submit this source to Berkeley as a bug fix.
I, personally, make no claims or guarantees of any kind about the
following source. I did compile it to get some confidence that
it arrived whole, but beyond that you're on your own.
gperf is concerned with string hashing. c switch statements use integers. All modern c compilers (even gcc) look at the case density and build an indirection table or set of if/else/else branches. (Or sometimes both).
not "we" as in linux or open source, "we" as in internet users. Looks like China will soon be the largest economy and the largest source of zombie spam pcs.
Maybe they've improved, but I've seen Maxtors shit out too many times. (Only once for me; I learned my lesson. But I've seen plenty of other people get fucked over by them too). The last time slashdot did a "which drive manufacturer is the best?" story, a large number of people seemed to agree that Maxtor should be avoided like a 3rd bush presidential term.
As a consumer, I'd rather get rid of the legacy shit (ATA, ps2 keyboards, bios, DOS/Windows:-). But for hardware hacking/os writing, a USB stack, firewire stack, etc are more work (and don't provide the immediate feedback like 100 lines of assembly to read the raw keystrokes).
You an still have fun with an ARM breadboard kit, though:-)
Firefox wasn't netscape/mozilla's idea, it was blake ross's idea. Netscape/Mozilla believed you really wanted a heavyweight browser/email client/irc client/calendar/html editor. They get credit for *finally* realizing that's a losing proposition.
I don't know about you, but my computer is a virtual jungle of cables. Recharging does not mean connecting it to my computer. And that's especially the case for people who use their ipod/dap with speakers (bose ipod sound dock, etc).

an iPhone user can buy songs on iTMS for less.

Find the correct drivers = insert the windows CD.

The GNUStep libraries are LGPL. Anything can link to them. the LGPL is not supposed to be viral. Let's keep it that way.
Also, Sun's X supports display postscript. I use solaris (plus the gnu toolset) just for that. Display Ghostscript isn't good enough.

big deal. I once found an ATM that dispensed cans of soda.
Here's something you've all been waiting for: the AT&T public domain source for getopt(3). It is the code which was given out at the 1985 UNIFORUM conference in Dallas. I obtained it by electronic mail directly from AT&T. The people there assure me that it is indeed in the public domain.

Look at the front page much?
CFS = completely fair scheduler
SD = staircase deadline.
That probably didn't clarify anything :/
It's not closed source. It's available as part of OpenSolaris (CDDL). FreeBSD didn't have a problem integrating it.
Connection: Keep-Alive mitigates that somewhat.
or /dev/goatse -- full of shit.
I never think of linksys when I'm drinking bum wine.
if by "tumbles" you mean "hit an all time high" then yeah. I'm crying all the way to the bank. cha-ching!!!!
