The one issue with your argument is that you assume the iPhone will be closed. In reality, very few people outside of a certain fruit company in California know whether or not the iPhone will be closed-up or reasonably secure against outside development (like a.tv isin't). If the iPhone is open to developers, odds are VERY strong that we'll be using ObjC and Cocoa to develop for it. I've only heard things, but I've heard Cocoa is a very solid platform to develop things on (experienced OSX/*step developer's comments welcome).
TextMate: use vim:) (everyone has their favorite editor) Quicksilver: gnome-deskbar (gnome, default in feisty, default shortcut is alt+f3), katapult (kde, default in feisty, shortcut is alt+space), launchy (windows)
You can put launchers just about anywhere in Ubuntu too. Drag an entry from the App menu, and drop it somewhere else (on the panels, on the desktop, etc.)
Unfortunatley, my Feisty system is torched (hardware-wise), so I can't say for sure, but I think you could just create a launcher for gksudo in the panel, then drag the menu entries onto that launcher to run as root
There is something on the Ubuntu wiki r tualization> you might be intrested in. In a nutshell what happens is you set up XP in QEMU (a OSS program similar to VMWare), and then use RDesktop to run XP apps on your Ubuntu desktop seamlessly. If you want some help, message me on irc.freenode.net (my nick is ConstyXIV) and I'll try to walk you through
"They want to open up a market for their own products" You DO realize we are talking about China here, the country that hasn't sold over 300 legit copies of Windows Vista yet, right?
If you mean the DS just automagically picking up APs on it's own without user intervention, it doesn't. Just tested it, and you have to go to the DS's wifi setup menu, then scan for an AP and pick it out yourself.
If you go to scummvm's website (coral cache'd to pass your filter), you'll see that it does both Day of the Tentacle and Maniac Mansion work in scummvm. And, once again, this is GCN homebrew, which happens to work on the Wii
Since it's GCN homebrew, you can't use the Wii hardware, which means no pointer support (which would be the only reason I would want it). Calling it Wii homebrew when it runs in Gamecube mode is just wrong
"Anyone recall separate independent email systems before one unified email standard?" That's what Jabber was created for. The Gai[esc]dw[i]Pidgin/Kopete/Miranda/Trillian split is mostly because they're designed for different platforms. Pidgin is GTK+(and GNOME by extension, though I run it on Windows), Kopete is KDE, Miranda is Windows, and Trillian needs to drop off the face of the earth (kidding, it's Windows, but proprietary, not much better than Gaim, and bloated to hell:)
You do realize there already is a GCN (first, best console version), PS2 (not near as good-looking, with some extras), and PC (as Biohazxard 4, not in the states yet, some better textures to accomodate higher-res screens) version of RE4, and this is just a re-tuning of the GC version for the Wiimote, probably with some of the better visuals from the PC version, hence the $30 price tag. If you want it on your PS3., go buy the PS2 version for 15-20 bucks.
Get an ezflashV+expansion pak($60+uSD card), the Nintendo DS Browser (Opera, $35 on shelves, or obtained otherwise, runs on the EZV), ndsmail (homebrew), dsaim, dslinux(telnet/ssh, and lynx while youre at it), and dsorganize (IRC)
And you can transcode the AAC files into $FORMAT_OF_CHOICE, and still retain most of the quality, and more then if you broke FairPlay'd songs (at a lower bitrate) and converted that to mp3
The hack is legal because he just modified the kernel, like the ASPL lets you. However, note the little bit in the OSX license that says you may only run OSX on Apple hardware. The A.TV is still Apple hardware. Your Dell isin't.
I just saw this story: "How Microsoft can make the Zune a Success" And right below it: "Dvorak to Apple: Stop the iPhone" Logically, you would need to s/Microsoft/Apple, s/Zune/iPhone, s/Apple/Microsoft, s/iPhone/Zune to have proper Slashdot-conforming headlines
Technically, you could replace MFC and System.Windows.Forms with symlinks (yes, Vista does symlinks) to libqt, but that would break Windows. I would not reccomend trying
Yes, everything still works. If you've tried blackbox for windows, GeOShell, or Litestep, you'll notice everything still works. What would KDE make different about that? It's not like it goes off and assinates MFC and SWF.NET to replace them with libqt

How about we just write a MUD in LSL? (which I believe is based on Mono C#, so it couldn't be too terribly hard)

Oops, bad wording on my part. That phrase should have been:
GTK+(and happens to play really nice with GNOME...

You do realize the article was about quake3 based games, instead of heavily modified Quake1/2 engines?

You want Lost|Magic. It's a fantasy RTSPG, about as close as you're going to get at the moment.

Or...
You could wait till a disk image of the hacked A.TV shows up on the seedy underbelly of the Internet.

As sister posts have mentioned, QT was not GPL on windows til QT4
Also, quite a few chunks of KDE relied on X11, so that was the other issue.
