Taxation is contractual. You are all operating through contracts for your taxation. Should you agree to any contract that annotes as you declaring to abide by all United States and Federal laws, you may be taxed. So, be of good cheer...unless you agreed to any federal laws. Being without contract would suggest you as being self-governing and within the bounds of Uniform Commercial Code and suggests that contracts are voluntary. Do not place your mark on any contract and do not grant any fiduciary control of your properties and effects to the United States and its Federal administrative body. They provide no services in exchance for the financial transaction known by scope as "taxation of the internet."
You are a sovereigned nation until you agree to contracts that abridge your sovereignty.
This has everything to do with the FCC. The FCC declares itself by contract as your regulation of your usage of propogation of Radio Waves. It is by contract, so this means that you are not regulated when you are not operating on their contract; yet by agreeing by contract to any Federal regulation of the United States would initiate you under a clause that ensues you to accept any administrative action of the Federal government regardless of defined scope of the initial regulation. The sky is their limit.
[try to] Have a nice day.
I know I will, because I have prosected the United States Federal government under the uniform guidlines as being compelled to contract by a non-commercial private organization (United States). Figure it out. If you already figured it out, then you would have already known that their laws are only as good as them forcing a non-qualified golden badge, a non-affirmed oath or affirmation, and a barrel of a gun down your throat to comply with their regulation. Perhaps their silence on these matters inspires the credibility of their accountability; should you be compelled to participate in the same tacticts as they do or do they not like the fellow competition of fraud? Light them up, kick them out...you can't do that when you lack millions of people (thinking of ghandi) or guns (think of 2nd ammendment of your Constitution).
Realistically, when did it become their information super-highway? And another thing, when did it becom their public highways to post road tolls? When will you choose to not abridge your freedoms by contract? It is only as good as your aim...
I spoke with one of the devlopers. Real nice people. To summarize his statment, they are not yet a full-time LGP staff and unlike Loki they are choosing game titles that do not summon exaggerated licensing fees. Loki dove head-first into porting software to Linux and admirably performed verry well despite their financial loss in an earlier Linux market. LGP has the benefits of Loki's base (snickering) because:
1) LGP has chosen to utilize the verry mature Simple Direct Media Layer (http://www.libsdl.org) 2) Interacts with a more mature and aware market for Linux 3) chose applications that do not tend the verry-high royalties Loki crippled under 4) the applications chosen have merit in their gamplay, fun-factor, and presentation.
Majesty Gold! Disciples 2! Bandits! These are fun games that were ignored in the Microsoft Windows markets simply becase there were much more "shiny lures" that attracted all the "fish." LGP spear-headed Tzar, but then decided not to based on the comments of a minority of people in the Linuxgames.com and Happypenguin.org forums. LGP is well on its way to fill the void that Loki over-marketed and here we have a verry predictable startup mustering its nets around as many herring as possible. LGP is in hopes of marketing to all isles of the Linux gamers: Athlon, Pentium, PowerPC, and a few others. We, and owners of our computer software and hardware, have received LGP with baited hering breath.:-) They chose the software on merits as being gamers too and LGP is hardcore gaming! They will only die once, as did Loki! Lets have some fun with their software.
All work is contracted by the method of "financial transaction" unless you declare otherwise in some matter. In an economy, you, I, and others seek property and services and such of those is a contract initiated for property and services by receiving a "receipt." Yes, it is misleading and places a contracted party at risk by not receiving or providing a receipt for a contracted work. In the world that we somewhat know, there are laws that keep every matter of interstate economy for proper administrative managment by its respective participants (voluntary:participants). The most complex of these laws that people and organizations operate upon is known as Tort law and Conract law. In my experience, Contract law is simply a constructed document of statments and agreements and administrative grant of action and process (legaly binding) that may or may not define an exchange of services (financial transaction) as well as abridg any laws or rights granted to any participant of the contract as defined therein. Contracts are tricky, and I know you'll find an easier-understood defenition at Dictionary.com, yet I am in consideration that a contract means much more. Tort law is only operative in absence of a contract. Tort is law that deals with all varying specific topics from organized property and land disputes to redress of varying grievances and activities that have effected another party in some negatory way in absnce of any contract to do so. Tort is how the private world in its unabridged capacity, operates administrativly with others.
here is a difference between a license and certification. A license is a contract and is entirly a voluntary act. A contract, in this world, is to be held accountable for the elements in the contraction, our obligations in a said contract, or by the pre-scribed conclusion of the contract will it be legal to receive the actions of a prescribed administrative authority to choose the contracted anecdotal action in compliance with the contract. What I just summarized as a license is true to my current sustained knowledge. A certification is different from a license in respect that certification is an oath or affirmation that is in-part a construction of true statments by another agency. Yes, a(n) (MCSE) Mictosoft Certified Systems Engineer is somone that received a certificate of oath or affirmation from an agency of Microsoft that declares such statments on paper upon presentation to another agency: "I'M CAPABLE OF PRESSING A POWER BUTTON AND I CAN FDISK YOUR HARDRIVE TO LALA LAND" or some variation of what I quoted an MCSE of stating to me outside of oath or affidavit. Licenses are contracts and it is illegal to force anyone into a contractual relationship and may only be accomplished voluntarily. So, in true form, it is illegal for me to be arrested for operating my automobile (not a Motor Vehicle) on public roads/highways/streets/wherever (10th ammendment and 1st ammendment), with respect to private, and it will be illegal for any such claim of jurisdiction of another organization to apply and illegal for my property to be seized and myself placed under arrest and/or further thrown into jail should I not posses a "Driver's License" because such is the utility of instrumentality which abridges rights and grants jurisdiction to another organization which I did not. Where does this all tie together, you may ask? Please bear with me as I reach my conclusive presentation to you on Tort law and Contract law...
