The real problem is not "Dead Hand". Guys in the Kreml are totally nuts like their communists' "fathers" in soviet times. Remember, Mr. Putin is KGB officer. Mr. Medvedev is just "doll" in his hands. And Stalin in new Russia is rather hero and effective manager then torturer and Hitler's twin. They write such a crap about Stalin in the school history books. And Kremlins still believe that they can rule in whole 1/6 of world.
Remember Georgia occupation year ago? They already talking about the same scenario in Ukraine. Who is Russia best friend? Ugo Chavez and they just give him a bunch of weapons allmost for free.
I am Ukrainian and I know what I say. Russia is still dangerous and it is just smaller USSR. People kill people, not guns.
Windows is such a super sick beast that can not exist without vulnerabilities. Every hole and BSoD is not a big. It is classical Windows feature. Welcome back, "teardrop" BSoD!:)
Guys! You all missing the point that N900 as previous N700, N800 and N810 is truly open Linux platform with big and growing community around maemo.org I have Debian on my N810 co-existing with official OS with all it's bells and whistles. N900 is much faster so Debian will run on it smoothly and easily. It means you can have many thousands of applications of your choice running on your phone. Just install "Easy debian" package and put Debian's image on your microSD card. It means that you have full-featured computer in your pocket with a lot of possibilities opened by free software. Besides it, new community developed OS "Mer" is synced with Ubuntu and developes quickly. It may became an OS of next generation for such devices.
Remember the case of PGP? Phil Zimmermann faced more then 15 years for just publishing in Internet source of his cryptography program, based on published in books algorithms.
You are completely right. Whole DMCA stuff has nothing related to safety or security. It is all about profit. Corporations are defending profit that they get from selling copies of content. They do not want to think of new profit models of digital millennium.
They just want old dust covered methods to keep working forever and only way to keep this models working is personal freedom violation.
Next time student will get arrested for picking in his nose. Imagine that some TinySoft will patent or copyright "nose content". Well, if someone modifies, actually "tunes" the car for money, it is OK. If someone "tunes" some electronic devise - it is crime! Ridiculous!!! Incredible!!!
Guys, USA is very very strange country, isn't it? I am happy I live in Ukraine, fellows!
That's pretty funny and ridiculous but i think that Linus is too religious:) I can not love my enemies, but I do not hate them either. I just want them to die.
Or may be it is just joke? How one can compare Eclipse and Netbeans to Mono Develop?
Novel is pushing hard it's half-working Mono in Gnome but it does not mean that we need it. "mononono" pakage is best proof of it. Is there "javanono" package somewhere? Right.
The same situation in Ukraine. Bastards force people to pay M$ tax with each computer purchase and it is impossible to get money back for unused Windows. That's why I hate Microsoft. I do not want to pay $400 for stupid disc I never use.
I do not worry about EU budget or MS income/loss. I do worry about my own pockets. Why I must pay additional $400 buying notebook? Bastards just force me to pay "MS taxes" for stupid disks I never use.
Only question that I am concerning about Win7 price is M$ taxes that I pay buying notebook. I just can not get good notebook without Win installed. And it is almost impossible in Ukraine to get money back for unused Win. I do not need it at all because I am quite satisfied with Linux.
The question:
Is it easy in EU to get money back for pre-installed Windows we must buy with notebook? I do not agree to pay $400 for thing I do not need at all!
What competition they are speaking about with 98% of computer OS market? Oh! does mainframe run windoze? It does not? What a pity! It is anti-competitive practice of IBM and mainframes must be killed and eliminated if they are still not dead already!
Quote from mentioned article: "Now, don't get me wrong. I like beef and I was one of the first people in my family to try some - I was even eating beef decades ago! And I have a tattoo of a cow on my back! But I think, for most diners, beef isn't ready for the dinner table, and here's why:...."
Just another acknowledgement of fact that there is NO MARKET, there is MONOPOLY of Microsoft. Is it too difficult to say aloud? There is damnded rotten monopoly that no on dares to fight.
The problem that jerks from Microsoft telling people every day that they are stupid and dumb, they can not learn how to use netbook or cellphone without Windows. I wonder how people manage to use Apple's iPhione! It is impossible at all because it is based on BSD Unix!
Guys from MS! Could you please just shutup and let people choose?
Total bullshit! Read "Seven Reasons Why Beef Is Not Ready For The Dinner Table" article first (Use Google search to find it). May be last time you installed some Linux desktop was a decade ago.
Real reason people use Windows is mind inertia. Second is monopoly of MS, that fights against every attempt to go to the market with other product.
There is no market with Windows. There is MONOPOLY. Ugly and rotten monopoly that even US government does not dare to fight. All the world pays M$ taxes with computer hardware. There is no choice at all in every computer store. So guys, what market you are speaking about? Only few people around the globe managed to get money back for unused Windows on their computer. It is the situation if you dare to look at it with sober eye.
I glad US army is spending huge bag of money for such a crap like Vista and necessary massive hardware upgrade. There will be less money for real stuff and less wars around the globe. There will me more holes and more botnets using US army computers. There will be more leaked secrets to Russians and Chinese intelligence. Oh! There will be more military ships "hanging" for days.
That is more correct question. If some HW vendor is not ready to Linux, do not buy such hardware. If some SW vendor does not provide Linux version, ask them to support Linux. More letters and they do Linux version. There are a lot of examples.
Most arguments of that Russian guy smells naphthalene.
And I know that freedom is worthless for Russians.
Well, everybody here in Ukraine knows about M$ paybacks reaching 50%. The same in Russia. Affiliated companies do it every time they sell something to state. But M$ is "holly cow" of American economy and "secret weapon" of CIA so it can not be touched.
Next most secure ever release for US army will be Windows 95, then Windows 3.11 and at the top of security development ever will be release of MS DOS 1.0.
Theory of probability works great in physics, electronics, biology, etc, etc but does not work in economics! Great conclusion!!! I'm in shock!
If someone at finances steals billions and billions, builds pyramids and so on, puts world on wars and loose mega-billions, and all this nasty things are covered by US government, mathematics will not work certainly.

Russia slowly but constantly moves to the same destination as Germany where in 1933, believe me or not. It is obvious from Ukraine, where I'm living.

Therefore every American company must rise corruption level in every country where business is possible. Insightful! Brilliant!
Oh, some companies can not do that, they do not pay bribes here in America and do not sell 8 ears old WinXP to air forces.
Well, everybody here in Ukraine knows about M$ paybacks reaching 50%. The same in Russia. Affiliated companies do it every time they sell something to state. But M$ is "holly cow" of American economy and "secret weapon" of CIA so it can not be touched.
