ONE MORE THING: INDEPENDENT AMERICAN MUSIC IS SO FAR AHEAD OF ANYTHING spewed out in the UK clubs it's REDECULOUS. Screw you and your ACID MUSIC you stupid little freak. Go look for a band named Neutral Milk Hotel. there's some fine AMERICAN MUSIC. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE FUCKING HORSE SHE RODE INTO BAGHDAD ON.
Your 100% correct. They're well within in their rights and even moral obligations. However this is a perfect example of why I run debian (when I'm not running winxp for work). I dislike access to innovation being withheld (even if it will eventually be available). Now, I just need to reconcile that as someone who makes a living from software development.
I was actually referring to the desktop, and not the server. Once gnome 2.2 was released I moved over to linux for everything except games so that's probably colored my view of linux, such that I consider it to be a *good* desktop. (in many ways better than XP). I've already made the assumption that linux is a better server than MS. (Or at least those server tools and applications. Frankly I prefer the gnu tools available for solaris running on a sparc box with solaris..go support sunfreeware)
The point I made in the original post is that open source software will catch up with commercial closed source software at some point, servers and clients included. Once that happens MS no longer has a 'network effect' to rely on. Price and quality will determine the winners.
So it's ok for a government to subsidize private corporations that break the law?
Is it ok for a government to subsidize an individual criminal as well?
It's amazing the amount of money the government spends. The only way to cut government spending is not to eliminate programs wholesale, but to spend their money more efficiently. The government cant stop using wordprocessors/spreadsheets/email, but they can use openoffice/staroffice for free, so why should they pay for microsoft office?

No one said she was Jesus' mother.

Try this:

or

besides the theory of her actually being the true founder of the catholic church, there are other theories that she was Jesus' wife.
Look it up sometime
and if so are you the whore the church turned her into or one the disciples and Jesus' wife?
I'm a little sceptical. Could you elaborate on what functionality was removed from gnome that isn't available through gconf?
The Mozilla mail client (thunderbird).
After training it for about a week, I don't think I've had one false positive, and *very* few missed.
Plus the added benefit of it being less of a security risk for her as well.
Think drivers. Think booting only those operating systems of which the bios approves (in the name of security perhaps?).
Sorry, I'm anal.
The word is ridiculous. NOT rediculous.
It doesn't matter which side of the pond your on.
This from an American DRONE.

Holy shit. Thanks.
/me looks for his wallet..
Astro turfer or not, that site is awesome.
Did anyone read the article and think, that with the exception of saved searches and popup folders, that they're describing nautilus?
Really, the latest from debian unstable is very very good. very good.

gah. You are ridiculous, ignorant and shallow.
The minimum set of morals any citizen or corporation must subscribe to are those outlines by the state and federal law.
Holy cow, the parent was modded 5 (at one point).
ummm....LINUX RULES...OSS WILL RULE ALLL...VIVA LA REVOLUCION...
mod away my friends....
I don't think I'm neglecting anything.

Actually that's a very interesting counter argument.
I'm not sure that I believe it, but it's good.
The downfall of Microsoft isn't going to be caused by litigation.
It will be caused by offering an equal or superior product at a better or equal price.
Linux will be that product. It's not there yet, but it's inevitable that it will be at some point in the future.
Just as open source software will eliminate commercial software development as we know it today.
Wha?
Consider satellite radio for the quality of the programming and/or commercial free content.
This new ruling means you'll hear poor music, stupid djs and commercials clearly.
Satellite radio (as far as I've seen) provides good music selection clearly.
Allow me to start the flamewar then.
It's not out of line. The komplaining KDE kamp is full of kooks.
Why are you assuming that they've 'crippled' kde?
The KDE community needs to get a grip. Maybe they should change their license. Redhat can do whatever they please, within the bounds of that.
I'm using null right now. It's quite nice. I don't think anything is crippled.
mmm, thanks. I've been on both ends of the support nightmare.
It's been said before in this thread, but you're right.
When did crushing microsoft become a valid business model?
If thats the best option someone has to offer, they're in trouble. Hopefully, crushing microsoft is just a nice side effect.
oh, your such a smart tech-savy user support person. Those other people are such idiots..
*haw* *haw*
*yawn*
Arrogance is not a trait for successfull support.
Well, I modded you up because I had the same thoughts reading perens.
Too bad others thought you a troll.
When they block everything except port 80, thats all everything will use.

Don't be silly, thats Moshes middle name.
In that star wars, one of the most popular movie series in America is about a rebellion led by some quasi religious sect against the great empire.
Don't you fools see!! Lucas is with AL QAEDA. WE ARE THE EMPIRE. WE ARE THE EMPIRE....SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE...erm...wait a sec...wrong movie.
