Pegasos II G4 1GHz benchmarks! : Comment 305 of 356 | ANN.lu |
Posted by pixie on 13-Jan-2004 18:54 GMT | Let's just all do this mind game, you have this famous player Figo, who is one of the best football players in existence, and let's just pretend that Figo, just for the sake of argumentation:
a) uses rastas;
b) had born in Angola (Africa) so he posess full knowledge of African culture;
c) has that cool style generally associated with blacks;
This player had won the best football player title, but can we say that he is the best black football player in the world just because he had acquired all this things normally associated with black culture? (this is an way over-extrapolation, take it in mind)
No, it wouldn’t because he would be still white.. (please don't ask me though questions like: Mickael Jackson is black or white tipe, because I wouldn't know the answer) just the same, Pegasos is a Pegasos, it doesn't turn magically into an Amiga just because someone wish for.
It doesn't run AmigaOS applications anymore then Amithlon.
/*which would still be more Amiga, if not only because it was Amiga branded, as for having been shipped with actul AmigaOS code, kickstart ad infinitum... if not for the part of H&P not actually paying Amiga IPs and all that Bernd Meyer & Harald Frank's mess)
What it does do, is doing it in a different way...
Amiga isn't an Amiga because it behaves the same way, just like Linux isn't Unix either. One thing Linus (and all the folks behind Linux momentum) has done well was separating themselves from Unix while being at the same time 'close at heart', but they actually had gather identity and tied to it, respect, which for the moment lacks on MorphOS (the identity part).
I don't know if all this fights had also happened in unix and linux land, but I do hope so, if not only because we would be looking a bit more do normal if we would had something to compare...
- Hey! Why are they fighting if both are Amigans? Aren't they supposed to be on the same side?
- Oh... that! This has happened before in Linux and Unix crowds, it's an usual and quite beneficial thing to do amongst others Operating Systems... like Unix and Linux, do you see at where Linux is now!?
- Oh! Is that so? Now I'm more relieved! |
