First off, the filesystem is in no danger of being dropped due to this event. Thats the benefit of Open Source. Where anyone who starts up a major project is typically going to be wise enough to make contingency plans upon their demise (could be a car accident, health problem etc.)
Second of all, even if he did it, it won't hurt Open Source Software reputation.There are alot of very good people. Perhaps more so in open source then in proprietary. Anyone who trys to use it in any event, against open source softare, will be admitting what an absolute jackass they are.
Third, anyone with enough sence and aware enough about teh events that have happened in main stream news these last few years regarding death and killing would know there are people with names known that are much worse then this suspicion.
Perhaps the story really should have been simply noting the arrest. There was no reason to bring up filesystems concerns.
... don't believe me. No Problem. The problem are all those mindless MS followers.
MS is going to convince them that they need the same hardware, cept more expensive, to acces their online software.
And they will somehow convince the mindles followers that the hardware is not able to run desktop applications. (of course the mind full will know its DRM policing that keeps you from running FOSS on your online access device.)
If you are not using a desktop or even a laptop to access your online software, then what are you going to use? your cel phone?
Hey Mel, can you look over that massive spreadsheet and tell me where the problem is?
I suspect what the online software really is, is nothing more than having teh software installed on your desktop system and the licensing being checked ever 5 minutes to see if you paid the bill. And when your google search takes 5 minutes to do a simple search than you can blame MS for bandwidth problems... uh correction, you can blame the mindless followers of MS.....
One day we see a story of how expensive it is to run and open source based development shop compaired to an MS or proprietary code based dev shop and the next day we see how expensive it is to convert the end users in a company, to Vista. Of course in comparison to say ubuntu.
Sooner or later the world is going to see the container of the humidifier and dehumidifier is the same container and even better, that its the users who have the ability to unplug the damn thing instead of paying for the electric bill the suckers and blowers use.
When coding becomes common and easy enough that you do it when you either need to or are inspired to. And regardless of who you are. Like using a calculator to do math, everybody does it.
the job of politicans is to get people to do things, to work together. Where often the only way to do that is to lie to them.
Unfortunately the problems is knowing whether or not what the true objective is, is something you actually support.
On the other hand, with this in mind, either google should always find the probability of the truth being told is low or it should be noted that that google can be used to help promote the lies as being true in probability.
Google found a word in a source code archive on my site. The others did not.
I think google is the only one using regular expression patten matching from the users end. Hint: completely clear the field or at least delete any end character when doing a different search as some non-printable characters might remain and give you bad results.
Then I'd have low housing prices and probably better pay. As the baby boomers would be gone.
Unfortunately I'm on the tail end of the baby boomers and I will see the fall of Social Security as it leaves me seeing it as a government theift of me the tax payer. And to think, that theift started before I was born.
Seems I was right. Not that I liked either canidate. Kerry back'ed out to soon, showing even he was approving Bush. There was no election, only an illusion of one.
Perhaps the US government needs to be honest to the people it is supposed to represent.
No president has ever been impeached.... why is that? The system doesn't work as intended.
The government should fess up about who was really responsible for the anthrax attacks on the media. Though it should be obvious it didn't have to be a conspiracy, just one military personal who had enough clearance, rank and knowledge as to how to deal with anthrax, to not be questioned when he took a very small amount, hardly noticable, from the military base.
What kind of country is this that does such things?
Oh I know, They wanted to show the terrorist that they can be worse then the terrorist.
Terrorising the terrorist...
Yeah, America is safer now.....Bush said so.
I understand the military is going to try out some new non-lethal weapons on Americans first.....
What really started the chain of events leading to 9/11 was wrongful world economic manipulation via world stock market manipulation --- google "trillion dollar bet" and read the transcript. Know where dot com boom money came from and what really caused the bust and failures like Enron, Worldcom and the likes...
Politically controlled military backed worngful world economic manipulation.... What were the three targets of 9/11?
Did it really make a difference whether or not the election was real or a hacked? NO as the real problem is clearly larger than that,
We have a government that has enough power to threaten the media that most americans listen to and believe. To threaten the media into saying whatever the government wants it to say.
Ultimately any exposure of this reality will accomplish what?
How could americans remove the lil'hitler adminastration?
So the answer is that this country has turned into a dictatorship under the guise of a democracy.
It has become the evil it claims to be fighting against.
