it's a microkernel, why not just drop aqua onto whatever kernel they feel like? If it's not a gpl or other open licensed kernel, there's no requirement to publish code, and Apple still retains the right to call it OSX. Unless I am missing something, It's always been called OSX running on BSD, I'm assuming this means the look and feel of the GUI, the window manager, the kernel, and several other things are what make up an operating system. In the case of a kernel swap it might not be UNIX or BSD any longer, but won't it still be OSX?
here is that there's too much overlap in social networking sites, everyone is trying to do the same thing the other guys is doing, only better. At that point, there's no reason to offer interoperability because it offers nothing to pare down the sameness of each site. I think what social networking sites need to do first is offer some type of differntiation amongst themselves, more than a simple "myspace on cingular" or "friendster mobile email". Only when each site is unique will there be reason for interoperability.
that the marketing geniuses would be so at odds with the players of games. Finally the data is in, you're playing a game, and you want to go around in a car, or run around and shoot people or play a sport or whatever. You don't want to think about a new pair of sneakers or getting a sandwich. You bought the game to play it, not to solicit advertising for upgrades to your lifestyle.
that SGI would be able to come up with a working business model and pull themselves out of debt and stay around a while, if it means they're going to sit on their IP and sue the bejesus out of everyone, I wish they'd just go away. You hear me SGI? Innovate or die means innovate now, not 20 years ago.
cost effective. I can see 40 years or so into the future when we've all got these railgun missles that somebody will make a decision that parallels NASA's choice to go back to rockets for vehicle launch. Rockets are cheaper than a reusable vehicle? Rocket's are cheaper than our railgun centrifuge?
as a new crop of worker refuses to perform jobs because they can't have internet access, freely, there will be massive job openings for guys like me that are old enough (not old, 31) to respect an employer's rules and security, realizing there's a reason for restricting access to distractions like the internet. Oh, but if American workers refuse the job, you mean I'll have to swim to India to get it?
the hell knows? They won't say, and the public isn't likely to find out the truth. In reality, most rev1 products have problems, and laptops take a hell of a rough beating, especially compared to stationary computers. Does Apple have more problems than any other OEM? Not likely, considering Apple contracts the manufacturing of their products to the same people that make everyone else's products also. If Apple were experiencing massive quality control problems, we would see it across the channel, not just at one company and one product line. And please, it's not as if Intel hardware is especially fragile compared to ppc hardware, so far as I know "Intel Inside" was never meant to be a marketing slogan for "fragile"
trying to track down who's actually calling you, and getting a restraining order against them. Or you can create a web site about it and expose whomever may be responsible, odds are they won't take too kindly to the exposure.
Now I can finally get yesterday's news next week. Or can I one-click my way to overnight shipping so I'm only 3 days out? If I have the computer to order the dvd of the news, why can't I use the computer to read the news in the first place? I must be missing a key point here.
Agreed, I'm also wondering why HDMI is optional. Not that the technology would require a recompile, but aren't Sony also trying to move more HDMI equiped televisions and monitors?
Slashdot Mirror
It's gone from suck to blow.
I would think it would be much higher than 93% male linux userbase.

Uh, I think he already is writing crappy murder mysteries. See above.
you located? I'm always looking for another job. Shoot me an email.
no, stop, you're killing me, ahhahahahahahhahahhahahhahahhahhahhha

people somehow rooting for Microsoft. When you're that big, do you really need a fan club on slashdot?

thin client be a cheaper and easier solution per seat?
I just wish I could get a job supporting two computers.

Business happens. You've never seen two businesses team up in order to lose money before? I guess you don't have AOL down under either...
I'll be more impressed when someone hacks it to run Windows. Or better yet, DOS.

fun you must be to think up questions like that.
Theo must be the only person you have to deal with ever. Seems most everyone I meet these days is like that.
I don't want a robot that can think for itself, I want a robot that can think for ME.

My god, people, it was a joke.
I thought all bugs were supposed to be worked out in alpha, and beta was for when you have your IPO and want to add new features.
