    Soon we will have MSX which will be very similar to Windows XP except without the pee, and similar to OSX except its an M instead of an O.

    I think "The Economist" is doing rather well right now (I dont feel like digging up the citation sry). I think its about the only print news media doing well though.

    disclaimer: I dropped my subscription to The Economist this month because the "paper" shows up in my mailbox a week after printing.

    I would argue that you don't need any of it. It's debatable whether news media really makes better democracies.

    That was sort of dumb of you. The answer to ANY request an RIAA person has for you is "no"... not some big shpeel about "how you sue people who know stuff". Just say No and be done with it.

    Eg.
    Q:Could you help me flash my NintendoDS?
    A:No

    Q:Could you find me the latest cd on thepiratebay?
    A:No

    Q:Could you grab me a coke?
    A:No

    Q:Could you call 911 since I am about to go into cardiac arrest?
    A:No

    Q:Could you stop aliens from kidnapping my children?
    A:No

    Q:Could you give me the time of day?
    A:No

    See, its easy.

    I'd like a stripped down ubuntu.

    I like ubuntu because its easy and it "just works" (tm). But a stripped down ubuntu would be "easier" and "just works better" for a lot people.

  16. Remove Open Office too please on GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with getting a slimmer installation. I'd like to get rid of OO.org from the default install too. Hell, get rid of everything non-essential, then have a "desktop-user-experience" package which installs people's most commonly used utils.

  19. Re:No biggie on OS X Update Officially Kills Intel Atom Support · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think it's a dick move to think you can install OS X on any machine when the company creating the OS specifically has stated that it is for their hardware. And just because it is possible, does not make it moral.

    Really? Thats weird! You actually think that using a product in an unexpected but non-harmful way is immoral?

    I knew that people like you existed, but not here on the slashdot, where the explorers and hacker ethos is celebrated.

    you forget that there is a full "non-upgrade" version of snow leopard.

    I am also not asking them to "support" my hardware, I am expecting that they do not purposefully break said system that already works.

    whether I would win a court case or not, this is a dick move.

    WTF do you mean Stolen? I _bought_ my porsche engine. They sell the engine separately and w/o any attachment to a car. They do not label the engine as "replacement."

    Porsche has no business telling me that I cant install the engine in whatever car I want to. They don't have to help me do it, but they cant stop me from building my own car around the porsche engine which I used my hard earned money to buy.

    If they specifically cripple the engine so that it doesn't work unless its attached to a porsche branded car then thats sueworthy... especially if they somehow change the engine AFTER purchase!