A receipt is issued for property and services and this signifies a conract: a financial transaction. Should any such damage of property or services arise within the contracted work of the other party you chose, then the contract has been violated and it is up to you to arrange for a judge of the law to "see" your case and recognize and enforce the redress of damages/grievances that occured at the hands of the other party with respect to your AGREEMENTS on the services in your contract. Contract law applies to States (a state is a people and not the government thereof). If the issue is not contracted, and the agencies in the non-contracted action are operating in their capacity, the issue is within the constrains of Tort law. Quite obviously, the rememdies within Contract law is beyond the scope of your contracted work and damages received (not scribed); judges choose how to administer any default remedy upon the defendent that you hold responsible for any breaches of the contracted work the defendent pledged. In many respects to freedom, Tort law has been slithered-around by the United States just so they may choose any such remedy for incorrect services rendered; you, as a United States Citizen|citizen, have agreed to the DMCA, RIAA, MPAA, STATE OF ______, and any other such federal organization to administer judgment on your behalf and as well you agree to receive judgment from them and agree to all their administrative procedure.
In the end, a Certification is just as capable of being untrue as well as a Contract violated. There will always be people in the computer repair business of hair-dress business that will act in opposite of the statments present in their certification of their skills yet it is upto you to adress such facts in a court of law or an officer of the court(notary). Did I make sense?
Keep in mind to not rest at the first definition of any word you may see...lawyers tend to stretch definitions of words beyond space and time so you'll need a second opinion as well from those under authorship of the english language in all its capacity. I must cease my endless bable at a recommendation to a website that focuses its persona on laws and how they apply.
On eBay, I witnessed 4 3Dfx Voodoo6 6000 AGP graphics acclerators sold and each one of them included *working* MS Windows 2000 drivers and sold on average for $1200.00 !!
I haven't checked on eBay for over two months, but every once in a while someone sells one of these limousine 6000's! I have installed two Voodoo5 5500 PCI graphics accelerators on my Linux computer and as much as people giggle about the size of the Voodoo5, I always remind them the 57 chevy is of a heavy construction yet your ferrari doesn't turn heads compared to the wonderful and healthy *sound* and power of my 57 chevy's engine of my engine.
Just yesterday, a bigger (bad) and meaner donut shop opened next to a starbucks and sold a more expensive donut...StarLucks still went out of business.
The more expensive donut was tasty and customers agreed to pay for it. It was discovered that this bigger donut shop profiled and contracted with all noticable StarLucks employees to cut off their pinky fingers when buying their donuts. As a result in the StarLucks workplace, employees became noticabley rude as they lifted no pinky finger when they poured its customer's coffee. StarLucks is now out of business, because every employee working the coffee machine was unable to perform. Although this is a sad day, nobodoy will miss StarLucks simply because they agreed to this bigger donut company's contract.
And in similar fassion in other related events, Sendo agreed to Microsoft's contracted terms. We know the average slashdotter would not have agreed to such terms as what Sendo chose with Microsoft, but this is Sendo's choice and they chose to agree.
Uhh.. Score 5? Someone's got an odd concept of Capitalism. Capitalism works fine when everyone's honourable, and keeps their word, and basically plays the game. People make products and make money. Best product wins (votes=money). MS, as usual, are breaking the rules, and pulling their own game (kill all other contenders), which isn't Capitalism. In Capitalism, you end up with a flourishing ecosystem of companies providing a variety of competing products. Evolution selects the best. In the MS game, you end up with one monolithic power providing what it thinks is best for people. In fact, MS' way is more like communism than capitalism. "To each unto their needs'.. MS decides what each person needs, and that's what they get, like it or not. It attempts to take all competition out of the arena, so, if you want an office suite, you have MS office, as MS has killed the competition. So, really, MS is anti-capitalist.
With respect to your good grasp of anti-immoral behavior (I'm smiling), you are flawed; you defined a Free Market, not Capitalism. I love you, please read my post and tell me what you think. Capitalism is the basis of wealth being influence and this is greatest known by the barter system and nothing more. We all *barter* paper money because a bigger organization (my ex is United States LLC) has removed competition of tender by setting fire or destroying the competing mints around America. What you defined is a Free Market. A Free Market allows everyone to create their own policy, whether written or non-written. Non-written agreements are masqueraded as implied agreements and are variably illegal. A ozium is an unseen contract; be verry afraid of those. A Free Market respects the use of CONTRACTS only to the effort of them being uphelf by various means of either force, brutality, or voluntary obligation of trust, so don't get pissed at Microsoft before reading my previous comment in this forum on contractual obligations and their legality.
I'm just helping. I'm sovereign, so I'm a verry different point-of-view from all the electricity-generating humans that are still plugged-in to the Matrix (United States LLC, a corporation).
