Really old song, I think I heard it ten years ago, but a great little rendition on the Escapist.

I dunno what the OS as such it is, on the Voyager probes, but that's the most reliable thing (with any degree of complexity) I've heard of, read up their history and you'll see.
Yeah, Chrome OS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_os]. Yeah, it looks alot like the web browser, and it's built on top of Linux. Holding a big press conference on it tomorrow, even though people have been running beta builds of it since they announced it... a year or two ago?Jack and Calumon said:
Music video was great, especially the stinger. Still kinda prefer the acoustic version played over Desert Bus, but this wasn't bad.
Nope. Not only do I know of the VIC-20, I actually used one for a while. My friend used one for some programming he was doing, and he had even added 16k of RAM via the expansion port. He traded up to the C64 when it was released, and then grabbed the C128 when it came out. We both had started our respective programming experiences on the Commodore Pet. He stuck with Commodore stuff, whereas I was more into music so I jumped over to Atari (first with the 600XL and then on to the 520ST). The PC side of window-based operating systems didn't impress me at all until I installed IBM's OS/2 version 3 on my old 386 system. I still miss OS/2.Mydnyght said:
I did indeed, and thank you! Instructions are here if you want to try it yourself for whatever reason: http://nheilke.com/blog/?p=1627dex-dex said:

Wes Borg also lives in Victoria, and has become a friend of ours over the past couple years. So there's some nifty collaboration now and then.Lorechaser said:
Unix based systems are playing a very long game of Russian roulette. Every time Apple brags about not having viruses, they put another bullet in the verylarge chamber and pull the trigger. And one of these days they are going to shoot themselves playing it.syltman said:That and it also doesn't suck.Sincere outlaw said:Linux users still have this

There's a bit more to it then that, but that's the main reason why none hasn't tried developing one.blue_guy said:
Fantastic. ;D
Though i havent had a real software crash in years. Mostly from heat problems which i fix when i found out how to crank the fan speed up.

Eh. Probably about as long it takes to learn to use Linux.Glutnix said:Yeah, but how long did it take for him to LEARN to do that l33t manoeuvre at the drop of a hat...?Sincere outlaw said:Linux users still have this
That said, I've been a pretty staunch Windows fan all my life, even though it has it's fair share of problems. A month ago, my laptop with Vista got infiltrated by a virus, which I couldn't kill. So I reformatted to just kill the damn thing.
Vista didn't re-install.
So now I have a $1000 piece of plastic and fancy LCD screen sitting on my couch doing nothing, and I'm stuck using my Mum's crappy old Windows XP desktop. x.x
Uhhhh... what? I'm not aware of that ever happening as you seem to envision it.
Mac applications, while technically UNIX-based, are VERY different from Linux applications and I have yet to see one run on a Linux machine in any way, using any software bar virtualization software that all three OSes can use. It's also worth noting that Mac applications
Windows applications can run using WINE or CrossOver, but though that's fairly decent, it's not the holy grail and doesn't do everything right - and it's certainly a far cry from being in any way native in terms of support.
Obviously, Linux apps don't run on either system unless they're ported or virutalized.
Please tell me what you use to run Windows and Mac applications with that degree of seamlessness (unless by an "environment" you mean Virtualbox or some other virtual machine, which is in fact cross-platform).
On topic, though, the video was very cute and well-done, though I did see the sync a bit off. I honestly kinda preferred the original one on deadtrolls.com though.
