Relax. What I meant was that other dude seemed to be around at an earlier time than yourself and thus had a different view because s/he saw what went down.
And I did evaluate based on content, I thought the other guys view was more informed.
I dont get it. Why would users of Linux be interested in replacing Windows? I am a user of Linux, I dont see any value in replacing Windows unless I want all the people to call me asking for help.
Now if a distribution wanted to undertake the task of replacing windows, then you can blame them for not being user-friendly, etc.
Yes. For the following reason: we're already destroying the earth. Keeping us around longer is just going to hasten our use of resources. So essentially we're decreasing the life of the earth's natural resources by increasing our own lives
They were introduced to help innovation but changed to help the bottom line somewhere. Thats why you should ask the innovators, not the bottom liners -- if thats a word, which its not.

Thats slightly off-topic to include into the article. I knew Turing was gay. Anyone who knows anything about Turing besides what you learn about Turing machines knows hes gay.
Its dumb to have to include sexual orientation when that clearly does not have any impact on the topic under discussion (innovators and thinkers).
Why wouldnt you just host your own mail? You can have 40 Gigs of mail storage with a dedicated box. And if you RAID it, well you'll never need to worry about losing it.
Or is it that they all accept deep down that MS has an interface that's hard to top?
MS has a market share that is hard to top. By making your desktop indistinguishable (as they indicated in the interview), you gain market share. When you gain market share, you gain power. When you gain power, you gain developer support. When you gain developer support, you gain market share and the cycle continues. Making the desktop look and feel like MS is just a bootstrapping mechanism.
When EA makes a port to Linux, you know the battle is being won. (I think this is the first segment that companies will go after, if they ever choose to go after the Linux desktop).
I hope that _none_ of these distros go the way of MS and decide to implement anything that is not portable between distributions. IMHO that would totally kill Linux on the desktop
At the 2004 WinHEC, Allchin demonstrated an alpha version of Longhorn that played six high-resolution videos at the same time while playing Quake III in the background.
After reading this post, I was compelled. On Redhat 9 2.4Ghz with 256 MB (yeah yeah, more ram. guess what I DONT NEED IT!), I ran 5 videos, azureus (if you dont know, thats a java prog thats a bitch on resources), xchat, evolution, xmms, gaim.
If you want a screenshot, I'll send you one.
What I'd like to know is what hardware the Longhorn demonstration used

Compare the /. ID's of the grandparent and parent, and you understand the difference in views :)
Sorry, but it sounds to me like Jobs realized that continuing development of OS9 would me more effort than it was worth.
I guess we should put Gates and his gang up because they realize that Windows needs to be rewritten every few years?
And it still sucks
When and if global overpopulation becomes a problem, we might have to find a solution.
I think its already a problem in many parts of the world.
Err no, the natural selection will just kill us all off after we have no water/air/ozone left. Then the earth will come alive again (maybe?)
Is it better to watch them die...
Yes. For the following reason: we're already destroying the earth. Keeping us around longer is just going to hasten our use of resources.

And its obvious to anyone who spends some time on /. that most companies use patents as weapons of mass monopolization.

Err with all the money the RIAA get from your grandma and your kid, they have more than enough money to license any such patented technology.
That _is_ cool. But why is it different from using X-windows?

IMHO of course
It would be funny if it was apache with the asp extension.

I'm wondering how many universities would still be so nice.
I see vapourware.

Holy shit 458!
HEY youre not supposed to benchmark any .NET stuff without telling Microsoft. Youre in deep shit now.
Wow. thats all I can say. thats retarded. Are they even bringing anything new to computing in general to warrant that my MOM have that hardware?