Sendo and Microsoft made an agreement that is contractual. Sendo agreed to it; kick and scream all you want. This is simply unfounded anger you have towards Microsoft. We know you think Sendo is victim and want to be Sendo's mother, but Sendo is a corporation and does not act in your interests. We should all be angry with Microsoft trying to issue end-user-license-agreements that were not agreed to and the non-agreed-to EULA's have no *legal* merit.
If Sendo didn't agree to the contract, then there wouldn't be a problem; it is all contractual so stop making Sendo look like they are innocent and didn't know Microsoft would remove every one of its employee's left genitals or whatever they agreed to.
What *would* be a valid *legal* case would be if the business-relations personel were issued mis-leading, construed, or incomplete statments by Microsoft to compel the agreement on such terms that were verbally unfounded in the contract. What contract did Sendo agree upon or was Sendo competent of the terms of the contract it agreed to? It is upto Sendo to make its own case in its lawsuit, not any of us. If Microsoft releases affirmed statments that Sendo made such a contractual agreement, and Sendo releases affirmed statments that it reached such a contractual agreement, then they are both talking about the same contract; otherwise, we are talking about two completly different contracts that are being spoken of and confused with; one that is written and one this is non-written(and illegal/not contractual). An affirmed contract for Sendo to supply Microsoft 5 million phones is different than an affirmed contract for Sendo to supply Microsoft 5 million phones including each Sendo employee's left genital. Before anyone disputes my text, Sendo and Microsoft are currently within jurisdiction of the United States (Federal corporation) government's rules and regulations and it is upto them to provide any such evidence that may nullify contracts that are issued incomplete. Civil Code of Procedure does not apply here, the Constitution of the united States of America may apply, so lets all here some facts that perhaps have not been allowed to receive outside a court of law.
A lesson on how speculation can hurt you.

Speculation will hurt you as well as everything.
Saying that Michael Sim's mother is a cheap whore is quite dangerous in this day and age.
From what I heard, guns are being out-lawed in Europe and robbery is on the rise. Residents, including individual's pre-judicially accused as being whores, are pumping iron and are now much more avid in persuing the the subjective bastard that violates their peace.
As I'm writing this, you better remove your speculation of Michael Sim's mother being a whore and I'll drop my speculation of Michael Sim's mother topless, swinging towards your house in trees, flailing a machete around her head, hell-bent on chopping you down to (Chunky) Kibbles and bits to feed to her bug-eyed piranha-goldfish.
My statments are considerable. Anyone and everyone with a data connection to the "internet" is under contract for a monetary sum of influence. This "influence" is better know as "money" in human respects. I provided all the necessary evidence to prove my point. Microsoft's hotmail.com, as well, is registered as a for-profit organization. Company policy is not legal and many times "policy" is confused with "contractual agreement." Be sure to check policies of other companies, both customer and employee, that have not been honored, have been honored, and their legally-enforcable status.
I must rate your conclusion as highly illogical. Microsoft's hotmail.com eMail service is registered as a for-profit organization. Being registered as such, it is logical to assume that hotmail.com will do whatever in their ability to reach a profit with the last effort. Statisticly, organizations that have reached profit from "spamming" have been low, yet other than anti-spam software, there is no evidence supporting the statistic of this trend to fail. We must consolidate our knowledge that the many data networks, which compose the modernly-known "Internet", are highly regulated by service providers and any such users of defined-excessive inter-networked bandwidth will be regulated for so-called "service fee." The Internet, in respect to organizations advertising services for varrying tangible and non-tangible data-performances, is not free and is contracted by administrative bodies throughout its range including and not limited to the FCC.
Such is the cost for the "stability" that is inherent from the "internet" and its vary administrations and governments which regulate it.
Someone, on Slashdot, is posting information for a comparison between the 386SX and 386DX platforms. I can't wait to replace my agin DEC Alpha with one of these! oh wait... Can you imagine, a distributed NCP cluster of these?
The question, "What should I do with my life", wreaks of neo-politics. The question is anti-freedom, with its intention. It forces people to choose their goals "NOW" and not let your interests determine your goal. People who ask this question are the same who "demand respect" and the people who leave the question up to a matter of privacy are the ones who are honerable.
How many people ask eachother this same question with variation and how many people do not and leave it a matter of personal interest. What would an abortionist do with their life? What would Albert Einstein do with his life? What would a police officer do with [his/her] life? What would bubble-gum do with its life. It's disguised intent to control someone's verry nature.
The better question is, "Why would you ask that question?" and "Why do you hold me obligated to answer?"
Being forced to answer, I respond with..."To protect the world from devastation. To unite all people in this Nation. To denounce the evils of truth and love. To extend our reach to the stars above. RMS! ESR! Blasting off at the speed of light. Surrender now, or prepare to fight. Linus, Linus, that's right!"
Of course I would say that...nobody knows what I'm realy going to do in the future and nobody should bother asking because everyone knows the world is fascist and forces you to choose what to do. I have a fifth ammendment you pricks!
They try to put Palladium into the hardware...impossible to be removed. Programs will be built to interact with some ASIC(s) and without those they will be rendered non-compatible? Wrong...all the software you will be using to work-around Palladium-endabled software will just be (vile grin) virus-like. The anticipated approach for customers that will not buy Palladium-enabled hardware is to implement Palladium in the software. More risky, but still effective. With all matters in consideration, Palladium will fail because 2 million world-wide crackers have more skill in manipulating software than you think...the vocal ones have a penguin or bsd_daemon sticker on their shirt.
