It is okay to break a law if you don't agree with it. It's called civil-disobedience. Without it, we'd still have laws segregating whites and blacks in the United States. I'm not advocating commiting murder because you disagree that it's immoral to lock up murders, and I don't think anyone is.
I do, however, think it is stupid just to follow whatever laws are made for us. Lawmakers make laws FOR US, and if we don't stand up, then we won't get the laws we want.
Monterey was the joint effort of IBM, SCO, and two others to port a high-end, enterprise class unix to Itanium (IA-64). The excitement driving the buzz was that Monterey looked like the migration path for AIX.
That's because most people aren't willing to pay 50 dollars just to perform a minor task, such as unzipping a file, burning CDs, decoding MP3s, wiping files off your computer, creating a printable directory tree (all of these are windows related things.). That's quite a bit of money. The difference between shareware and music, is that if you buy a CD, you actually have something. You have a CD, which is playable in a lot of places, and you have the packaging for the CD. If you give a shareware author money, all you get is the right to use their product. All you have is a string of bits on harddisk. I definitly prefer packaged, solid goods, and would choose them over non-packaged things. (for example, i bought a prepacked linux distribution instead of downloading one)
I don't know about airplanes, they seem alright, as they cause more deaths, but we definitly need to stop saving so many people. Whatever happened to natural selection? Sure, a select few die, but we making it increasingly hard for the morons to be seeded out. The decline of the human race will be due to our insane need to save everyone. Evolution will stop, and De-evolution will begin. In a few generations, all people will basically be stupider versions of apes.
Why is it that stories that seemingly have no relation to linux at all can be used to advocate linux? "Delete that piece of shit MacOS off your newly tuned iMac, and put on Linux (for which there is even less software than x86 Linux).
Slashdot fucking sucks, you Linux fanatics are morons. You're all for freedom of choice, unless you choose something other than linux, because, of course, if you choose something besides linux you are horrible misinformed.
Moderate me down if you want, but I fail to see how legitimate complaint could qualify as a troll or flamebait...
How does one get to the archived stories? The search engine thing only shows articles that're like 2 months old. Sorry to ask, but i seriously have no clue how to find the old articles...
Um..check this out. I went to McDonald's and they had an ad up saying that they were hiring too! Wow...I was gonna apply there, but now I think I'll work at microsoft instead.
So, the video won't play on linux, that doesn't mean this article is worthless. Not everyone uses linux, and not all 'news for nerds' is linux related. The article was NOT posted as flamebait or a joke...it was posted because Hemos thought the video was funny. Not everything revolves around linux. Your lives may, but most peoples' don't!
Slashdot Mirror
The previous post should be moded up +1 Insightful, please take this step or I will be forced to sue, thank you...

Looks like Linux inherits all that buzz.
Whoop

Isn't it odd that Microsoft is listed as a contributor to the MPAA's legal trust?

This idea kicks serious ass! Oh, wait, nevermind, linux sucks. Forget what I said, your idea is terrible, you deserve to die.
This comment being in reply to the polio vacine remark. Of course, I'm also not in support of genetic manipulation...

If you could read, you'd see that it clearly says that Be is written in C, "not C++." Thus, your criticism was pointless/wrong.
jesus moderators, this should be marked FUNNY not TROLL. This just proves HOW FUCKING STUPID THE MODERATORS ARE.
Now they will no doubt waste time and points moderating me down....
Yes, and writing a haiku (something that is NEVER funny) for the point of getting moderation points. Somewhat hypocritical, don't you think?
FUCK YOU ALL
ehhh..you have a -10 karma, what's to lose?
why'm i doing this?
hmmm...
let's try something..
Actually, she is quite ugly...
I AM SATAN! (okay, maybe i'm not)
This is the best comment I've seen all day!
Please don't waste moderation points on me..
This is just Jon Kats doing his Andy Kaufman type bit. He's just trying to piss you all off because he enjoys the negative response/attention.
It probably doesn't hurt that he's making slashdot quite a bit of money in ad revenues.
Oh and I suppose it's not truely ironic..but we'll just say Kats is doing this for the sake of irony...
It seems they forgot linux...
(if you moderate this down, this will be the ultimate proof that moderation simply doesn't work..)

Thanks, in advance, to whoever answers...
Anyone who invests in any publicly traded company owns part of that company. That's the entire concept behind public trading.
Um..check this out. I went to McDonald's and they had an ad up saying that they were hiring too! Wow...I was gonna apply there, but now I think I'll work at microsoft instead.
That situation is pretty similiar, right?
