I think that even if John Q Public knows nothing about open source, if the services he uses are running open source, it doesn't matter.
Lets make them "Usefull Idiots" eh? I am appauled(sp?) that you believe it fruitfull to mislead people to direct their 'weight'.
What is the purpose in advocating the "moral superiority(sp?)" of Free Software" if you are not willing to take the time to discuss it with the "masses" - jesus man, are the unwashed not smart enough to understand what "we" are talking about? Should we just lead them through the dark with half-truths and bullshite?
Im drunk, a little in-=articulate(sP?), and frankly insulted - what makes you the "saviour of people who dont know whats good for themselves"?
I read a.sig here on/. recently that I found very interesting: "anyone who says that "X" is manipulating you is trying to take "X's" job."
Only full disclosure, education and complete honesty will build our desired future.
Heywhatwhat is this? If what you have to say isnt 'self-evident' its not that important... lets find some basic thruths mmmm, kay?
No, sorry sir, I made no fuss - I went about my regular news/info gathering as I always do. Apple has taken to releasing their products in a pagent, with all the pomp and circumstance of %your-favourite-hysterical-fascist-state-here% but with little reward or substance.
You see, Apple has begun to take *MARKETING* to seriously. I abhor marketing. I absolutely detest advertising. I see them as polluting the mental health of the world with lies and trash, the worst kind of self-serving propaganda is dumped on the planet day after day after day to the point where people cant get away from it.
When apple, with their 'media' cronies in tow, abuse this ability to 'make news' and subvert it for what was a purely marketing ploy, i am a little angry.
Had this device been innovative in any way, had it been an advance in what we were capable of as a species, had Apple *really* delivered something worth the hoop-la, i would have been less put off - I wouldnt feel so cheated.
Ok, but was it worth all the super-secret big-announcment hoop-la?
Most everyone will offer a resounding 'No'. The device is basically a marginal, incremental increase in many many products already on market (hipzip, archos, etc). It isnt going to revolutionize anything, it is certainly not a 'deal', its really pretty darned expensive, so why all the fuss? Im a little pissed that Apple had to gall to make such a big deal.
IEEE1394? Bigdeal - every MP3 player will have USB2 or IEEE1394 in a few months, its inevitable... its not reason to have an 'invite only' launch.
Apple makes a huge 'event' to introduce a 'me-too' product (for the most part)... im a little pissed that they have the nuts to interfere with geeks and the media and then drop what (most see as) a big let down. I think Apple is starting to over-estimate themselves.
If you want to do something in American politics, stop voting for the Republicans *OR* the Democrats.
Vote Communist (..as I do..), Socialist, Green, Libertarian, Natural-Law, Elephant-Party - vote for ANTYHING other than the Plutocratic bastards who've sold your community and democracy to the highest bidder, vote for ANYONE who is interested in making *REAL* change... the republicrats have had a cuddly-power-sharing relationship for 100years.. shake shit up Yankees!
This isnt the 'best' description of the situation, but BASICALLY the Ford PeoplePC deal has been a scam from day one.
Ford announced this program internally as an effort to jumpstart the rank-and-file computer knowledge in order to enable the company in the new 'ecommerce' universe (robost-corporate-speak-bullshit). They invested MANY MANY millions into PeoplePC PRIOR to their IPO. PeoplePC, as some of you may rememeber, was basing its business on "we give you PC now for a 36mos. ISP contract" ala Iopener and some others... when the big Dot Bust occured, all these companies started to fail. Ford, having its NUTS in the vice for about $25 Million dollars, Ford volunteered to ENROLL every Ford employee in the PeoplePC program... the cost to Ford directly? Im not sure, maybe something, maybe nothing - frankly I have no reason to believe that it cost Ford ANYTHING to do this, I believe it was an effort to further finance PeoplePC, give them customers (keeping them working/solvent) and give the impression that PeoplePC is a viable business.. remember Ford was in bed w/ PeoplePC pre-IPO... and they had a contract deal to be able to buy another $25M at IPO stock price.
So, basically, when PeoplePC the market ran away from all the DotComs and other fantasy-technology companies, PeoplePC became a worthless company.. they trade at like $0.18 per share.
Ford knows the company is doomed. They are not going to 'throw good money after bad'... they are going to let PeoplePC die.
THIS IS WHY THEY CANCELLED THE PROGRAM
Let me tell you very frankly - there are alot of people at Ford Motor Canada that are VERY VERY ANGRY about this. It could be a very heavy point in the next CAW contract (sept'02)... and the Salary Staff (which I am one of) are VERY aware of what is really taking place... the worst thing in the world is to be this close, this aware to something like this announcment and realize that the company you are working for is a decietfull(sp?) pack of liars.
