Did you READ the FUCKING ARTICLE!! This is NOT some GIANT FUCKING CORPORATION putting this project out!! It's ONE GUY with an OBSELETE GAME fetish.. and he's PROBABLY not terribly interested in an OS/2 port!!
Now maybe if you want to PAY him.. or HIRE him.. you might have something.. as it is you're probably just making him VAGUELY NAUSEOUS at the prospect of porting his lame little emulation program to OBSELETE ARCHITECTURES.
Jesus! Try being NICE TO PEOPLE! Didn't your mother teach you SHIT?
Well, this is a nice little piece of KARMA WHORING... you figure if you get 15th post you don't have to read the fucking article at all!
The article in question IS all about a fucking CORPORATION.. that is doing this for MONEY.. not for the benefit of humanity or because it gives them a fucking stiffy. Read:
Because the company is about to sell shares on the Canadian stock market, it is barred from talking to the media. But in a prospectus available to the public, Chromos says it plans to insert the chromosomes into cells which will be grown in fermenters to produce beneficial proteins and to genetically engineer animals so that they produce valuable proteins in their milk.
So there it is, in a fucking nutshell. Why the fuck does "money" equate to "evil" with you??! Why the fuck is the first thing you think of "Coke paying a town to force its residents to take a gene that makes them drink coke"?? WHY must dipshit fuckers like you spread FUD indiscriminately??!
Why not try posting something about the REAL implications instead of dumb-ass doomsday scenarios? Think about it - obviously these companies are going to start competing to make better genes to one-up the previous company. Also, try considering economic demand - what are the first genes people are going to want after the disease ones?? You got it--bulging biceps and enormous cocks.
So, for you, this might not be such a bad thing after all.
I'm so fucking overwhelmed by your semantics!! I mean, fuck! Here I thought I was reading an article about Linux being based on standards that are no longer good, and as it turns out, it was all a big lie!! The article was a piece of fiction suggesting that Linux has been completely replaced without my knowledge!!
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONTENT TO POST, JUST DON'T POST, YOU LITTLE BITCH!
Anyway, the fucker who wrote this article is as bad as Signal 11 and Jon Katz put together. If Linux was based on code that is no longer good, wouldn't someone have NOTICED by now and REWRITTEN SOMETHING FROM THE GROUND UP?? Should we have refused to equip cars with tires because they were based on the wheel, and, shit, that's really fucking old technology?? Should we start putting soda in plastic cans just because we can and we've been using aluminum too long??
Besides, this guy is the most pretentious fucker I've ever heard, and if there's one thing I actually like about your dumbass post, Signal 11, it was the use of the word "oracle". This fucker wants to be that old guy who sits up on the mountain smoking opium and "enlightening" any poor sap dumb enough to ask him a question. Of course, in this case, NO ONE FUCKING ASKED HIM ANYWAY!
Angry or not, I hereby invoke Godwin's law. You lose.
Maybe you should fucking STUDY the law you're invoking before you FUCKING POST OUT OF YOUR ASS!!
Quirk's Exception: Intentional invocation of this so-called "Nazi Clause" is ineffectual.
So, huh, looks like you're stuck trying to fucking respond to my CONTENT, like you SHOULD HAVE in the first place instead of trying to be some fucking l33t 15yo h4xx0r by invoking a USENET law from 1993!
What the fuck are you thinking??? Of course you can't sell GPL'ed code without including the source!! I mean, what fucking planet are you from??
I can't even figure out how you think this relates to the article!! Do you think that "bundling" means "putting any two things together", like "including an aluminum can with the purchase of your soda"??!?
Including the source code of an OS is NOT bundling, because the source code *IS* the OS!! Including an OS with a computer IS bundling, because a computer is NOT an OS.
German courts ruled today that computer manufacturers are alllowed to bundle non-Microsoft software with their computers
COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE FOUND A MORE MISLEADING PHRASING FOR THIS??
I mean, SHIT! Do you REALLY BELIEVE that computer manufacturers were previously NOT ALLOWED to bundle Linux with their computers?!?? Do you think there was a fucking LAW on the German books that said "Bundle Windows with your hardware or we'll fucking hunt you down and shoot you like dogs"??!
The ruling wasn't that "manufacturers are allowed to bundle non-Microsoft software", you stupid ninny. The ruling was that Microsoft couldn't force manufacturers to sign contracts that they'd only use their OS in return for incentives.
And you know what?? You fucking people are going on a rant about how nifty this is because you don't like MicroSoft, but you probably haven't considered a single fucking implication in general law. Sure, this is just one ruling. But when it becomes a general law, what the fuck does it mean to us then??!
Will it be illegal for soda companies, for example, to sponsor an event and demand that only their soda be drank there??! If so, will the number of free concerts decline? If so, will you all FUCKING CRY ABOUT THAT and regard it as BIG BROTHER TRAMPLING ON YOUR RIGHTS??! Do I really need to fucking ask that question?!