Think big happy thoughts for the future of Microsoft, because we all will remember the happy thoughts that give people more functionality with their Computer(TM) whether open or closed source.
You have just now defined a monopoly. You should have realized this about 75% completiong of your comment. Playing Devil's Advocate: Should Microsoft port its applications to IA64 or let it die? This is also not a well-thought post and wreaks of legacy apeal, of which AMD's Opteron benefits from. Itanium has never failed. The Linux kernel and all the supporting software to feature a stable and near-fully-featured operating system has been completed nearly 6 months ago! Itanium-based computers were available from HP, IBM, and Dell. Intel is releasing an Itanium2. Binary compatibility for X86 is non-existant in the Itanium and Itanium2 because it is a completly New Architecture. Support for Microsoft Windows and old DOS programs does not constitute binary compatibility of an architecture; that is the operating systems job to define. Yes, lack of Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) on IA64 will not alure retail Microsoft-brand customers to Intel...Linux will lure customers to Intel that need a somewhat Unix-compliant environment that once again (Alpha platform) features 64bit precision. What is the difference between a standards-compliant C program compiled in Linux/x86 versus Linux/IA64? The end-product's binary interaction with the architecture is what is different; protocol compliancy is retained. GPL software is just a quick compile away for IA64 by independant programmers and users. The real issue is in the non-opensource or non-interested programmers to port their software to the new protocol-compliant OS/platform. Looking at it another way, you didn't define a monopoly by Microsoft(R). As long as GNU and Linux are around, there is no monopoly from Microsoft(R) to speak of. Yes, Microsoft *tries to force companies out of business by doing certain things, but every company retains their freedom(TM) to contract with others...Linux is the monopoly of IA-64 in this respect, or whoever the fuck someone says should be accountable for another company's product; which IMHO is why I think political opinions/statments and the commercial(contract) world is evil and everyone is better off to be recognized by the goodness of their work, mind, and soul.
IA64 and Opteron both have their markets; Linux bridges them together with *protocol* compatibility: which Microsoft chooses to *not* dream about. Microsoft is rumored(announcment without supporting evidence) to be porting Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) to IA64; just nothing yet. Linux-based software has already been operating on first generation Itantium; look on eBay and notice how expensive Itanium realy is for par-Pentium4 performance with a thoroughly-engineered architecture.
On the user-end, all IA-64 and Opteron systems are expected to perform in a stable manner. Question: Do end-users blame Microsoft or Intel/AMD/IBM/VIA for their computer crashes? Nice to clear things up on your perception of absence of Microsoft support for IA-64. I hope I didn't appear to be rude or yelling in any way...or maybe I'm too late and you are off in the jungle swinging towards my adobe with a machete. I can make guacamole and I have tortilla chips fresh from the oven...:%) (please be gentle)
It is a reference, not a bible, and not thee Bible(R). Authors of this book, please do not confuse a Reference with a bible. A bible would include commandments and regulations. A bible is a code of law. "RedHat 8 Bible" is both improper use of the string "Bible" and incorrectly implied to actually being a reference to the Work(TM).
In a bible, I expect to find laws(code) such as, yet "RedHat 8 Bible" contains none:
Though shalt not steal software marked for per-user usage. Though shalt enjoy the free beer and free speech software and keep them wholey and good. Though shalt not use the X Windowing System in vain (implying KDE and Gnome are evil). Though shalt honor thy initd process.
None of those were found in the said "RedHat 8 Bible" and it is too late to re-label it as "RedHat 8 Reference." As usual, open the book and you immediatly see notes as it being a "reference." oi
Let us face the facts...the Line-driven phone system is surprisingly obsolete.
In Poland, and many other countries I don't remember, the Phone system consists of a cellular network! Many people disagree with cellular systems, out of fear of medical influences; that is reasonable. Yet ther is no other ethical wireless alternative to microwave other than what? Pick somthing that doesn't need to be ran through a medium; fiber optice need not apply, infrared could imply somthing good, wire is back to stage1. The total cost of ownership of modern phone booths on an out-dated phone system is the problem. They take too much space, too much maintenance, and are generally not reliable in all situations of elemental emergency (vehicles that smash into them, storms, vandelism,etc). What they need is a more ethical data-networked system. Future phone booths may as well be a service provided by a local internet cafe, that is the technology I think will reserect the layed-off.com people back into a profitable battle. A phone booth today gives me no reason to visit it...unless I can download the latest linux kernel in less than 100 seconds for $1.00. With such a more efficient data network, membership would be based on unlimited use, bandwidth/quality that you desire, congestion status of the network, and/or a random non-member use that is payable at the node (aka receptacle/phone).
