I don't know the answers to any of your questions, sorry.
Except for the one about where I've been: Anywhere but Slashdot. It makes me want to kill people, and all their offspring, and burn down their houses, so their seed will not further infect the earth.
It will work for the same reason that the MPAA works. Slashdotters are the population segment that has the highest average hatred for the MPAA, yet you all stood in line for days to watch the release of Star Warts.
You'll play Microsoft's games for the same reason: They are like crack to you, and you'll do anything to get them.
I can't wait for the glowing review of MS's Star Wars game that will no doubt grace this site's pages in the near future. If it gets your money despite your distaste for Microsoft, it will get the money of all of the less rabid, more intelligent gamers.
Now that I think about it, I'd rather have a tattoo. A bar code on my arm or somewhere else out of sight, but could be displayed whenever it was necessary.
I don't see what prevents someone from stealing your National ID Card and thus your entire identity. If anything, your card makes it easier for identity theft to occur.
This is why I have always lobbied that we use some kind of biometric signature, like an eye scan, or a thumbprint, or a voice map, or something. Even a tattoo would work fine, a bar code or something.
I'm not, but its because I'm not a child raping, jobless, wretched, filthy, odiferous, malcontent Linux programmer.
If you really want to see it but won't because you're afraid that you'll be coerced into buying something then you exceed the lameness quotient of even the Commander Taco's of the world who will spend half their day standing in line jabbering to a guy in a Yoda suit about how you would bang Natalie Portman if you got the opportunity, which you wouldn't, because I think she prefers men who bathe more often than her dog, let alone the fact that you'd probably find something to complain about during the events leading up to the consummation and thereby screw the entire thing up like it was an Open Source software business.
Anyone who spends more than 30 seconds thinking about whatever the upcoming Star Trek / Wars movie deserves a full blown, full can, knock down, drag out, bloody, surly, ruthless, face wrenching beating.
It will be on 12 CDs because it, like all Linux distros, is bloated as hell.
On the plus side you'll be getting GB after GB of half completed, inferior, shitty, useless software that you can dick around with all day instead of working to earn money you could use to buy a decent OS.
I seem to remember about 142 other posts that made the same point as yours. Maybe you didn't catch them, or are too fucking stupid to understand any of them, but they are out there. Indeed, I wouldn't be suprised that one of them has exactly the same words as yours.
Next time, why not just shut up for once? You know damn well that every single one of you geeks thinks exactly the same thing on every issue. You know that none of you have had an original thought in years. Any three of you could generate every single opinion that has appeared on this site in its entire history.
If you don't get in in the first 20 posts or so, you know that whatever you are thinking will already have been pointed out. Why bother?
A false logical assumption? I'm writing my congressman.
I didn't believe the first 86 posts I read that pointed out that the analogy was bad. Now that you use the term 'false logical assumption' things suddenly become clear.
Don't let anyone convince you that you are a moron for posting the same thing that everyone else did. You redeem yourself by being such a wordsmith.
Oh, you caught the flaw in the analogy? And you felt compelled to point it out to the Slashdot crowd?
How thoughtful of you, and sharp minded too.
Really. Not only are you smart, but even after, say, 40 other posts pointed out exactly the same thing, you went ahead and threw your $0.02 in. Thats the kind of tenacity I like to see.
This assumes that the project administrator will not be an amateur.
Considering that we are talking about Sourceforge there is a 99.9999% chance that you will be wrong and VNC will end up like 99.9999% of the projects there: A half finished, worthless, Microsoft trailing, unworkable, unsupported, undocumented, lame, weak, buggy, crash prone, cobbled together, ugly, slow, annoying piece of shit that no one will ever use to anything productive at any time ever.
And VNC is pretty far along right now. If anyone can fuck it up, it'll be some guy who uses Sourceforge.
So your plan is to rip up every inch of highway and replace it with something that will allow lighweight deathtrap cars with lawn mower engines to merge with traffic?
The man has indeed damaged economies. The only reason he hasn't actually destroyed any is because there wasn't enough money in going further. Ask Argentina, or the Swedes. Ask anyone who did business with the British pound a few years ago. He is smart, smart enough to put 10s of billions of dollars on the line when he has complete control over what will happen. All of his recent big currency speculations have hinged on whether or not he could affect some change in a nation's economy. Corrupt politicians were part of the equation, but Soros was at the top.
Soros would set a puppy on fire if he could figure out a way to turn a buck off of it. His Open Society is a full blown ruse. It is only open if by open you mean that your life is open enough for the government to see everything you do, which I suppose puts him in the limp wristed, whiny, leftist category.
Right now the guy is probably calling up one of his buddies in the IRA, arranging a hit on me. I need to make more money so I can combat this kind of crap.

But I'm here anyway, so we'll see how it goes.

Just read Slashdot. It is a pro-Microsoft ad and doesn't even know it.
This fully refutes every point made by the parent comment, why hasn't it been modded up?
Much like Linux, it is $34.99 per copy up front, $50 million / year in lost productivity.
Now that I think about it, I'd rather have a tattoo. A bar code on my arm or somewhere else out of sight, but could be displayed whenever it was necessary.

Stop being so annoying. It is just a movie.
First Logged In Post you fuckers.
Karz meant that he wants more access to kids, which should go over well given the fact that most geeks are pedophiles.

Wages are indirectly based on expenses, thats a good one! I'm almost fucking crying.
Its just you you bacon grease drinking shut in Linux developer.
Yeah, god forbid a bunch of chicks show up. That would ruin your sausage fest.

I don't know what I would do if you weren't around, I would have had no idea that she was trying to slip one by me. Thanks buddy, go fuck yourself.
How thoughtful of you, and sharp minded too.

You lame ass, the CMP is cool as fuck. I recommend getting an M44 before they sell out.
