Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

Well that sounds like it's not the big issue he claims, just means more work for ROS devs? OK..

Could you explain this, again in simple terms - 'WinSXS implementation'?

SXS?

Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

The debugging and compiling stuff doesn't mean much to me; what's important is it obviously means something to you coders and in simple terms means things are speeding up :) Was pimping ROS on YT the other day, just got a reply. I'll quote: "Also React OS is useless. It uses API's that have bee...

Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

Karl, when I mentioned the rules that was just me mumbling out loud, as I was wondering if I should/could link to my site. Decided against it and tried to PM you, but seems I'm too new for PMs. Hi belusca :) Thank you for your efforts. 22 years. With over 120 contributors, nearly 80 of which have be...

Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

But I tend to plunge first then read docs Most people do, which is where user-testing comes in. ;) Regarding Microsoft being the enemy, to me they certainly are now. In the past I have stoutly defended them, usually against Mac lovers, and indeed against Linux users too. That was then. That was bef...

Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

Mine, Trusty, Strong Awesome :) Simply 3 concepts would be good, to nail it in 3 words is excellent. And yeah, mine, trusty and strong are words I'd use too, though I might substitute 'strong' for 'smart'? I generally agree with what you (Middings) say regarding FOSS. Let me counter your counter po...

Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

if you promote "Open Source" "Free Software" to consumers, at least it is useless in my area I fully agree; ROS would need rebranding and positioning as something standing apart and different from the general FOSS aspects. It can operate within the confines of the GNU or whateve...

Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

A 'fundme' thing is very much what I'm thinking of, but at a later stage. No, no skimming like that. I want ROS to succeed. Money is not my motivation. Besides, I'm famous (at least among my peers) for my low, fixed fee, regardless of the project :) With a fundme campaign you need a more solid promi...

Re: I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

Well, to be honest, yes. Wahoo! *punches air :D OK... ROS isn't ready for daily-use users. Absolutely, I have only just discovered ROS but my impression is it's been something like 10 years and still in alpha, ie pre-beta, and impossible to give any date when it will be ready, right? However I also...

I Have a Dream... You Might Hate it

This could end up as a very long and rambling post. Sorry in advance and I'll try not to to be too wordy. It could also be viewed as offensive or at least annoying, and I may come across as an insufferable ass . Again, apologies in advance. See, my dream is this: I help you guys 'sell' ROS to the ge...
