Apple iOperating System. Kernel panic, with class.
Rebooting suddenly got more interesting and stylish with the new Apple release. iCrashes are the best complement for your iPod, as you can switch songs while you reboot your system, in a trendy and fashionable class. (Requires iTunes.)
Apple's Digital Crash Management (DCM) technology will allow users to enjoy their crashes anywhere, everywhere.
And like any of our products, we already planned its obsolescence. The next version of the iOperating System, due who knows when, will crash less, because crashing will again become a defect Windows alone suffers.
MySQL 5 introduced stored procedures and triggers. However, their language, SQL, is very limited to say the least. Aside from its obvious shortcomings (from no FOR loop to not being able to raise errors from triggers; from no recursive functions to very limited cursors), there's the fact you're going to handle tables and tuples, and this language cannot handle either as first-class types. On top of that, you're reinventing the wheel by writing a new programming language.
Is MySQL going to add support for procedures written in more powerful, productive, flexible languages? Python comes to my mind as the obvious choice, but Lua, Guile (Scheme) and others are also powerful and easy to embed.
PostgreSQL, your open-source competition, supports this.
Groups of Americans are attacking Google over something asinine to distract the attention from the real, severe problems of the USA, such as an absolute lack of and desdain for ecology, corporativism (DRM, patents, digital AIDS in general), massive external debt (on par with many third world countries), and the fact that they have the redneck village idiot in the white house.
Lol, I forgot you can't say anything wrong about Apple.
Though the good thing is that Apple metrosexual elitists who use a $5000 Mac as the central hub of their digital lifestyle burn their mod points in this, and their opinion counts less for important matters. So keep burning them.
I'd love to see the faces of those who spent $5000 on Apple stuff because it suits their metrosexual digital lifestyle when they lose their DRM-ridden files when copying them to their statutory iPod.
BBC sucks. They're sold out to Microsoft. First they offer content in their AIDS-ridden (DRM) format, and then this. Well, they can kiss my ass for all I care, I'm never going to visit their websites to help make their Linux statistics true.
Also, I'd concentrate on fixing their horribly broken, buggy, slow, crappy, teenage-assignment-quality implementation of JavaScript for their failure of a browser, before caring to extend and extinguish. Microsoft is still in the "embrace" phase.
Seriously. Who gives a damn? Not only webcomics are very rarely fun (though this is subjective and debatable), but they spam the web and everyone writes one. If you're making articles for webcomics, are you then going to make articles for every web log (what snobs call "blog") and personal web site there is as well?
If so, I'll create a webpage for my cat, say it's relevant artistic expression, and write an article wasting Wikipedia's space and time.
So? It's going the same path of Overnet and so many others. Closed source = failure. Let them die alone.
And they speak as if they were the only ones who could develop new features. Don't forget about the distributed network for BitTorrent and all the good things clients and servers have implemented to improve existing protocols, BitTorrent and others.
Some stuff here ( http://wiseman1024.googlepages.com/ , page outdated too) and I have two applications in test stage (not going to release them until they're stable enough).
But whether I've created software or not is not important, what I'm saying is that I won't care for the recommendations of a foundation of nobodies', just like you shouldn't care for the recommendations of the Wiseman1024 Foundation on agriculture if I don't even have a farm. You can personally recommend something to a friend, but it's pointless to start a foundation and pretend to be a respectable source of software recommendations if you don't even write software.
Ha ha ha. Mod parent god. He described exactly what's happening.
BTW, I don't give two tenths of a rat's ass for what any OpenWhatever foundation pulls out of its ass, in fact I don't even listen to these kinds of organizations and their "recomendations"; it's a matter of mental hygiene. If they didn't create any product, they are nobodies, and they can all close tomorrow for what I care.
No antivirus will ever catch all the "MSIE malware", beacuse in order to do so, you'd have to catch MSIE itself, which is malware.
And if an antivirus suggested to remove (or break, because it's a "part of the operating system") MSIE, Microsoft would declare war on them -- an API war, if you know what I mean. (And we all know the American justice or so-called justice is not going to do anything against Microsoft, regardless of the law.)
When people don't have news, they make up them. They go and interview anyone who then pulls numbers out of his ass, and thus the "storage technology of the week", "power source of the week", "processing power prediction of the week", etc. is born.
Miguel de Icaza is not licking Microsoft's ass because he works for Novell; he works for Novell because he's licking Microsoft's ass.
Seriously, why do people even care about what does he do? The GNOME project and everything else should kick him out if they know what's good for the community. He's just in love with Microsoft's retarded, bloated, overengineered, closed and treacherous "enterprise" technology, and the more they let him do and the more media coverage he gets, the more damage he will deal to free software by promoting Microsoft's traps.
What's next? "Miguel de Icaza says the GNU community should adopt chair throwing"? "Miguel de Icaza adds Aero to GNOME"? "Miguel de Icaza joins Palladium"? That guy's a moron.
Who gives a fuck about CMYK? If you need it that badly, you can convert the image once done and ready for turning it into dead tree. It's not important at all during editing, save for, maybe, channel splitting, which is something you'd rarely do with a useless colour model such as CMYK.
GIMP's real problem is its interface. Its toolboxes suck. They can't be made fat and short or thin and tall, they can't be docked into anything, they'll get in the way all the time, your image file will overlap with them, you can't possibly accomodate them in any decent fashion, a lot of screen space gets wasted, and its stupid windows such as the crop window will pop in right in front of the image you were trying to edit. You need an hour of KWin tweaking to get it working half decently, and still waste screen space. On top of that, some of its tools suck (such as the way gradients work or the poor control for transparency and antialiasing), the right mouse button is wasted, and zoom sucks (though this is getting fixed in this release, as far as I can see).
I think they should take Paint Shop Pro 9 or later as a model of a proper interface and proper design for tools. It allows you to be more productive than you are with other software, it has a nice dockable interface which, after 15 minutes of tweaking, can get reduced to a minimum (and you show/hide tool options or select tools with keys), it treats colours, gradients, patterns, textures, etc. as attributes, you have a foreground and background colour to paint with the left and right mouse buttons, can easily navigate through your image with the mouse wheel, and unlike Photoshop or GIMP, it supports vector drawing as well, so you don't need separate programs for vector and bitmap draw; in PSP you can have bitmap and vector layers intertwined.
The first half 2008 will be full of awesome releases. Spore will rival with Duke Nukem Forever, Perl 6 and bytecode compiled Ruby, and it'll be the year of the Linux desktop! On top of that, we'll have about a hundred amazing new storage and display technologies we were reading about weekly in Slashdot.
I bet these two got caught because they were dealing with porn. The reason they were sentenced is that they offended soccer moms and puritan standards, not that their business was spamming and trying to fool their customers; these are common commercial practices they rarely punish.
Chobits is an awesome anime (and the manga is almost as good). I recommend watching it to everyone who's interested in anthropomorphic AI-human relationships. The story is good and it's also hilarious (Japanese humour is usually miles ahead of the stupid western humour about a fox that runs off a cliff and falls, leaving a hole with his shape, or some stupid family series cliche).

Of course, but until a product is actually announced with a release date, this is just the storage technology of the week.
