Please give insight on how Apple steals from the open source community. If I recall correctly:

I'm feeding the troll, yes i know. But it's got to stop. Moderators, mod him down.

Oh dear, looks like that it might have happened!
I am very familiar with both.NET and Java, and IMHO.NET is a better architecture.
How is.NET a better architecture? You give absolutely NO reasoning for this. Please, before you tell us that.NET is better, have a list of reasons why.

If I wanted to buy those cds, what would I get? The latest radio drivel that I hear on the local radio station constantly. Yes, some mainstream bands have some good songs, but in my opinion, they are the more obscure songs from that band...not the latest MTV video.
Until I can choose which songs go on the cd that I want to buy, I won't buy a cd. Instead I will download the few songs a week that I do (less than 10).
My dad is computer illterate and he pays $40 a month for internet access. Road Runner was installed for free and he doesn't have to worry about dropping $15 into a second phone line and another $15-$20 for an ISP.
The question is: how many of these users are going to use the internet enough to afford a second phone line...and if they do have one, RR or some other cable inet service isn't going to cost them much more.
YellowTab (www.yellowtable.com) purchased the rights for BeOS, yes it's commercial, but that's not bad. OBOS isn't ready for anything and Blue Eyed OS is just a pretty GUI...
Anyways, BeOS is in development again by paid professionals who want to see it succeed, and they have a monetary investment in the future of it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see BeOS come back from the dead in a year or two.
But what about their subscribers? If I pay for a subscription to Time and I need an electronic copy to cite for a paper or something, I have to pay TW twice for this content, and I have to use their softare to access it.
I don't feel this is good for their already suscribed customers.
The feature from NextSTEP in 1987 that you are referring to has been in CDE for far longer. WIndows didn't rip OS X off, it has evolved into something that looks as hideous as CDE
No, it can't do live queries today, but that's because Reiser and the team have spent years getting performance to a level where they can actually do justice to the original vision of the BeFS team (who iirc were severely limited by performance problems).
And that is exactly why I still use BeOS. Find me a file system that does queries like this and I'll switch back to linux full time.
I"m going to respond to my own post because I mentioned RPM,deb, tarball, etc...
OS X does modular driver updates and they have a nifty little utility to install updates automatically. It mounts a dmg, moves the particular module over to the right directly and more or less does a modprobe on it...pretty simple, why can't we end up doing something like that? With a KDE and Gnome version (both are relatively simple apps), you can end up making an installer really really easily.
The problem is getting people to decide on what package format to use or package everything in multiple formats (deb, rpm, tgz, etc)...
Stupid people don't start revolutions. The government has reasons to keep you in the range of stupid because then you can't change anything. Microsoft keeps you stupid because if you try anything else, you won't like it because it's not "easy".
Slashdot Mirror
Does Knoppix work on Alphas, Sparcs, PowerPCs and numerous other achitectures other than x86?
Until it does, the installer means dick. Debian wants a consistent experience for EVERY platform it supports, from installer to package management.
This is why there is no real GUI installer yet, there isn't one that runs on all platforms correctly.

YOu need to view the popup, yet Power IE has a pop up blocker? I have a feeling they are going to screw themselves in the long run :)

As for Hoyle...how is that educational?
so do it...
You won't be missed by any mac users.
Why do I care if you buy a new computer, supporting a company that's been convicted of abusing monopolistic power.
Like I said, you won't be missed.
I don't have an anti-ms hole. My problem is that you decided to say .NET is better than Java but you didn't give a reason.
.NET and I don't see the benefits of it yet.
.NET to be anti-ms.
You didn't cite anything either. Sorry but you were blindly marketing for something and not giving the benefits.
I have looked at C# and

How is
I usually use vi to code some html and C and compile it on my Mac.
What's worse is he compiles html on his mac too!
No, in all seriousness, there's no reason that he HAS to use the terminal for everything. The point is, he utilizes it and it's there.

According to this article $1 real money is $10 PED. The question is are item prices inflated for that change of price too?
Are you referring to StarWrite?
I agree, I wanted to try this out but I can't get the netinstall working either under VMWare. Hopefully, they'll include the driver soon.

Well you guys have successfully fed a troll longer than I have ever seen before. Congrats :)

I spent a long time reading that, I've been robbed of many many minutes of my life...now I have to go do something else
bye.
"Windows of Perception" is really long an difficult...it needs an acronym...
:)
Internet Explorer has IE, Mozilla has Moz, Netscape has NS.
Would you run a browser with the acronym WOP?

Not 5 minutes ago this was posted and modded informative. Now it's posted again and it's modded informative. This one should be redundant.

food for thought
Then what we to have are modules that are NOT hard linked to kernel versions and distribute modules in RPM, deb, tarball whatever.
A person should not have to recompile. The proper people (distro mantainers should have this responsibility, or volunteers).
You don't see people compiling their own drivers, we need drop in replacements in the form of modules and that's it.
