"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
Your missing the point. While being in business you never neglect a potential market. They did NOT right the drivers. They simply provided documentation along with an NDA (did you read the email?). For them to totally avaoid such a potential market with little work makes me think they were paid off. That is why I believe that M$ has a strategy of buying off vendors. NO Doc's on hardware for Open Source developers means no drivers. Which means Linux is DEAD.
Simple... buy off enough Video card manufacturers to not open their drivers. I bet this is a trial balloon!
Think of it! How far can Linux get on the desktop without decent Xfree86 drivers in the future... not far at all... NO GAMES, NO 3D EXCEL... Linux is dead:-(
Exactly... do you think it is a coincidence? NOPE! I am willing to bet that they whored themselves to M$ for the rights to call it CyberBladeXP.
I do think the parents post is funny, but it is probably more interesting than anything else. What would they have to gain by closing the doors to the people that write drivers to help them increase market share?
Do you think we're that stupid. Nothing is FREE. The only reason we have Linux for FREE (as in beer and speech) is because better people than I are giving there time to a great cause. The only reason M$ hands things out for free is to create dependency on their product. Once the have dependency on something, they will start putting the financial screws to you. I don't blame them for this, hell it is a great way to make money, but don't pander to us with your stupid simple-minded metaphors.
I am in the process of reloading my w2k system from scratch.... why????, because for the longest time I ran winamp to play my mp3's, and it sounded just fine. After installing (I am unsure which one) some service pack with the MS Media player playing mp3's with winamp became horrible, while the MS media player sounded just fine (like winamp used to sound before the patches). I don't know for sure if one of these patches hurt winamp, but I am going to find out. I have already had several friends ask me what happened to the music quality from my computer. Has anyone else experienced such a phenomenon? It wouldn't surprise me to find out that installing the newest MS Media Player crippled one of the api's going out to the sound card.
Nobody should be talking about how to break this until someone can confirm a title that has this problem. Fellow/.'ers lets stay focused... I know we all suffer from some sort of ADHD!! I will go out and buy the CD tonight if someone can confrm it.
The parent post is briliant. I am high. Now I see the brilliance of his statement. What is Jon Katz but a tool to insight posts. I give complete props to any troll that insigts commentary from our fellow/.'ers.
props to all/.'ers! We are part of the information revolution.

The US plane did nothing wrong. It is now known that the US plane was on autopilot at the time of the collision. I am a pilot and I can tell you that any turns/descents/climbs while on autopilot are done very slow and stable. If the US apologizes it will be a slap in the face of every single wo/man in the armed forces. This is not a pissing match. It is a hostage situation brought about by a communist country that will lie every chance it can get. Don't by Chinese manufactured goods. One would think that the images of what happened to the young people in Tieneman square would be enough... Why in hell does anyone think the US is even remotely at fault for this situation

Bob, I work for a large corporation looking to run virtual instances of Linux on an s390. Currently there is no s390 offering from RedHat. With the support IBM is throwing behind Linux (porting applications and money), what is the strategy for deploying RedHat on the s390 if any? I only ask this because we may move massive amounts of infrastructure (NT File sharing etc.) to the Big Iron on Linux... In fact I believe it is in this manner that may allow Linux one of the biggest breaks into big corporations.

If capitalism works, why are there so many stupid rich people?
Could you explain this better please? I don't want to start a economics flame war, so I would appreciate politeness. I think capitalism works better then any other model for human management currently being deployed. I don't know any stupid rich people, in fact I believe what mostly separates the rich from the poor in capitalism is education. The beauty of capitalism is that it moves resources (money) to the innovative. Just looking for a friendly debate.

I must admit... I have not written software for CDROMs... so I may be missing something, but I did write software for mass storage devices, tape drives etc... I was able to make the drive behave in almost any fashion I wanted; because the API was low enough. I must believe that one could write software that would force the CDROM to behave differently, maybe not. Most of the devices would allow you to subvert their standard behavior. I must admit though that I did this programming 5 years ago, and maybe hardware vendors are giving tighter SDK's to programmers. If at all possible I would like someone who has written software like cdparanoia to explain why this IS NOT possible to correct in software.
---------- No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
Anything that can be done in hardware can be done in software. Just slower. It will be a matter of hours after the release of this CD when some piece of software version 0.01 will be released that will make this protection obsolete. I am telling you that if a normal CD player can read these CD's a computer will be able to also. Just not the way your CDROM is currently set up.

This is not by choice. I work for a large manufactoring company. I once had Linux running on my desk top computer (dual boot), but when my mother board failed and the desktop support people remounted my HD in a new machine they noticed Linux was an option at boot time. They informed my manager that I was running "un-supported" software, and they would not continue to support me if I did not remove Linux. Actually I did not need to remove it, they did it for me. Anyway to make a long story short... I SURE AS FUCK HATE RUNNING Windows... HATE IT WITH A FUCKING PASSION! I wish so much that I could be writing this post at home from my nice Linux box with Mozilla! I am forced to visit this site running WinBlows, and IE5!
