I was wondering why exactly this happened in our country.This is the country closely tied to Microsoft for many years.Average people don't even know there is alternative to Windows OS. We are probably the most "Windows Desktop conservative" country in the world. Most of the people don't know there is alternative to Windows! I'm sure this wide adoption has lot to do with good support from Mozilla team in our country http://mozilla.lugos.si/ and Firefox supporters trying to explain benefits of Firefox from early beginnings.

So in a way we won but war is not over YET. There is still 58% of computers without Firefox around.The good thing is this percentage can't be ignored from web developers any more. There is almost no Firefox incompatible web pages. Next "war" please ??... :)) Perhaps ODF? Maybe OS war ? I was wondering if this has anything to do with R.Stallman visiting Slovenia and Croatia http://www.lugos.si/lugos/rms2000/pic/RMS-2000-10- 14/ looks very suspicious :))) Maybe we need Linus Torvalds now to help us win OS war or maybe Mark Suttleworth he seems more like a desktop guy :))) Anyway thanks to Mozilla team and to all Firefox and OSS fans in our country.

Okay, here is a good example.

For those who don't want to read the link, basically he was at the airport, and didn't take his shoes off. Even though it was 'recommended'. He was brought to the side, and they had to do an entire search. Then he wanted to get into a philosophical debate with the security guy, who was just doing his job.

I fly for work too, Mr. Stallman. Maybe I was the guy in the line behind you who had to wait an extra 10 minutes, while you decided to cry out about your rights...and about the use of the word 'recommend.'

Why the hell can't you just take off your shoes, and go through the detector like everyone else? Anyone who has flown in the past few years knows the drill. The security checkpoint wasn't put there to violate our rights, it was put there because people want to bring bombs and guns onto airplanes. It is unfortunately a necessity.

But of course Stallman just has to see this as another chance to challenge the status quo...to make his point.

The hundred people behind him don't give a shit about his point...they just want to get through the damn security check. So they can get on with their lives.

That is just ONE example of why I think he is a big idiot.

I could point out hundreds of others from his blog. It's easy, because he is the most self-rightous person I have ever 'met' through their blog.

No, I haven't him in person. I can only form my opinion on the information he makes available.

If he (or anyone else) would like to investigate my life, and make his opinion known, I would welcome them.

Oh, and that guy has one of the ugliest websites I have ever seen...and he has no idea in the world how to crop pictures. (Seriously, this is not flamebait...go look at his website.) Oh, and I also think he is a big hairy dirt-bag.

There- that's about it for now.

claimed the radical elements of the community could damage the reputation of open source software

Could? Looks a little too late for "could".

Could damage the reputation of open source???
LOL

Really, I find this bald zealot much scarier than this hairy one.

And Eric, that combover is fooling nobody. You're bald. Deal with it.

This only applies to Windows, though. Under Linux, hair regrowth occurs.

Yes.

or take a look at this picture afaik he aint no pr0n webmaster :P

I mean, have you seen some of the gurus of "open source" lately?

Whatever can you mean?

Who needs PowerDVD Linux?
A:Currently, PowerDVD Linux is targeting those IA(Information Appliance, such as Set-top Boxes) developers as an embedded software DVD playback solution. CyberLink is also looking forward to integrating PowerDVD Linux into various Linux distributions. The time frame will be early next year.

2.Is there any trial version available for individual users?
A:Trial version is not yet available for end users right now. Please check back CyberLink web site constantly and we'll publish related news once it is available.

3.Do you have PowerDVD Linux retail version for we Linuxers?
A:Not yet. Due to the variety of different audio and video hardware devices among systems , there are still many details we have to work out. For example, device manufacturer such as NVIDIA has not released their display drivers with Overlay support for Linux yet. That is why CyberLink can not release the retail version right now. We think it is not responsible to release any product until we can ensure the functionality, general compatibility and program stability when running our software.

That was from here and was also from 2000. Four years later, and we still have nada.

no, you're not. he's highly regarded, in some cases more so than some pedantic crybabies we all know...

Rampant faggotry on Slashdot.

Would you give money to these people?

I have just one word for you: Rampant faggotry on Slashdot.

ESR has given us a compelling essay on the benefits of communal non-property. He has enriched our lives with a collection of stirring poetry. He has left an electronic legacy of just how gruesome the human form can get. And he has given every underdog geek hope with an inspiring account of his meteoric rise to unheard of riches.

But none of these compares to his Sex Tips for Geeks. After all, if these tips can get ESR into some hottie's pants, then any disgusting slob can get laid!

Seriously, though, how could ESR have developed these valuable mating tips? Nobody can make me believe that even if he offered all of his newfound wealth to the most hard-up crack-whore on the streets of New York he could get his stinger wet. My Philosophy professor always said, "you cannot invoke magic or God and expect to win an argument in this class." I am therefore left to reach only one possible conclusion. What follows is the only possible explanation for ESR's Sex Tips for Geeks.

The room was dark and the night was cold as the rain pelted against the window. Eric paid no attention, though, absorbed as he was in the warm glow of his computer monitor. A raspy voice grated out of the speakers situated on either side of his monitor, "you've got mail!"

It was his mother's voice, which he had recorded to use with the perl AOL interface he had been working on for the past 10 years. Eric smiled and wiped the sweat condensing in his palm on his thin swatch of hair, only to replace the sweat with the grease oozing from his scalp. His hands shaking, Eric simultaneously pressed the ctrl, alt, shift, F1 and page down keys to retrive the new mail message. He read the message allowed, his voice quivering with excitement.

"hi! i will meet with u on chat 7pm tonite! c u then, xoxoxoxo suzee."

Eric expunged a bulb of gas from his spastic bowel as he checked his watch. 6:57 pm. His shaking grew more extreme, more uncontrollable. He could barely press the key sequence alt, space, F10, F3, tab, scroll-lock, page-up and end to bring up his open-source AOL chat client. Eric was barely able to situate his notebook and ink his quil before the chat client began to load. Eight minutes later, the client was ready to go.

"hi eric," came the message.

Eagerly, Eric replied, "hi, suzee! how r u tonite?"

"fine, thanks. u r late! i wuz worried!"

Eric scribbled in his notebook, "women like promptness."

"i am sorry :( what did u do today?"

"it's ok..."

"Politeness goes a long way," he wrote.

"... i got in trouble in school becuz i hit this guy becuz he kept pulling my hair :("

"No hair-pulling," he noted.

"so. what grade r u in?" Suzee asked.

Eric blushed. The large beads of sweat began to roll down his face to fall on his keyboard. He wiped his forhead with his hand and picked up more grease from his thin red hair. Shaking, he replied to Suzee, "i am not in school n e more."

"that is kool! what do u do then?"

"Girls like men who are no longer in school," He scribbled, before replying.

"i write about my newfound riches and how open-source is a superior method of software development."

There was a long pause. Eric's leg began to shake nervously. A

What is a "Linux Processor"?

It a special type of CPU. When you take the heat sink-fan off, this is what the CPU die looks like.
