what if a linux vender started releasing hardware started releasing something that was truly unique (other than price)? so that rules everything here , we would have a better tablet than the iPad that was open too. Apple made the iPad because they wanted to make a cool device that was a joy to use. every body else made a tablet to compete with the iPad: with that goal, there's no way you can compete. Its like what Linus said about SVN vs Git, "svn said they wanted to make a better cvs and you can't get anywhere with that" Finally I'll refer you to Eric Raymond's points about letting others waste time copying while you get ahead innovating. Linux has a lot of innovations in the server aria (kexec, kvm), I can't think of any on the desktop and none on the personal device aria. This is no coincidence. Linux also happens to do well when invisible (like Televisions, something else you cant reprogram) OSX on the iPad is invisible, if FSF can innovate in this aria (or somewhere else) while maintaining its invisibility. Note how Androide maintains invisibility while MeeGo doesn't. see which is more invisible.
they are so informative now that the KernelTrap isn't updating regularly... AHEM! *cough! *cough! there is some reorganization of linux graphics and networking that needs to be updated. (or has linux networking changed sense 2005
You are missing that the Cocoa runtime is not quite similar enough to GNUStep to make porting that easy. You dont want to make GNUStep a dependancy to make your game run on linux. On the other hand, you probibly won't bother with Cocoa to make a game on Mac anyway. DX and OpenGL were made so you dont have to deal with the operating system API. For example you might want to make a game with QT but KDE has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it for desktop integration. Cocoa has stuff in it for desktop integration. What many do is make a Cocoa wrapper for all the stuff that's Mac Specific and then use C/C++ for everything else. Look at Nexuiz and SDL.
screencap lol, sure whatever but was the insult necessary? from the host side, How do you know what host is making which requests? how do you a screen capture programmaticly? I'm just curious. No need call me ignorant, i know, thats why I'm asking
BTW, native complex number vector operations would be nice.
how do you suppose we represent that in memory? Would you like to submit one to the IEEE or shale they just be the only ones using it? The field of complex numbers is closed anyway (going for a pun, not sure what it is)
also from the "there can only be one" department, all those stupid android phones should standardize on one UI implimentation, the linux Tablet makers should stick to one UI implementation per spec (internet tablet, productivity tablet) so we dont confuse the poor users on the systems. all this duplication of effort was stupid anyway. There's evolution and then there's Me-Too, which one was this? The reason why apple beats windows is because they make both hardware and software. Nokia could have put their linux on the netbook they made and it could have competed with the MacBook air, but no, they put windows on it where they have no control. The only thing wrong with apple laptops is their broken stupid bios, (some have virtualization disabled.) otherwise you can load whatever. Now someone can make a tablet just as beautifull and by virtue of choice more powerfull by loading it with MeeGo for shipping and allowing anyone to put anything else on it at void of warrente.
I work in the ITS of my university and whenever the faculty and staff using macs consider or even hear about management apps like puppit or how if they have a PC they MUST install (novell) zen they cringe. They HATE the idea of the IT department invading their computer because their PC(Linux, Mac or Windows ) still feels personal. Even the sub-departments of our IT infrastructure HATE it when our the central sysadmins push updates to computers without telling the departmental support teams.
I don't remember all the stories about the government during the bush administration reading Bush's X it was the Bush administration's X. Just because Most people actually like him instead of hate him doesn't mean bash him harder, or that every thing's his fault.
you should have alternated the alternatives, like they did in the original article, for maximum effect. Then we can see the close comparison of Overlord 2 over L4D or Battlefield over COD
however interesting this is, there was another slashdot story of a video of SSBB played in 1080p. That was news. (this story is more salt in a cut that is the powerPC let go. do you know how much faster this would go if it was virtualized instead of emulated! the wii has a PPC in it
he probibly ran into missing documentation on the stuff he wants. Among Open Source projects, this is often what seperates Django from Rails ... click on the links to see which one I think is better, or make your own judgment call.

Slashdot Mirror
woops almost but not quite
took'em long enough
is it my imagination or has this been reviewed on slashdot before?
isnt' this more like linux orthodoxy. Say, ascetic (Hasidim)?
AWSOME comeback, just because our article selection process is susceptible to social engineering doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything about it.

sense when did IBM care so much about Linux?

ahem DDR3
Plugable space ships? We're one step closer to Homeworld 2 like space exploration

THANK YOU!!! I tell my parents this every month

Indeed, this would only fly on the iPhone

Ok, I should have replied to parent. (I forgot what that stood for, now that I remember, it was indeed funny)

I suggest you no longer waste your time explaining your jokes to those with wet blankets with sense of humor or no wits in general.
