Just so you know, you can interface with _any_ command-line application (A ruby app, for example) with the runcommand("commandhere"); call.
So literally any programming language can be used with it. Check out my widget CPsUn for an example of this. There are many others out there, too!
Click on the prefrences button (The lil blue dealy on the bottom of the default skin), and drag the Konfabulator icon into the "Applications Virtual Dekstop moves to every Desktop" list window. Close the prefs window, and now they'll move to every desktop! =)
I like PITH tabs better than Chimera/Moz tabs! They're just much more efficient/good. Instead of shrinking the text area, it just increases the window, which eliminates the "But if you have more than 4 tabs open they're useless cause you can't read them!" problem. In fact, thanks to PITH, I've ditched Chimera in favor of Safari.
In case you've not noticed, you've just described Mac OS X. In fact, Mac OS X has software and driver support, and is therefore superiour to BeOS. Don't get me wrong, I love BeOS, but if you want a quick consistant UI, ports of Linux apps, and the ability to run *nix apps/a shell, grab Mac OS X. It's far more robust than what you're looking at with OBeOS.
B) If you ban the ability to be able to post this type of thing, you violate my constitutional rights. If you want this right taken away, you need to go to Iraq, China, or elsewhere.
B) This "stupid asshole" doesn't need to worry about Pallidium, because this "stupid asshole" doesn't use a stupid fucking pc. So burn with your MS Pallidium pc whilst I download my free music all I want.
It's people like you who merely bitch and don't do anything that hurt the computer's future, not people like me who promote alternatives (Macs, Transmeta, SPARC, etc).
Here's the thing everyone is missing: Videogame Consoles (e.g. PS2, XBOX, GC) have their own version of Pallidium. They will run only "trusted" boot code , but that has not stopped Linux from running on them.
I see a future of mod_chip sellers if Pallidium/(Insert Marketing Friendly Name Here) becomes a reality. It iwll become as the Console market is now; if ya wish to run Linux, buy a mod_chip. And yes, Microsoft will have their own team made to prevent chips/shutdown sellers.
And if you don't like it, buy a Mac and chuck Yellow Dog Linux on it; or run Mac OS X.
First: Why the Karmawhoring?! You just spammed my window for no reason.
Second: If you can use Linux, you can use Windows. KDE and the Windows GUI are extremely similar, and considering Linxu is "harder" than Windows, they'll definately understand Windows after Linux.
So is anything ANY company does; even your beloved RedHat, or SuSe. The goal of a company is to make a profit. Those cease and desist letters are to protect that; and they have every legal/moral right to protect their own property. What don't the majority of Linux users get about this?
*Sigh*. Once Linux users see that a business needs to make money, Linux will be viable on the desktop. Until then, none of them will buy Linux often enough to support the business until they gain the desktop. See the Mandrake story currently on the front page for more info on this topic.
Actually, Apple has already taken Konq: see Safari, Apple's version of Konq.
As previously stated, their install is hardly slick. Mac OS X's is much nicer (Trust me, I've seen em both).
In reality, Apple needs nothing from Mandrake; they have the more mature/stable FreeBSD and Mach, their own X11 server, and their own OpenSource browser. Apple had actually asked Linus if he wanted to allow Linux to jump in bed with Mac OS X; he declined, and they ended up with the technically superiour FreeBSD.
Apple is, literally, the next Mandrake; here's hoping they don't die off, too.
is that, while this would push Mandrake into rapid developement, it would most likely lose sight of its user-friendly goals, and move toward the road of Slack or Debian (Both extremely good, but complicated).
IMHO, if Mandrake is to become as user-friendly as it hopes, Mandrake needs a contingint of professional coders/GUI designers. If it becomes non-profit, Mandrake will only be coded by hackers.
Not to look down on hackers; I'm one myself, but I'm making a serious effort to move my programs toward user-friendliness and performance. But hackers will not make a user-friendly OS with a good GUI; they will make a hugely powerful OS with a ugly, horribly unintuitive interface, and complete user-hostility. Mind you, this isn't a bad thing; for things like servers, no problem. But Mandrake is aimed for the desktop, and that will just not do.
I'd hate to see Mandrake go, as it had a great goal. But I fear if it goes this route, it will fade into the sunset, a lot like Slack sadly has.
I'd just like to say I've once had a WinCE palmtop, and it crashed enough that it was a nusance, Mind you, not as bad as Win9x/XP, but it still was an annoyance when I'd be tapping in a contact, and suddenly it'd freeze up.
And, have you run Linux, FreeBSD, QNX and Mac OS X on a plamtop/embedded system? I think not.
I'm wondering: what was BMW thinking putting one of the notoriously unreliable OSes in a car? They should have considered maybe Palm OS (as opposed to WinCE), Linux, or maybe an embedded Unix-y thing (e.g. QNX). IMHO, the only 99.9% reliable OSes out there (That I have used) are: Palm OS, QNX, Unix sans X11, and Mac OS X. Obviously X11/Mac OS X (Mind you, much of Mac OS X's stability comes from its knowing for sure what hardware it must support, and there there is neither any extra hardware supporting code, or (usually) driver conflicts) can't fit on an embedded device, so Palm OS or QNX should (IMHO) be used for any/all embedded devices which people depend on. This would emcompass basically everything embedded.
Mind you, if MS makes Windows notoriously reliable I have no problem with it being in cars. I certantly don't use Windows due to its technical inferiority, but if it is reliable it'd be very useful for embedded device manufacturers, as they can then use more programmers (Most programmers need to be somewhat retaught to program Unix/Mac OS X) and programs.

They have one; find Kontent in the gallery. =)

I was thinking this myself, though not in such "colorful" terms. Heh.
Or "Sourceforge shield".

The internet, on the other hand, is free to be used by anyone, and therefore cannot be censored.
Troll.

Did you see that gattling gun?! I want one. =D
Hows about you understand my effin post? =p
Suprised this worked, myself. Possibly the furture of super-cheap supercomputers?

some kind Russian posts that source onto Gnutella!

Heh, well, I guess that's what you get for penning something a ridiculous/obiously-overly-attention-grabbing/horr ibly researched as this.

Just my $0.02.
Running Gnustep on NetBSD? It has most of the NEXTStep/OS X libs already ported over to Linux (And therefore easily ported to NetBSD)...
Ah, you're right; I saw it as soon as you said "Go from A to D". Thanks for the clarifacation. =)
