I too am fixing to being developing a new desktop gui app. I first thought 'Java' because I like cross platformness, however, working with Swing is a bitch. So, my idea so far is to take C#, develop on the logic and db access etc. in it (using the ado.net sqlite dll), slap it into a dll. All of a sudden all of brains of my app is crossplatform from Windows to Linux/OS X. Then, all one has todo is reference the dll and build a gui in Windows.Forms or GTK# etc. I will be doing a seperate gui in Windows.Forms and one in GTK# at a later date since windows support is needed first. The above solution would allow you to use Visual Studio to create apps that should run on mono without any problems (assuming you don't take advantage of any windows specific features in the logic dll).
Use it to your advantage and *use* both of the clipboards you are given. Think about it, you want to copy some text, use ctrl-c/v but then you also want to delete some text, you high light it,making it go into your second clipboard then delete it. Uh oh, you need that text back for some reason, and you have been ctrl-c/ving a lot, in a normal world, it would be gone. However, in this world with *two* clipboards, it will still be there (atleast in theory). I know it has saved my butt with urls and random text that I wanted but never gotten around to saving all while ctrl-c/ving a lot.
I don't want to start a flamewar over which language is best, but what do you suggest one should program cross platform apps in? C and C++ seem too low-level for most applications, but is doable when using a crossplatform gui toolkit such as wxWidgets,QT or GTK., VB isn't portable, so its out of the race. C# is mainly Windows (although it may not be the case for too much longer with mono and GTK# kicking some serious ass). So I guess the only language per say left is Java/Swing or something of that nature. Keep in mind, I am not a Java fanboy, I program in it every once in a blue moon, but would rather not. So again to restate the question, what do you suggest one writes corssplatform apps in?
I found the complete opposite with my dad. He was running windows, but I moved him to Linux (Win2k -> Redhat 8 -> 9 -> FC1), set it to auto-login to his desktop on boot. As far as inputting his root password every now and then, he dosn't mind, because he understands that it helps keep his system secure. If taking less than 2 seconds once a week (updates) makes his system run as smooth as silk near 100% of the time, he is all for it. I think the 'run as root full time' only applies if you have the windows mentallity 'install as much kludge in a week as I can'. Since this kludge is windows-only kudge, and dosn't run on linux there is no need to be root 24/7.
it has happened before, even at UT Austin. Back in the 60's some guy got up on the tower and started picking people off, killed quite a few people and injured many more. Hence why one isn't allowed up to the very top any more. However, I think this situation is entirely different and agree with your comments (minus having the bomb part)
I think the iPod Mini + arm band should solve the listening while running problem, sure its not quite solid state, but close enough. But, this player does support ogg, which is 'insanely great'.
this really isn't a problem anymore as of 2.6. oss is old and crusty (and the default in pre 2.4.x kernels), thankfully, it has been replaced with alsa. Give it a month or so until all the distros are running a 2.6.x kernel and the problem will cease to exist (for people who update anyways).
they do control the hardware, but all the parts in there are standard peices of hardware. It isn't so much the hardware that they are worried about, it is the software. OS X is pretty damn nice to open-standards and the hardware is nice. They still can go with a linux/bsd solution, such at a time when the latest Mac OS won't run on the machines properly they can load up Linux etc.
because the other music store probably wouldn't use iTunes and it would delute the whole 'just works' with your iPod and iTMS.

architectural superiority of the PowerPC chip
I bet quite a few people do. People that want a good powerpc machine for cheap, the easiest/cheapest way is to go is a macintosh. Of course after running on PowerPC for a while..x86 dosn't look so great;-)

My guess is Power On System Test.

if bush held a mensa card..well that just dosn't say very much for the top 2% of the populatino now does it...
and then watch wireless jammers come out so you won't get a ticket for speeding ;-)
I got me a gmail account w/o a blog, just have to get invited :-P and unforantly, I havn't gotten an invite yet.
maybe Zeta's Yellowtab? They claim to be using BeOS and such.

same with my 400Mhz g4 (upgrade blue and white g3), panther runs great on it!

for those that want passive mode (like kismet) there is Kismac. http://www.binaervarianz.de/projekte/programmieren /kismac/
if Tribes Vengeances uses the Unreal200x engine then there is a chance of a native linux port. w00t.

I was refering to the no business would run their company on obsolete software.
just like nobody runs WinNT4 still..oh wait..
