Okay, what we really want to know is, what is RPMs answer to dselect (a lovely curses-based package browser, installer, and more.)? In my opinion, RPM systems lack mostly this. (And I freely admit to doing little research on the topic.)
That's what you get for conceiving of, designing, sweating over, compiling, debugging, researching, debugging, not implementing permissions in and then running Linux as root.
Meanwhile, the post you're responding to
mentioned the BBC, and your calling the UK "commies."
No more than citing North Korea's single private industry has me calling North Koreans Capitolists.
Here in Canada, we have the CBC, which is costing me 6 pennies a day (that's 4 American pennies). I think it's money very well spent...
I probably wouldn't. How are your prisons?
I can clearly listen to Radio Canada International on shortwave pretty much anywhere in the world (BBC radio does this too). We can watch and listen to Enlish and French programming anywhere in Canada.
A feat that couldn't possibly have been accomplisted privately.
At this point certain people are thinking that the government is using this to brainwash us and keep us complacent.
Not I. Would it even be an issue if...never mind.
You'll see more criticism of the government on CBC than on any other channel.
Public funds cause government critisizm. Neat.
Then there's the other government funded content like the NFB, and the tax credits for Canadian shows. For a recent American-known example of a show that was helped by this: The Tom Green Show.
The US has a commercial version of this show, "Home Improvement". It's often cited as a sign of the collapse of our Capitolist system.
What I'm really liking lately is "Made in Canada."
"Here's the vice president of communications, and the vice president of...," bunch of different VPs are introduced, "...and the vice president of vice presidential affairs." I laughed my ass off.
Hmm. Good gag. -- ...you get to keep your drugs and have all the abortions you want!
Junkyard Wars is an excellent program, and it could only be a product of a nationalised television broadcasting agency.
Ahh, I see. The only way to get good, television is to force all of us dolts to cough up a little extra tax money and let the truly enlightened (i.e. the creators of the world-famous and universally-loved USPO, IRS, INS,...) and let them decide what we should watch. What a fantastic idea. If only it had been tried before! (cough, cough Communism cough).
And yes, Junkyard Wars is a great show. -- ...you get to keep your drugs and have all the abortions you want!
