Doom 3 BFG !!! And it was released last year!!!

I wonder how would TPS would feel like with this thing.

If I were this guy, I would put this in the front page of every search of "toshiba" on its site.

"Oh! You're looking for the manual for the Toshiba Satellite XXX. We had that, but Toshiba itself told us to drop it from this site because they think that your computer is SO OLD that it's already discontinued. Good luck finding it in Toshiba's site (link goes here to some goatsy picture)"

The community around it. I mean, if you want to know who understands something like IO handling, ask the guy who's doing it.

Actually, I remember reading not long ago that Linus main purpose to this day is filtering stupid crap from getting into the main kernel branch and not so much of developing active parts.

And boom! Here comes Sony with Orbis and their AMD ARM APU strategy to save the day.

I remember each distro I installed on my PC:
Red Hat 5.2 (felt in love with Linux, vim, remote X's, Apache and PHP [I was young])
Mandrake (cute tuxies, magic stars and KDE)
Debian ("apt-get install kde" over a 56K modem is slooooow)
Gentoo (Wow, that "stage 1" thing took long enough)
Ubuntu (Wait, my WiFi, X and Sound card work already? But it's all brown)
Xubuntu (I loath you Unity!)

Ehm... I still have to send a stupid FAX to any motherfucking ISP in Spain when I want to cancel off their shit full service of 1Mbs download and 256Kbs upload.

Well of course, just look at all the platforms supported by the JVM and all the projects/enterprises which depend on Java. You can't do what Python did with 3k and break backward compatibility. You can't also do a big framework release as .Net does because Java is not controlled only by a single company nor runs in a single platform.

Luckily, you can implement such 2% of features by your own. Really, it's not that hard and that's what programmers do, not simply put together a bunch of frameworks and visit /.

Then I suppose it's better to have one company to tell you how to do it and to sell you all the solutions.

I suppose you're talking about .Net here, because this happens with C/C++, Python, Ruby and Perl that I know of. Actually, it's worst in some of them.

Yeah, but you can't download Windows source code nor most of the parts from MacOS, so Linux is a good case study.

Yeah, it's stupid. Maybe they should go ahead as Linus did and release version 2 for once and for all.

Do you really believe all the bullshit you just wrote? If you spend all day immersed in MS crap, then I suppose it's not your fault.

Did you read who are part of the JCP? Do you have any idea of how much money and resources have been invested in Java platform? So, you really think these players are just going to say 'Hey, I think it would be better to ditch all of this and become MS resellers'. Actually, it's the other way around.

Sure, Linux is competitive on the server side because of the JVM. Please Mono, come and save Linux! Please let us feel the joy of .Net development.

Wish I read your explanation of Xen a few years ago. In those few sentences you explained more than in a whole 200 pages book about Xen.

I like this UI, mybe someone will clone it for Linux to see how it goes. Anyway, M$, how about a good CLI environment? It's about time.
Also, Unity and Gnome3 shell are very nice, I like both. KDE not so much. OTOH I despise iOS UI. I don't know why so many praise at its ease of use. It's a very cute piece of crap!

Oh please! The MacOS terminal is a PITA! You can see where Apple puts their UI design efforts.

I'm not a Mac fanboy by far, but don't compare those computers' design with the one provided by Apple. They could try, but they're bat-shit ugly.