Total cost of ownership of computer hardware is much lower than qualified line installers running around an area creating ground loops and phucking with a phreaking system of accousticly line-driven phones. Can you imagine, maybe membership of your internet service provider could provide access to such a future communication booth. That is worth the clustered effort for such as wireless system!
a drunk driver...runs off the street and smashes the payphone.
a wet road under speeding traffic...a car runs off the road and smashes the payphone (or respective callbox).
a robbery...the crooks hide inside the payphone and direct to the police what the get-away car and robbers looked like and lead the police away from them for a clean get-away.
a building on fire...the fire-department must shutdown electricity and gas in the surrounding area and that includes payphones because the common modern payphone requires power for all of its "features" and will not operate with mere line voltage.
a tornado...payphones are first to be ripped out of the ground and crushed under chickens, eggs, and toaster ovens.
a flood...phone circuits are shorted and no longer work.
a lightning storm...phone circuit operators must hide in a special room or else the lightning will run through their patch pannel and zap anyone who has fillings in their teeth (everyone).
a hurricane...there is no payphone.
the matrix...only good for a secure phone call less than 10 seconds, else some guy in a tuxedo drives a cement truck into the same booth you are occupying.

The only two seemingly intelligent posters in this messageboard of slashdot appear to be FnkMaster and Doctor K. What both of these.users and many other slashdotters are arguing about is whether the consequence of fission will be "ethical." They are becoming confused in their arguments, slashdotters are releasing their own "statments" based on implied statments of actual people active in this study, whether fission is actually happening versus is not ethical...confused with fission is impossible. And many people are mispelling fission as "fision." Go figure?
The SUN of our solar system is currently in fission. If it were a humanoid-ethicaly-described fission then it would be producing energy while sustaining its mass. However, the SUN of our solar system is somehow imperfectly in fission and by way of saying, it is releasing energy and it grows and shrinks and all kinds of unknown events are occuring. If the SUN was a perfect fission, then it wouldn't "burn-out" in the predicted 5 billion years someone here on slashdot (forgive me) stated. Perfect fission would not "burn-out" in any time, it would be perpetual. What humans want to attain is fission that sustains its own reaction and then release energy to be converted to somthing useful. The SUN is not doing this. The SUN will "burn-out." Should this prove that the super-entity (God?) is not able or chose not to produce a fission to sustain itself? I don't know the intention of the super-entity in creation of our SUN. Is it possible to achieve what the super-entity chose to not implement? Yes, and this shows that there is a reason the SUN will "burn-out" and it is short of someone's land-lord saying "pack your bags and get your ass off my property" or a human's parents saying "get out and go travel the world."
That is some verry spooky shit, if you ask me. And more reason for us all to start delving into our books to implement our idea of a "ethical" fission just so we would be prepared to sustain ourselves in absence of another source of energy. Better yet, why bother trying when our own lifetime is exceptionally short. Chicken or Egg is the survey of today? Ok, that is somewhat similar to the uber-argument. Should it be bio-engineered enhancment of our good-health and lifetime or "ethical" fission? I say Chicken...then Egg.
I had two associations with RedHat...RedHat 5.2 for x86 and RedHat 7.0. RedHat 5.2, to my first newbie perception, was quite stable with my hardware and I didn't need to upgrade any of the software to use any of the latest TCL/TK and commercial programs X11-based programs unless somthing Gnu came along and I of'course had to hunt and seek the elusive toolkit on freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net. However, enter the 7.0 and after buying and installing 7.0 on my x86 and Alpha, I had all kinds of problems that were specific to RedHat; bleeding-heart beta Gnu C Compiler was used, software wouldn't compile, and as well they decided to use all kinds of other out-right bleeding-edge beta software in RedHat 7.0. Yes I upgraded, but when you were like me with only a mere 56k internet connection, it really hurts when somthing requires much technical attention to download, build, and properly install the correct software. I didn't purchase a RedHat 7.1 upgrade, I duplicated my buddy's just so I have a reference in-case I had to do it all over again. RedHat is worse than Microsoft, in this respect, yet RedHat didn't cost as much money. From the reports I've read, RedHat 6 was the golden release, but I don't know because I've never gone back to RedHat.
I disagree with much of the user-land software they use to maintane a Linux-based OS. RPM and Debian's apt are all following the way of the Microsoft System Registry; exploitable and an easy target of destruction, no matter what benefits they offer, none can identify trojan software. I've tried Debian 2.2 since my RedHat days and it is simply stable and nice; not bleeding edge, complete opposite of RedHat's development spectrum, yet easily updatable to the bleeding edge software that gives Linux much of its shine. I kept Debian 2.2 on my Alpha. I checked over at Gentoo, they declare Alpha support, but no avail to my perception. I checked Slackware, but they seem to only support Miata; that's fine if you have one of the many nice Miata (Personal Work Station) systems out there, just not me; Slackware on my x86 is verry nice and I would've chosen it to be on my Alpha, but they can't support it: that's a-ok buddies. Slightly off-topic these comments may be, I must say that I am still not trying RedHat's OS anymore. I read the specifications on this latest RedHat OS release and it is quite disturbing of what software they are integrating. Part of my disgust with RedHat is without an extremly fast internet connection or general knowledge of system upgrading procedusres outside of redhat up2date, it will take many almost uncountable days to replace the unstable system software with proven-stable and production software. Debian and RedHat are completly different in these respects. The only advantage to using RedHat is that much of the latest hardware is only supported in the bleeding-edge system software they choose to support. Debian, is at-least stable on hardware that has been in circulation for more than 6 months. This is not limited to drivers, RedHat chooses to simply use the latest system-level software; I don't like the broken compatibility associated with using the latest Gnu Libc; commercial software often breaks and I have much commercial software that will still only properly run on Gnu Libc 2.1.3...and here RedHat is using 2.3.1 in its beta!