And there is not a damn thing the American People can do about it. Mainly because most don't believe it.
When you know your voe doesn't count, will you still vote?
There are some things universally accepted as not being patentable.
Natural Law (laws of nature and physics), Physicaly Phenomenon, abstract ideas are the top or primary three. Mathmatical algorythims are also considered non-patentable but in essence such algorythims are in fact composed of the above.
So yeah, software, from abstraction physics POV, is not patentable. As it is three for three (or four for four if including math) of those things universally considered not patentable.
Abstraction physics is the application of abstract idea that have natural law or laws of physics (abstraction physics) that govern their creation and use, and effect upon physical devices (or for non-computing use of abstraction, abstraction effects human movement/action, if allowed) that proves there is a physical phenomenon connection to abstraction usage.
Abstraction creation and use is a human quality and characteristic of which we have the natural right to apply. But it is also our duty to use the ability to use the tool of abstractions to better ourselves and our society and technology.
Software is not patentable.
The problem that is at hand is one of vested interest of those on both sides of the development industry. Both proprietary and Open Source.
It took 350 years for the catholic church to exonorate Galileo. They didn't do it for his good name but for themselves as their follows were leaving because of such outlandish stand against such obvious facts.
It took 300 years for the decimal system to overcome the far more limited Roman Numeral System.
Why such a long time for what should be obvious, to be accepted? A conspiracy? Or simple common self interest, vested interest support?
There is a lot of vested interest in software patents in the US and Europe is still batteling against softare patents.
What is needed is a way to undo it.
The decimal system and acceptance of Galileo's observations took to damn long. We need the change now! And it means the whole of the development community needs to let go of their elitism and get back to genuine computer science. Even when it means getting back to the basics to re-evaluate and correct the misguided direction away from science by the carrot of government money (code breaking in world war II).
There is a effort to use "open source as prior art" search google. Though it is biased by those with vested interest. Richard Stallman even commented on the effort, noting its possibility of back firing...
But maybe what is needed is complete suppression of human thought in order for there to9 be a revolt and change towards the recognition of what software really is.
having the ability to boot linux or windows can be a plus. You can explain to them that should their windows system again get corrupted for any number of reasons, least of which is not online garbage, they can still use linux.
I once created a triple booting system with windows98, windowx XP and Knoppix. I had to disallow either windows partition from seeing each others but had a common partition for anything that any of teh systems needed to access like user files. Of course Knoppix had full acces to the whole system as that didn't cause potential conflicts. I didn't create this system for myself but for a friend who had been running Window ME and letting all his friends and kids access the internet. It took over 15 minutes for it to boot, had over 600 items of spyware on it, and a few viruses. In trying to fix it I watched it deteriorate to the point of non-functional.
Choice is a wonderful thing, but removing windows altogether can be a plus to, as it forces the user to get use to linux.
Personally I prefer Linux, Ubuntu as of current, for general computing and even programming with python.
My use of windows at home has been reduce a great deal and only use it when I need to use an application only available in windows. But I'm finding more that is not available in a windows environment. Linuxcnc machine controller, even just for simulation, uses the real time kernel and is not available on windows.
OS I look to for the no to distant future include AROS, DragonFlyBSD and look over at the HURD and Minix3. Something has to give!!! As even Linux is not as user empowering as computing should be. And Windows is probably becomming the worst in terms of user empowering (The shell is a good indicator)
but the most powerful force of human mentality is "Denial" A matter of popular or promoted belief often having nothing to do with what honesty actually is.
Stallman is correct that this OSDL based project is of FALSE intent. The intent is to deceive and distract from the real issue.
When honesty of the matter (the nature of software) is dismissed via non-sequeturs and illogical irrational response, you just can't help but know what the genuine intent of the effort is.
There is no real excuse to not address the matter correctly. So why is it not being honestly addressed, but instead the presentation of so called short term detours?
any listing of an "accused sex offender" should by the right of the accused to see their accuser, the accusers name published as well, while alse noting the lack of a guilty verdict in such an accusation.

That is a reputation that is not going to vanish over nite.
If they really have learned from their mistakes, then they should have kept quiet until they actually have something to release.
Show me, don't tell me.
Did they put him in cyber prison where the crime was committed?
salt absorbtion of water and distillation of the salty water?
I guess the telling would be to see how may gallons of water it can produce while floating on a fresh water lake, and on teh salty sea.
