  1. Re:for (i=1;i++;) on Orrin Hatch to Lead Senate Panel on Copyright, Patents · · Score: 0

    I'll bite on this one. I vote LP and here is why.

    The left is all over the map depending on who gives the money. At least the right has some "core values" that the politcos cannot take away such as school choice, limiting abortion and anti-gun control.

    Issues such as gay marriage, c/states//civil rights, balenced budgets and drug law shows how much of a mess the right is in as well.

    What is a "liberal or progressive"? Most on the right want school choice which sounds like a "liberal" idea to me.

    Heres a "progressive" idea for you, how about that state not being involved in marriage at all? My union with my wife was a act of God and it sickens me to have the state have any sort of legal authority over it. There is something like 500 extra contract and tax right that being married gives you in this country. The notion of granting more rights to someone that is married as opposed to someone that is single should be ruled unconstitutional. Try getting the state out of marriage rather than keeping this insane unequal application of the law that is marriage going. Whats next? Why can't a marriage be three people? Should all three not have the same rights? The state being involved in my marriage which is a union before God is on part with a 1st amendment violation of the establishment clause.

    The states run the education system. Its just the federal government that shoves money at the problem. When has throwning money in to a fire every helped to put the flames out.

    This is true. Whats odd is that it will pass if the Wine key is set and version = WinXP.

    You would think Microsoft could have come up with a better check such as talking to a device driver or something.

    It also does not give you the right to install Internet Explorer but it comes with Office 2000 and XP. What am I not allowed to install IE with the copy of Office paid for under CrossOver, Wine or ReactOS?

  9. ReactOS also has the Wine registry key on Microsoft Admits Targeting Wine Users · · Score: 4, Informative

    We share a lot of Win32 code with Wine as we just build the Wine dlls for Windows and make drop in replacements for ReactOS. The Wine WinMM.dll uses the Wine key and as such ReactOS will fail the check as well.

    You can already run OpenMosix on Windows. Just install CoLinux and run it as a service on the Windows box and you can use the spare CPU cycles as part of a Linux cluster.

    seeing as it has limited hardware or software support under Windows CE if they must have a Windows-like OS then we could get ReactOS running on it.

  20. Slashdot - Trying to have it both ways.... on Service Pack 1 for Windows Server 2003 · · Score: 0

    I wish Microsoft would change they way they manage the company. I also wish they would put all of Windows under the GPL. Neither of these things will happen but once again I am forced to defend something Microsoft is doing.

    For years people bitched about Microsoft security which was in fact due to the lack of wanting to break with backwards compatiblity. Now after many years Microsoft is starting to slowly break things to be more secure and they get nothing but shit from people here.
