    He's complaining that a single user distro has muti user security ishues, people need acces to root and sudo is a great way to do it why keeping the root acount locked out. Your can;t make a OS idiot proof and still useful by super users, windows is the atempt at idiot proof ... they fail, hes just bashing to bash. gutsy looks to be a great distro and will be human usable... o wait that was there goal in the first place.

    An iq of 110 is still considered normal, so useing the range of 110+ is kinda poinless and ruins the data imo Also is high school smart people have less sex because they are less atractive.

    To add on to your post, I was atemping to get a job at BB in there geek squad centter. When i asked what the store pollicy was on offering the consumer the free alterative to products sold at the store,_ie fire walls anti virus ect ect. The Manager froze up like a old ME box i used to have. After about a min of thinking he responded saying that if i felt it would create a stronger link with the cosumer than sure, but if i had and i quote "A wale" then i should offer up what ever he wanted from the store. Needless to say i think my question caused me not to get the job even tought in the managers words "i was the most qualified he had seen". Probly better off i didn't get that job, i can see my morals butting head with the bottom line.

    DRM is all ready to the point where most people want to pay for there music buts its so restricted and uselees there better of mailing a bukc to the artitist and just DL from aries.

I still hopeing that a few big bands will let there contracts dry up and then just publish there music online and cut out the middle man.

    Very thrue, most people look ay my gnome screen and say somthing abuot "where did you get that windows theam. Then there all shcoked that its linux and its doesn't look like the code from the matrix. Linux is NOT for everyone, its simply and alteritive. Is it harder to use, yes, but at the same time you put a little work into it and you can get alot more out of your lniux box that you could ever get out of a windows box.

  16. Re:wtf? on Piracy Economics · · Score: 0

    When ever your ready to get off your soapbox i'll be waiting. Piracy and plagarism have exsited since man started walking. I mean can you imagine disoverying the weel, or being the first guy who can make a hand cart. In this age companies need to work with piracy, we used to call it share ware back in the day. Also i agree that some piracy is a good thing becuase it ups your market share and can help you hedge out competitors. However, if you look at thing that could be pirated but are not you notice a theam. Take books for exsample, very few books find there way onto aries or bittorent, alot of the roleplaying books do but that is due to pricing. I think that brings up the point of if your product is getting priated heavly, then your doing somthing wrong IE : naspter = no legal easy to use MP3s Windows just costs way to much money for the boxed edition comapared to how much say dell pays pre licence. Games and movies will aways get cracked, people do it jsut for the fun. Also i dont care how much money you put into your anti priacy software, it will get cracked, and probly by some 14yearold script kiddy, so why not cut your losses a bit and relax you security.

  25. Re:Blindingly obvious on US's Slow Embrace of Information Technology · · Score: 1

    very true, how ever also look at the cost. The internet is cool and all but, with the death of the true net-zero there is no free internet any more. If some one wants to get online they have to shell out a decent amuont of cash for a computer fromt he store, and then pay for internet access. That can just be to much money for a low income famly to afford. On that note I urge people to insted of throwing out there old computers, yuo should give them to some one who is willing to rebuild them and give them to people. I normaly will do it for little or no cost. IE I build it you feed me .