In my experience, the instability often associated with the latest system-level software is not worth giving a bad impression of Linux to the customers. I am skilled enough to fix RedHat's or Debian's mistakes, and I am quite kind and non-judgmental in their market-wise observations, yet I cannot speak for the thousands of bleeding-edge new linux users that will buy the software that bleeds inside their computer. A feature freeze would be nice, but that would be too easy.
Google says they have only summarized about 5% of the entire internet in their google search engine. Yahoo, I imagine, will be able to capitalize on spidering the internet to summarize some of the "other" websites google either failed or selectivly decided not to scan. All this means is two parallel searches from google.com and yahoo.com *should* reveal different results now. On a second thought, did I remember hearing about google.com beginning a new out-reach program, in SETI-like execution, for computers with installed googleware to help google by using the idle CPU and idle internet connection to spider through parts of the internet google doesn't have the resources to accomplish? I don't know where I heard that, maybe here on slashdot.org. I think even if a company had NO resources, they would be able to convince people to install internet_spiderware to contribute to a search engine. They already exist in a different methodology; they are called gnutella and kazzaa. Come to think about it, this sits well with that new music-lyric identification software on slashdot just a little ways away; imagine looking for a song with a specific occurence of lyrics, and gnutella searches through all its user's music for that string! Then whenever the occasion comes as either a funeral, divorce, or what-have-you, we can all search through music that may meet the theme of the event. That would realy help out beginning and professional disk jockies and especially since a feat can be accomplished using opensource software. I smell 1)innovation, 2)implementation, and 3)profit!
Maybe if you instead dumped that money into a good cause for the advancment of competing projects we wouldn't have Microsoft Outlook as the efault eMail client in the first place. Besides, what makes anyone think thye can tell Microsoft what to do on its own OS? Microsoft sells licenses, albeit a verry disgusting one that Microsoft customers don't read and just select the "I agree" action to install the software. Speak on those merits, emphasize the evil, and give people their options: show them a list of current GUI userfriendl eMail clients. I recommend only implementing hotmail and try to implement yahoo mail interface through an eMail client, but is that asking too much out of the priceless time of my fellow opensource developers?
Please, stop trolling about sexy feet and stop using the word "prones"! You give aus/nz jargon a bad name! I've seen you trolling this several times now, and you occasionally say good things too! Cut the trolling...

Taxation is contractual. You are all operating through contracts for your taxation. Should you agree to any contract that annotes as you declaring to abide by all United States and Federal laws, you may be taxed. So, be of good cheer...unless you agreed to any federal laws. Being without contract would suggest you as being self-governing and within the bounds of Uniform Commercial Code and suggests that contracts are voluntary. Do not place your mark on any contract and do not grant any fiduciary control of your properties and effects to the United States and its Federal administrative body. They provide no services in exchance for the financial transaction known by scope as "taxation of the internet."
You are a sovereigned nation until you agree to contracts that abridge your sovereignty.
This has everything to do with the FCC. The FCC declares itself by contract as your regulation of your usage of propogation of Radio Waves. It is by contract, so this means that you are not regulated when you are not operating on their contract; yet by agreeing by contract to any Federal regulation of the United States would initiate you under a clause that ensues you to accept any administrative action of the Federal government regardless of defined scope of the initial regulation. The sky is their limit.
[try to] Have a nice day.
I know I will, because I have prosected the United States Federal government under the uniform guidlines as being compelled to contract by a non-commercial private organization (United States). Figure it out. If you already figured it out, then you would have already known that their laws are only as good as them forcing a non-qualified golden badge, a non-affirmed oath or affirmation, and a barrel of a gun down your throat to comply with their regulation. Perhaps their silence on these matters inspires the credibility of their accountability; should you be compelled to participate in the same tacticts as they do or do they not like the fellow competition of fraud? Light them up, kick them out...you can't do that when you lack millions of people (thinking of ghandi) or guns (think of 2nd ammendment of your Constitution).
Realistically, when did it become their information super-highway? And another thing, when did it becom their public highways to post road tolls? When will you choose to not abridge your freedoms by contract? It is only as good as your aim...
I spoke with one of the devlopers. Real nice people. To summarize his statment, they are not yet a full-time LGP staff and unlike Loki they are choosing game titles that do not summon exaggerated licensing fees. Loki dove head-first into porting software to Linux and admirably performed verry well despite their financial loss in an earlier Linux market. LGP has the benefits of Loki's base (snickering) because:
1) LGP has chosen to utilize the verry mature Simple Direct Media Layer (http://www.libsdl.org)
2) Interacts with a more mature and aware market for Linux
3) chose applications that do not tend the verry-high royalties Loki crippled under
4) the applications chosen have merit in their gamplay, fun-factor, and presentation.
Majesty Gold! Disciples 2! Bandits! These are fun games that were ignored in the Microsoft Windows markets simply becase there were much more "shiny lures" that attracted all the "fish." LGP spear-headed Tzar, but then decided not to based on the comments of a minority of people in the Linuxgames.com and Happypenguin.org forums. LGP is well on its way to fill the void that Loki over-marketed and here we have a verry predictable startup mustering its nets around as many herring as possible. LGP is in hopes of marketing to all isles of the Linux gamers: Athlon, Pentium, PowerPC, and a few others. We, and owners of our computer software and hardware, have received LGP with baited hering breath.
