  1. We need a new personal datastorage system on The Secure Public Data Repository? · · Score: 1

    With personal I mean something like the old conventional floppy. The only thing is, we need more space. USB flash storage devices or smart cards are still too expensive to use.

  2. Some responses to qtconsole@nl.linux.org on Qt For The Console · · Score: 1

    Hi,

    I don't know about you guys, but I really had a good day reading the responses that had been send to qtconsole@nl.linux.org

    Of course we do not deny you the fun, so we have put them online at:
    http://qtconsole.nl.linux.org/joke.html

    Have fun reading the emails.

    Cheers,

  3. Re:Buddhism and Open Source on Petreley on Ximian and Mono · · Score: 1

    Yes, you're a completely right. Using buddhism as an example wasn't a perfect one. But I think you got the point :)

  4. Keeping Open Source starts with yourself on Petreley on Ximian and Mono · · Score: 1

    Hi,

    It's just like keeping your culture. The best way to do this is by still maintaining its traditions and customs, _not_ by imposing it on others.

    That is why religions like Christiany and Islam can't coexist. According to their believes you have to impose the Koran/Bible on non-believers. Because to them, the ultimate truth is there. And _everyone_ has to believe it.

    Instead, a "religion" like Boedhism is much more friendler. We believe that you have to find the truth yourself. We won't impose it on you. We believe that one day you'll find the ultimate truth anyway.

    Nowadays some people find Boedhism attractive, though, we haven't imposed it on them. They just found it on their way on their search of the truth.

    That is why the existance (and survival) of Free Software starts with you. By using its software, and telling your (good) experiences and the advantages to others, you'll spread Free Software to non-Free Software users.

    You don't have to fear .NET. Ok, it's from Microsoft, but that doesn't mean it is bad. .NET probaly will become a standard. You don't stop Microsoft by forcing others _not_ using .NET. You'll stop Microsoft by showing others a better way. Their curiosity will lead them to Free Software.
