you dont need source to see the dependancies of closed applications... you need depends.exe, a single application that resolves all the depends of a binary for you...
right now, im running windows vista sp1 ultimate and gentoo 2008.0, booting via grub (chainloader for vista) and it works perfectly well... why hasnt the information in this article been checked for that thing called... the truth?
are there still all the blockers when installing anything of any use? the sort of blocker that doesnt tell you when you run an emerge -pv and when you run the actual emerge to build and install a large package and all its depends and leave the room for a while (assuming that the full process may take a hour or so) and when you come back, the emerge broke on the second package.
did any of you write os/2? no... did any of you pay for os/2's development? no... so who do any of you think you are to demand the release of its source? rather than demanding source code for closed applications, go outside, and realise there is a real world where people couldnt care less about things like this. there are more important things than wether something that has been long since dead is forced to be open source or not. just let it go.
yet again with fake stats made up by someone to get 15 mins on slashdot... and the only reason this was posted on slashdot is because of the dig at microsoft... seems easier and easier to get on slashdot these days, just aim your hate in a constructive way towards microsoft, and your published... post an actual story, rejected.
this is the problem with open source, the fake "we care about freedom" crap. when infact, its all hidden communism, trying to force people to switch in new creative ways, just because you think they should.
there is another way to go about this, leave people alone, and allow them to live their lives. and stop forcing open source on them. just because you can see the source, doesnt make it good, and nobody apart from developers care. and being able to see the source doesnt make it open or free (GPL isnt a free licence if you actualy read it, and contradicts its self, thus invalidating its self).
wouldnt this leave them far more open to forms of terrorism? i.e. if these floating data centers hosted say, all the websites that godaddy.com host (which is alot), and someone "cut the cable" which would be alot easier to find on a ship, since it has to come out of the ship somewhere... all these websites would instantly go online, where in a building, the cable would come in, underground, directly into the rooms the data center occupies. ships are easier to sink that buildings are to destroy. if the ships use wireless rather than wired, there would need to be a large antenna on the ship, which would: 1. be a target for everyone 2. allow people to intercept any connection.
in school, college, work... any place like that, you do as you are asked. otherwise, its trouble. installing programs onto a networked computer that arnt authorised to be on their is a one way ticket to bad times.
time is only there, as it is, because we measure it. one event in relation to another. a car crash, time may feel like its slowed down because of your seeing that few seconds as a major event, so it seems longer, and grander. where, for someone on the outside, who it doesnt directly affect, it only lasts for a second or two.
there are a few misleading points in the article. 1. it doesnt AUTOMATICALY install with auto updates, or windows updates, it is in the optional software section of windows updates, thus does not come via automatic updates at all, and in windows updates you have to manualy select it. 2. you are prompted before install 3. once installed, it does not automaticaly start indexing everything in C, it promts you and asks what you would like to be indexed, and when/how.
a single open platform will kill the technology. competition is the reason technology advances. if there is no need to better the other guy, there is no need to rush to create better technology than them.
bungie arnt LEAVING microsoft, microsoft will continue to own and own the right too bungie, but bungie will now be free to do their own projects outside of halo.
"we cant tell the difference between a dead bit of PCB and a real bomb, so because of our mistake, which we will never admit, you now have $750 less than you did yesterday and you now have 'suspected terrorist' on your record.... but your lucky really, we where going to shoot you"
this is a little bias, and the whole story isnt presented... microsoft, msn, and other such words cannot be used... and all cannot be used for a valid reason. so people cannot use live to bicker over ms vs. the world. live is a service that people enjoy, because none of this goes on there.
does this affect anyone who wants to use a camara in public? or does it only affect professional photographers? ie, photographers for news papers and such
isnt it weird that the linux fanboys claim that xp crashes alot, and the xp fanboys never say anything about linux because they couldnt care less..
allow me to say something as a BSD user... linux crashed for me far more than xp did, and xp only ever crashed once, and that was my fault, but since BSD is by far the most powerfull OS of the 3... this is where i lie for now.
this isnt a flame, or a troll, this is the truth, which you can go to any non-fanboy site, and find out for your self.
GUI in linux is slow... face it.. its true... GUI in linux is klunky... GUI in linux isnt centralised around 1 goal.. you have several parties all throwing in their 2 pence. GUI in linux isnt intuitive. (it is more so than it was, but still not enough).
Linux as a kernel is slower than NT and BSD as kernels. Linux, untill recently, was terrible at scheduling. Linux is still terrible at threading.
all these combined together, mean for a bad experiance that your average joe user (nobody on slashdot can relate to average joe, since if you read slashdot, you are not average joe), which will leave them frustrated and anoyed that they cant use the system they paid alot of money for.
the big reason behind no X07 is the fact that there is no point paying to set up something like this, when others do it for you. ie E3 just gone, and the TGS (Tokyo Game Show) coming up shortly...

it took adobe longer than i thought it would do do this, as this was one of the core functionalities of MS Silverlight.
would it be possible to counter-act the download count by trying to upload the installer back to the server?
i wonder if al gore will make a movie out of this, and how he will blame it on everyone else.

jamming wireless signals? typical slashdot "lets hate microsoft and use all the FUD possible as truth" story

the easy thing to do, is to just spell things correctly in the first place.
