A well configured, usable search utility
for the net would have obviated much of
the dot coms business flaws, e.g. the
wealth of money that is silently channeled
through VC to dot coms by the entertainment
industry was secretly laundered by the media
companies - they were vesting an interest
in people not finding anything, weren't they?
So, we had fallacies like 'online advertising'
and 'media coverage of the internet' which
amounted to nothing more or less than an
annoyance at best. The era of zillion dollar
domain names and dot com ads on tv is dead.
And at a terrific, debilitating cost to
the VC's that funded these now-bankrupt adventures.
But I would like to add one thing: its
not whether or not there is only one pet
store, on the net. It's going to be
whether or not there is 50 million pet
stores on the net.
The net is a natural extension of mans
ability to communicate. Removing this
natural, everyday capability from its
current constraints of 'having to check
your email in 30 minutes' at a 'desktop
computer', and creating a world in which
your internet information search and retrieve capability is by definition also a business
space. We buy things with our cell phones.
we research things with our cell phones,
we are able to live better with the capability
of being able to exchange data with one another,
and retrieve it from wherever we are.
Walk up to someone, in a world where
if they are carrying a cellphone and
a whisperpiece , assume have a click trail on you and see how much more profitable the 'liberators
of sexual imagery' are than the ecommerce
companies. The internet should not be totally
anonymous, impersonal or divorced from
humanity. Its isolated islands of commerce,
and community will one day join. And ecommerce
will take off when we can buy things will our
cellphone. The 'privilege' of having a website,
will be taken one day as a HUMAN RIGHT.
I get so tired of ignorant people. Idiot serbs take up for their crazed dictator leader. Russians don't even realize that its is almost the start of another holocaust. They are all damned idiots that don't even realize the US is stepping in to try to stop the next world war / holocaust from happening. Frankly, I think I will be glad when we don't have to live on the Earth. (Who says I'm talking about other planets?) Human nature makes me sick, at least the Americans in charge of this situation are the most mature of all of them involved.
maybe if you would work on trying to remembe what you just read, you would be able to see that i mentioned the 2.1.x crap. and you call that 'fast'? lol.
to "Thank god! You guys are AWESOME!". Needless to say, the truth is in there somewhere. We've gotten a lot of very constructive thoughts
from www.redhat.com, sure redhat is ok, but i don't like anyone (or anything) that has this attitude. redhat used to be good, redhat 4.2 and such, now its a monster that wants money money money (sharing similar traits to that of microsoft). did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
so there may be "ms office" for linux? i'm sure some people will use it, i sure as hell won't, i have no trust for that company. don't you remember how windows98 deletes/messes up a linux partition when you install it? gates should be stoned.:|
this is starting to suck. linux doesn't need all this pathetic commercialism. why is everyone so freaked out about graphical UIs? Does anyone that KNOWS how to use a computer want a point and click OS? now there is some "advisory board" for linux.com. how much more ridiculous can this get. there's nothing wrong with linux the way it is now, who cares if "the whole world" starts to use it, including the idiot MiCrOsOfT TeChNiCiAnS. i actually like being one of the select few that are "enlightened" to the linux way. i think the media is messing linux up, so infatuated with stupid graphical ui's because they don't know how to start a program without clicking away. ok more linux users is good, i guess. but i bet even Linus would agree that the commercialism springing up is making him sick. also, what's up with gnome 1.0, a release (supposedly) tomorrow, wednesday march 3, 1999?! when i had.99.8 it crashed 24/7. who wants the blind media to get their first 'real' impression of a linux desktop as one that crashes just as much as windows? oh i really hope it was just my crappy box and all the damned stuff i have installed that caused it to crash. a few months ago, linux was this amazing thing that i worshipped, now its getting a different face on. don't get me wrong, i still love linux, but i get this wierd feeling when i ponder all that has been happening lately concerning linux. flames, why would there be any, will be ignored just so you don't waste your time or something, something inspiring to me will be nice though;)
i really don't care, i know that my system runs like a dream (which is what linux is), it was so hilarious, i was in a computer lab this morning, this girl beside me was in windows, and it crashed twice, in just 15 minutes. One time it was because "Windows is out of virtual memory!" and who knows the other time it just blue screened and then she reboot. All she was doing was viewing websites in MS IE. If people want to use an OS that crashes, i don't care, i know i've got the best one, i guess they just like their crashes and half-assed control over their computer with a PoInT aNd ClIcK oS. my 3 cents is better than your 2 cents.
EVER SEEN such a stupid essay. this is truly showing how PATHETICALLY stupid ZDNET is. lol, "MAJOR UNIX FLAW" LOL, HAHAHAHA god this is hilarious. Will Microsoft squash Linux like a bug -- or can it stand up to the big boys from Redmond? LOL BIG BOYS FROM REDMOND lol zdnet is so pathetic hhahaahaha of course they have to be scared too... when microsoft falls over all the way, they will be out of business... sure as hell noone wants them endorsing linux.
to read when i woke up and got my paper this morning. but i'm somewhat concerned about this "1.0" because last time i tried to compile ORBIT, it wouldn't work... that was just a few days ago.:/
no, the person will switch isp's and get a cable modem, all the isp's offering dialup only will die. but don't worry this isn't what you people think, you wont get charged for the calls to your isp. sheesh.
no, you are wrong. it will be labeled long distance, but we wont be charged. damn i hate these idiots who know nothing and post. btw, i know cause my brother works for my isp.
i agree with his point too, AND his mean spiritedness. SCREW ALL THE PEOPLE WITH MONITORS BIGGER THAN 14 inches. Damn life sucks. screw everyone with a better computer system than a pentium 100mhz with 32megs ram... but at least my sound owns, awe64 hooked up to my 7 speaker surround sound AIWA. *jumps around to 39bogomips of processing power*
of the one or two times i saw mystery science theater blah blah, i thought it was some joke show. now i find out that people actually like it, and i can't get this twilight zone music out of my head.:(
i know how you feel, i get to think this mozilla stuff is a joke myself. heck there is even a window maker theme called mozilla, yet barely anyone uses it, or can even get it to compile, cause the cvs is always so broken, and who wants to download the source from ftp that hasnt been updated in 3 months. "pFFT."

lol.
what was that major tcp exploit thats in 2.2.1 through 2.2.3, even some 2.1.x kernels?
sounds like microsoft's 'stable'
isn't it funny how this 2.2.x series is labeled 'stable'?

didn't you know this isnt a real news site, because it contains 0% journalism?
... i mean whats the big deal with them why is everyone so freaked out.. (i dont know what they will enable/disable/do) someone tell me! :>
why don't you goto news.com (a real news site), they explain it in lamens terms.
:>
this is good news, something else to get the blind windows users over to the linux side.

Curiosity killed the cat.
^- what i saw after all the files on ftp.jimpick.com had been deleted in the 1.0.0pre dir, in the README.
lamer.
of the one or two times i saw mystery science theater blah blah, i thought it was some joke show. now i find out that people actually like it, and i can't get this twilight zone music out of my head. :(
why in the world do you think they 'cruise porn sites'?
man you are smart.
can you feel the sarcasm in the room?
i know how you feel, i get to think this mozilla stuff is a joke myself.
heck there is even a window maker theme called mozilla, yet barely anyone uses it, or can even get it to compile, cause the cvs is always so broken, and who wants to download the source from ftp that hasnt been updated in 3 months. "pFFT."
when you get spam from people and it has like, where to send the money for something... just go there :>
pay them a nice visit... *smACK*
