As I understand, Java manages all of the garbage collection by itself. So using Java with a native compiler (instead of the VM crap) like GCJ would be a clever solution.
About your comment regarding strcat, sprintf, etc., I couldn't be more agree with you. I *hate* the way C does string handling (it's awful for God's sake). What are those safe versions you are refering to?
Konqueror has been out for ages already, it's lightweight, and free software. And Qt based.
I don't know if it's tightly integrated into KDE to make it a Qt-only app (I guess it is), but just the browser component of it could be 'stripped out', KHTML is pretty mature. The AtheOS web browser is bassed off it.
I am not a KDE/Qt developer nor a KDE user, so I might be wrong at this. But I think it would be easier to mantain a stripped-down, kde-less version of the browser component of Konqueror instead of trying to keep up-to-date with a Qt port of Mozilla, which BTW is a bit bloated for PDAs (and please don't get me wrong here, I *LOVE* Mozilla).
Microsoft will include Java on Windows XP at 2004, just in time where their.net/C# platform will be a masive standard and there is no place for Java on the M$ world...
Like I said on a previous post on another dupe story, perhaps a mechanism which filters on the links attached to a story would surely eliminate a big deal of dupes...
There were other neat design features that frankly didn't work. Like daisychained controllers. Player 2s pad plugged into Player 1s. Thing is, if Player 2 was winning, Player 1 could easily unplug him..
LOL, my brother used to unplug my control from his when we played super street fighter 2 turbo back in the day and I beat the crap out of him...
The 3DO was a fine console but never got the attention it deserved. When the PSX came out, the only thing that kept me from selling it out was the same two games you're mentioning: SSF2T and Samurai Shodown.
I think it's because of the music files. The original one has them as mod, this release uses OGG Vorbis instead.
I had this game on the Panasonic 3DO console, and has been one of my all-times favorite (together of course with Super Metroid for the SNES, the best platform/adventure game ever made);-)
Perhaps to check out the links of the posted stories? That would surely eliminate a bunch of dupes (but I don't know how good would it be for tripes:p )
I really hope that this project gets all the attention it deserves, and becomes the new 'de-facto' look for KDE.
I am not a big fan of desktop environments (I use AfterStep alone), but this idea shows a big improvement over the rather old and boring start-menu-taskbar model of win95/NT4/98/me/2k/xp, GNOME and current KDE.
It really shows innovation, and moving away from what is already stablished cannot be anything but a good thing.
Ok, but only one question...

And this is not a troll. Why is the article under the BSD section of slashdot?
And the most portable ones.
If a webapp developer follows the given standards, then his application will work on most (if not all) graphical browsers (sorry i'm leaving lynx and alikes out here). So the client just needs to be a compliant browser, platform independent (sw and hw).
Current and new technologies makes possible almost any kind of user interface and functionality upon a web based application. Using PHP, XHTML, JavaScript et al there's whole range of rich of functions, database conectivity, printable documents generation (PS/PDF), etc. And with the upcoming adoption of Xforms, things are just about to get better.
My advice, just follow the standards, the open standards. Leave out flash or any other kind of malicious, closed evil web-gadget.
Meanwhile, the EFF is considering supporting Gator's case, saying the issue is about who controls a computer when people go on-line.
Ok, and what about Gator installing its ad/spyware without users noticing it? What about it opening endless of popup/popunder windows? What about it monitoring users browsing/shopping habits?
I thought the EFF was here to defend, first, the people rights online over those of the companies, even more unethical ones.
... before the 10 years the company that sold the software goes bye-bye?
Closed source, commercial software is generally buried under these circunstances. Take opensource software on the other hand. If the mantainer of the package decides to 'go away', it's very likely that if it's a succesful project someone else will take it on his hands. And you will always be able to get and modify the source code, hire someone to do it for you or adapt it for your future needs.
I think there is no point on adopting closed source, commercial software for such long-term projects. Just think of what happened with Windows 95. In just three years that it was launched, a new version (98) came over and 95 wasn't available in stores anymore. Not so long ago, 95 stopped being a supported product making you upgrade to 98 in order to be able to enjoy from all the new features and nifty stuff.

I might be wrong at this, but isn't he who resigned from Microsoft and started a new company, whose focus is to create a Linux-based media box?

How good M$ deals are!!

Oh no, Digital Rights Management on Linux? I won't be able to listen to my OGG files anymore!
TWO DUPES A DAY!
Which, as we all already know, is a failure in The Matrix.
Or is it that it's just ANOTHER dupe story?
lol

M$N .net PASSPORT!!! Your universal authentication solution!!
whoa, this sounds like Tarzan english translation... 'me tarzan, be king of the jungle!'
AFAIK, the translator used by Sherlok on OS X is the same that empowers Babelfish, if it isn't babelfish itself.
I'll lose all respect for them.

Just my 2 cents.
This comes to mind.
