The funny thing is that it really works. At least here. We had an election on sunday over here in Bavaria/Germany and I was really interested in the position of the current government (wich I elected last time) so I wrote an E-mail to their homepage and although it was in the middle of their campaign I got an answer from them after 3days. I found this really surprising. Someone took the time to READ my letter, investigate on the subject (they didn't really know about swpats before, I suppose) and REPLY personally. Their position was a bit blahblah since they wanted my vote but at least they answered. That made me a bit more confident in our government.
Must have been my subconcious again. I wrote lunix intentionelly but wasn't sure why, thought it looked cool. I guess something in the back of my mind remembered the real lunix. Funny.
Yes, that sounds sweet. But honestly I must admit that this Amiga 1200 on my desk looks sweet and it runs lunix just fine. I guess those 8bit days are over. Future IS now.

Here in Munich we have, rather new, Transport-Authority automats that run Win2k. I saw one of them bluescreen a few days ago. Well, those things can change money. So maybe they are a valuable target for an overflow as well. I might get into this a bit next time I'm bored and bump into a drunken MVV employee.
I always knew it. World War III won't start in Iraq, or Afghanistan or wherever. It will start from a flamewar on/.
btw to heat up the discussion a bit: Once a friend of mine had some visitors from the U.S. and we showed them around town and they seemed to like what they saw. Then the other day we wanted to take them to Dachau and they replied: "Well, Munich is all nice and stuff, but we don't really appreciate what you are doing to the jews!" - Those folks believed we were still holocausting the jews, all the time. Wow, that was creepy!
Can't we all just get along? I mean, with the munich Oktoberfest starting on saturday, why don't you come over to munich (yup, the same who run Linux on their cities desktops) and have a drink or too?
We could hang out and play "Raid over Moscow" on my Commodore 64 (no broadband yet, sorry) and enjoy some cold war nostalgia when we all stood side by side against the communists...ahh, those were the days...;-)
I know that, of course. Funny thing is it's really a good synonym for "decent orbit planets with athmosphere". I think everyone knows what I mean. And if I can't use that term on/. wherelse?;-)
We can still send our DNA to Mars. But after the third try we might run out of Class-M Planets in our Solarsystem. Jupiter as next shot might be waaay too heavy for us.
But, hey, we could still build underwater cities (Man! Afaik we were promised them anyway by 2000) on Europas Oceans and try again (the Jupiter moon, folks, the continental jokes are exhausted!).
There MUST be a climate cold enough to stand greenhousegases.
Well, you got it all wrong. AOL is not for people who want to connect to the Internet. It was never intended to. It's for people who like living in golden cages or disneyland. That's what it's for. Basically it's a LAN with a popup-forcing adselling-machine. No way would anyone use it to surf the web. The Internet was thrown in as added value in the mid90s when the "superinformation highway" was the buzzword of the day. Much the same as today they are inclduing spamfilters that are substandard. It's all about the hype.
I would even tend to suspect that the Illuminati are involved (ever recodgnized the pyramid logo?). It must be some sort of conspiracy, after all they act like a newage-church giving away all those free CD-ROMs.;-)
Sorry, but has anybody ever thought of getting rid of the RIAA? I mean, just stop buying CDs now and forever. I did two years ago. All Im saying is musicians WILL continue to make music, wether they have their giant publishing network or not. Spend your money on your local bands, join their concerts, buy their vinyl because its beautiful, wear their T-Shirts and promote them to your friends. And they will be happy with you downloading their free music from their homepage. If you stop buying commercial music now we might get rid of one of the worst witchhunts in modern history. If you are what I call a sane person you dont share via the internet anyways. Your friends might fit your taste of music much better, share among them, its legal btw.;-)
and you will be set. Look, my Mom and most coworkers here never use a filemanager. They work in their home-directory on the Lan and open and save their file from whatever application they are using. Personally I found that most of them use Outlook as their "Filesystem" of choice since they can search an assosciate comments with files (aka attachements). If the Gnome FileDialog would be innovative and functional (I love GNOME, but this special part is a pita.) this could replace all Database/FS overlays. Its neat to search for files in plaintext but after all its just another Nautilus feature and not a whole new Filesystem approach. Just my opinion...
I learned a new word in english today. Yup, thats what it gave me, too. Wow! Nice spot! In Germany we call it "Gansehaut". That spot is pretty good on the emotional level but also sums up the idea of OS pretty well for the average Joe. Good job, BigBlue.
I'll tell you what: Quit! A friend of mine worked for Caldera/Germany back when they were a Linux Company. He quit because SCO was hurting his OpenSource ideals. Well, he can afford, though. His parents are filthy rich and he made his first million during dotcom.
Sigh, those were the days. At least someone I know got all my money now.

1. You stole my post. I wanted to be the first one to state that it is "butt ugly" since it really is. Sorry, this looks like one of those Win3.11 apps. 2. The mockups we saw for Evolution (in my first accepted slashdot story btw;-) indeed looked much nicer. But maybe that just because I'm a Dropline-GNOME zealot and KDE-apps always look substandard to me.

Chromium needs GL to run.
And some people like to show off their GL-Savers too.
