Writing drivers seems to be the real bug in adoption of new operating systems.
Someday in the future,not to far with processor getting faster by the day,i predict we will have software that can take hardware and chip specs and write drivers on the fly.
Thief was a game. Games that make you think and can build suspense like in a good movie. There seems to be a lack of real story telling and artistic talent at these game companies. The game are all cookie cutter now.
There are tons of minix type clone operating systems on the net free for download as open source. So why does this guy get so much credit for his unix type os ? Because he got the ball rolling. How much of his original code is still in the kernel? Probably none. He doesn't do any coding anymore from what I understand,just sits back and manages what goes into the kernel from opensource developers that get zilcho credit.
What Linux Torvalds did by starting minix was NOT spectacular. What is spectacular is how many software developers have donated time and energy to the GROUP EFFORT of updating his minix into something usable.
So should he be given all the credit on the backs of others ? Why doesn't he defer credit by asking the media to interview other developers that have done more coding than Mr. Torvalds ?
My main point is that the KERNEL should be renamed to suggest the real engine of this project and that is programmers of the World donation's to this kernel.

yes. good point.

yeah gimp can't handle raster graphics !
lol.
Do you know what your saying ?
> One side choose Monopolysoft because there software integrates with other monopolysoft software.
> The other side chooses Linux because it's cheap and reliable.
Nothing new here.
Learn to write your own damn software !
Try Gimp.

Ipod can only be used with itunes.
Thanks for the abused by moderator that censored my comments.
Apple doesn't play by Microsofts rules..
Good one moderators. EVIL censors.
why was modded flamebait?
Great job to the idiot modded me down.
Both companies are locking in but i am flamebait.
Atleast they don't lock-in hardware like Itunes.
I don't want to just use an Ipod. Apple here is the one trying to LOCK-IN products and not Microsoft.
I can not understand all these damn groups with funny Cryptic damn names.
Can you story submitters please speak some damn english !
DAMN == Don't Argue Mookie News.
How does complaining to the SEC get you laid off ?
.
Where is your proof ? I doubt your comments the SEC is not some corrupt organization
Little more info before i would ever believe you.
I am thinking of writing an email to the SEC about all of this insider pump dump nonsense.
I am really wondering what the SEC is doing if anything about any of this.
All of this stuff with SCO and now this company is so borderline MAFIA - oso that something needs to be done.
A public statement by the SEC that they are monitoring all of this activity with SCO would be a good start.
Anyone else agree ?
I HATE cable television. There is not worth to cable tv except for a pay movie channel.
.
But if there needed to be a science channel there would be two different styles of media.
1. Journal like Cell would be stale to alot(not me)
2. More Magazine oriented like Popular Science. Gets to the point. Would have nice graphics and would get to the point.
I don't know how you would get it on cable unless you SUED those cable peckerheads. The would rather put infomercials/QVC on.
It's gambling.
It's also part of the result of some companies paying the ScoSource license which is alleged stolen code in linux.
8 million dollars this year from the licensing of linux.
The linux distributions should rally and threaten companies not to pay. That would DENT sco big time.
Court case begins.
A euro analyst recomended Sco yesterday and the stock went up a couple of dollars.
But what he also mentioned is that if the court case fails the stock would be 'worthless'.
He said it was very speculative.

Huge powerpc with multiple core
Linux's original 10,000 lines of code are gone. I am anti-Bill myself .
.
.
Get a grip though.
Do you want to see a one man show OS ?
sykos operating system
Amazing os
try finding atheos os too
Both amazing achievments.
Never heard of it.
yes. my typo.
I meant minux type.
If you want to see real independent programmer that deserves all the attention try -
skyos operating system
More impressive than Linux's beginnings. Andrew skezelzny.
certainly not "on the backs of others"
Nobody said that.
If I were him i would devert media requests interviews to other programmers that have done alot of the dirty work.
Most of his original 10,000 lines of code are gone.
Thats my problem.
Tell the interviewers that you don't code anymore and that you just manage the kernel.
Deflect attention to the ones that have contributed heavily.
Bye , Bye.

How about EARTH kernel ?
Yes, but faster a faster internet ...
.....
lets say around 10 -20 megabits(VDSL -40 megs)
would make me cancel cable and go just with
internet access.
Content is important since the internet has little of it.
But that Kazaa thing
You can see it coming.
A faster internet means no need for cable television any more.
Probably the reason the Cable Barons are trying Video on Demand. But it will be useless against the tide .
