Flashback, 1992: Yeh, huh, Linux is obsolete. Microkernel is the way to go. Minix is so superior cause it'll do everything and even bake you a pizza.
When it was pointed out that Linux might be superior in what it could actually/do/: "You have to remember that the goal of minix is to fit entirely in the mind of a student"
right, so a system which can't actually/do/ anything in the/real world//isn't/ obsolete?

If just because you produced something controversial, we all started calling you a criminal? That's what this guy did. Criminalizing somebody for works of controversial subject matter or tone is much worse than labeling what they do "flamebait". At least, I assume that's the post you're referring to. I can't see it 'cause it's modded down and I'm too lazy to adjust my prefs today, but posts above and below yours have subject "Re: do we really want to hear from whatsisname the criminal" in them" Now people obviously don't disagree with you, but you got modded up as interesting, because you didn't go calling the people you didn't disagree with "criminals" right off the bat. That kinda helps.

ALL? That's pretty strong. What about Sealand? what about the local village of Mazomanie? I don't recall any village board appointed spies "borrowing" any laptops and copying hard drives or ransacking any hotel rooms at conventions.
Well, now that I think of it our village cops fairly suck. There was that one incident where six cops with guns burst into my buddy's house and practically beat everybody up looking for somebody to arrest who wasn't there and to my knowledge had never been there, and they never even apologized because these were the town "potheads". So forget everything I just said.

Umm... Mine's been on since I got it new... 3 mths already... (that would be 2 1/2 screens already!)
And you've used it continuously since then? What are you, a teenage girl on steroids? HTF do you pay for 2500 hours of continuous cell phone use? Seriously, we're talking about devices people only use for short bursts of time. It's like saying a power source is good for 20 hours in a laser gun.
Now my question is, do they have replaceable screens, say if you were using it for like a computer monitor, could you just slide the screen off and slide a new one in? Because I use my laptop considerably more than your average user uses their mobile phone, and I would expect at least a couple years out of it. Probably twice what these screens offer, maybe 3x. I don't really know exactly, I don't have reference point for quite what 1000 hrs. is relative to how much my cmp. is on out of a day relative to how long a year is, this late at night. But I would definitely have to replace the screen over the life of my computer--if they made it doable, I would certainly consider that type of screen as an alternative to more expensive (and harder to look at) LCD but if not than forget it.

I'm not rich. So sue me. Some of us can't always throw more fucking bandwidth and hardware at the problem. Especially those of us who make minimum wage because none of the godamn computer companies want to hire us because we don't have "degrees" or "credentials" or any of that bullshit.
Besides, our high school has a several thousand dollar tech budget and a T1 line and the shit still crashes every time you turn it on. That's no exaggeration, that's the literal truth.
I run linux on my laptop and it works. Best part it didn't cost me 10 billion fucking dollars which some of us apparently have to spend, it just took the physical cost of the CD plus a contribution to the free software ppl. 486 laptop does twice as much as any of the pentiums at school bleeding out a T1 do.

Don't let them have any personal information. When they ask for an address (and * it as a "required" field) make one up or fill in somebody else's. Ditto for name. If they need a credit card number use a stolen one, or use one created also with a false identity (I know places you can do this easily). If they try to track your actions simply create a new acount every time you buy something from that company or use their service. As far as they know they will be tracking 15 different people, none of whom will have your name or address or otherwise be identifiable as you, and so your identity will be protected. (If you buy stuff ship it to an out of town P.O. box under a false name paid for w/ a false credit card. then switch boxes for each such purchase from the same company)

A) geese don't typically sit out in the ocean where there are likely to be oil spills
B) this IS about penguins, and therefore is of interest to the/. community. I for one found it quite funny to see it listed under "topic=linux"
There are also other issues this raises having to do with conflicts of environmental concerns and economic concerns when it comes to devoloping/semi-developed nations. So if an oil spill happened off the coast of Alaska maybe it would be a lot less relevant. (Although I realize the only reason they put it in was because it involved penguins)

I'm pretty sure you don't need to be eligible to vote to hold public office. So the logical next step is for enough people to become sick of all this crap to elect a convicted (drug) felon and it will all fall down (within a couple years at most).
