the fact is that *you* shouldn't HAVE TO feel the need to crack their software.
That is fine if you are a mushroom! (You like to be kept in the dark and being fed shit) These companies promise security and you should be able to check if this is true. These kind of lists shouldn't be encrypted in the first place. Please don't start that shit about competitors copying their lists, you shouldn't be using these kinds of programs from comercial vendors anyway since they are not interested in a safe-web but in MONEY. A porn-free internet wouldn't be profitable to them.
What's going to happen when it goes public? Is god going to sue them for reverse enginering, hmmm could we use this as a prescedent against the mpaa? If Blair and Clinton can get away with it why can't we?
As a documentation writer, no one even remembers your name in the community.
You never heard of any of the 'great' writers in history, not even one? People who write good are usually good rememberd. Maybe isn't as much the case for just documentation but someone who writes good documentation will also get known!
You forgot to fill in the invariant, front-cover, and back-cover text.....

Thank God in Heaven, I am one of the 5% of the world's population that doesn't live in a third-rate country (i.e. not the USA).
Thank god I don't! (I live in The Netherlands and actually I don't believe in god....) To me the USA is one of the las countries I would like to live in.....
Or anyone else who doesn't subscribe to communist ideals. Incidentally I'm tired of people who point out the obvious communist slant of the Linux world being labelled as trolls or flamebaiters. It's the truth. At least admit it.
All right I admit, although I think it is more socialistic then communistic but you probably wouldn't know the difference...
ok, for now I don't really bother with RedHat, for as far as I can see out of the facts they are just the most successfull Linux distro at this moment. Some years ago Slack was the most successfull. Maybe in two years, Debian will be the most successfull, you'll never know.
So what? windows is the most successfull os at the moment, does that make it the best? To me people choosing RedHat just because it is popular are even more stupid then those using windows!
The problem isn't that Slackware didn't update, its that Redhat updated before things became stable! Slackware doesn't show around saying 'look we got the newest!' Just look at glibc, Redhat and others already shipped with it even before the developpers said it was stable.
Although sometimes I wish it used SysV init, I'm not installing many services, and I can do well enough just editing rc.local. SysV init just seems to be an excuse for distros like Red Hat to start up every service they can think of. And IMHO, most people DON'T need fscking sendmail running!
I hope they don't, because that will be the day I stop using slackware....... Hmmm maybe start a distro of my own.....
It ships with recent KDE and Gnome builds, as well as Windowmaker, enlightenment, Afterstep, right on down to fvwm2 and the ubiquitous twm.
twm rocks!!!! It is the fastest, most easy to install and maintain window manager I have ever seen (except from having xinit start a xterm instead of a wm;-)
If you want a 'easy' to configure system that has a script for everything you should use redhat. If you want a system that you can configure yourself and has its config files on logical places you should use SlackWare. SlackWare also tends to be more like a BSD system then a sysV.
I use Slackware by the way so I might be a bit biased.....
That's crap. Word, IE etc all start in new processes, the DLL memory sharing is done on ALL applications
Never heard of active desktop I suppose? Explorer is already started before you see icons on your desktop! Every folder you open is in fact an explorer window.... And microsoft can use undocumented features in the windows dll's that netscape can't!
Actually most microsoft programs are slower then the competition, the difference is the time they are loaded. Internet Exploiter is being loaded while you are watching clouds fly by a windows logo, while Netscape isn't loaded until you start it yourself. To most people this causes internet exploiter to look faster.
Netscape isn't as bloated as MS shit either, it doesn't come with a complete OS;-))
"There is no such thing as free internet" I am wondering we had free software, now we are getting free hardware (see opencores) what is next? free infrastructure...... A gpl'd fiber optic cable? If you think you can do better you just rip out the original and replace it, but you must let everybody use it.....
And it probably won't be fast either.... In the Netherlands were I live there are a lot of these so called 'free' providers they actually get payed by the telephone companies for providing customers. Most of them deliver crap and sell your personal info for 'marketing purposes'

I just hope he doesn't stop using tar.gz files, I would stop using slackware if he did!
But most importantly: usefullness!=easy-to-install
To me Slackware is the most usefull because I can modify the config files very easy!

I think the thought behind unix is so simpel and powerfull it will adapt to any system that might be used in the future.....

I use nfs for all my installs on cdrom-less systems (I only have one cdrom drive at the moment....)
Seems like slackware has the same exact interface when I first used it like 5 years ago.
Nice isn't it?????