And at $16 for.3 megapixels, this sounds like more of a novelty than a bargain, considering that 4-megapixel cameras are available now for less than a thousand dollars.
Timothy: I dont know what kind of dough your rolling in, but the rest of us mortals consider the difference between $16 (sixteen) dollars and 'less than a thousand' pretty significant.
No thank you, if all of slashdot doesn't start civil unrest over this "national card" mail thousands of letters to every government official and basically scream in the streets that we will be looking for senators heads if this even get's entertained then all is lost.
if you do that you'll be a terrorist. To those in power, the wisdom in the the axiom; "One Mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" is never gleened.
Can someone mod this ignorant McCarth-ite off as flaimbait.
For fuck's sake, he's quoting the goddamned bible. Your valuable and important opinion is based on what? Faith? Unquestioned belief in a moral structure, a mythos, that your told not to challenge? A set of ideas that you were born into? Wouldnt your opinion be different - and your conviction equally adament - if you had been born a Hindu or Muslim? You think your fairy-tales hold any weight in any relevant realm? ARE YOU INSANE! All cultures invent religion - its a natural response to explain away the world you dont understand - as our culture has matured, a great deal of people (30% in N.A.) have relized they *cant really* believe in these fairy tales any more than SantaClaus - and you want to use it as a self-evident truth to shore up your arguments... Here's what that should have read:
Revelation 13:16-17: "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Believe. Have faith. Do as your told."
For this is the word of God... hehehehehahahahhehehahehahehhahe really man, do you believe this stuff?
If this war lasts 42 months I will be very very frightened.
Im scared that ignorant, scared-of-the-dark morons like yourself walk amoungst the rest of us. Ever hear of The Crusades? The Inquisition? Catholics are in no position to be smug at present day Radical-Islam, the present is no different than the past: Cult-followers dilluted to the point of hysteria.
"The world will never be free until the last king is strangled in the entrails of the last priest." Diderot
"History shows no example of a free and priest-ridden people." (sic) - ?Unknown? (Jefferson?)
Go Cats!
Oh, and a sports fan too.... perfect. You just love those MentalMcNuggets for the Masses eh, how 'bout this one, ever hear of the guy who got a rat in his kentucky-fried-chicken? Yeah, its true. Did you know that Microsoft and Nike are conducting a test of Email systems? They will track every email you send, and give you $22311231.01 for EACH EMAIL! I know! Its true, I got a check for $123121231.2121 yesterday!
Mod me off as flaimbait, ill just repost this - Ive got Karma to burn, and this issue, which is; the fact that as long as their are "organized religions" - ALL FORMS - will only guarantee a future of radical-WTC-bombings-and-other-bullshit..
Dont agree? What is the difference between The Crusades and al Qaeda?
Im sorry, but once I hear someone has faith - in any religion (save a few without the fairy-tale-dogma) i cannot listen to him - my mind races about the FOUNDATIONS of his decisions, his justification and his ability to reason. I honestly feel that when I hear something like this above, that my taking this person seriously would be like my taking advice from a paranoid-schitzophrenic(sp) whos talking to himself on the street.... he has about as much attachment to reality, and equal amounts of credibility.

I dont think they understand, no matter how you ubstruct my usage of my computer or the net its a DoS. They can smurf me, they can ping-flood me, or do this - whatever - its all a Denial of Service Attack.
Sheesh, these people want to argue semantics... give me a break.
Censorship will only hide the message from joe sixpack & friends, and I think thats exactly the goal.
I think your completely correct.
If you get your news from BBC or CBC you will get a great deal more perspective, stories that dont even exist on CNN. You will get more direct quotes from the 'enemy' - those which may make you wonder why America hasnt simply accepted the Taliban's many offeres to avoid war....
This 'reasonable' and 'logical' side of the Taleban is not being shown at all on CNN. CNN is to busy building monsters to kill instead of simply giving full, complete and fair coverage of the events.
No-one is trying to "justify" anything. I am not *CONDONING* any act of violence - the WTC destruction nor Vietname nor Grenada nor any-fucking-thing else.
The fact is, America is *NOT* blameless - yet you pretend this is the case... Americans themselves live in intellectual void where they are INCAPABLE of accepting responsibility for anything.
American Foriegn Policy is a backwards mess of self-serving assassinations, economic devestation, poverty and war. America has been playing terrible politics with the lives of foreign nationals for a good 50 years - now, when alittle hurt comes home, you cry out without any acknowledgement of the BIG PICTURE.
