And I honestly thing linux/*NIX users are a bit jeulous, and salivate over the Aqua source, because KDE/Gnome do not work nearly as well, and Mac users only need the terminal when they WANT to use it. Not when the HAVE to.

I can assure you that I am not the least bit "jeulous". Furthermore, with Mandrake 9.0, the only time I need to use an x-term is when I want to. Between the Konqueror file manager, and the Mandrake Control Center, there is not thing one that I can do from the command line that I can't do from the desktop. There are plenty of other distros where this is also true: Red Hat, Lycoris, ELX.

This, too, is just more Redmond FUD. Please don't help His Gatesness propagate it.

this topic really is pathetic. still, it brings up many good points. without discussion, how would we ever reach any conclusions or decisions?

Pissed_Macman · « **Reply #34 on:** 16 April 2003, 13:57 »

But we don't reach any conclusions or decisions!

Calum · « **Reply #35 on:** 16 April 2003, 14:12 »

true, maybe we should stop discussing things then.

Yes, I regret to have started this topic since it's really pathetic.

I believe however, that we've seen valid points from some of the members here and this discussion was up to a certain point quite fruitful. I won't bother with such discussions any more, at least in the MES forums, which is a total waste of time, sorry.

Calum · « **Reply #38 on:** 16 April 2003, 16:18 »

oh okay. no more fruitful discussion on these forums then!

What I meant was that I'd be better off writing useful articles by collecting such points for the promote-opensource.org page, rather than arguing in these forums. I hope you know what I mean, because I can't find a better way to express what I think (language limitations). :rolleyes:

Calum · « **Reply #40 on:** 16 April 2003, 20:05 »

yeah, i'm just being obstreperous!

but may i say to you that if you participate in these discussions, maybe the replies will contain more good information for said articles.

what kind of articles are we talking about btw? i can probably do a general one or two if you want.

Damn you Calum. You made me open up my dictionary after a long time to look up the word obstreperous.

As for the articles, I was thinking of something that would sum up all of these points made in this thread, as to if and how does Apple as a corporate entity benefit the open source - free software community. :rolleyes:

I also don't mind if the article is negative to Apple. I just don't think I can write it just yet, at least not in English.

obsteperous is ENGLISH??? i thought he was talking in greek to make it easier for you... :eek:

i may be able to rip up a lukewarm aritcle on the holdiays if i remember... no promises though i just got assigned a phil essay to do as holiday work...

Calum · « **Reply #43 on:** 16 April 2003, 21:24 »

well panos, how about if i write the article summing up the contents of this page? then i'll submit it to you as usual and also to ecsyle, if you don't mind, i don't want to steal it away from you. also i doubt it will be very anti-apple when all things are considered.

well done on looking up obstreperous, i didn't think i had spelt it correctly!

interestingly, panos, you often mention that you are not too good at english but your english appears to be at least as good as, and often is noticable better than, many people whose first language it is on these boards!

Thanks for the compliment Calum.

I guess I lack some self-esteem, that's why I'm so modest. As for the article, I'd be honoured if you wrote it and of course submit it anywhere you like. You could also submit it at Newsforge or Slashdot. It would be really interesting.
