    Buy firearms and lots of ammunition. As long as the population is armed, the government can't have complete control. If you want freedom, be prepared to fight for it because soon you may have to.

    Hello - when Gates wanted to lease people MS software, everyone was up-in-arms. When Steve started the charge $129 for every annual point upgrade, $99 for .Mac annual subscription, and now $49 for the iLife suite, where's the uproar?

    That's cos most mac users are fr4eaking retarded. The only people more retarded than Mac people, are retarded people.

    Novell will continue to support KDE on SuSE, distribute its packages and maintain this offering which is a prime choice of people.

    We're only just getting started. Stay tuned.

    Yeah you are.. and where are you taking us Nat?

    So according to your post, you are saying:

    1. offshore, cheap labor is a goodthing(tm). Yeah i know helping 3rd world countries with Open Source rocks da house, I wanna do it myself. But...

    2. you also say that mimicing the MS development paradigm is the way to linux salvation. Tell me, why do i want ot hear that .ASP.NET is the BEST development model for web applications? Are you gonna tell me next that IIS on Linux is the only webserver I should consider?

    What is this KDe picture you spew forth? I happen to think that KDE is a superior desktop to gnome. Not cos gnome isnt prettier, but because that the foundations to KDE are superior. Is digestion of KDE and the Kompany that helps its development, and you say:

    "Yes, we will still support KDE on SuSE. However, we hope to use this opportunity to provide Linux developers and ISVs with a single stable platform for desktop application development."

    Really? What does that mean? Where are we going today Nat?

    I wanna trust you, but the filters in my mind see this weird sort of scam being played in slo-mo. A lot of this has to do with the fact, no one from your camp has ever answered the questions posed in a truthful manner.

    Answer them, and make us truly feel at peace with where you are taking us. Cos you sure are taking us for a ride....

  12. Re:what Nat forgot :) on Putting Novell's SuSE Purchase In Perspective · · Score: 1

    up until the suse purchase this morning, we actually had a link to gnome.org on the front page of novell.com. Look around for a link to gnome.org on sun's site- it's not on the front page, and it's not in the Java Desktop main page, either.

    And where is KDE in that picture?

    So what your'e trying to tell me is, computer users who have previously spent their time using an OS that assumes you are, and treats you like an intelligent user, and thus requiring you to be one, are switching to an OS that treats you like a lobotomized primate??

    My theory: They were all Macfanbots anyway when they were using Linux. I say let them go, maybe they will stop influencing Gnome development.

    Luckily the Web Standards Project has been talking to Macromedia since before the first MX product line, and MM has complied rather well according to them.

    I am not sure how the auto generated code is, but I have used MX 2004 for a little tester, and the feature I saw was deeper integration with the CSS standard when making your pages, in the hand coding way. Which of course you can do with dreamweaver. I wouldnt even touch it if you couldnt.

    So explain your aversion to split windows? I use them *all* the time for moving files around. I find it super easy, and super helpful.

    I heard the reason there will be no splits is because it is too confusing for the user. I disagree.
