OK, I'll bite to this flame... Henry Morgenthau was then US Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Morgenthau%2C_ Sr.), this is what HE wrote, of the stuff HE saw http://net.lib.byu.edu/~rdh7/wwi/comment/morgentha u/Morgen24.htm ... and this is but an example, you can read the rest of his book : http://net.lib.byu.edu/~rdh7/wwi/comment/morgentha u/MorgenTC.htm and even then, you can look at all the sources that are from non-Armenians (http://www.unitedhumanrights.org/Genocide/armenia n_genocide.htm, the pictures might upset your stomach... http://imia.cc.duth.gr/turkey/arme.e.html, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6045182.stm, etc.).

I will go on and say that nationalism, radicalism serves no purpose for humanity, it is racism in it's purist form and it only serves to treat another person with less respect than you would like to be treated yourself. For shame, I get sick when I think of all the people that died and still die for such petty things.

You've tried to find a gui for unix equivalent to Windows, which last time I checked doesn't exist, and when you failed you started ranting. If you want to keep using the Windows gui, stick to Windows. Really lots of people use it for businss and leisure, it certainly isn't that bad.

But let's look closer at your beef with unix, and why in my opinion it is totally irrelevant. Has it ever occured to you that the majority of people actually using unix on the desktop are happy with it, or they wouldn't be using it, and they'd probably hate being forced to use Windows, or anything else for that matter, because it would be totally unfamiliar to them just like unix was to you?

Has it ever occured to you that these users couldn't care less if there's a gui & set of apps functionaly & visually equivalent to Windows, since they don't *need/want* that functionality?

And before you step in and say that if more people are to start using unix on the desktop, such a gui must be created, has it ever occured to you that such people minght not give a damn if more people start using it or not?

Why should they care what other people use on their home box. I'm using someting that I know, like and am familiar with. If you don't like it, I honestly couldn't care less. I don't care what my users are using on our network either. They should be and are free to shoot their feet any way they please.

Lately I've been using windowmaker + wterms + gtk (gtkstep rocks!) w/ some gtk apps (gimp, gtksee, xchat...) and netscape etc. During the last year or so I seem to have stabilized on a consistent setup on my laptop, workstation at home & work etc., before that I would experiment often, try new things etc. Thing is, it's been almost a year since i last did a dramatic change on the setup appart from the odd upgrade here and there, the occasional tweak here and the odd background image change =P

I can say that I finally found the ideal gui for myself - i'm very productive, everything is in the right place, it's readable (contrary to 99% of the themes on theme.org). Granted this path to nirvana wasn't painless, but hey, there's no way an out of the box gui can please all people. Accepting anything prepackaged is bound to be a compromise, including windows.

Chances are, you're probably not gonna like my setup. My point is though, that I'm not gonna like your windows setup either. You miss some windows apps on unix, I'd miss some unix apps on windows.

Explanation on legality of this information

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace.

The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player.

Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

Much thanks to this site for listing mirrors of the mirror lists.

This site contains some good technical documentation as well as more source code that the DVD consorium's lawyers would rather you not see:

Mirrors by Anonymous Coward · 1999-12-29 06:42 · Score: 0 · on DVD Hearing Today - Are You Ready to Rumble?

You have one bat and there are 100 million holes Visit Humpin! (No, it's not what you think!)

Save a copy of this web page now!

We have just been informed that the DVD Copy Control Association is seeking a restraining order against us (named as "Doe 28") for distributing DeCSS and linking to pages that distribute it and linking to pages that link to pages that distribute it.

Section 48 of this request states that we supposedly "have received notice through the MPA and refused to remove the information at issue". This is absolutely false! We have never received any such request (from the MPA or anybody else for that matter) and we obviously were not given the opportunity to refuse! Either Jared Bobrow needs to go back to law school or the DVD CCA needs to get a new firm. This is the kind of sloppy work that could get an important document thrown out.

Here is a 2600 story on this.
