Thanks for the typical slashdot pendant reply that told no one nothing they didn't know already but stoked your own ego. You added so much to the discussion by doing so we all couldn't have done without it.
I know the GNOME fanboys will mod me -1 but I don't care. Fanboys are just afraid of the truth.
I love it when all the GNOME fanboys come out. They always raise the GTK red hering too. GTK is not a problem. The BSD ans LGPL are not a problem. Those arguments have been over for some time. Get a grip on it man.
When GNOME can allow you set any application up to run on the workspace with simple right clicks and menu selections for the entire process let me know. Until then it's no competetion for KDE. Evolution is ugly even thought it's very good and easy to configure so Ximmian is a joke too. Face it KDE is the window manager most people use and it will be forever. GNOME apps are good and I use a pile of them, on my KDE Window Manager. The GNOME window manager sucks. That is all.
If you think it's pointless don't do it and don't complain unless you are ready to pick up a gun.
That is the only other way you are going to change things. Saying voting doesn't count and not voting assures that what ever you think it doesn't count.
I have been waiting for the revolution to come for 33 years. I am still waiting.
Free speech or not most people never vote or contact their elected reps.
Those are the folks who tend to complain longest and loudest but don't do crap about it.
It's to them I say STFU as they are an irritant to me that the congress critters know they can ignore.
When 30% of the population votes in national elections crap like the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. act and this latest crap get passed with impunity.
I rephrase it didn't vote when you could? Don't bitch about it then.
I didn't say I voted for a 3rd party.
I didn't. One could and that would be a valid vote. I assure you that the Dems took note of those who voted for Nader in thier current thinking.
When was the last time you called you Congressman or Senator? When was the last time you wrote them? I did both this month what about you?
I am sorry you have tried to identify me with yourself and your own self imposed ruined life. Don't tell not to post. Wad that up and jamb it up your rectum sideways so you don't forget it you NAZI fuck.
If you didn't vote don't bitch. If you don't like your choices don't support the main political parties The Greens seem to be getting people elected on the local level and the Libertarians are too.
If that how you feel and you don't vote don't complain then. I voted, I get to complain, if you didn't STFU. I voted to replace my congressmen (actually a woman) and representative. They have all been there too long. Throw them all out and start over.
If you don't like you choice of party start a new one. There is nothing stopping you. I don't belong to either of the major parties they are both totally corrupt. I did vote.
I bet a number of democrats voted for this too. When will people realize we need a complete turnover in D.C.? You just keep sending the same people there over and over and keep getting the same results. It's like banging yourself on the head because it feels good when you stop. Throw all the bumbs out. Elected office was never ment to be a life time occupation. We now are faced with the political ruling class who have superior rights to the citizens. Thats not a republic. Thats a monarchy. Throw them all out and you will not get crap like this warrentless searching.
A man spotted by police driving naked from the waist down with a laptop computer on the passenger seat is facing numerous child pornography charges.
On Wednesday at 5 a.m., Toronto police found a driver going the wrong way on a one-way street in a residential area.
On the screen of the laptop computer was an image of a young girl performing a sex act on an older man.
The laptop had a wireless adapter card (known as a WI-FI card) allowing the accused to access the Internet through any insecure wireless Internet signal (known as War Driving)
.
Members of the Child Exploitation Section of the Sex Crimes Unit were called in.
An investigation revealed that the man also had been downloading child pornography using KaZaa, a peer-to-peer file sharing program and had been posing as a younger man in chat rooms to meet young girls.
A search warrant was executed at the suspect's home where 10 computers and hundreds of compact discs containing hundreds of thousands of images and movies of child pornography were recovered.
Charged with several pornography charges as well as a charge of theft of telecommunications to make child pornograophy was Walter Nowakowski, 35, of Delhi.
Police believe it's the first time anyone has faced theft of telecommunications charges because of a wireless Internet signal.
The accused is in custody and will appear in court Monday for a bail hearing.
Well I tried to read the freeking article but had to stop midway since I started getting sick from the rotting smell of putrefying flesh. Nothing is new here. McBride opens his mouth and lies proceed to escape his lips. Is lieing OK if you are a Mormon? About the only thing he didn't lie about was the name of his company.
