I see only kernel source here: http://developer.htc.com/ so it looks like they released only the part they had too.

Guess where they got this idea...

Could you show me the link you mention, I can't find it?

duh!

can I have one of these with USB?

Since when it's implemented in the language in question (Eclipse, NetBeans,...)

Only if the IDE was designed to "fix" bad language design or it was implemented in the same language.

Java? OK, it doesn't 'require' as in 'it needs', but it 'require' as in 'when I want to code in reasonable time span I need an IDE'
Don't get me wrong, I like Java and I like Eclipse, I just think there is a big room for improvement. On the other hand, nowadays there is simply to many libraries out there to remember the API for every single class (or even the more commonly used methods) and going back and forth between code and some library documentation isn't an 'optimal solution', so whether we like it or not, we rely on IDE's more and more.

No, it is a model, because it's not what it is 'modeling', what I'm trying to say is that we can only use concepts (e.g. models) to understand what we call the world. There is a difference between map and the territory, map is divided to concepts to be comprehensible by the mind and the territory isn't. So only thing we can observe is the mapped representation of what we call case and effect and if it contradicts the model or confirms, we never see the actual world, because the mind sees only concepts and qualia not what they describe.

Please read "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins to understand better what you're saying...

Please mod parent up!

It still amazes me that people tend to confuse the map with the territory (simulacra anyone?) "Life" is a meaningless concept on it's own, the meaning is made by context, if your context is based on romantic/Christian base it shifts towards the soul nonsense, but if your context is purely scientific - it depends only on definitions and facts.
IMHO life is gens, it's DNA in motion, it's the amino-acids that forms DNA and it's the particles that forms those amino-acids. Life is everything.
If someone want to divide their "territory", please go ahead, but please remember it's just in your mind. You create life with concept of "'I' that lives", of "'Me' that is living' and start to divide me/not-me, life/death, etc... but those are just concepts, they only 'exists' as representations of 'the world' that 'the mind' tries to understand in order to use or 'live in'.
So for me it's irrelevant if something is considered alive or not. E.g.: when there will be a computer system that can mimic the brain in it's functions - it'll be just as alive as former.

They probably realized by now it was a disaster ;)

"...While all that pervasive multithreading made for impressive technology demos and a great user experience, it could be extremely demanding on the programmer. BeOS was all about threads, going so far as to maintain a separate thread for each window. Whether you liked it or not, your BeOS program was going to be multithreaded."

"GCD embodies a philosophy that is at the opposite end of the spectrum from BeOS's "pervasive multithreading" design. Rather than achieving responsiveness by getting every possible component of an application running concurrently on its own thread (and paying a heavy price in terms of complex data sharing and locking concerns), GCD encourages a much more limited, hierarchical approach: a main application thread where all the user events are processed and the interface is updated, and worker threads doing specific jobs as needed."
Very good in-depth article btw. http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars/1

According to the latest Ars Technica article about Snow Leopard, BeOS had used threads for everything and it didn't worked out quite well in the end unfortunately...

Please, it's Firefox _not_ FireFox nor fire fox, thank, you.

I did, after being supportive and forgiving from 4.0 to 4.3beta, I'm tired of KDE4 trying way too hard too reinvent everything, braking usability and killing my productivity.
Maybe after 4.5 it will be mature enough, like 3.5... oh wait

Away From The Keyboard? Unplugged? ;P
