of course DVD-burners are supported in Linux... the kernel cannot see the difference between them and CDR/RW-burners... the firmware takes care of the rest... ok there is an issue with CSS-legacy.
I am getting tired of this comment from time to time. I might not be an engineer, but the reason to start from scratch is that it is truely innovative. Everytime somebody gets code from somebody else they have to interprete it and frankly no humans can do this to perfection. You would say that backwards-engineering is not innovative, but actually it could end out with a total different approach to the same problem, an approach that can be used for other means too.
When talking about about Disney 3D trash, you mean Pixar right? hmm, who is the president of that company again? Steve Jobs that is! Eventhough he is a Mac-founder, many of the machines at Pixar is runned by Linux-clusters(and desktops), but nobody talked about hardware... It might be that there are Macs everywhere, just running Linux and/or Darwin. I think that is what the G5 is build for at least.
I didn't find anything on Trolltech's homepage, but their portfolio could show ownership of shares, not full ownership of companies. Maybe they own 10%?
I think you need to see the documentary "The Code"... I think he looked loaded enough in his nice car and house in Silicon Valley
but then again, that was before the.com days.
Coming from Denmark, we recently had discussions about our constitution, as many politicians are getting tired of trying to interprete what people wrote 150 years ago. In a tv-discussion, the danish nazi-leader Johnny Hansen were talking about his rights. He has the right to say that the holocaust didn't exists, since it is not a part of the danish constitution, but not allowed to use the english/american word "nigger" (can I actually?) since the constituion follows up on our former law against slavery and those conditions it was formed by.
I am for one a person who likes Jeffersons ideology, but I can also see how it has developed in the US among other countries in the world. Brian Springer's documentary shows this very nicely, eventhough from the start of the 90's, I haven't seen any shift in the american news-broadcast (*hint* Fox News patriotism).
Back to the original story: As being in Denmark, and we also have the law about free reply, shouldn't the law already be counting for newspapers online? We see this regulary in newspapers (we are sorry that we said something wrong in the last edition) and television (we are sorry that it was not the truth anyway) without consequences. Here you would complain to a commitee, and this will then send it further to the media, and request to broadcast/print it, not nesecerally (I can't spell that word!) in a prominent place, but at least close.
For the Internet, it would propably mean professional medias online, blogs that is regulary and creates influence in the society and companies in cases like the SCO that would attack a whole community.
(where is my sig? well it can still be compared to sex, I tell you!)
SCO is suing IBM claiming a technology transfer... RedHat, SuSE and other distributions might be using it, but if they weren't involved or had any prior knowledge about the transfer, how can they be sued?
Everytime I go to design conferences (I am a interaction/process/pervasive designer) I see Philips' visions. I have had some courses with designers from Holland (a part of the Netherlands, appearently) that have or will work at Philips. I don't know if it is the context the designers are missing or it is real visions.
Last time I watched an idea, it was also simular to this. A guy laying in his couch and watching television in a window (not on a computer, a window in the room, apperarently it was dark enough to look at the screen). Suddently his daughter calls him, and he sees her in the window area besides the television. He wouldn't miss that show while talking to his daughter in person. Another children are watching television in their rooms, and then they suddently want to go into the kitchen. They take the pencil that saved the program they were watching, and put it in a holder at the kitchen, and then they can continue watching the same program. It is so hard to turn on the tv with a remote and press a couple buttons!
Putting technology into existing everyday things have never been accepted by people, as the value of the product would change. Looking into a mirror will never be the same, and I would be damn scared if a tv-program suddently popped up on my mirror without knowing it (as they wouldn't in hotels). Mirrors are objects to serve a personal need, not for entertainment, except those funny faces:o):o)=:i0):o(i)
I think you get the idea... no software should control any houses until there is a waranty for it, like todays alarms. I would have the right to sue Microsoft/[other evil company] for errors in my house. People don't want to be told how the future house should look like, they want tools to do it themselves. Every house has an individual look, since individuals live there... but individuals is not what Billy Boy sees, he looks at a market-segment.
