it's unfortunate that valid criticism gets censored. Pretending gcc shits diamonds won't make it so.
Fact is, gcc uses more memory -- a LOT more memory -- than most other compilers, especially when optimizing. That makes it much more likely that you'll have to hit the swap file, which of course, kills your speed.
Another problem is GNU make, while more flexible and powerful than the make systems for borland, msvc, etc, is also much slower. If you use something like jam instead, you'll see build times drop significantly.
I've not used cygwin, but I have used the SFU demo.
They include gcc, but most of the other utilities are from OpenBSD or other non-GPL sources (there are about 40 different licenses included). ActiveState perl is also included, though you can get that free anyhow.
words containing n@sty symbols? Yeah, I bet deleting every message with a '@' in it would cut back on your spam. Right, sketerpot@nOSPaM.chase3000.com?
if that's the case, why isn't this internet thing popular yet?

No... Look back to the time of robber barons... Vanderbuilt had a monoply on railroads. Carnegy had a monopoly on steel. What do you think happened when Carnegy tried shipping his steel out on old Mr Vanderbuilt's railroad?
Great. Too bad php5 isn't final yet. And don't forget about the new functions, extra function parameters and deprecated functions with every point release.
Apples/oranges. gnome/kde are dektop environments - a window manager + libraries for drawing widgets and ipc + control panels + icon bars + file browsers + word processors + games, etc. etc.
A window manager draws a frame and title bar around your window and maybe adds a couple extras like menus for launching apps. That's it. They're entirely different altogether.
If you want, you could use the gnome wm (sawfish or sawmill, or whatever it's called this week) or the kwm without the bloat of gnome/kde, or you could use gnome/kde with xfce, icewm, windowmaker, etc.
mp3 was designed for speech compression. ogg vorbis, WMA, and AAC are second-generation, designed for music, and have better compression with less noticable loss as compared to mp3.
Operating systems are also very well understood. Every CS undergraduate takes a course or 2 on operating system design and there are dozens to hundreds of books on unix/OS design and internals.
Read OSNews of KernelTrap sometime. There are also dozens of small OSes written by individuals in their spare time.
How many books on writing programs to deal with symbolic math have you read lately?
how about whereismygnome? I'm not sure what the deal with it is, but they've run banner ads at yahoo and other places. If you saw the movie "Amelie", the girl (Amelie) stole her father's gnome and had friends take pictures of it all over the world. That's what it reminded me of, at least.
When the only option for online buying is DRM, it only encourages piracy because regardless of whether you're prepared to pay for the content, it's the only way to get the music without funny restriction.
Apple has sold 30 million songs on iTMS and has a target of 100 million for next year (not counting the pepsi give away). The only restriction is that they can only be played on 3 [mac/windows] computers. Are you saying there are people that would buy music online, but use kazaa because they need to play it on 4 computers?
Shareholder derivative suits (class action suits by stock holders) are very hard to win. Look at all the fraud that went down at MCI/Worldcom, Enron, Adelphia, Tyco, Global Crossing, etc. Yet no class action suits that are going anywhere.
Not to mention that you'll end up with jack shit (except for the lawyers). There's a nuisance value to it, but by the time a lawsuit went to trial, SCO will either be bankrupt or raking in the money from linux licenses.
Macintosh is very popular in Japan. Probably because they supported Kanji back in the 1980s, but also their technology culture fits in with Macintosh better than Wintel.

your logic makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, this is slashdot. They should open source their DB and make money by selling support contracts.

Silly. Using photoshop has nothing to do with my rights online.

No, that's not it. just look at the fake html tags they use.

I don't know... CmdrTaco, Hemos, Timothy, etc. are all "editors".
6. it could disappear without a trace 7. it could get slashdotted.

Yeah. I met her last night. Her name's Lorena. I forget her last name, though.
That's really spooky... I just got done taking a leak. I just hope nobody tryies to "fix" me!

my newspaper had an article about it this morning. it is indeed a travelocity ad..

$3.99? They were probably concerned that you had a premature ejaculation problem!

If it's such a great idea, and likely to make vast amounts of money, why isn't Mr Cringely doing it himself?
The UN is a government of governments, beholden only to themselves. THAT is why the UN shouldn't have it.
Of course, thinking of carrot top having sex is only slightly less appealing than thinking of CmdrTaco, Hemos, or CowboyNeal having sex.
