That should never be an option! And what do you know about Bush's budget perposal? Did you read it? Did you know he spent so much money he didn't have enough to fund his own homeland security, and millitary efforts. (ON THE PERPOSAL HER WROTE!!!!!!!!) Even after letting all the money out of public schools, to fund private schools, and slashing social programs. Lame! That tax cut to the ultra-rich sure helped out too.
Funny how in the last four years my taxes went up, and I lost my health coverage, but I'm sure 40,000,000 americans can feel me on that.
All I have to say is that you republicans voted wrecklessly.
Your degree in EE doesn't mean you know anything about political science. You're 23; you'd be amazed what you don't know. (I'm sure you think you're a hot shot) I don't mean to be insulting, but claimed education in applied science and math, hardly equals clout in a political discussion. Sorry.
I wonder who Chomsky voted for? If you want to talk about educational achievement.
As far as whether or not the Republican party officials had a hand in an over abundance of unaccounted votes in key battle ground states, I would never underestimate power hungry politicians in an election year. Remember this is the same group of folks who pulled Watergate.
I sure you didn't read this, but Walden O'Dell CEO of Diebold inc, the company contracted by the Republican controlled government to manufacture voting machines was one of the leading contributors of soft money the Bush campaign. Should he be fund raising in a election for ANYONE!? In a letter he is quoted as saying [I am] "committed to helping Ohio deliver it's electoral votes to the president next year."
P.s. You're on the dark side of the force, say hi to the emperor for me.
Go to school if you'd like to become institutionalized, and heaped up with more debt than you've ever known. If you're lucky, you'll find a job you hate, a wife who will devorce you once you hit 40, and all crap that goes along with that. The other option is to no not inroll in a school, get high all the time, and watch your life burn out before your own eyes. With any luck, you'll still have the devorce and debt.
Sounds more like the begining of the end to me.
Point is, you sound like every other person I've ever talked to. "I'm so smart, but I don't like to work hard, and I don't know what to do with my life"
It can also be said that windows lends it's self to more frequent "attacks" do to it's general accessability, and lack of security.
Blaming the community of users who use a compeating product is a pretty weak claim.
Granted while this hacker who wrote this email virus, may choose to use linux over windows, would prove my point about windows security in it's self.
When I was a teen, and first learning to code, even I tinkered around with code thats only perpose was to distroy to computer it was run on. But now that I'm an adult, it doesn't make linux the official operating system of internet thugs.
IMO (ie right) People talk about operating systems too much.
I'm sure this will result in great karma, but seriously...
FUCK THE RIAA!
She's 12! 12! AHHHH! WTF is this world comeing to!? If this girl got caught stealing CDs in her home town you know she wouldn't be fined anywhere near that much money. So this settlement is a load of crap, I just hope that their lawyer will see threw this crap and actualy try and fight it, because any reasionable judge would just give her the old "first timer" warning.
Trust me I got into some trouble as a kid, and I know how it goes. Besides, she's twelve, she's a minor, they can't toutch her.
Uniform gui is a dumb idea. Point-less. Given enough development time and resources any one of them will become mature enough the be the obvious choice. IMO(ie right) The UIs (gnome, kde, wm) should become even more deverse, giving people a real reason to use one over the other. Not saying it should be this way but it's the only real life example I can think of... Perhaps KDE should continue to go down the path of MS-esk UI style to try and draw more of the windows croud over. Gnome should move down the MacOS X path of the balance of eye candy and usablility. You'd be surprized at how many people actualy would switch to somthing that just looked better that when they are using. You know, "the grass is always greener" thing. But still I see plenty of room for small foot-print/speedy little windows managers such as WindowMaker, for hardcore-speed geeks, and minimalists. I even see those WMs having a place in next gen PDAs.
The point is, it's fine... Don't worry about mom and pop switching to linux. Some one will come along (like the lindows folks) and make a distro just for them. The point of GNU/linux is that you can tweek it out, or you can build a dumbed disro for computer dummies, but you don't need to go around re-inventing the wheel.
I do agree that it should be made a little easier for the "rest of us" but not at the expence of absolute conformaty, thats what the bad guys did, and it sucks.
Whatever! Sounds to me like he had smacked his would-be wife over the head with a club, and was about to drag her back to his cave, when three ninjas jummped out from behind a rock and started freeking out. Sadly ninjas live the life of the sword, and came to a fitting end. Even if this sword was just a pointy knife.
cups, having to emulate scsi to get a cdr drive to work, a lack of decent audio apps, oss, insecure services. Yeah ssh, apache, qmail rock, but why does ftp, pop3, and smtp have to be so god damn insecure. iptabels can also be a bitch some times.
Don't get me wrong I love Linux and all it's plesures. Fact remains that I can't write techno (easily) in linux, or do any pro-audio studio work.
I find my self rebooting to the dark OS to run buzztracker, soundforge, and cubase.
Seems like Like SCO's System V Code is alot like Bush's WMD, a bunch of bull shit.
Are they talking about the kernel option to run system v binaries, because sco didn't write that. I thought that it was just "emulating" system v based off the tech docs given to linux kernel developers to write the support. Hardly IP.

I'm an internet veteran, so much so that when I first saw a web-browser I thought "This really isn't as good as a bbs with fido-net" Eventualy I started using links (now lynx, eventualy netscape/mozilla). Point is, I've never spent a dime (out side of ebay, and hardware venders) online. And I sure as hell wont spend a dime on content. It pisses me off that I have to cough up 40 bucks a month for my cable modem.
Give up on making money off the internet, and start developing new useful inovations, insted of thinking of new ways to beat a dead horse.
For what? The the hell are your offering me? Nothing! I work at a non-profit, THATS WHY WE USE LINUX IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT'S FREE! Shit microsoft only charges $350 and they actualy wrote most/all of their os.
I think I need to start employing this buiness model, I'll find a popular software project and start telling all the customers that they owe me money for doing nothing. Nice.
If anyone desirves any money for this it's linus, and his crack team of developers, not crappy old SCO.
That's great. As much as I love the gimp and all of it's gtk goodness. As a graphic designer it really isn't quite good enough. Bummer it has to run in wine. I hope this shows adobe the interest to have their tools run in linux.
I hope macromedia gets hip to linux as well.. I could have illistrator, photoshop, and flash, I'd be one happy camper!
Being the biz world's poster child for linux, they basicly have to counter suit to maintain the validity of the kernel.
Though I often trash talk redhat for not quite being what I want in a distro, I have to give them a pat on the back for this. kudos to ibm as well, though I'm not happy about them sending so many developer jobs over seas.

Or am I the only one who love my sp more than the ds? I just kinda hated the early 3d console aera, n64 sucked.
I think I'm going to sit tight with my sp, buy up some cheap games, and then switch to psp when it comes out.
No.
That should never be an option!

btw, how did this crap ever get posted.
Why did I install community on this box last night!?
I would have bought a copy. And I almost never pay for things.

IMO (ie right) People talk about operating systems too much.
Now with this use(less)full knowledge I'm so going start tweeking my linux system out for performance.
Isn't that the first thing you do right after you load the os off the disk?
I'm sure this will result in great karma, but seriously...