The big picture puts blood on the hands of America. It puts blood on the hands of your Plutocratic Government, and it puts blood on the hands of the unfortunate, miss-led ignorant masses of patriots - incapable of seeing through the sickening nationalist propaganda and understanding the cause and effect nature of the acts of your own government.
So, back to my leftist justification; What you dont really understand is I am sickened by the reaction America has displayed since the WTC destruction. I am sickened not only by the sheer, astounding ignorance, but by the self-rightious nationalism, calls for revenge, racism and misguided piousness.
But really, I am disgusted that, America being such a massively wealthy country, capable of writing so many of the worlds ills (some they have directly and indirectly created) chooses not to. I am saddened that yet another Emprie will crumble (they always do) instead of breaking the cycle, learning from the past and charting the correct course. America may (or may not) have sufficient mass to set us on a path of Real and Lasting Peace... instead, you jack-asses act like morons, succume to the obvious baiting of a lunatic, and start dropping bombs - yet again.
In 50 years, hasnt any American learned that you cannot bomb yourselves into peace?
Dropping bombs in South Asia will only assure that there will be more violence in the USofA.... guaran-fucking-teed. All violence is pointless, war is always wrong, and America cannot get it through its collective-head that it is an increadibly violent nation... no matter what your "patriot-conditioning-response" says. And when you commit acts of violence against others, eventually they hit back.
After having bombed 15 seperate countries, in less than the last 30 years, killing 3,000,000 civilians (yes civilians), Id say that *America* is a rogue nation run by terrorists and tyrants.
Your being an American might feel that every one of those acts was justified, honourable and morally defensible. (why you think this way is a much bigger issue...)
Now, one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist starts to seem a little more clear.
Religion is a simple matter of geography - as is politics - when people assume absolute positions tainted by ethnocentrism and ignorance you see conflict like what is happening now, afterall, who many americans think that the 'founding fathers' that gave birth to the American REVOLUTION were not "TERRORISTS" to the Brits? USofA has a short memory and is a perfect example of why 'one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist.'
I remember back when TNG first came out, Cheerios ran a promotion on the back of the cereal box that let you enter a drawing to be a guest star on the show. At the time I was 8 years old, and winning that contest was pretty much the goal of my life. Since losing the contest, my dreams have been shattered and I shake uncontrollably whenever I see a Cheerios box.
My question: Do you remember who won the contest? Was he/she cool? Did he/she actually make it into an episode?
Gdarn Moderators on crack, how is this OffTopic? Krelboyne, Ive got karma to burn - Ill re-post for you.
do you remember a couple of years back at a time of filming some movie or another, some people happened upon it and you. Some of them asked for an autograph, and you arrogantly handed a dollar (unsigned in case you forgot) to one of them and said, "Here! That is what you really wanted".
So... do you want your dollar back? I am curious if you have had an attitude adjustment yet, if not the dollar could be the start of a downpayment on one
i took a look at the Newsweek article in your.sig:
Its fucking ethnocentric garbage, language and themes right out of plutocratic propaganda - hardly "excellent" reading, more like "semi-literate nationalist jingoism".
Give yourself a break... the Arabs hate america because its 'free'.. yeah thats it.. they hate your 'democracy'. Sheesh.

.sig here on /. recently that I found very interesting: "anyone who says that "X" is manipulating you is trying to take "X's" job."
Lets make them "Usefull Idiots" eh? I am appauled(sp?) that you believe it fruitfull to mislead people to direct their 'weight'.
What is the purpose in advocating the "moral superiority(sp?)" of Free Software" if you are not willing to take the time to discuss it with the "masses" - jesus man, are the unwashed not smart enough to understand what "we" are talking about? Should we just lead them through the dark with half-truths and bullshite?
Im drunk, a little in-=articulate(sP?), and frankly insulted - what makes you the "saviour of people who dont know whats good for themselves"?

Hey whatwhat is this? If what you have to say isnt 'self-evident' its not that important... lets find some basic thruths mmmm, kay?
ridiculous...people like you.
No, sorry sir, I made no fuss - I went about my regular news/info gathering as I always do. Apple has taken to releasing their products in a pagent, with all the pomp and circumstance of %your-favourite-hysterical-fascist-state-here% but with little reward or substance.
You see, Apple has begun to take *MARKETING* to seriously. I abhor marketing. I absolutely detest advertising. I see them as polluting the mental health of the world with lies and trash, the worst kind of self-serving propaganda is dumped on the planet day after day after day to the point where people cant get away from it.
When apple, with their 'media' cronies in tow, abuse this ability to 'make news' and subvert it for what was a purely marketing ploy, i am a little angry.
