That would be 'slaughter 30 million end-users,' to properly frame the context of the grandparent's comment. After killing off the developer elite who made the revolution and establishing a dictatorship.
Read some history. The History Channel won't suffice.
In fact, Open Source can contaminate a community and make it more difficult for people to re-implement a program. For instance, IBM published the commented source code for the IBM-PC BIOS in the Technical Reference Manual, which anybody could purchase and read. And many interested parties DID read it. All of whom thus became 'tainted' individuals who Phoenix couldn't hire to code their clean-room reimplementation.
WINE won't run on non x86 hardware. Maybe if you installed BOCHS and then Linux and then Wine ontop of whatever hardware being discussed (Perhaps a Mac SE/30 running NetBSD?)
Indeed. This sort of hacking is really the only reason I would be interested in owning an iPod.
I didn't get a DVD player until I had video capture hardware and needed something to play back VCDs on the TV with. (I didn't buy a television set bigger than my 3" LCD TV until then, either). (Of course, the real, most deeply nested goal was converting my aging off-the-air VHS tapes of The Prisoner converted before they became unplayable)
Nope. The case against IBM didn't result in IBM being 'punished' in any of the colorful ways that people suggest Microsoft be punished.
IBM couldn't market OS/2 because they were in the PC hardware business. With the royalties they wanted for each copy of OS/2 bundled, PC clone makers would often be giving more money to their competitor in the hardware business (IBM) than they would make themselves. Not a good way to compete in the hardware market. It was much more attractive to bundle Microsoft software, because MS wasn't a competitor.
Learning how to be the perfect consumer by earning and spending the maximum amount of money possible isn't necessarily choosing to do something with your life in any way that a lot of us are going to respect.
Shouldn't you be over there nosing the button for some more pellets, dude? There's a productivity curve to for you to fit onto the high end of...
Slashdot Mirror
Read up on Shay's Rebellion, dude.
Read it thoroughly, and with an open mind.

backs???
Seriously, what does OSI even do?
Until recently, it nominally kept ESR off the street...

It has become a well known term; a trademark if even I may say.
Uh, no. Saying something is a Trademark is legal terminology.
Are you going to be this reckless in your terminology in your official capacity?
People used "open source" before us, but we made it stick.
Nice hand-waving act, dude.
Watch out. You're already slipping...
So they're doing it "for" us and "as a service" to us.
Well, gee, thanks, guys.
Didn't the 'Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval' used to mean something, too?
So you're saying you are not a big fan of the 'Your Rites Online' topic area where they discuss Eric Raymond's neopaganism and it's ramifications on the Church of All Worlds?
The hardware should always do exactly what the Hacker wants it to do, so long as it's physically possible.
Are you new here??
You're just making it more attractive for me to flash some plastic at the Apple Store, ya know...

And presumably, you could play your iPod music on Linux and *BSD desktops. Seems like a cool and worthy goal.
The 'program' people might want to play on an emulated device would be that 'software' that makes music come out the headphone jack.
Huh?
Same performance?
Perhaps for certain tasks, i.e. possibly certain 'ivory tower' computational benchmarks.
What I'm trying to get across is that the design was for looks, not utility, and the design suffered for it.
Whoops. Now look what you've done. You've revealed an Apple Trade Secret in an online forum.
Better hire a lawyer.
heh

I bought a 1970 Chevrolet C10 Pickup Truck at an auction last Saturday. It has no electronics. It has some 'electrics' but no electronics.
There isn't a single thing needed to keep it running that I can't buy at a regular auto parts store.
There's a male attachment, too.
Dogs have more fun when they catch one, and are generally inclined to take a break, thus giving you a break too.
Not our puppy. If you threw him a 'Burger King' frisbee, or any food at all, he inhales it whole and kicks into overdrive going for more.
Let what die, dude? And why?
Nope. The case against IBM didn't result in IBM being 'punished' in any of the colorful ways that people suggest Microsoft be punished.

Well, you'll just have to wait.
(I'm typing this in Mozilla on NetBSD/i386, but your comment begged a response)
Actually, Mac power cords are traditionally beige, instead of black.
This is, of course, a beige-era phenomenon. Long live the SE/30!!
