: PS : bitkeeper a rien de _mal_ et puis d'abord, tu veux remplacer ton noyau linux par quoi ? un QNX ? un SCO ?

: Faut pas dire ça, Hippo est fan
et Hippo, c'est un de nos gourous (en plus, c'est un ENSien)
Et pis y a que Tunes de vrai
kim :
bitkeeper -> et merde, y peuvent bien utiliser ce qu'ils veulent non ? Si ils font du bon boulot avec, et qu'en plus, ils sortent des trucs gpl, moi je dis pas non.
• kim n'est pas intégriste, NA !

Pollux :
Tu rigoles, ils n'en sont qu'aux meta-omega-spécifications
Pourtant, toutes les extensions ont l'air de fonctionné correctement, le seul problème, c qu'elles apparraissent plus dans la partie extension et que je peut donc plus modifier la config.Oui mais elle ne sont plus officiellement supportées, Il n'est pas garanti que leur support dure contrairement aux nouvelle. En plus elles permettent la désinstallation et la mise a jour via Mozilla Update.
0.10Non il se sont un moment posé la question mais la prochaine sera effectivement une 1.0
4.1 What are the main features of TUNES?
To sum up the main features in technical terms, TUNES is a project to replace existing Operating Systems, Languages, and User Interfaces by a completely rethought Computing System, based on a fully reflective architecture.
Proeminent features built around this reflective architecture will include unification of system abstractions, security based on formal proofs from explicit negociated axioms as controlled by capabilities, higher-order functions, self-extensible syntax, fine-grained composition, distributed networking, orthogonally persistent storage, fault-tolerant computation, version-aware identification, decentralized (no-kernel) communication, dynamic code (re)generation, high-level models of encapsulation, hardware-independent exchange of code, migratable actors, yet (eventually) a highly-performant set of dynamic compilation tools (phew).
You may find precise definitions of these features in the TUNES Glossary (if it lacks a definition you need, please tell, so we should add it; contributions welcome).
4.2 Are these buzzwords or what?
These are NOT buzzwords. These are technical terms, and, again, you may find precise definitions in the TUNES Glossary.
We do not choose the above terms because they are flashy or anything; at the time this description was written down, none of them had any particular hype-value. We chose these terms because they describe in concise ways the features we want for TUNES; you sure wouldn't like them to be replaced by fully expanded definitions in layman terms!
If you're not convinced, you may compare to the pitiful list of real buzzwords below, that could sadly be applied to many an existing proprietary commercial operating system:
"A proven 32-bit cutting-edge state-of-the-art industrial-strength Y2K-compliant zero-administration plug-and-play industry-standard Java-enabled internet-ready multimedia professional personal-computer Operating System that is even newer and faster yet compatible, with a user-friendly object-oriented 3D graphical user interface, amazing inter-application communication and plug-in capability, an enhanced filesystem, full integration into Enterprise networks, an exclusive way to deploy distributed components, seamless network sharing of printers and files." (yuck)
2.1 What is the TUNES Project?
The TUNES Project is a project to develop a free software computing system based on a reflective design, which system as a whole is also to be named " TUNES".
We want to get rid of the obsolete or plain misdesigned idiosyncrasies of current computing systems that standardize things from the low-level on, as the legacy of systems designed first for resource-poor computers, then under the constraints of proprietary software.
For instance, we want to replace filesystems with orthogonal persistence of objects, compilation and administration of program binaries with automatic consistency management of dynamically optimized code, user-interface-driven programming with structure-driven user-interfacing, explicit manual networking with implicit automatic distribution. See below if you like feature lists.
The common point about these features is that they consist not in something more that the user/programmer can do with some more work (implementing such "do" features is a "simple matter of programming", and requires no a priori system support besides the basic device drivers); they consist in the user/programmer being able not to do, about his not having to care, yet still achieve all that he does care about; they consist in relieving the human from work by letting the machine handle it for him, which is the essence of progress.
The ability to let the machine automatically do things that could previously be done only by manual interaction (which include typing programs), the ability to specify what one cares about and what doesn't care about and trusts the computer to handle all by itself, these are what the reflective design is all about.
Uther :
Il y a une extension(nouvelle) qui permet d'afficher les extensions anciennes dans le menu extension et donc de les configurer mais évidement pas de les desinstaller et mettre à jour.
bon a savoir, ça, merci. Mais si on peut pas les désinstallé, comment on fait pour les virer ??On peut pas! du moins pas automatiquement. On peut juste les désactiver.