All work is contracted by the method of "financial transaction" unless you declare otherwise in some matter. In an economy, you, I, and others seek property and services and such of those is a contract initiated for property and services by receiving a "receipt." Yes, it is misleading and places a contracted party at risk by not receiving or providing a receipt for a contracted work. In the world that we somewhat know, there are laws that keep every matter of interstate economy for proper administrative managment by its respective participants (voluntary:participants). The most complex of these laws that people and organizations operate upon is known as Tort law and Conract law. In my experience, Contract law is simply a constructed document of statments and agreements and administrative grant of action and process (legaly binding) that may or may not define an exchange of services (financial transaction) as well as abridg any laws or rights granted to any participant of the contract as defined therein. Contracts are tricky, and I know you'll find an easier-understood defenition at Dictionary.com, yet I am in consideration that a contract means much more. Tort law is only operative in absence of a contract. Tort is law that deals with all varying specific topics from organized property and land disputes to redress of varying grievances and activities that have effected another party in some negatory way in absnce of any contract to do so. Tort is how the private world in its unabridged capacity, operates administrativly with others.
here is a difference between a license and certification. A license is a contract and is entirly a voluntary act. A contract, in this world, is to be held accountable for the elements in the contraction, our obligations in a said contract, or by the pre-scribed conclusion of the contract will it be legal to receive the actions of a prescribed administrative authority to choose the contracted anecdotal action in compliance with the contract. What I just summarized as a license is true to my current sustained knowledge. A certification is different from a license in respect that certification is an oath or affirmation that is in-part a construction of true statments by another agency. Yes, a(n) (MCSE) Mictosoft Certified Systems Engineer is somone that received a certificate of oath or affirmation from an agency of Microsoft that declares such statments on paper upon presentation to another agency: "I'M CAPABLE OF PRESSING A POWER BUTTON AND I CAN FDISK YOUR HARDRIVE TO LALA LAND" or some variation of what I quoted an MCSE of stating to me outside of oath or affidavit. Licenses are contracts and it is illegal to force anyone into a contractual relationship and may only be accomplished voluntarily. So, in true form, it is illegal for me to be arrested for operating my automobile (not a Motor Vehicle) on public roads/highways/streets/wherever (10th ammendment and 1st ammendment), with respect to private, and it will be illegal for any such claim of jurisdiction of another organization to apply and illegal for my property to be seized and myself placed under arrest and/or further thrown into jail should I not posses a "Driver's License" because such is the utility of instrumentality which abridges rights and grants jurisdiction to another organization which I did not. Where does this all tie together, you may ask? Please bear with me as I reach my conclusive presentation to you on Tort law and Contract law...
A receipt is issued for property and services and this signifies a conract: a financial transaction. Should any such damage of property or services arise within the contracted work of the other party you chose, then the contract has been violated and it is up to you to arrange for a judge of the law to "see" your case and recognize and enforce the redress of damages/grievances that occured at the hands of the other party with respect to your AGREEMENTS on the services in your contract. Contract law applies to States (a state is a people and not the government thereof). If the issue is not contracted, and the agencies in the non-contracted action are operating in their capacity, the issue is within the constrains of Tort law. Quite obviously, the rememdies within Contract law is beyond the scope of your contracted work and damages received (not scribed); judges choose how to administer any default remedy upon the defendent that you hold responsible for any breaches of the contracted work the defendent pledged. In many respects to freedom, Tort law has been slithered-around by the United States just so they may choose any such remedy for incorrect services rendered; you, as a United States Citizen|citizen, have agreed to the DMCA, RIAA, MPAA, STATE OF ______, and any other such federal organization to administer judgment on your behalf and as well you agree to receive judgment from them and agree to all their administrative procedure.
In the end, a Certification is just as capable of being untrue as well as a Contract violated. There will always be people in the computer repair business of hair-dress business that will act in opposite of the statments present in their certification of their skills yet it is upto you to adress such facts in a court of law or an officer of the court(notary). Did I make sense?

Keep in mind to not rest at the first definition of any word you may see...lawyers tend to stretch definitions of words beyond space and time so you'll need a second opinion as well from those under authorship of the english language in all its capacity.

Reading material that described Tort and Contract law in a modern abridged setting
On eBay, I witnessed 4 3Dfx Voodoo6 6000 AGP graphics acclerators sold and each one of them included *working* MS Windows 2000 drivers and sold on average for $1200.00 !!
I haven't checked on eBay for over two months, but every once in a while someone sells one of these limousine 6000's! I have installed two Voodoo5 5500 PCI graphics accelerators on my Linux computer and as much as people giggle about the size of the Voodoo5, I always remind them the 57 chevy is of a heavy construction yet your ferrari doesn't turn heads compared to the wonderful and healthy *sound* and power of my 57 chevy's engine of my engine.
Donut shops go out of business.
Just yesterday, a bigger (bad) and meaner donut shop opened next to a starbucks and sold a more expensive donut...StarLucks still went out of business.
The more expensive donut was tasty and customers agreed to pay for it. It was discovered that this bigger donut shop profiled and contracted with all noticable StarLucks employees to cut off their pinky fingers when buying their donuts. As a result in the StarLucks workplace, employees became noticabley rude as they lifted no pinky finger when they poured its customer's coffee. StarLucks is now out of business, because every employee working the coffee machine was unable to perform. Although this is a sad day, nobodoy will miss StarLucks simply because they agreed to this bigger donut company's contract.
