Actually, I'm running Debian and using a 64-bit browser and watching flash videos with the official 32-bit plugin. You just need to get a wrapper for the 32-bit flash plugin.
I'm a little confused by Gates's comment. So does that mean it was a DOS issue that there was a 640K limit? I remember writing a DOS-based asteroids game in mode X, and the video card was addressed in the 64K space starting at address $A000. Whether the mode was changed via bios or vga registers, the buffer was always addressed starting at $A000. So what does he mean by saying that he laid out the memory like that?
Most CDs have about 10-19 songs and range in price from $10-$15 (at least the mainstream ones). That works out to usually $0.99 a song. The last album I bought was Timbaland: Shock Value. 17 good songs for $12.
Haha! Next you're going to tell us that Apple has an in-house x86 version of OS X which they use as a sanity check for their code. I'm not falling for that one again...
And please, drop an occasional detail why you think I'm wrong. All this weak ad hominem criticism just makes me more likely to get sloppy. I really need the competition, just like Microsoft.
Weak ad hominem? Please. Just look at the images on the site: here, here among others. Also most of the site paints MS in a bad light no matter what they do and paints Apple in a good light no matter what they do. I mean, where are the articles critical of Apple? Not faux critical, but really critical?

I call bullshit. Programs compiled with GCC can have any license the programmer wants! Hell, the *BSD people use GCC to compile programs that have a BSD license.
So they moved from UNIX to Linux

And who wins? HP of course. Who loses? Sun. Now if they had switched to/from Windows, then it'd be big news. As it is, it's not that big of a deal since Linux is in plenty of mission critical systems. The hospital I used to work at had Linux machines controlling their linear accelerators in radiation oncology.
Apple's "openness" doesn't threaten Linux in the least. The entirety of Mac OS X cannot be legally run on anything but "Apple-labeled" hardware (go read the EULA, that's what they call it). So that leaves the Darwin core. Now, tell me who exactly is routinely running Darwin without Aqua?
You're missing the years prior to open firmware when it was quite impossible to install another operating system without having Mac OS installed first.
No. Only the Intel version is certified. The PowerPC version is not certified. But then, UNIX certification doesn't really mean much anymore (if it ever did). It just means you've been able to pass a series of test suites and paid some money.
This Unix certification seems to only apply to one particular compilation of the OS. Apple only did this for Mac OS X 10.5 for the Intel version of their OS, not the PPC version. I'm not quite sure whether subsequent updates to the software invalidate this though. See here
While we're at it, why don't they unbundle the TCP/IP stack? There used to be a thriving TCP/IP stack business before MS bundled one with their operating system. And let's have them unbundle Solitaire because who wants to play any other solitaire game?

Indeed. I can't wait to play Duke Nukem Forever on my new GNU/HURD system...

No, it'll be held in the virtual world and the shareholders will be kicking rocks around.
You mean like this???
So will the anti-abortionists oppose this because the technology could potentially turn anything into a viable human?

How do you know it's not malicious? Being open source doesn't necessarily mean the right people are looking.

Hmmm... if money was an issue, you should take a look at Guild Wars: pay for the game, but there's no monthly fee.

Wouldn't this make the networking equipment more prone to attacks?

Uh, a roughlydrafted.com article? Hmmm, there's absolutely no MS bias, no siree.
That's why they didn't have the revolution back then...
That's fine, they've captured the attention of the other 90% of the US population. Personally, I also have better things to do as well.
