Sco. They had they Linux and they pulled it off. Although I'm sure that Sun will ever put itself in Sco's position (wrong-doer to the open source movement).
Of what you've listed, I've used only eclipse. Really, I don't find it slow for what it does compared to any other complex application. Have you looked at dreamweaver, ilustrator, or any other modern complex application and see how slow they are? And there's no java to blame there. Being slow is a consequence of today's complexity and modern development techniques, you simply can't say "Java" and expect it to mean "slow".
For simple apps to medium apps, java is not slow. I can mention here azureus, sanchez, jedit, hot potato, freemind, some custom apps that I have met in my work, etc.
massive runtime: last I look, the NET framework had me download about 40 megs from msft (includes sp1), while java stands at about 15 megs. The installation is a lot easier than NET (I had to run net twice because of some error, plus the service pack, which I needed for my app to work.
You mean Primus, Phish, Grateful Dead, Counting Crows and many other bands that you can find on etree and archive? I seriously doubt your musical taste.
Hey man, if you would carefully read the story, you'll see that they've managed to install XP on that machine. It means that there's no technical incompatibility on the hardware side on BIOS calls between OSX and XP.
And those machines, being given to developers as reference machines, I don't see too many chances that Apple will make incompatible changes to the final design, your second point.
Not funny. I'm sick of hearing the same joke on every hardware related story. Really. Get over it.
If you're just about ready to click submit on a comment that has slashdot meme in it, think again, no matter how funny you think it is. If you would read it from someone else, would it still be funny? Aren't you tired of the same old shit, repeated over and over again?
perhaps in a geeky way, maybe they're doing the decompression without using any special hardware chip inside the ipod, who knows. But I'm surprised you ask. Hand over your slashdot account.
No. It means "Linux doesn't have a lot of outstanding security issues because of the many eyes reviewing the code and lots of frequent security updates, and not some black hats debuging the binary image"

Sure! :-) Windows 2003 Server license, that's about 300$, multiplied by 144, 43.200$, right?
And who says windows needs TCO? Any guy in the office can admin a windows box...
Now all the bot networks operators can control their bots a lot better, right?
What if, for example, the adware serves its adds from a server with an IP number, instead of a name?
Jedit with plugins.
Maybe you can try the ftp or external editor with zope...
Lots of grammar mistakes in my post. Appologies, should have previewed :)

I'd rather have slow products that have lots of features that I need then fast products with only a fraction of what I need.
(Of course, this doesn't apply every time).

233 is just barely enough for an xserver, not "more than enough". My experience.
Although it's true that it can be run on a 486 33 Mhz, but mozilla runs really slow.
Yes, because hippies share, just like in the Open source movement, right?

Looking at the integration features, it seems better then either Windows or *nix versions of OpenOffice.
Then I, for one, welcome our incredible smart, witty and original slashdoter overlords.

Now I feel better
Who says reading /. is passive!
No, I never said that

I find Zope a lot easier to install then mysql+php. And zope offers so much more with than lamp... but it's kind of apples to orranges.
I've always found vlc to be extremely slow on my windows. Is there a trick to do it right?
No. It means "Linux doesn't have a lot of outstanding security issues because of the many eyes reviewing the code and lots of frequent security updates, and not some black hats debuging the binary image"
New: 0day warez with open source :)
(yeah, I know and use tpb and etree, so don't bother explaining me about legal torrents)
What, you have DHCP running on your router? How's that revolutionary?
Thanks man for explaining the wonders of kde. I wish I could tell everybody how much I'm enjoying it, but I'm not that good with words :)
