Apple adopts more Microsoft code

[Tommy Troll]

At least Apple seems to be honest about inserting Microsoft code in their own OS.

No, where did he do that, Flint? :)

Well, to be frank, I think English sounds better than Swedish,
especially in movies. I also only read books in English rather than the
ones translated to Swedish.

Now, most *Americans* really slaughter the English language beyond
belief, but that's another story. I prefer actual English to American
BBQ redneck English any day of the week.

As if you can tell the diff.

So you think, Apple uses Microsoft *code* to implement a protocol?

[Nashton]

SMB 1.0 was published after it was reversed engineered. SMB 2.0 was
made available since its release.

Do you think Apple hired Barry Feigenbaum to rewrite the code for Apple
from scratch?

How's the fart app coming along?

Failure to answer the question.

Assumes facts not in evidence.

In article <53b4e148-fda1-4f9a...@googlegroups.com>,

it is quite possible since Apple and MS signed a cross licensing agreement after MS was caught stealing (IIRC) Apple's Quicktime code.

Waiting for proof that Apple hired Barry Feigenbaum.

Oh, you DO know that it was at IBM that Feigenbaum wrote SMB, right?

[KDT]

Let's see where to start, SMB is not "Microsoft's" code.

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/myths_about_samba.html

Myth 2: which came first?

Many people incorrectly see Samba as being a "clone" of WindowsNT. A quick check of history will confirm that the very idea is absurd. I first released Samba in January 1992, whereas the first release of WindowsNT was in August 1993. Unless you also credit me with inventing time travel, it is difficult to see how I could have been aiming to produce a "clone" of WindowsNT.

The question does not assume anything. You, however, have indeed
failed to answer the question.

It assumes that Apple hired Barry Feigenbaum. No one has presented
anything at all that substantiates that this happened.

[Flint]

No it does not. It seeks to determine if that is *your* view. Once
again, you exhibit a problem of mistaking an inference of your own
making as someone elses implication. You seem to have an ongoing
problem with that.

Yes, actually it does:

"Do you think Apple hired Barry Feigenbaum to rewrite the code for Apple
from scratch?"

"Do you think": begin a question.

"Apple hired Barry Feigenbaum" which presumes an action happened

"to rewrite the code... ...from scratch?" for the purpose which finishes
the question.

The question doesn't *imply* Apple hired Barry Feigenbaum, it presumes
it for its premise.

Isn't it hilarious when bakr poses as an intellectual on the usenet?
