  1. freebsd on RedHat 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    At least some significant *BSD stuff does get reported. Do you have anything particular in mind that wasn't mentioned here?

  2. Bullshit! (was: RMS doesn't matter) on egcs to become gcc · · Score: 1

    Yeah, free software was around RMS but there was no real "movement" as such, like there is today.

  3. Darling of the Linux world? on Red Hat IPO Rumors on news.com · · Score: 1

    Wow, another lifeform that turns into stone when exposed to daylight!

  4. RH gets bought -> Gnome soon dead on Red Hat IPO Rumors on news.com · · Score: 1
    Whilst it doesn't stop it from being free software, the new QT licence is pretty annoying, especially the patches clause.

    Whilst they say they are afraid of forking : the threat of forking is a good thing : whenever forking has happened in copylefted projects, it has been justified (emacs/xemacs fork, gcc/egcs fork). It means that the maintainers of the code don't start doing stupid things.

    It's the right of last resort.

    What do you mean, it existed before him? The term "open source" was only coined recently : Stallman has been advocating Free Software since the early eighties. There was no Free Software/Open Source movement before him.

    *sigh*

  6. Virgin Net does not charge for internet access on ISP Sues Spammer · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by that?

  7. filter on ISP Sues Spammer · · Score: 1

    Yeah, then what will happen is that spam will have your e-mail address in the "To:" field.

  8. plenty of example where that came from on Apple Opening QuickTime Code · · Score: 1
    If as a result of software becoming easier to use, we are all out of jobs, then thats a bit of a shame, but its better than the dishonest approach of artificially mainting crapness so we can con money out of people.

    Don't you think?

    Besides, people will always want customization and new features.

    You are possibly the most stupid person I've even seen, you know that?

    In the long run, people won't make money by selling distributions, they will move into support.

    We don't care about royalty checks, thats the whole point! Proprietary software is immoral.

    You seem to be missing the point totally.


    Go to GNU and
    do some reading.


    Don't come back until you fully understand everything there.

  11. but what about codecs? on Apple Opening QuickTime Code · · Score: 1
    They haven't leeched it if the licence allows them to do that.

    We wouldn't have licenced it under the licences we have done if we didn't want them to be able to do that!

    Moron!

  12. when to worry about RH on Red Hat's Certification Program Questioned · · Score: 1
    RedHat have seen the light : they fund quite a lot of GPLed stuff nowadays, and include hardly any proprietary stuff in their boxed set.

    It's Caldera we should worry about.

  13. Not too bad on Script Kiddy HOWTO · · Score: 1

    I thought it was pretty funny. Remember : it's a parody, the poor formatting is merely part of that parody.

  14. only 970 MB RAM = misconfiguration on NT faster than Linux in tests · · Score: 1

    If you think it's that important, feel free to fix it, making memory size a Makefile or config option and send a patch to Linus.
