Because there are some fools who don't like GTK+ and can't see (the poor, benighted infidels) why they should use it for all the apps they write, and rewrite any apps they have that don't use it.
I thought that slashdot was supposed to be news for nerds. You know have a tech/geek spin on stuff. I can get this news anywhere. At least the voting machine articles were on topic.
Thanks for the insight. I guess I am just used to how things function on most platforms. I work on a variety of systems (Linux,Windows,Mac) on a daily basis so I think that my perception is skewed because I can just fall into whatever environment I am in at the time. I can completely understand your point of view on this though. I remember (barely) the first time I used Linux, Mandrake 8.2, and it did feel weird.
I guess this is just a matter of point of view. I don't mind that platform independant applications don't look like thier OS as long as they consistently function the same. As far as what you mean by "more than just theming" I can't begin to guess. Perhaps you would be interested in elaborating on this?
I have to wonder why this is? I use GIMP, GAIM and X-Chat on Windows without issue and they work exactly the same as thier Linux counterparts. Are they ported or are they completely rewritten as you suggest? (Or maybe you were implying that the Windows versions suck)
Not trying to start a flamewar I really want to know. I have never done any development in GTK so I guess Im at a bit of a disadvantage.
Here here! I would dearly love to have this running on Windows just for the sake of project management. Not that Bluefish has an extensive project management system. It still would be nice to have one environment to do all my HTML/PHP editing in. Being that this is a GTK app I wonder how hard it would be to make the conversion? Almost all other GTK projects that I use have windows ports so I wouldn't imagine it would be that difficult.
How do you expect children to learn advanced mathmatics when we haven't even finished beating "2+2=5" into thier heads?
I mean sheesh, give the Ministry of Truth a chance!
I have been giving away a compilation CD containing a slew of open source software including Firefox, Thunderbird, and Open Office. I have been doing this for about the last three years for christmas because I'm too poor to buy everyone a gift and it helps get the word out. This year I'm including a little Christmas RPG that I wrote in Java as well. I have found that many people are willing to give free software a chance if they don't have to download it and have someone that will answer questions for them. I suggest more people try this approach.
I would also like to get feedback on if there would be interest in an ISO of the disk I give out. I would be more than willing to host it if there was interest.
Isn't UDP by design unreliable? My understanding is that is was designed so you could send a lot of traffic when it didn't matter if you got it all. Sounds kinda stupid to base a file transfer process on this.
You know, I always thought the people here complaining about the formatting issue were smoking crack until I finally got around to installing Firefox on my Windows box. (I have been using it on my Mandrake Linux box for a while, I usually don't browse the web on my windows box). Really it's not that big a deal. There's a wee bit of overlapping but everything is still accessable and readable. Really you guys need to quit yer whining.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah try opening a PHP file in it.
Soon to be followed by 10.5: Apple Hadoken
whitepages.com has 'em.
Now I can get my office switched over. Asta la vista Windows!
..no one in management is really going to care. Just rack up as many as possible. The bobble-heads will probably never look into it.

If it's open source (as in you can look at the source code) then why couldn't it be proted to Linux? Or are they just giving away a free IDE?

Ummm.... not trying to troll (and hope you are not as well) but when did IBM kill 6 million jews? How will Microsoft do the same?
...have stuck with MonkeyBall

...documentation afterwards. That's logic!
This is patently false. Haven't you ever seen Clerks?

... Only Wookies share Light Stock Freighters with Scoundrels.
That would depend on if the movies get an NC-17 rating ;)
What the hell is this "In Korea" thing? Did I miss the boat on the latest "In Soviet Russia..."?
I still play this game occasionally. What ever happened to the 'American McGee's Alice' Movie?

But what the hell do I know?
Im not happy about this passing but at least most of the really stupid things were removed. Maybe my letters to good ol' Orrin helped.
