Yes, Yes I know there are solutions to this gaping wound, but AFAIK all commercial. The sysadmins at my schools just put blinds over their eyes and hoped everyone would be too clueless to notice.
Congratulations on Slashdot finally taking notice of Syllable. I am a Linux user, but I find the Syllable concept refreshing and intriguing. And... so much more tinkering value:-).
Unless I am confused, VNC does not and never did base itself off of an X server. Yes - there is an X11 to--to VNC server, but thats about it. All the other servers (for other platforms) hook into whatever windowing system used.
Nowadays when people say VNC, they instantly think to one of the software flavors implementing the RFB protocol. Originally AT&T made the whole cute thing for... you guessed it.... thin clients with the whole protocol processed in hardware.
No offense, but looks like someone forget to RTFA. (No offense again, maybe you did).
You do bring up a VERY valid point. BUT - AtheOS has been around for a while as well as its successor Syllable, and all I see is progress, progress, progress.
These folks do seem to want to make a full-fledged, USEFUL OS - not just a pet project.
On the other hand - there is me - who is making a microkernel as a pet project to learn more about osdev and low-lever programming. Doesn't have a flashy website though... only the basic SF site.
Syllable has been intriguing me for a while now. I just might make a go for it.
Seriously everyone, get real - if those people don't want to help themselves, it doesn't matter how many philanthropists throw billions in food, medical, educational and technological help.
Look at Africa - its a humanitarian disaster. South Africa - Highest crime rate in the world. Zimbabwe, Sudan and many others no one ever hears about - ethnic persecution, humanitarian disasters, hate crimes, cannibalism, rape. Many do-gooders feel some craving to go over there and "do humanity some good", only to be assaulted, raped and horribly murdered. Is AIDS in Africa the result of the rest of the world not pouring enough cash into this/dev/null? I don't think so.
Hell, pour all of that money into something more tangible, like cancer/AIDS research or space exploration. The Earth is starting to overpopulate and the human race needs more space. Lets conquer the unknown!
As an AucTEX user (don't use/didn't like other tex emacs packages) its the overall integration with everything else TeX-like that make creating documents an enjoyable experience. Use BibTeX in your LaTeX doc? C-c C-c will take care of bibtex when you compile. C-C C-C again to View or Print.
I really don't think he absolutely HAD to flash-update a wireless music device, which probably sits on a private net behind NAT anyway...
Lets see - your computer dies during flash update of some device. Just about whose fault is that? The company is willing to replace the unit - you should be happy they didn't tell you to fuck off.
I know very well what binds are. In fact, I have to import my own cfg files each time I (unfortunately) have to reinstall, simply because otherwise it would take forever to change them all the way I like it.
No, I was too lazy to look up which commands the F1 and F2 are bound to by default, simply because I've got no beef with those binds.
Way to damn generalize everyone. "He is a CS player! He must be a clueless n00b who has no friggin' clue about the cogs behind the shiny graphics!"
Although AmigaOS is not UNIX-based, Amiga did release UNIX (also called A/UX, not to be confused with Apple's) which ran on machines like A3000U (and I think the A4000U). It came on a tape catridge.

I was more thinking of a patchwork of chips, sandwiched in-between two metal plates, for grounding and cooling purposes.
RTFA. Helix is non-intrusive, non-commercial, non-irritating, non-email-address-asking.

I took it upon myself to hand them the cluestick.
How the #@$@ is this offtopic? Parent asked whats so great aout LateXing stuff up under Emacs. I replied. Get a fucking clue.

About the Africa AIDS victim thing...
/dev/null? I don't think so.

Choice.
Integrating the connectix product into Windows would mean the death of VMWare, which is IMO a much more superior product.
Its about choice. Its about avoiding vendor lock-in.
Wow dude... you SO win (the short bus award). May I ask what grade you received in geometry?
Bullshit. I call publicity stunt.
"Oh no! Its an operating system that runs on the Pee Cee. It MUST be infringing on M$ Windblows."
Cue in jokes about studying the slashdot effect on grid computer...
But seriously, what can simulate a DDoS more accurately than a bazillion slashdotters trying to RTFA and get the slashdot fix?

Dumbass.
Really? How could you tell?
Maybe by the fact that this is a game where you respawn every 5 minutes?
Sheesh!
Up next - "Day of Defeat not an accurate portrayal of WWII through the eyes of a soldier."
F2 buys the same stuff that you bought on the previous round. F1 autobuys stuff.
Holy shit Jon, I've read up on that.
Apparently that 1337 dude died from exposure....
EXPOSURE!!
LOL!
Wow dude, you figured out his email!! So 1337!
Oh wait...

AmigaOS was not UNIX. It wasn't even UNIX-based. It was however an innovative design nontheless, with a message-passing microkernel.
That would be true if Slashdot used CSS.
Link to the unregistered article or just paste the text?
Seriously.
Is My g0d by any chance related to myg0t?
