In the age of the web 2.0 we still do not have a meta-government made by the people to the people. With principles like radical transparency, like the ones we learned from editing wikipedia.
I believe it is a question of having someone to blame... like some server farm that chooses microsoft over some opensource distro. They like to pass the blame to other guys. As long as that happens we, or at least until a greater percentage of the population becomes wiser to choose their own policies, we will be stuck in Soft Despotism. But hey, google also took some decades to happen, so it doesn't mean it cannot be done.
Thanks for making me have pleasure in using computers since Mandrake 7.
Thanks for making the easiest OS to use even better !
Just some suggestions: 1) make zsh the default shell, and 2) use the smart installation system because rpmdrake only allows for rpm installs 3) switch your tools from perl to python !
Love you !
he means that kde is better integrated into mandriva, it makes mandriva tools easily acessible in the menus, and mandriva tools also affects nice with kde.

websites should use the common denominator in technology for the content they need to expose.
In this case some dhtml and ajax would suffice.
In my opinion Vortalgate is the ultimate abuse of power, imagine that you want to work in IT for the government, how can you even apply if the job postings there is the only way you can access the job and you are using linux ? Only MS users would get hired, the MS fortress is safe forever ! This is the ultimate abuse of power from the MS and the portuguese ministry of technology, i.e. if you do not have our shitty alternative to shitty flash you can't apply for a job !
The Portuguese prime minister have shown cases of corruption before and i suspect the same here and with the portuguese magellan laptop.
That being said the MS cancer will spread for everyone needing to exchange documents with the government since the government has made an agreement with MS to only use their products without any public offerings for better options.
And do no say i didn't warn the government, i wrote a letter on their site to both the ministry of technology and the prime minister warning of the deadlock of proprietary formats and the advantages of OSS.
Portugal is either corrupt or ignorant to the bone marrow.
I still have faith that this stupid economic crisis takes care of this kind of problems by makind manking go frugal.

and therefore, since i haven't payed for anything more than a Personal Computer i'm not a Windows.
Machines can have, since their memories are easily copiable to other machines. Machines will probably use cloud/distributed computing for acquiring and storing data, so this makes them a huge being, that needs electricity/energy to stay alive.
When it dies, without electricity it's memories that were on some solid memory storage are preserved to later be taken out of the "coma".
Humans on the other hand do not have this explicit capability, but we also could be part of something bigger, and as hindus believe, we could be some sort of isolated islands that are part of a collective conscious earth.
OpenSource government Framework: make a standard platform that would make debating ideas on countries easy, and that would have easy access to simulators (what would happen if we cut the VAT to...) something like that. With a digg like system for voting for ideas of what to implement in each country (democracy) and the rationale for the implementation.
Nanosolar: Google already is a investor in the company, so why not release the "specs" of all the technology in the public domain free of royalties and see what happens ?
Its very easy, just pick some college books, national exams, from like 1990 to actuality, pick the best content (exercises, figures, articles) of them, create a huge online database of all this content, make an online digg/wikipedia mixture and settle for the content.
Then at the beginning of each year make a "code freeze" by selecting the exercises that will go into that years books, and tell the schools this is ready for print-time.
Have schools own and print enough books for all kids, this mass procedure makes sure it stays cheap and everybody is covered, make the textbooks are available online with extra exercises, and allow comments from students and let students that used the books commit changes to the books and have a part in picking the things they liked more about that year book.
Next year, all books on good condition that are outdated just need a little "patch" to get updated to the new years version.
Well i use Mandriva linux for 10 years now and i love it. I would love that the rest of the world would be as lovely and cooperative as the linux community that's for sure.
I propose a three strikes for politicians law: if you pass crappy laws that goes againts the people will then all your earnings as politicians are confiscated and you are no longer welcome in the country were the laws were proposed.
A true democracy never proposes artificial and unenforceable laws that goes agains the freedom and will of the majority (majority = democracy) of their citizens.
If such a crap like this is even proposed those proposing it should be have their salaries as politicians confiscated.
So if I'm a EU citizen when should i be able to buy a laptop without paying the MS tax ?
I already did expose this situation to the authority for competition (Autoridade da concurrÃncia) but got no replies.
Thanks for the reply. The great bookr just got better !
Reading books on the psp and making a pause to play games, watch movies and surf the net does it for me. Not to mention the price of the PSP. If only sony would open the PSP (with custom firmware by default) it would be the best gadget ever.
Bye.

A question Linux users do not have to care about.

Bombardiers that drop a seed packages(seed+manure+water), automatically creating sustainable forest of delicious fruits.
They do not want the royalties, they just want to put the Republican seal of approval on it.

It is also wrong that I like your opinion and slashdot doesn't give me credits to upmod it, like reddit does. Great post.

Have you seen the laws you have in the US regarding sex ? http://media.www.ecollegetimes.com/media/storage/paper991/news/2008/07/03/Top10s/Top-Ten.Wtf.Us.Sex.Laws-3388114.shtml Stop judging and get mirrors instead.

That is painless in Mandriva 2008.1
So if I'm a EU citizen when should i be able to buy a laptop without paying the MS tax ? I already did expose this situation to the authority for competition (Autoridade da concurrÃncia) but got no replies.
