I just ran a currency conversion between $7.00 and it's equivalent in £ Sterling.
It came out at £3.83. My job at McDonalds in England pays me £4.59/hour. When someone at McDonalds is getting paid more than the line of work you're doing, you know moving on is the bst idea.
I'm trying to think of the long-term implications of having a space-port. You have noise pollution, traffic problems, and money that the populace argues would be better spent elsewhere, say, Africa, or Brixton, UK.
The commercial opportunities must far outweigh those potential problems.
I'm being quite serious, in that Microsoft seem to keep getting sued left, right, and center, all through the bundling of software products within its operating system.
It feels like some companies are jumping on the bandwagon, knowing they'll get a settlement.
Now, call me crazy, but why don't the Linux Kernel Development Team use something like SVN, to do changes like this?
You have 'trunk'. Freely Editable by Devs, and the place for new features to be written.
You then have a 'branch'. Say Linus wants an RC-1 of Trunk. he'd just copy across Trunk to an RC1 branch, let everyone make fixes to it, and then backport the fixes to the Trunk. This gives a more stable approach ro "Feature/Code Freeze".
Or am I right in assuming the Kernel is too large a portion of Software to be developed like this?
ReactOS is still Alpha Software, and as such, is incorporating elements from later Windows NT iterations. Some Winsock 2 API's have already been implemented, that came in Windows XP. Even some Windows 2003 Functionality, like Guarded Mutex, is present.
0.2.7 shipped with a 2 major bugs that have been largely fixed (touch wood)... 0.2.8 is due out in a few weeks, with 0.2.8 RC1 already out on their Sourceforge Page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/reactos).
Once it's got the NT4-esque layout, it's then easier to play catchup to the later versions.
Problem arises with a Variable. Batteries you just plug in, and go. Fuel Cells you refill? Half the public would be clueless. Some might even drink this fuel, or use it for their car.

After all, only Men can have a Wii standing up.
I just checked the image. On the reference ACID 2 Screenshot, the nose is rendered in Black. On the Opera 9.00 Screenshot, it is rendered blue.
99% maybe, but it's clearly not 100% compliant with ACID2.
Firefox baseline Theme is sparton on Windows. Now, the guys that made the Noia Theme.... Now that's a nice-looking UI.
Correct. Closest for me is Florida so far.

Sony's UMD already uses standard Red-Ray DVD Technology, so it wouldn't surprise me if UMD's became BD-UMD's in the next few years.
That actually wasn't supposed to be a Troll Post

Is it me, or is everywhere I turn a lawsuit against Microsoft, in some form?
Seriously, I'm sick and tired of seeing people rapping pn Ubuntu, because of "Oh N0es, It's teh GNOME UI"
Jesus, Folks, there is a reason why we have Kbuntu. If you like KDE that much, no-one is forcing you to use GNOME.
Unless you count the money gained by Ad revenue. Or people actually handing $$$ over for Viagra, from a spam email.
To me, it looks like a Fat Guy, with two penises, weraing two belts kriss-krossed on his beer belly, with one gigantic manboob.

Using RealMedia to stream this? What's so hard about linking to an MP3, and let us feel free to listen to it at our leisure?
"OpenSourceEnergy?"
Don't tell me Companies like Microsoft and IBM have had a monopoly on power... well, yay, to the Open-Source Energy people. Make Energy Free!
I get an Error when using Firefox.
On topic, I'm wondering how well an OS written in C# would do, if released.
They did. They're called "Tachyons".
Or it's the janitor's room, hell I don't fuckin' know.
Small Correction: It's 0.2.7, not 2.7.

Replica? Almost. ReactOS is designed to be compatible, first-off, with Windows NT 4.0.
Networking is the next big leap for the 0.3.0 ReactOS Release. Some parts work quite well already.
They've buttered up the 2.0 release, though.
He's probably a Neowin reader.

Yup, dreaming. The real nerds use Limewire, where no credit isn't an issue!
If it weren't for them, would RIAA really waste all that money to DRM all my content?
Yes, because DRM = More Money. Money = Capitalism.
The RIAA isn't the only one pushing DRM. Intel's East Fork, and Microsoft's Vista, anyone?
