At least you don't live in Mexico. The only telephone company here sucks, the service sucks, the prices sucks. Examples (prices converted to us dlls): You can make up to 100 LOCAL calls for about 19 dlls (month), extra calls 18 cents each, long distance about 50 cents by minute, call to any "local" cell phone 29 cents. . . ahhhhh, their internet services: 256k ADSL 60dlls month with 3 year contract; special fees for decline contract.
Apple has better access to the underlying operating system??? . . . then mozilla and whatever browser must be imaginary sinse nobody had access to "underlying" windows.
i'm a linux user since 96 and freebsd since 97. my first version of freebsd was 2.2.2, stable ok, fast ok, but not for a desktop. today a freebsd system is perfec for a common desktop tasks and remains fast and stable. why all te "non-microsoft" initiatives are focused on linux?
lo siento muchachos pero no me voy a poner a pelearme con un diccionario para poner mi mensaje. . .
Para que nos hacemos??? creo que hay espacio para todos y si bien yo somo muchos de ustedes con seguidores de algun *nix (yo lo soy de FreeBSD) bien es cierto que hay necesidades o situaciones en las que sigue siendo necesario MS y una o dos de sus herramientas.
Yo soy desarrollador de software y no voy a obligar a mis clientes a que instalen linux o lo que sea con tal de quitarles windows asi que tengo que usar windows y herramientas de desarrollo para windows (delphi rules). . . por otro lado esta la gente conocedora y que no teme experimentar, es ahi conde podemos introducir nuestro *nix favorito.:))
eMexico review. . . curiously by a mexican.

Microsoft vs. Ximian

I was send a comentary about one week ago about eMexico, the proposal from Miguel de Icaza (ximian) to Mexico's president Vicente Fox and Microsoft. I dont know WHY my comentary was not posted. . . Whatever.
I'm a 25 year old mexican, i have started with computers 13 years ago and droped the school 4 years ago.
The problem in Mexico isn't to use or not to use open-source software, the problem on Mexico isn't Microsoft, the really big problem in Mexico is the incompetence of the educational stuff; from the department of education to teachers; to elemental education to highschool, even universities.
For our disgrace (remember? i'm mexican) the president and their people only wants popularity and problems like misery of 50% (or more) of the population are irrelevant.

if linux is the mos popular OS. . . what's windows???
i'm (like several slashdoters) tired of .net vs java benchmarks. . . is out there a .net vs perl vs php vs java benchmark?

borland c++ free compiler
