Let's just all DUMP on any company that want's to *OH MY GOD* profit from making software! And while we are at it, let's all DUMP on companies that actually *OH MY GOD* pay their employees to build software! GOD FORBID anyone should *ACTUALLY* make a living from doing work!
i really love open source software, it is fun to play with and has all sorts of other benefits. but, i have to agree with you on this one.
one of the benefits of OSS is that it adds tremendously to the amount of choice in the marketplace. Choice is a wonderful thing, even if some people choose to develop proprietary software. if something like this passes, it will stain OSS with the same blood that M$ saunters around so happily with. no, i'm not talking about cash (tho coffers would be a side effect), it would be the stain of unjust force to abate someone else's choices, and replace them with one side's point of view.
i love my cube too, but lets face it man, the things are much faster as paper weights these days:(
can anyone reccomend a good application for my poor box, that will work, and be secure on the internet, today so it may find a home again??? or at least a decent free software archive for the thing that's still running????
man, i love nextketeers! i bought mine cuz i loved the keyboard. man, do u know of any converter or possible way that i could get that so proprietary keyboard to work on anything else?????
i love my next cube, but i saw the os running on a pentium 166 back in the day and it was screaming fast even back then. oh, and i liked the color. the cube i've got right now is a 25 w/ b&w studio monitor, so . . . .
ok, so its half open, half closed, but still, all available even right now, and to be documented and released once Safari goes gold (i would presume that's why they waited). that doesn't change the fact that it's usable today, right now.
what difference this makes to the access to the underlying system i see as only a detail, yeah, omnigroup is gonna have to shake things up once it all becomes official and released, but they i'm sure know that, and accept it. otherwise, they, like everyone else, would have waited. i've been using omniweb since it was the browser of choice on the next cube, and they go where they want, when they want, for their own reasons.
hold the phone! i'm using the omniweb 4.5 beta, which is using the apple web core stuff, the same internal apple api and kit that safari is built on.
yes, that's third party access to the mac OS. its open source now, COME ON!
microsoft is playing this one like a dissociative lunatic, they are the ones that don't give access to shit, accusing apple of doing (which they aren't) what m$ has done for years. maybe its to convince people that just don't know about the current state of affairs that this is being forced on them by apple. sheesh!
ahh, but people can work twice as hard when whipped or given incentive properly. you can guess why most people get agitated when they are forced to do this.
can't NetFlix use the publicity that walmart brings and the mainstream acceptance-ness to grow their business even larger. its the kind of news that will help them promote themselves. if they redouble their current efforts now, they know the business, they should be able to stay ahead for some time to come.
the author has obviously never used a mac running OS X. we have all the tools built in, when u install the developer's toolkit you get a full set of stuff. hey, there's always been applescript too.
usually, don't respond to ACs but you are coherent and an error. ... .
Sounds like it is a p[oorly managed company anyhow, if they went single-threaded on a core business unit!
ok, when a company cuts costs, that means they rely on a single unit to do what two were doing before. its hardly a case of bad management, and more of a statement of what happens when you cut costs too far. there truly was a lot of fat left over from the boom times, but its very easy to cut bone along with fat
i agree with you. i saw the old roadmaps that said we would be running something in the 2ghz range, last year.
all i know is that my friends who are un-initiated but would be mac folk (being musicians and artists) all ask me if my TiBook is running a G5 and when the G6 is coming out.
lets face it, Moto doesn't give a shito about their desktop market.
i happen to like my mips box, thank you. and they are cheap now, now that they are such a pain in the ass to compile anything for. of course my mips server is four years old now:( why do you have to attack my poor little raq ?
you find that one person who doesn't realize that they are still working for basically, a monopoly, who breaks their rules and makes things work like they should.
i have hellsouth adsl in miami. we have competition in telco here, but, hellsouth still owns the lines and equipment. when i killed them as my home phone provider for the second largest de-regulated company around here, they terminated my dsl as punishment, because apparently, of the twenty people i spoke with there, only one would let me leave my credit card number and continue my account as it was.
yes, they turned off my working ADSL for no reason. after a 10 day outage, it was restored.
just like gnutella, they can pull the development plug on their end, but who cares, we all know how "stunted" the gnutella network is these days/snicker/
i find it hillarious, cuz those nullsoft guys manage to defy corporate authority and gpl out some great software to share filez every so often, and not get sued for it. think about it, how many gnutella lawsuits have arrived?
i think its odd that with all of the religious tie ins, and the animatrix, that people don't compare the matrix more to japanese animation with live actors. think about ghost in a shell, where does the machine stop and the spirit begin?
get thee a shrubbery!

i always felt that the most important issue, was not just being a maker, or constructivist, but being professional about my business conduct. if there was one and only one thing i learned it was that a proper presentation of one's self would decide if someone else will pay you to make things for them. after that, its all wine and roses, and blooshot eyes and doing what you love.

$Open_Source= "good";
$Free Software = "better";

actually, the story was written inside the reality distortion field . . . . .

scuse me, what about the mac os mach microkernel basis?? this is why, and it works :)

bottom line, new m$ bullshit, same stink!

i'm specifically exhaling because i don't have to explain to the uninitiated why apple doesn't use a "G5" just yet. its annoying!
collectively let out our breath and exhale!
right?

these companies are the pits!
average computarded person doesn't even know what a web browser is, or that there's more than one of them.
this is why m$ was so afraid of netscape, and if aol was smart, they would start their own linux distro, netscape linux and take advantage of this.