It gets back to this. If there is infringing code in Linux that belongs to SCO please show us Mr McBride. You said you would back in the spring. We are still waiting. Another reason to place no trust in you or your company.
Now I read this thread and see astro turfing for SCO. God Save us and mod the loosers -5 waste of human skin please.
It's clear that McBride is doing everthing he can to get his 4 quarters of profit in so he can get paid above the table for once. Someone get me a bucket I am goning to be sick.
Darl; as Rosie O'Donel said "...people who lie get cancer" you better hope it ain't true or your totaly eaten up with it already.
Yup and his pals modded him +3 insightful. Now they will mod us -1 off topic. Moderation is broken if you haven't noticed.

Did you not know?
The news is supposed to "influence public opinion" and "stimlate change" not report the facts so you make your own informed judgment.
That is the "purpose" of the news media according to members of it.
You have to make pictures to fit your facts, not pictures that represent the facts. How else can you stimulate changes that are supportive of your agenda what ever that unannounced agenda may be.
The fact that the press has self appointed it self as the source of facts and truth and as an agent of change is what is outragous, not just the use of manipuluated images. Using a lens as in this case is a manulipulation of an image just as surely as a photoshop job on an image. Neither one is acceptable.
The press can not become part of the story and then claim to be independent and unbiased as is does on a daily basis. A fact the news media will deny when confronted. It's arrogance that shows how little respect the news media have for it's consumers inteligence.
I hate no one. I am simply tired at the US being blamed for the effects 500 years of Europes expanisionst policies, colonalism and economic subigation of others. If there is a problem in the world rest asured it will be laid at the feet of the USA just as you did in your post. It is done to draw away attention from the real trouble. It's never laid at the feet of the european owned multinationals who actually run the US too. God forbid Brazil's poverty and problems in part could be the efffects of it's own oligarcy and failure to come to grips with it's slavery dominated past could be a possible reason. I don't see any US citizens down in the Amazon basin slashing and burning the rain forest down and carrying out ilegal logging operations. It's mostly Brazilians I suspect. I sure don't see any US military force down there enforcing some US edict upon Brazil or enforcing anything on that nation.
I hope Brazil has the will power to get out of Microsofts grasp. But I know it will be hard. Feeding your people should come before exporting money to Redmond. Linux can help to do that. Only one thing can help Brazil in this is Brazil it's self. The UN or some external agency can't do it. Brazil is rich in natural resources and land. If any Nation can develope it's self Brazil can.
No Blunket was pushing this lame ass idea before 9/11 and the new identiy requirement the USA wants from travelers. Many countries like the UK will have years to comply with the USA pasport requirements in any case.
Blunket wants a police friendly state. The UK is not the USA and doesn't even pretend to have some of the civil rights we in the USA take for granted. Like the right to no infer siclence doesn't equal guilt. In the UK sclience infers guilt. Minor differences like that.
If Iraq was invaded for "(wink, wink, nudge, nudge, *cough*oil*cough*)." WTF is mine? I would expect it would be cheap and plentiful by now here in the USA. I also expect I wouldn't be getting told by PG@E there is a natural gas shortage and I would be paying more for it too? Not meaning to be a smart ass can you please explain this. You seem to be quite confident you can. Don't let down my faith in your abilities. After all Iraq is producing 2.5 billion barrels of oil a month now most which is being sold into europe and the middle east by the Iraqi stae oil company it appears. You must be able to explain how the war criminals Blair and Bush are profiting from all this. Really please let us all know.
Didn't you know? "It's for the children" was invented for and by liberal/left tyrants not uptight conservatives who are to stupid to know what kids get up to. The elites know whats good for you now. Don't put up a fuss and don't get caught with your knickers down.
You all wanted to be part of the EU I thought? From what I can gather that means Germany and France want it and the rest of you take it up the bumb.
My sympathy now do like good english people always do and ignore the law.
Won't it be wonderful when Labor adopts the EU constutition without a vote by the people. I know you are all excited over than and can hardly wait.
I know you are all looking forward to getting the the Euro as a currency as well.
