I took a glance at your website and couldn't find that. I shouldn't have to resort to Slashdot to find major policy changes in your project.
That being said, GNU-Darwin is still a political project and not a technology project: Decisions regarding the future of GNU-Darwin are not based on technlogy that will most benefit the end user's ability to get real work done but on personal interpretation of third party actions and policies.
How long will it be before Apple does something else to tweak the nipples of GNU-Darwin and send PowerPC development into maintenance mode again?
No, just Darwin. That means the kernel and all of the userland stuff, but no Cocoa, Carbon, QuickTime, Aqua, etc. What you get is a BSD UNIX, not Mac OS X.
Do you think maybe the reason nerds are unpopular is because they don't know when to take a nice long gulp of balance? No one wants to hear anyone whining, and nerds don't know when to shut up. No one wants to be corrected or shown up, and nerds have a need to be accurate beyond necessity. Is it such a big surprise when the superior minority are repressed by the much more populace rabble?
Shit, I used to be a nerd, and probably still am to some degree, and have no problem keeping both my obsessive studies and interests simultaneously with my deadly way with ladies and meeting new people.
I can't help it if some pencildick that sits in front of his computer all day eating Cheese Nips and creating niche, shite software forgets to bath or how to talk entirely and then wonders why women and more well-balanced men scoff. I scoff at you too.
while you care about how what protocol you choose will make you look to others (something sad in itself), you should be worry about what protocol will do the best job of allowing others to download 1-6MB files.
this is curely an example of slashdot's readership consisting of 13 year old fatherless geeks.
That GNU-Darwin people decides not to link to "proprietary" libraries is, of course, a result of them using the GNU Public License so extensively-- and now the primary supported Darwin platform is not even supported in this project!
This makes me shake my head and think "what the fuck." This project is not only shooting itself in the foot by choosing a platform not fully supported by the OS, but is also screwing over the real meat of Darwin's userbase: PowerPC owners. This move is akin to opening a car garage (in America) whose mechanics are all experienced in servicing American cars, and then changing policy months later, stating that the garage will only work on foreign models.
Where's the fucking logic?
Seriously, am I the only one who is wondering who the Hell is in charge at that project? Kool-Aid Man? This move makes so little sense I can't tell if the people at GNU-Darwin are really that stupid, or if I am waking up in alternate realities every damn morning. I almost kind of hope for the latter.
This is the GPL in action, Mac faithful. Get down and kiss Apple's butt for choosing the BSD license.
With a twinkle in his eye and a skip in his step, RMS slammed his sky-blue Chevette's rusted-out car door and turned on heel toward the MIT Zoo entrance. Today was a Sunday, and RMS had decided the daily stresses of Free Software, the GPL, and his "crazy" drug habits could go away for just one afternoon while he enjoyed the zoo.
"That'll be twenty-five dollars, sir," the lady at the admission booth said glumly. She looked at RMS expectantly.
"I was expecting this zoo to be Free," RMS stated loudly, eyes darting around to gauge onlookers' reactions. There were none: RMS's capital F had went unnoticed. "Can you ensure me that this money will not help fund--"
The admissions lady cut him off. "Twenty-five dollars, or twenty bucks with a Mr. Pibb can," the lady cut in.
With a grumble and shake of his beard, RMS handed over twenty five of his hard-earned dollars. Considering that the GPL works to unemploy programmers, one must wonder where this money came from...
By evening, RMS found himself in front of the penguin exhibit. He felt himself start to sweat, which would have been no surprise-- his thick, full, grizzly beard must be worth a thousand down comforters-- except that he was wearing only a pair of nylon biking shorts and a travel pack around his waist. He stared at his hands. What was wrong?
"AWWWK!" a nearby bird offered. RMS wheeled in the direction the screech had come from. He was met with the steely, unfeeling stares of a penguin. "AWK! Ooooh God, the penguin said AWK... lord, lord lord, it's LINUX. THE PENGUIN IS TUX!" RMS blurted out. He felt dizzy, and cold sweat now washed over his brittle, hairy chest. He looked this way and that. From nearby a bird again squawked.
"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWK"
RMS ran as fast as his atrophied hippy-programmer legs could carry him, right thru a gate and into an exhibit. He realized what he had done, and before he could turn around, he heard a low, ominous sound. Like the Devil's riding mower. "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" RMS gasped.

The money doesn't actualy come from the people buying the video games. Try parents fueling their immature adolescent's anti-social habits.

No it's not. Read about this asinine move here.
No, just Darwin. That means the kernel and all of the userland stuff, but no Cocoa, Carbon, QuickTime, Aqua, etc. What you get is a BSD UNIX, not Mac OS X.
A chip architecture that had a limited production run and has been dead for 10 years on a marginal UNIX platform only of interest to geeks and nerds.
what other 20 year old platform is so dear to our hearts?
Macintosh.
this was news almost a week ago. way to keep up, dipshit.
oh, and the only way to mount idisks on a linux box is to begin with wiping out your hard drive and installing mac os.
Defaultly installed in /Application/TextEdit.app under Mac OS 10.2.
I'm outta here, suckers.

Finder is now Cocoa-- notice by the window buttons' lighting, they match iChat and Safari's.

"you're fired."
suck it up, cry baby, or get your "will program for food" sign ready.
replace with freebs kernel.
boo-frickety-hoo
It should win for most fucking useless interface on a web site. Green-blob navigation is the worst.
Like a whore in the docks indiscriminately turning tricks for any old sailor, the BSD license will allow us to link to any old library!
My counselor told me this, and I refused to believe her. I only have so much self-denial (and unemployment) left...
I was just at their SourceForge web site, and only non-release builds of 2.0 were available... 1.4.1 was the latest actual release version.
Er, oops, wait-- this is Open Source land, where every 0.0.03.4.195f12 nightly build counts as a milestone.
My bad.

Great. Free room and board.

It's up now. Keep watching my page for news.
for all two people who need IRIX threads on NetBSD.
I didn't look at it this way. That is a true, vary positive spin. GNU-Darwin shows itself to the door by dropping PPC/non-GPL support.