The only problem with this comment is that it is probably the same programmers that makes the open source software that did the software in "the old days"... open source doesn't mean that everyone can screw around in the software used in the shuttles, but it doesn't stop you from using it for your own space shuttle programme.
that is exactly was the article is about. Panther uses a multi-login system simular to the one found in Longhorn. But to say that they copy MS innovation might be overrated, as we haven't seen or heard about the real features in 10.3. We have to wait till the conference is over and everyone is leeking information *grin*
exactly... nothing is consistent about the style I see in the (very) small picture... as a designer, and off course mac-user (at work), my colleagues and I would never go near it.
actually win98 is still the best OS to run games, all my friends still does it. I am running windows 2000 for my simcity stuff, but I am really thinking about moving back to win98, and I even have 1GB of RAM! winXP, forget it... since I tried it once it was formated again... the menu structure is horrible and slow, and even with the graphics turned down on a 1.4GHz it is still slower than my KDE (which I think is too bloated, and therefore using fluxbox). And hey, PSP is still great, eventhough Gimp and Photoshop are my friends.
I have been interested in the format for long, when I wanted to build my own mediaplayer. Playing music, movies/series and maybe even record or use digital television would be really great for everyone to build from. I think that from moving to be PC-builders we would also become to be more building media-equipments in our homes.
I think you cannot involve distant learning by all means. Some educations, like mine, are focused on team collaboration, self-organising, user centred design (a lot of fieldwork) and modelling. Eventhough it seems to be a perfect solution to have distant education, it is not always very helpful. Many times we just need to meet personally to get inspiration or a "kick in our butt" in a process, and surely how can anyone survive without social relations (here I am thinking of cake and coffee, very popular in our country;)
Theoretical studies, like economy, marketing, engineering (some part of it) and many others can surely be done from home, because most time at school is just wasted anyway (I took a bachelor degree in International Economy, but I could surely have got the same by reading the books at home and send some questions by email).
Is it me, or doesn't the picture at the bottom of the link look like the "Church of Apple". Everyone praying for that glowing apple and the whiteclothed preacher.
Not saying that I am not a happy mac-user, but I really felt like seeing a episode of Futurama again, or was it the church of Star Trek?;-)
what is this creepy homepage about? somebody named linux needs a to get his hole done throughout a root-channel? and now it also need patching! I would sue that doctor... oh wait, this is not the healthy-mom.com?
I very much doubt that you are the target-group anyway. It seems that you just loves every game with bloathed graphics and run to your local store (if you aren't a 0-dayz warez-guy) because of the nice commercials. I have played C&C Generals on my machine, and really don't give a damn, redalert still rocks (a simular game just went opengl for kde). The game is not innovative, the idea is about 15 years old (Dune), only graphics improve and different features arrive or gets lost.
For the articles sake (eventhough it is the shortest one I read today, yippie:) these people seems to be hardcore game-programmers. One had made one of my favorite games for years: mad bomber! man I played that on my Amiga with my friends a lot in the early 1990's:) Another makes great samples, another really great graphics. The only question is if those people can actually work together, because then I cannot see why they couldn't make a succesful game that hopefully are TRUELY innovative. . .
eventhough the gaming industry is worth billions, these offices you talk about might be worth a lot more. Think of all the licenses MS will loose if they would "sell" the idea of Windows is a gaming platform, picture this:
Employee 1: "Hey, have you just heard that the next windows is going to focus on games?"
Employee 2: "cool, now I can play more at home... or even at work! "
The Boss heard the conversation and takes action. No more upgrades for windows in that office, and makes plans to not use it anymore. (Credit and copyright goes to/dev/null)
I barely think it will be the case, because MS will make a "Professional" or somewhat like that. Seen how many XPs at offices? not seen it yet here anyway.
yep, as an interaction designer I am seeing the clear trend for differentation. People who wants to play games, buy a gameconsole, people who wants to do work buy a workstation, people who wants to serve the community buys a servere and then there is the restgroup, who wants everything in the same computer (like me) to save space:)
The really great thing is that Linux would be able to run on every platform, because Linus and his buddies already have seen this trend years ago (maybe it was the playstation who gave the hint, who knows).
I think the counterstrike thing with having the client only in the windows env. (except through wine, works great) and having servers for both windows and linux has been clearly done for the users. My friends still play CS (I stopped two years ago, had to do some work) and they run linux servers for ftp, ssh, httpd and ofcourse CS. But when they want to use a client, they choose windows, because they either are used to it, because they don't know about GUI in linux or because they only see linux's potentials in serving files (which it is also great for:)
