  2. Ethics in software? on Don't Copy That Floppy! Gets a Sequel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For me the only ethics in software is being able to share it with your friends. Did your mother teach you nothing?

    You know what is truely ethical?; Marking something and then sharing it with the rest of the world!

    And the only thing that is truely attacking the digital age are the proprietary software vendors and the pro-copyright bodies.

    Now get the fsck off my lawn!

    Intelligence is merely a 'rating' at how capable one's brain is of something.

    Being intelligent at math means being very capable of thinking, understanding and finding the correct solutions.

    Of course you have also social intelligence, cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, etc.

  4. Re:Like Capitalism on Examining the HTML 5 Video Codec Debate · · Score: 1

    Do you honestly think Google cares about Linux users enough to switch its entire video infrastructure?

    They totally do not care about their own Android Linux users. You are absolutely right. They don't spend millions on the floss Google Summer of Code. How could I be so stupid?

    Why?

    I don't remember. Maybe it has something to do with an open web, freedom and culture. Oh well..

    Why?

    I don't know... Maybe if they have two different quality versions of the same videos already then Google has to store 3*2 videos (3x times the storage) and has to convert uploaded vids 6 times instead of 2?

    See me after class.

    Go 'F' yourself

    People use Wikipedia. In order to see it, sysadmins in companies and schools will support it. Firefox will support it. Linux distro's will support it. So OGG video support will enter the Windows world. H.264 will not be available on all platforms.

    Not all Linux distro's will support h.264. Firefox will not support it. So In order for Google to get the widest audience it either needs to continue flash (check Gnash progress; the future looks good) or go for OGG.

    I think people should fight for OGG, but I am confident OGG will win if the specs remains undifined. Even if it doesn't then it will in the future.

    YouTube will not offer both h.264, flash and OGG at the same time; too expensive.

    Web 2.0 will certainly not burst. All you do as a large web 2.0 company is buy more servers and bandwith the more user you get. The more users you get the more advertisement revenue you get and so the more money you make... That's it. So why should it burst?

    I've never said that I was intelligent and I am not a native English speaker and I do not live in an English speaking country. But I am sure that you are as fluent in a language that's not native to you, as I am in English.

    Ask those same people about having THEIR face superimposed on a nude child's body and see how their answers change.

    Of course everybody wants to be liked by others, and their pictures photoshopped puts them in the light of ridicule. Of course they are going to do everything in their power to counter that. But that shouldn't make it ilegal.

    I know my responce is a little bit too serious, but for the love of everything that's holy; the internet is not a place (I read it on the internet), but it's a medium!

    That way we can shut those dead-tree-media (news papers) readers up. "Nah, you just read it on the internet so it's not true." -"Your newspaper is 'on' the internet too, so than your newspaper is wrong too? The internet is a medium, just like that collection of dead trees and ink you'r holding right now".

    False. Windows 7 had a sort of Windows XP vitrualised mode that Vista does not have. It's like Wine; some stuff works, some doesn't and some partialy, but it's probably an improvement over Vista.

    Utter bullshit... I dual boot Winshit XP with Linux. XP is faster and slower than Linux, and Linux is slower and faster than XP. Depends on what areas you look at. Then I installed the Windows 7 beta (Redmond, start your Kubuntu photocopiers this time!) and everything was a thousand times slower than XP and Linux together, except for the boot process, which I bet isn't a real one, since the first boot of the installed Win7 was loooooooooooong and all the others were somehow fast. 10seconds into the desktop.

    Installed Crysis to see how the DirectX 10 settings would measure up to the hidden DirectX 9 graphics that look just like DX10. Rofl... Now let's test high settings VS high setting on XP abd Windows 7. Guess which was framerate hell? Windows 7.

    My hardware:
    -AMD Phenom X4 9950 non-oc
    -ATI Radeon HD4870 X2
    -8GB Kingston RAM with perfect timings in the bios
    -Gigabyte Ultra Durable 2 motherboard with 128MB is onboard RAM for Vista fast-boot-shizzle, or something.
