DSL Rising
Steve wrote to us with an
article about the rise of DSL throughout the world. What I find most interesting is the discussion about cable vs. DSL; in the United States cable is winning, but globally, DSL holds the cake.

OpenDK helps to takedown the DSL barriers in rural areas. It is being implimented many places that just can not afford pay-for-it "pro" software versions.
I'm really getting tired of doing this every time, can one of you other trolls please pick up the torch? I've got an exam for the next 3 hours, so at least until 5:30. Thanks.
YOU FAIL IT!
is that a "I want to post something quick in the vain attempt at gaining karma so I'll make a half-heatred vaguely on-topic comment" type comment?
Unfortunately, broadband is only part of the picture. It isn't enough for people to be passive consumers of information. They must contribute to the global dialog. In order to do this, they have to publish to the web. The problem here, is that only the rich can afford an easy to use web publishing package like FrontPage running on Windoes XP/2000. Everyone else is forced to use a free but hard to use knock-off like Linux to make their voices heard.
Maybe if the terrorists had been able to participate in the global economy, they wouldn't have attacked us so viciously. Perhaps we should send them a complimentary copy of Windows. Just my $.02.
Linux is for us. The eccentric, anti-social, and super-intelligent humans.
We dont want you infecting Linux with your stupidity and then complaining about copy-paste operations between applications that should have never been developed for Linux anyways.
I hope that Linux developers get this straight. Dont waste your time developing applications like Kspread or Kword in order to satisfy these business minded secretaries.
Linux is made for Science, Network Serving, High-End image processing etc. Windows has dominated the boring business world because thats what drove them in the first place.
We are a new generation of Unix users. Unix is still the most powerful operating system historically known. And its here to stay.
However, the lack of Intelligence in this world drives Microsofts popularity higher and higher.
I do not welcome Microsoft Supporters in the Linux world.
You get it? Stay away from Linux. I hate you, Linux hates you, we all hate you.
You are not our customers, therefore you are not right. We are not here to service you. Either you like or you dont.
And one more complaint. There are so many "so-called experts" on this site. Yes, many of you are so articulate about your criticism against Linux. You dont know shit, even you have your degrees.
When I get my degree, I will find you somewhere and test how smart you really are about Computer Science. Yes Im on the way. You will suffer from embarassment, I will put you on the spotlight and make you choke on your statements.
I dont have a degree now, but I have a common sense that is more effective than all your education and expirience put together. You are the kind of people tha spend hours, days, and weeks reading manuals and then calling technical-support at a call-center that hires greduates from idiot trade schools and barely made it through highschools to give you answers. Me, I just throw the book on the floor, and figure it out in a matter of hours(depending on what the problem is).
Yes you really lack the basic intelligence, you may know how to read, write, speak, and solve major mathematical equations, but you lack common sense, and therefore are in no positions to criticise Linux in any way, shape, or form.
You are just taking unjustified advantage of the First Amendment of the Constitution.
You are IDIOTS!!!!
You are IDIOT!!!
We are SUPERIOR!!!