Had this device been innovative in any way, had it been an advance in what we were capable of as a species, had Apple *really* delivered something worth the hoop-la, i would have been less put off - I wouldnt feel so cheated.
Ok, but was it worth all the super-secret big-announcment hoop-la?
Most everyone will offer a resounding 'No'. The device is basically a marginal, incremental increase in many many products already on market (hipzip, archos, etc). It isnt going to revolutionize anything, it is certainly not a 'deal', its really pretty darned expensive, so why all the fuss? Im a little pissed that Apple had to gall to make such a big deal.
IEEE1394? Bigdeal - every MP3 player will have USB2 or IEEE1394 in a few months, its inevitable... its not reason to have an 'invite only' launch.
Apple makes a huge 'event' to introduce a 'me-too' product (for the most part)... im a little pissed that they have the nuts to interfere with geeks and the media and then drop what (most see as) a big let down. I think Apple is starting to over-estimate themselves.

This isnt the 'best' description of the situation, but BASICALLY the Ford PeoplePC deal has been a scam from day one.
Ford announced this program internally as an effort to jumpstart the rank-and-file computer knowledge in order to enable the company in the new 'ecommerce' universe (robost-corporate-speak-bullshit). They invested MANY MANY millions into PeoplePC PRIOR to their IPO. PeoplePC, as some of you may rememeber, was basing its business on "we give you PC now for a 36mos. ISP contract" ala Iopener and some others... when the big Dot Bust occured, all these companies started to fail. Ford, having its NUTS in the vice for about $25 Million dollars, Ford volunteered to ENROLL every Ford employee in the PeoplePC program... the cost to Ford directly? Im not sure, maybe something, maybe nothing - frankly I have no reason to believe that it cost Ford ANYTHING to do this, I believe it was an effort to further finance PeoplePC, give them customers (keeping them working/solvent) and give the impression that PeoplePC is a viable business.. remember Ford was in bed w/ PeoplePC pre-IPO... and they had a contract deal to be able to buy another $25M at IPO stock price.
So, basically, when PeoplePC the market ran away from all the DotComs and other fantasy-technology companies, PeoplePC became a worthless company.. they trade at like $0.18 per share.
Ford knows the company is doomed. They are not going to 'throw good money after bad'... they are going to let PeoplePC die.
THIS IS WHY THEY CANCELLED THE PROGRAM
Let me tell you very frankly - there are alot of people at Ford Motor Canada that are VERY VERY ANGRY about this. It could be a very heavy point in the next CAW contract (sept'02)... and the Salary Staff (which I am one of) are VERY aware of what is really taking place... the worst thing in the world is to be this close, this aware to something like this announcment and realize that the company you are working for is a decietfull(sp?) pack of liars.
The box AOL is using is the "Intel Dot.Station"
And at $16 for .3 megapixels, this sounds like more of a novelty than a bargain, considering that 4-megapixel cameras are available now for less than a thousand dollars.
Timothy: I dont know what kind of dough your rolling in, but the rest of us mortals consider the difference between $16 (sixteen) dollars and 'less than a thousand' pretty significant.
No thank you, if all of slashdot doesn't start civil unrest over this "national card" mail thousands of letters to every government official and basically scream in the streets that we will be looking for senators heads if this even get's entertained then all is lost.
if you do that you'll be a terrorist. To those in power, the wisdom in the the axiom; "One Mans terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" is never gleened.

Can someone mod this ignorant McCarth-ite off as flaimbait.
For fuck's sake, he's quoting the goddamned bible. Your valuable and important opinion is based on what? Faith? Unquestioned belief in a moral structure, a mythos, that your told not to challenge? A set of ideas that you were born into? Wouldnt your opinion be different - and your conviction equally adament - if you had been born a Hindu or Muslim? You think your fairy-tales hold any weight in any relevant realm? ARE YOU INSANE! All cultures invent religion - its a natural response to explain away the world you dont understand - as our culture has matured, a great deal of people (30% in N.A.) have relized they *cant really* believe in these fairy tales any more than SantaClaus - and you want to use it as a self-evident truth to shore up your arguments... Here's what that should have read:
Revelation 13:16-17: "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Believe. Have faith. Do as your told."
For this is the word of God... hehehehehahahahhehehahehahehhahe really man, do you believe this stuff?
If this war lasts 42 months I will be very very frightened.
Im scared that ignorant, scared-of-the-dark morons like yourself walk amoungst the rest of us. Ever hear of The Crusades? The Inquisition? Catholics are in no position to be smug at present day Radical-Islam, the present is no different than the past: Cult-followers dilluted to the point of hysteria.