But what do I know about draconian laws I live in the US and am therefore a war criminal because of it and my counrty is to be hated and despised for thinking it should be proactive and defend it's self. (Wonder what should happen if islamicists blew up 3,000 frenchmen or germans?)
What your post has to do with Linux and Brazil and how that is good for Brazil which it is very good is beyond me. That said yea I have to remember that next time I see some starving African kid and try I'll and forget the coloinal wars and take overs of the European powers of Africa, Asia and the Orient.
My brother was in the peace corps in Africa where is the EU equal of the peace corps? That is US government/tax funded. The US government gives away tons of food every year to try and keep people from starving to death. The EU and their NGOs run around telling african nations to quit accepting the food aid because it might be GM and cause a third arm to grow out of their dieing childrens heads which is totaly unscientific bullshit. Please give us a break USA hater.
Talking shit amounts for nothing. Just admit you hate the US. You don't even need a reason to hate the US we will understand. But don't fill us full of shit telling us how we don't help out in the 3rd world or we are responsible for it all. When it comes to interventions and wars the US has only been in existance for a little over 200 years. Europe has had a head start of 300 years just in the America's where much of the poverty and racial discriminiation are the result of European colonial actions not that of the USA. Hell Brazil a former colony of Portugal had legalized slavery until 1888! Ilegal ecconomic slavery is still a fact there today in places. Most of the Slaves exported by European slavers went other places than North America. No Europe ins't free of guilt and the damage it has done to other nations is still felt quite strongly today in the americas. How about all those opium addicts in China the UK created? Hell Hong Kong just was returned to China and it's poession was extorted by the British at the barrels of battleships. How about 2 world wars that Europe has just finally recoverd from that were caused by Europeans
In your own words.
I beg your pardon? What kind of help? I think you have missed your history classes, or you have lost your memory or maybe the history classes you attend in the EU don't tell you what really happens outside the EU and the long term consequences of many European interventions on Asia, South America, Africa and Middle East.
If you are talking about a country there is no such place a "America."
So being un-american is BS and everyone should know it.
I am proud to be a citizen of the Unites States of America which is in North America like Canada and Mexico.
Am I am American? Yes a North American, just like Canadians and most Mexicans I hope they are proud people too. Lazy people and the media say the USA is "america" and it's incorrect and they need to be called on it.
To bad so many people have just can say "Microsoft sucks" without letting their personal political agenda bleed through. I am a centrist and libertarian. I hate Microsoft.
My politics have shit all to do with it. MS products are buggy crap and always will be. It's inherent to their design. I use Linux 99.9% of the time. I do because it's about freedom and choice of a superior product. I even pay others for my version of Linux.
How anyone can say Geroge Bush and my distaste of him figures in to Microsoft being fucked to death is beyond me? Can someone please explain how Bush is relavant to Linux?
Saying he or John Ashcroft is some how going get involved in saving Microsofts bacon is stupid and a turn off. I doubt it will ever happen. People will choose Linux because it's better not just because it's open sourced and free.
Trying to tie Linux to a personal political agenda like lots of/. posters do is going to hurt Linux in the long run.
If you picked Linux for political reasons your OS choice is pretty weak.
Radical politics will not help Linux.
Most of the folk on/. including me are outside the mainstream.
If mainsteam adoption of Linux is the goal, turning people off with your wacked out radicalism isn't in the interest of Linux. If that is your goal; to promote your political agenda or turning folks off you need to involve yourself with that and get out of the promotion of Linux. Do us a favor just personaly use Linux to empower yourself not to advance your personal political agenda at the expense of Linux.
God I hope so.
How about the market corrects then and they become just another company like BEA, CA and Oracale. IBM has figured Linux out and even Sun seems to be getting it. The only hold out is Microsoft. I hope the US government stays out of this market correction.
Microsoft can move to India for all I care.
Besides this crapola repeat of the free speech throttling WalMart deal I don't shop anywhere they charge a restocking fee. I don't return stuff that wasnt broken when I bought it or just pure crap. Charging be a restocking fee becuse you sold me junk is bogus. Best Buy can bite me.