No, music should not be free like software. Unlike software, music created by groups gets worse with every added decision maker
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEAD?!?!?
Do you really think that if I got ahold of the "Source code" - sheet music - to Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville", that I could MAKE WHATEVER MODIFICATIONS I saw fit, release "Margaritaville 2.0", and have it INCLUDED on all future REPRINTS of his CD??!
Whatever fucking committee decided to bastardize a song will be PRACTICALLY INVISIBLE TO THE END-LISTENER, and releasing tab or sheet music in the CD *itself* would HARDLY help them to write the song that's already on the CD!! Or do you think the Backstreet Boys put out a preliminary, fully-recorded CD, and THEN submit it to the record company so they can make whatever changes they feel like??!
Jesus fucking Christ!! Lay off the crack!! If you don't think including sheet music or tab would be a nice gesture - if you think it would be DANGEROUS to the recording artists and the integrity of the music - then you are a nazi. Fucking nazi.
Wow, what a FUCKING IMPRESSIVE personal testimonial!!
I'm sure all those indie bands out there are REALLY, REALLY HAPPY that they can make a whole $8 (minus expenses) if they suit YOUR PERSONAL TASTE.
In this article, "Baptist Death Ray" (which is a FUCKING STUPID name for a band) is trying to explain the way the music system works in *general*, trying to explain why pirated music is NOT good news for indie bands - and the best thing you can come up with is your OWN FUCKING PHILOSOPHY ON BUYING CDs??!
Why do you EVEN BOTHER to post!?? Don't you think it's OBVIOUS to everyone here that SOMEBODY would be willing to buy an indie CD online?? Don't you think it fucking GOES WITHOUT SAYING that if I offer *any* fucking shitty piece-of-crap merchandise online, *SOMEONE* is going to buy it??!
But, hey, I'm sure "Baptist Death Ray" (Fuck!! Who named that band!??) is REALLY HAPPY that if he doesn't suck, he'll make a whole $4 off you if you ever find him.
In fact, why don't you go LOOKING for Indie CDs to buy instead of WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME by posting this shit here??!
Why the fuck DON'T you DIPSHITS read the ARTICLE???? Yes, the FUCKING TITLE which Rob VERY CAREFULLY selects says "Parrot Web Browser".. actually it's a fucking FOUR-SLIDE SLIDE SHOW they're using to HELP MEASURE THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE AFRICAN GREY!! Was it so FUCKING IMPORTANT to you to get 24th post that you COULDN'T SIT DOWN AND READ FOR FIVE MINUTES??!?!?!
You FUCKING KARMA WHORE!!! I'm going to come over there and RIP YOUR FUCKING EYES OUT with my FINGERNAILS!! Did you READ anything about marketing plans?!? If anything, the only plans they have for this thing is KEEPING THE BIRD QUIET so people STUPID ENOUGH to own a parrot in the first place can GET SOME FUCKING SLEEP once in a while!!!
I think there's something vaguely communist about having your entire filesystem exposed to the whole world!! Shit! If any 15 year old CRACKER can GET ACCESS to your files through a fucking PAPERCLIP BUDDY or some other HALF-ASSED PIECE OF SHIT EXPLOIT, then that sounds like COMMUNISM to me!!
Sharing things you DON'T REALLY WANT TO... the basic principle of both KINDERGARTEN.. and COMMUNISM.
I've got a question for you: WHY would I want to partition off my hard drive into tiny chunks and leave gigantic gaps of unusable space when I could just run everything on one fucking file system!? Why should I have to reboot my fucking computer every time I want to play Diablo II, and then reboot it again to read my email??!
now, emulation never matches the real thing (except for gran turismo on Bleem... mmmm) and dual booting windows can't be all that taxing for most people. the only good applications of wine i can see
Do you READ before you POST??!?! At least SIXTEEN PEOPLE have pointed out that WINE is *NOT* emulation!!
Maybe you could save us your blathering redundancies by actually CAREFULLY PERUSING THE ARTICLES like the rest of us instead of just KARMA WHORING by posting the FIRST THOUGHT that comes into your pea-sized brain!
Didn't we have a similar article about 3D searching a week ago?
Don't we see a similar post about there having been a similar article attached to EVERY FUCKING SLASHDOT ARTICLE?
God damn it! The only thing more redundant than Slashdot's articles is the redundancy of people pointing out that redundancy!
Leave the poor fucking guy alone!!
I think they should consider porting...
Did you READ the FUCKING ARTICLE!! This is NOT some GIANT FUCKING CORPORATION putting this project out!! It's ONE GUY with an OBSELETE GAME fetish.. and he's PROBABLY not terribly interested in an OS/2 port!!
Now maybe if you want to PAY him.. or HIRE him.. you might have something.. as it is you're probably just making him VAGUELY NAUSEOUS at the prospect of porting his lame little emulation program to OBSELETE ARCHITECTURES.

Am I clueless or what?
Yes!!!
