I just listen to talk radio and news.. so I don't exactly know if the radio stations around here (SF / Bay Area) suck. I gave up on music radio when the rock station around here went all spanish with no warning.:/
I won't be buying any of the crap these record companies produce.. they complain about the lack of sales and blame the P2P users. Well, I haven't bought a CD since 2k and I doubt I will.
Note: I don't download their shite either. If it isn't on the radio.. I just won't hear it.
Again, this has exactly NOTHING to do with what I meant by "giving back". You didn't read what I wrote. I meant giving back to the community in that they should bloody let us PLAY the DVD's they use the software to create. I don't care about PHP,.net...etc..etc..etc..etc. I don't care about the friggin backend. I want SUSE, Redhat or whoever to be able to ship a DVD player that isn't going to get them sued out of existence. I want to play DVD's on my computer with sanctioned software. That's what I'm talking about.. this has NOTHING to do with the server or development end of the issue. Get it?! Got it?! Good. kthanxbye.
Does it play movies? No? Then as an end user I could care less about it. I'm talking about watching DVD's with a fully sanctioned player on my Dell laptop running SUSE. Start up the build of Xine or MPlayer that come with SUSE.. they are crippled because they fear being sued by the same people who use Linux to make the movies.
So whether or not they contribute code to programs that make or edit movies isn't much of a concern to me or any other end user.
They can do all these fancy graphics on Linux boxes but this same industry still doesn't support Linux users to view the end product. And when someone takes it upon themselves to do so.. they are taken to court and treated like thieves.
Screw Hollywood.. they use OSS software but do they give back.. nope. Not really.
And don't give me that shit about science proving the bible to be true. Science never proved that women are "unclean" when they have their period or that being gay is an abomination or that any whale could swollow a human.
Why is it when the truth is told that one is a bodypart that spews shit? You ever listen to those bozos that keep this silly debate over evolution going? They are the assholes. But then again it's not much better over here in Missouri.
It's pretty like this.. what they can't explain.. they explain away with spectres and spirits. *sigh*
What happens when these are not explained away as unthoughtout attacks.. since it's been 5 years that we've lived with Shrub and his adminstration. What would you call it when someone thinks it out very carefully? Then they come to the conclusion that a good part of the States and the World has been bent over and they didn't even buy them dinner first? It's not shrill to state the truth.. some can be shrill about it but the truth is the truth.
BooFUCKINGhoo! Some of us didn't and we have the right to speak. Get over it that we have the right to decent and to be critical of W. I'm sure you'd have been right at home living in Stain's USSR or Hitler's Germany.. but please don't tell others what they can and can not do... that is unless you make the law and can inforce it.
Huh? You compare a version of Windows with a version of MacOS with 11 years difference between them??! That's just silly. How about comparing Windows95 with the MacOS that was out in 95.. you'll find that Microsoft delivered features that Mac had in 1990.
Why do all NOT married readers of/. use that "get a girlfriend" line when we talk about buying new geek stuff. Is it a dis to women that they take up all time and money so if one has a girlfriend.. then one has no time or money for geek toys? I guess some of us married folk have time and money enough for both.;)
Well, since there is a project underway to develop a QT interface for OO then OO/QT will compile natively on OSX and all is well. KOffice never seemed to deal well with MS Office docs as far as saving them correctly but OO rocks..and with a QT UI for OO then QT/Mac will be the God sent for OSX users.:)
I wouldn't mind it either accept that the Yahoo! client for Linux is this UGLY GTK1 client. I mean come on..Gnome2 has been out for HOW LONG? The fonts are just unreadable. Besides..I agree that it's a PITA to have 4-7 clients running when one should do. They could even have modules from Yahoo! do what Yahoo! wants but still let protocol clients connect.
Note: the G5 uses the same bus and a lot of the chips in the chipset were created by AMD so an Opteron of the same speed running Linux is going to blast OSX since one of Opteron's co-designers was SuSE.:)
The G5/970 is a nice chip but please DO NOT pretend it's the end all be all.
Yes..and quite a few of those blue collar workers, some of them my friends morgaged their homes and went back to school to get degrees so that they wouldn't have to go through that again. Guess what..every industry that goes really strong in the U.S. seems to eventually get shipped overseas.
I read an article on CNN's website about 19 of 50 states have outsourced their call centres to India. So if an unemployed person calls about their check they are talking to someone in India. Sorry buddy but I don't like that use of tax dollars when someone here could do that job. But I guess since they do it at $200 a month instead of $2000 a month..it's ok. It saves money. They don't lower taxes because of it..they just shove the savings into another pork barrel.
I was never quite happy with U.S. companies be able to send blue collar jobs out of country and this doesn't set well with me either.
Mach is a kernel..and the rest of OSX is based on FreeBSD. What Jobs " abandoned was NeXT which was based on the Mach kernel. And he didn't even abandon it for very long..looks like all those Mac faithful are using it with a new GUI.;)

Yes, but I only listen to talk radio and news.. so I guess my ears won't bleed anytime soon. :)

Well, it works fine.
If they didn't have a Windows version of this as well.. I'd say yes. :)
Unless VISTA has Widgets like these.. then I'm not sure why Yahoo! spent this money.
It's the MACH kernel.. NOT FreeBSD's kernel.
Moron.
Yes. You don't think. This is true.
And don't give me that shit about science proving the bible to be true. Science never proved that women are "unclean" when they have their period or that being gay is an abomination or that any whale could swollow a human.
So piss up a rope. Moron.

I doubt it. She posed for Playboy not to long ago and WB/DC have had issues with this. We'll see.. but I doubt it.
Cheers!

/me puts on Steve Ballmer hat and shouts about Linux. " Our biggest threat is Linux on 64Bit Opterons "
o n!Opteron!Opteron!o n!
