    Why do the fanatic few of the /. community want MS to die? Think about it. (emphasis added)

    Come on, what did you expect? Fanatics don't think, didn't you know? They say irrational things and do things for irrational reasons.
    If you don't like that, you are on your own to find rational explanation to what they did. Your only solution is to:

    1. ignore them;
    2. fight them;
    3. laugh at them;
    4. or help them see your light.
    I like #3 better. I find myself laughing at me all the time. God I hate Microsoft! Let's DESTROY them!!! (Fanatic Laugh in backgroud ... HA HA HAAAA! ... )
  4. Re:Desktop vs. Server Operating System is bullshit on Why Isn't BSD a Desktop Operating System? · · Score: 1

    You're wrong, man (well, I mean, I disagree w/ you). The worse is still there. Try to connect x users to a Win200 Advanced Server and it will reject all users with a connection number > y, where y maps to mucho mucho $$$ that you had to pay for your y-seat license. Basically, Microsoft forces you to buy an OS, then forces you to pay insane license fees because that OS is being used by more than one person. That's pure robbery. What next? They going to make me pay extra each time I get an email from somebody else?

  8. the Fishman Affidavit on Scientology vs. Panoussis Ruling · · Score: 4
    This is the Fishman Affidavit, with explanation on this other web site.

    Snapshot:

    " The Church of Scientology (or: CoS; or: Co$, as some of their opponents call it) sells its followers expensive courses which, if students study them carefully, are supposed to set them free ('clear' them). A former Scientology member, Steven Fishman, was brought before court because he committed several crimes in order to get the money to pay for these courses. Scientology urged him to get the money any which way he could. According to Fishman, they also assigned him to kill somebody, and failing that, ordered him to commit suicide. In an interview for Time Magazine, Fishman relayed those stories and blamed Scientology for his crimes. Scientology sued him for slander."

  9. Target Audience on Rebel Code · · Score: 2

    One has to wonder what the target audience for that book really is. Who is going to read it? Linux advocates and OpenSource geeks? If so, it will probably be only those amongst us who are interested in the detailed history of their own movement and who have too much time on their hand. I am interested, but I have no time to read the book. Moreover, I wonder how much of that information I don't already know just by reading through my favorite web sites during the last few years.
    So J.K. apart, who will go and buy the book?
    And who will really read it entirely?

  10. Shutdown TCP-IP between you and Microsoft on Microsoft Ties DRM Technology To Windows · · Score: 2
    I believe the latest Office upgrade already calls up Microsoft.com during the registration process... This can be bypassed, but for how long?

    I personally have a couple of microsoft.com and msn.com addresses in my etc/host file. They all point to 127.0.0.1. This is not a problem for me since I never go to Microsoft's websites. But if I had to, I think I would use an anomyzer site to keep some distance between the beast and me. Better to remove that TCP-IP route between MS and me since I don't need it. But maybe Microsoft does...

    Stop complaining about BEA. It is certainly not the best App Server out there and it is not the cheapest, but it is a lot better than the extremely crappy and expensive one I am forced to use.

    Come on KtB, you were complaining about nazism two posts ago, and now you agree with ideas like survival of the fittest... If that sentence is not pure nazism, then we didn't read the same history book!

    And by the way there is a fair number of physically challenged people living on medicine to sustain their life who have contributed considerably to technology, art or entreat associations. Should you have killed them / let them die because they were not fitted enough according to your rules? What about their fantatic brain power, love or creativity?

    We don't live anymore in caves and don't go hunting with our bare hands to get food. We don't need to be able to outrun a Grizzly or fight without medicine all virii and infections we come across.
