giving us ONLY rpms is not a good way to introduce your software either. I could care less about their code, but hmm no RH no winamp....

"Microsoft's request addressed only issues related to judicial conduct. The company said it reserved the right to seek review on other issues at a later date."
What we have been working on lately has been
alfs, which is Automated LFS. It works real
nice as all you need at that point is the
alfs backend and a profile to make the installation automagical. The profile is just
a simple XML format that describes in XML
objects the same process you use to build LFS.
(ie. configure, make, make install, etc).
Nice thing about alfs is that you just have
to learn the XML syntax to make your own profiles.You could make a profile(ie your own distro, or specific nasa-worker) or just about anything.
You could put this all on a cdrom and use it that
way, or more preferably you could do it through
your network.... For a cd you would need the
source packages, probably could use up through
chap 5 in LFS on your cdrom, with perl and some
extra alfs perl modules, and really that should be it.
Stick it in a drive, run alfs and the profile
and watch it go to work. You could also chroot
your cd enviroment to make sure it worked etc.
before you burnt the cd...
Well I would surely like to see the White
House lawyers explain to the DJ I met at
a reception this last weekend that,
A computer is not a
a digital audio recording device
a digital audio recording medium
Sure did look like one and worked like one.
I'm not defending Napster one way or another
on this, but more so ?I am worried about our fair-use rights for using our pcs as a
digital audio recording device or medium.
If you read the brief, it seems that all you
have to is put a "Napster" in it's own special
internet device only, and then have a "Napster"
company pay the RIAA like consumer electronic
device companies do....
So what is this going to do really? I mean I
watched all of the cspan segment with the FBI
and they explained how it worked.
The sniffer takes the stream, makes a copy,
releases the originial stream back to it's
destination and then takes the copy, applies
it's "filter", gets their "traffic" and then
"throws the rest away".
But the problem is no one is going to believe
the FBI is not going to abuse that in any way.
And we still won't get open source because it
has "proprietary" software that the FBI couldn't
possibly open source.
What is needed is to re-write the tool so that
it is based on open source, and add in some new
code that puts in whatever checks and balances
are needed. Could even be network enabled and
encrypted checks and balances, mmmm......
Otherwise this is a lot of hot air with no
solution. I thought someone said "code is law".
Well this is a mighty fine test of that, wouldn't
you think?
Well I looked, and the two emails below seem to be the only two real "threats" that I saw.
content: If you even dare try to put forward your litigation and lawsuits, I will kill you and your lawyers and anyone else who supports you in your fight against piracy. I will also kill your attorneys and judges who think piracy is bad.
Also, I hope kill at least one thousand of you! I have hired several hitmen to kill Elian when comes back into cuban soil
They repeated this email? Elian.... heh....

You guys fucking are assholes. I hope you all rot in hell. Goddamn corporate lackey fuck-up capitalist shitheads. ANARCHY!
But what really bothers me is this claim...
8. On May 24, 2000, a country manager for the MPAA in Malaysia was returning home from dinner with a female friend when the two were confronted by a man who brutally slashed the friend's face, inflicting a wound which required 22 stitches to close. Again, while I do not suggest that defendants were responsible for this attack, I believe, based on the circumstances known to me, that the attacker intended to hurt the MPAA representative, rather than her companion, because the MPAA representative had received threats recently as the result of her anti-piracy work, and that this deplorable incident reflects the very real danger faced by MPAA personnel and others who work to fight piracy in an increasingly contentious atmosphere. Similar incidents have occurred in the past.
I guess MPAA personnel don't have too much to worry about, as their "attackers" don't seem to bright, attacking the wrong person and all...
And I still am having line problems with my DSL. You got to get on your provider so they can get on their provider who will get on the local Telco. Local Telco normally could care less, I tell them to just get on the pole nowadays no being nice, chatting etc. I would say complain to your PUC, but that is probably all former executives from your Local Telco......:-
I really do not think noamazon would help. Nor would any boycott. I mean didn't Amazon just post the worst quarterly results, and their stock did what?
Amazon is not playing the same game that people think they are playing.
Aquiring frivilous patents is a step up in their game. It's the "$64,000 dollar question".
The only way to beat them is,
beat them at their game or change the rules of the game.

not true, they just vote based on emotional instead of logical reasons

Well that is what happens when you loose an election to a dead person.
I thought this was stuff that matters. :)
from the CBS Marketwatch article

/me rolls eyes...
Ok Doug you got your moment in time, to tell us all about .NET. Give us, your best marketing
on why any of us would even care to use .NET
well considering the way this seems to be "moderated" I would check cvs, as I dunno if /. would post ALFS....

No more coasters..... :)
btw alfs.linuxfromscratch.org has just went up and is being worked on, and you can find the alfs code, and chap4, chap5, chap6 from LFS at http://cvs.linuxfromscratch.org/index.cgi/ALFS/bac kend/
and you can find more info like the syntax docs in the ALFS directory.
BTW this is all changing fast so check the mail lists, and cvs occasionally....

Damn straight. Ever wonder why Kfind is a complete replica of Find on MS? Didn't MS's "find" win an award at the Hall of Shame?
