If they opened the source and it was GPL compatible, they'd be able to harness all of the platforms Linux already supports and they'd be able to coordinate the companies that produced BeOS software in fact they might just challenge the Gnome Foundation and KDE League in a good old capitalistic contest to see who can the most ass.
>You are insane. The mouse is a higher form of input than a button.
I beg to differ. The mouse epands everything to dozens of minute actions that must be performed in sequence to perform the smallest task. It's horrible. Foolproof, but horrid.
3D sacrifices interactivity for realism.
Nuff said.
Where are the handpainted games? Show me a video card that can paint a sketch using a Postscript style language of brushstrokes.
Get the mouse away from the games. Mouse bad, except for fire and run and strafe.
Make a pick up pad. Show me a bunch of objects that I can pick up from a pad so I don't have to fill my screen with stuff. Even perhaps to send my inventory to a PDA.
Get a little pool together where people use resources to study the invention they want to build and have a contest. 100 winners get 1/3 of the pot, 1/3 goes to running the school, and one 1/3 to resources for inventors.
Now if we all did that and then threw names into a hat then more cvilians could see space.
Hmm...
Send a hungry child into space give your Christian Children's Fund money to NASA.
At least that will result in CCF building fewer exercise gyms for employees. If CCF bothered to at least fix some of the POLITICS that are causing hunger, I'd feel different.
Oh no I went offtopic. Oh who cares... Bottom line: let's get off this rock already.
Please READ, don't skim the article and then fill in the blanks like most assholes do.
<Homer> Uh, 10,000 licenses check, Microsoft check, license problem check...

Answer: If ya don't like the --beer-- license don't use the -- big ass belch -- software </Homer>
Uh no try again.
It wasn't at all about the 10,000 licenses. That was just a stupid detail that the writer put in because it's standard practice to put in stupid details just like it's standard practice to put in stupid clip art in newcast. The question is what you're allowed to do with those 10,000 copies.
And Alaska Airlines wanted people to be able to reach those 10,000 copies over a network.
Are you going to charge me for a license because my ISP uses NT?
I don't get this crap about not being able to use software over networks. It's a necessity in many environments nowadays.
If I have two joysticks for a game I can play it with two people in the room but I can't serve the game to players over a network.
Or I can use two joysticks for a game but I can't use use two keyboards for one computer, much less a network.
What about using VNC?
Anyways good bye cruel PC. I'm going Amiga and I'll stick to making music and demos. This is getting ridiculous.
Because of that omnipotent science of genetics?
Give me a fucking break.
Genetics is a dead end. Proteonics is the future. Genetics is to proteonics in biology as atoms are to gears in a machine. Which ones do you think are more useful to study?
Pride is a powerful tool for raising a living breathing human being, assuming the parents have any pride in themselves.
Oh well, Machines will start behaving like humans as we evolve them, and maybe then teenagers will shoot mechanical students designed to teach kids how to behave. I can't wait.
They go into a tizzy at even the mildest attempt to prevent children from being used for pornography on the internet and say write half the western hemisphere in protest.
That is because it can't be prevented by brute force. And I don't mean brute as in professional wrestler. I'm referring to that simplistic irrational utopian purism characteristic of modern day victims turned into idiots. Any attempt to prevent the impossible by brute force thinking is guaranteed to cause harm by definition. That's why the courts care whether a law is enforceable or not.
It always goes like this:
1. Criminal commits crime.
2. Victims try to restrict criminals.
3. Total restriction is impossible.
4. Therefore victims will never be satisfied.
5. Politician responds to to eternally unsatisfied victim's concerns.
6. Politician must take serious actions because victims are extremely unsatisfied beyond reason.
7. Non criminals get hurt.
8. Victims are reduced to irate idiots who don't care about the rest of the world around them.
9. Politician stays in power.
10. Criminals remain unrestricted. Go to step 1.

We can't print this story without paying KDE.
Maybe they just want enough money to sue Apple long enough to keep the Aqua themes.

In which case they would be profitable.
Just imagine Debian/BeOS... "dr00l"

Also put donations into the pool.