Oh, and a sports fan too.... perfect. You just love those MentalMcNuggets for the Masses eh, how 'bout this one, ever hear of the guy who got a rat in his kentucky-fried-chicken? Yeah, its true.

Its true, I got a check for $123121231.2121 yesterday!
Mod me off as flaimbait, ill just repost this - Ive got Karma to burn, and this issue, which is; the fact that as long as their are "organized religions" - ALL FORMS - will only guarantee a future of radical-WTC-bombings-and-other-bullshit..
Dont agree? What is the difference between The Crusades and al Qaeda?
Im sorry, but once I hear someone has faith - in any religion (save a few without the fairy-tale-dogma) i cannot listen to him - my mind races about the FOUNDATIONS of his decisions, his justification and his ability to reason. I honestly feel that when I hear something like this above, that my taking this person seriously would be like my taking advice from a paranoid-schitzophrenic(sp) whos talking to himself on the street.... he has about as much attachment to reality, and equal amounts of credibility.
That's a tempting solution considering what is said in some literature circles after a few vodkas.

I wonder if it would be possible to build/hack a JAMMA adapter for Sega's new board...??
Censorship will only hide the message from joe sixpack & friends, and I think thats exactly the goal.
I think your completely correct.
If you get your news from BBC or CBC you will get a great deal more perspective, stories that dont even exist on CNN. You will get more direct quotes from the 'enemy' - those which may make you wonder why America hasnt simply accepted the Taliban's many offeres to avoid war....
This 'reasonable' and 'logical' side of the Taleban is not being shown at all on CNN. CNN is to busy building monsters to kill instead of simply giving full, complete and fair coverage of the events.
No-one is trying to "justify" anything. I am not *CONDONING* any act of violence - the WTC destruction nor Vietname nor Grenada nor any-fucking-thing else.
The fact is, America is *NOT* blameless - yet you pretend this is the case... Americans themselves live in intellectual void where they are INCAPABLE of accepting responsibility for anything.
American Foriegn Policy is a backwards mess of self-serving assassinations, economic devestation, poverty and war. America has been playing terrible politics with the lives of foreign nationals for a good 50 years - now, when alittle hurt comes home, you cry out without any acknowledgement of the BIG PICTURE.
The big picture puts blood on the hands of America. It puts blood on the hands of your Plutocratic Government, and it puts blood on the hands of the unfortunate, miss-led ignorant masses of patriots - incapable of seeing through the sickening nationalist propaganda and understanding the cause and effect nature of the acts of your own government.
So, back to my leftist justification; What you dont really understand is I am sickened by the reaction America has displayed since the WTC destruction. I am sickened not only by the sheer, astounding ignorance, but by the self-rightious nationalism, calls for revenge, racism and misguided piousness.
But really, I am disgusted that, America being such a massively wealthy country, capable of writing so many of the worlds ills (some they have directly and indirectly created) chooses not to. I am saddened that yet another Emprie will crumble (they always do) instead of breaking the cycle, learning from the past and charting the correct course. America may (or may not) have sufficient mass to set us on a path of Real and Lasting Peace... instead, you jack-asses act like morons, succume to the obvious baiting of a lunatic, and start dropping bombs - yet again.
In 50 years, hasnt any American learned that you cannot bomb yourselves into peace?
Dropping bombs in South Asia will only assure that there will be more violence in the USofA.... guaran-fucking-teed. All violence is pointless, war is always wrong, and America cannot get it through its collective-head that it is an increadibly violent nation... no matter what your "patriot-conditioning-response" says. And when you commit acts of violence against others, eventually they hit back.
After having bombed 15 seperate countries, in less than the last 30 years, killing 3,000,000 civilians (yes civilians), Id say that *America* is a rogue nation run by terrorists and tyrants.
Your being an American might feel that every one of those acts was justified, honourable and morally defensible. (why you think this way is a much bigger issue...)
Now, one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist starts to seem a little more clear.
Religion is a simple matter of geography - as is politics - when people assume absolute positions tainted by ethnocentrism and ignorance you see conflict like what is happening now, afterall, who many americans think that the 'founding fathers' that gave birth to the American REVOLUTION were not "TERRORISTS" to the Brits? USofA has a short memory and is a perfect example of why 'one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist.'
I remember back when TNG first came out, Cheerios ran a promotion on the back of the cereal box that let you enter a drawing to be a guest star on the show. At the time I was 8 years old, and winning that contest was pretty much the goal of my life. Since losing the contest, my dreams have been shattered and I shake uncontrollably whenever I see a Cheerios box.
My question: Do you remember who won the contest? Was he/she cool? Did he/she actually make it into an episode?
