GNUstep's objective is to create a free and open source implementation of the Cocoa libraries, with some additional libraries. It does not target the OpenStep spec, which is antique and obsolete.

Proven with what? Our grasp of physics can only let us understand what probably happened minutes after the Big Bang occured. According to this model, complete removal of information occurs at the end of the cycle, or aeon, when black holes evaporate and the universe returns into a pristine state, just like a blank slate.

I think it's easier to understand what we are talking about if you imagine the universe as a white blanket.

Before the big bang occurs, the blanket perfectly smooth, just like it was well ironed. Then, a massive jolt causes it to fold, crease and wrinkle: this is information, i.e. matter. Entropy could probably act as a gradual, unstoppable force that gradually puts the blanket under tension again.
The end of universe, therefore, is the return to a pristine state completely devoid of information. Suppose you spill a cup of coffee over the blanked: it is now tainted, but this doesn't necessary interfere with the distension process of prohibit the blanket from returning to a perfectly smooth state. However, if you take a look at the tainted blanket, it obviously isn't perfectly white as before.

Therefore, the Big Bang acts as a creator of new information, not as a destructor of previous information.

AmigaOS had true multitasking, a windowing UI called Intuition, multiple screen of varying resolution on top of each other and a hardware mouse cursor (via custom graphics chips such as Denise). It also had scripting languages such as Amiga Basic (by MS) and an ARexx interpreter.

Seems a Major Major bug to me.

Since it's David Perry, I'd say it's Pepsi-flavoured Cool Spot

Asteroids have DRM?

It surprises me that no-one has mentioned Keyboardr, which offers this kind of live search functionality.

A sincere question: why not fully embrace Python? It's not as popular as Java, i.e. one of the main of the main reasons to make it the primary platform, but it's still widespread, especially within Google itself. Maybe performance issues; even when the interpreter is reimplemented with a subset of libraries? I'm curious...

Just don't be too revealing about yourself in your instant messages :)

The demise of the PC has been called for for at least 20 years now. I remember similar headlines in the early nineties, claiming that home computer gaming industry would be beaten to pulp by japanese consoles like the Sega Genesis or the Super Famicom, mainly because it would be impossible to pirate a cartridge.

Nowadays, we have a massive user base connected to a cheap digital distribution network, the Internet, with no vendor lock on. You need the right technology and strong commitment to take advantage of such a powerful platform: that's what Valve did with Steam and, seven years later, it's still a great success.

When you are unable to provide insight or interesting arguments to a discussion, you blindly criticize, troll in other words. Let's hope that at some point of time we will find some real expert in the field to RTFA, and write something that's actually worth reading.

I don't understand what they're celebrating here, since its got videogame designers, characters and gamers, all on the same list! Also, it says "Class of 2010", but the nominees span more or less 30 years of history.

Anyway, I'd would nominate Rob Hubbard, a brilliant video game musician.

May I ask: what's your opinion on the TCO of "lots of little boxes" vs Big Iron, especially in terms of energy consumption and maintenance?

Kittinger is actually acting as a consultant on the Stratos project. This is what makes me think is will be successful this time.

I am a licensed skydiver and this feat, jumping from so high above and breaking the sound barrier during freefall, has been the dream of my life, since I was a little kid. I'd also do it for free, pity I wasn't as determined and resourceful as Mr. Baumgartner. Hats off to him.
