Considering how much Photoshop is used by mac users (I use gimp however, because I'm cheap) I would assume they're hard at work on it with Apple's devkits.
None of the OSX code is running in Roseta. Old PPC binaries for apps that haven't been ported yet is running in Roseta. Photoshop I would have to imagine will work on the release date, or near it.
Yes, exactly. Quality products, made by quality companies, who pay their employee's good money and buy better raw materials can indeed have commercials. By not buying a product becase it had an ad, and for no other reason, your just as mindless.
Uh, did you even read the summary? The bounty is for a driver and open source tcp/ip stack, not an online game. So unless Nintendo releases MarioKartDS as opensource...
Alot of collision stuff is kept on the server (obviously not all, it would take too much space) for cheat detection purposes etc.
Honestly, what bothers you about them knowing if you watched an ad? It's not like they're going to put a notice up on their site saying "DarkMage4773_34 has just watched an ad for a chic flick, everyone point and laugh!" How is it an invasion of privacy? Your not even singled out, its just saying "okay, add one to the count of views for this ad." Does it bother you that much?
I hear they're taking out the motherboard to make room for 'em
Honestly, the mac mini is just barely long enough to fit one, let alone anything else (i.e. the vents) I'm comparing it right now.

Why FreeBSD

Yes, because the user space is unimportant and doesn't qualify as guts...
The Darwain kernel, xnu, does have some BSD, mixed with mach, mixed with Apple's own stuff, all duct-taped together and encased in shiny white plastic.
Funny that you people like you wouldn't say anything if the thing ran FreeBSD. Just because you don't run OSX, don't care about Apple or anything related, doesn't mean other people don't. I admit some of the/. Apple stories are crap, but this one is good. If you have a problem with Apple stories on/., go to your prefrences and turn 'em off. Slashdot wasn't made specifically for you. God I hate "How is this news for nerds?" posts./.'s new slogan should be "News, and if you disagree then shut the fuck up because its free"
OSX is more than Aqua. It's based of the BSD kernel, and you can run said kernel by itself, without Aqua. Why the hell would they include Aqua in the car? (Unless there somekind of embedded computer display or soemthing)
Normally whenever Microsoft wants to extinguish the competition, it would port its software to just about any platform imaginable.
IE had to come from nowhere and steal all the marketshare from netscape. They don't face that situation anymore, because they more or less control the marketshare.
First of all, your post and sig don't match, a real FreeBSD user (if any exist..) wouldn't use NT.
Soeey, couldn't resist.
The reason, presumably, that MS isn't backporting it is because it relys on features of XP. Tough luck for OSes that don't have those features. It costs them money to backport it to the million and a half older windows versions. If they can get a few people/companies to switch to XP (remember, they arent paying for the legacy OSes anymore) then hurray. People aren't spending 100$+ for "just a browser", theyre paying it for a new OS. I'm an OSX user, but I'll admit that XP is at least a great improvment over their past OSes.
The thing that really bugged me about your post was the topic. If MS is so dumb, and you've got it figured out, then why does Bill Gates have more money then you? You lose.
Urm, except Microsofts software has gotten consistantly less stable, slower and worse security wise as time goes on, and Apple's done the opposite. Apple didn't ditch their backwards compatibility with OSX, thats why theres the OS9 layer. Adding unix to MacOS essentially made it even more backward compatible, since now it can run bsd and linux apps no problem. They even have the Carbon API, which helps (or helped) people to port OS9 apps to OSX.
And uh, okay, IE7 not running on 9x isn't an issue of backwards compatibilty, its an issue of backporting. Your argument about running 3.1 apps on XP is backwards, the point is running an XP app on something less than XP, like 9x etc.
Yes, because all potential customers of opensource software check roadmaps for software, and wait until the newest versions come out to buy it. My mom decided not to switch to firefox a few days ago because of the slashdot article - which she of course read, since slashdot *is* her homepage - about the versioning changes.

OSX is unix. 'nuff said.
OSX is unix, buddy.
The "security" frim websense is actually a censorship firm. For examples of their work, you can read maddox's little article on them.
So in other words it breaks hacks. What was the point of your post?
Same as the root word, own, but you pretend your saying it with a p.
Wait, things are much more responsive on their proffesional desktop line than their consumer laptops???!!!
Pass the joint, steve.
You do know that the 512mb was like a 70$ BTO option before?

Um, the GPL doesn't restrict the end user more, it restricts (if thats what you want to call it) people developing and extending the software.
No, its what they told us WOULD be possible.

Wow, good idea, why hasn't anyone thought of that?
There has to be a driver written in ndslib before any tcp/ip stack can be written. Jeez read the summary.

The point was that Longhorn (or vista, whatever) is supposed to be the first MS competition for Tiger.

Thats not a bug, its intentional. You actually thought that windows compiles?
Dude, your missing the point. You tack 64 on the end of all the apps, then prefix it with 'super'
Super Notepad 64
Super Solitare 64
Super NortonAntiVirus 64
It sells itself! Just think, the Nintendo64 wasn't really 64bit, so it doesn't matter if it gets a 32bit version, people believe anything!
