The Developer Transition Kit is available starting today for $999 to all Apple Developer Connection Select and Premier members. Further information for Apple Developer Connection members is available at developer.apple.com. Intel plans to provide industry leading development tools support for Apple later this year, including the Intel C/C++ Compiler for Apple, Intel Fortran Compiler for Apple, Intel Math Kernel Libraries for Apple and Intel Integrated Performance Primitives for Apple.
So not only has Apple dumped IBM, they also appear to be planning to dump gcc.
So lets say Microsoft are successful in implementing a fantastic new system that makes using 911 from any computer trivial and much faster than using the phone. Would they let non-IE users in? If I run Mozilla, will I be locked out? What if I dare to install and use a (gasp) non-Microsoft operating system on my device?
Don't get me wrong, the Canadian system is not perfect by any stretch, but Americans who deride it in favor of the status quo usually don't seem very nuanced about their opposition to it.
Specifically, I don't really understand why you have no qualms about trusting the health of "all of us" to the thriftiness of say Merck Pharmaceuticals, or the ethical standards of Enron or the public transparency of Dow Chemical?
I am looking for a new laptop to run Linux on. How does the PowerBook compare to, say, a Thinkpad when it comes to hardware support? Right now I have a Thinkpad T21 and it is absolutely fantastic with Linux. Except for the modem (which I don't use) it is more functional under Linux than it is under Windows. If I get a PowerBook, would I have to use Apple's OS to take advantage of the hardware or do the PowerPC distributions have good support for the built in hardware? Also, how hard is it to swap hard drives on a PowerBook? And finally, what is Apple's attitude towards Linux users, do they cut off all support for the hardware if you don't use their OS?
That's interesting. On my machine I find that IE loads itself up faster, but Mozilla loads web pages faster. Given the fact that I spend 8 hours a day in front of my computer and I usually only need to open the web browser once, I take advantage of Mozilla's speed in loading pages more often than IE speed in loading itself.
This is all excellent news. It means developers will only have to target Linux and not Solaris or Mac OS X in order to reach the largest number of users.
Linux users need to decide what their operating system is all about. Is it about freedom and doing it your way, or is it all about sales and making money?
No we don't. The beauty of open source is that it can be about anything anyone wants it to. Some distros can concentrate on marketshare and some distros can focus on being Free and some can worry about being "the latest and greatest" and some can try to be wickedly fast, and some can concern themselves with being very similar to Unix, etc etc etc. Choice is a beautiful thing. Embrace it.
I think it is fabulous that the kernel developers are breaking from "tradition" and trying things out differently. This is, fundamentally, one of the biggest benefits of the Open Source model. It is not tied to a hard and fast release process or schedule. Developers can try different stuff and figure out what works for them.
If this change produces better code, I doubt we'll here much more complaining. If it ends up making things worse, we'll have another data point to use for future work. Progress cannot be made without occasional mistakes, so they can try something else.
Fluxbox is theoretically a good solution, but I found it had a lot of bugs the last time I tried it (probably over a year ago). Has it gotten any better recently?
Slashdot Mirror
If someone like that worked for me and I heard him say that, he'd be fired on the spot.
Why not buy both? The competition is keeping the market quite exciting.
I put that in there to see if you were watching. Thanks for confirming that you read the entire list.

THey work fine for me using mplayerplug-in.

If you are a fan of Linux on PPC, fear not, IBM still sells relatively low cost PPC machines that run Linux quite well.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, 73 members of the party voted in favour of that bill. So much for being able to take the high ground.
Why wait?
You mispelled IBM.

I want a dual POWER5 IBM OpenPower 710! Not as portable as a PowerBook, but damn is that one sweet box.
Check out the OpenPower stuff they recently announced. It's all Linux all the time. You an even choose to configure it without an operating system!
I happen to think that he is so popular because he expresses what so many of us think.

Microsoft and IBM, on the other hand, have to stop doing things against Apple that keeps them down!! Waaah waaahh.
You mean just like you don't have to on Linux, either? Thanks for re-affirming the fact that difficult application installation on Linux is a myth.
Most open source applications can be installed on OS X using those very same commands. Are you saying OS X isn't ready either?
Whomever created that image is in a lot of trouble, because SCO owns the copyright to the Daleks and isn't afraid to use it!