And in similar fassion in other related events, Sendo agreed to Microsoft's contracted terms. We know the average slashdotter would not have agreed to such terms as what Sendo chose with Microsoft, but this is Sendo's choice and they chose to agree.
Uhh.. Score 5? Someone's got an odd concept of Capitalism. Capitalism works fine when everyone's honourable, and keeps their word, and basically plays the game. People make products and make money. Best product wins (votes=money). MS, as usual, are breaking the rules, and pulling their own game (kill all other contenders), which isn't Capitalism. In Capitalism, you end up with a flourishing ecosystem of companies providing a variety of competing products. Evolution selects the best. In the MS game, you end up with one monolithic power providing what it thinks is best for people. In fact, MS' way is more like communism than capitalism. "To each unto their needs'.. MS decides what each person needs, and that's what they get, like it or not. It attempts to take all competition out of the arena, so, if you want an office suite, you have MS office, as MS has killed the competition. So, really, MS is anti-capitalist.
With respect to your good grasp of anti-immoral behavior (I'm smiling), you are flawed; you defined a Free Market, not Capitalism. I love you, please read my post and tell me what you think. Capitalism is the basis of wealth being influence and this is greatest known by the barter system and nothing more. We all *barter* paper money because a bigger organization (my ex is United States LLC) has removed competition of tender by setting fire or destroying the competing mints around America. What you defined is a Free Market. A Free Market allows everyone to create their own policy, whether written or non-written. Non-written agreements are masqueraded as implied agreements and are variably illegal. A ozium is an unseen contract; be verry afraid of those. A Free Market respects the use of CONTRACTS only to the effort of them being uphelf by various means of either force, brutality, or voluntary obligation of trust, so don't get pissed at Microsoft before reading my previous comment in this forum on contractual obligations and their legality.
I'm just helping. I'm sovereign, so I'm a verry different point-of-view from all the electricity-generating humans that are still plugged-in to the Matrix (United States LLC, a corporation).
Sendo and Microsoft made an agreement that is contractual. Sendo agreed to it; kick and scream all you want. This is simply unfounded anger you have towards Microsoft. We know you think Sendo is victim and want to be Sendo's mother, but Sendo is a corporation and does not act in your interests. We should all be angry with Microsoft trying to issue end-user-license-agreements that were not agreed to and the non-agreed-to EULA's have no *legal* merit.
If Sendo didn't agree to the contract, then there wouldn't be a problem; it is all contractual so stop making Sendo look like they are innocent and didn't know Microsoft would remove every one of its employee's left genitals or whatever they agreed to.
What *would* be a valid *legal* case would be if the business-relations personel were issued mis-leading, construed, or incomplete statments by Microsoft to compel the agreement on such terms that were verbally unfounded in the contract. What contract did Sendo agree upon or was Sendo competent of the terms of the contract it agreed to? It is upto Sendo to make its own case in its lawsuit, not any of us. If Microsoft releases affirmed statments that Sendo made such a contractual agreement, and Sendo releases affirmed statments that it reached such a contractual agreement, then they are both talking about the same contract; otherwise, we are talking about two completly different contracts that are being spoken of and confused with; one that is written and one this is non-written(and illegal/not contractual). An affirmed contract for Sendo to supply Microsoft 5 million phones is different than an affirmed contract for Sendo to supply Microsoft 5 million phones including each Sendo employee's left genital. Before anyone disputes my text, Sendo and Microsoft are currently within jurisdiction of the United States (Federal corporation) government's rules and regulations and it is upto them to provide any such evidence that may nullify contracts that are issued incomplete. Civil Code of Procedure does not apply here, the Constitution of the united States of America may apply, so lets all here some facts that perhaps have not been allowed to receive outside a court of law.
Speculation will hurt you as well as everything.
Saying that Michael Sim's mother is a cheap whore is quite dangerous in this day and age.
From what I heard, guns are being out-lawed in Europe and robbery is on the rise. Residents, including individual's pre-judicially accused as being whores, are pumping iron and are now much more avid in persuing the the subjective bastard that violates their peace.
As I'm writing this, you better remove your speculation of Michael Sim's mother being a whore and I'll drop my speculation of Michael Sim's mother topless, swinging towards your house in trees, flailing a machete around her head, hell-bent on chopping you down to (Chunky) Kibbles and bits to feed to her bug-eyed piranha-goldfish.

My statments are considerable. Anyone and everyone with a data connection to the "internet" is under contract for a monetary sum of influence. This "influence" is better know as "money" in human respects. I provided all the necessary evidence to prove my point. Microsoft's hotmail.com, as well, is registered as a for-profit organization. Company policy is not legal and many times "policy" is confused with "contractual agreement." Be sure to check policies of other companies, both customer and employee, that have not been honored, have been honored, and their legally-enforcable status.
[begin spock influence]
I declare unto you:
I must rate your conclusion as highly illogical. Microsoft's hotmail.com eMail service is registered as a for-profit organization. Being registered as such, it is logical to assume that hotmail.com will do whatever in their ability to reach a profit with the last effort. Statisticly, organizations that have reached profit from "spamming" have been low, yet other than anti-spam software, there is no evidence supporting the statistic of this trend to fail. We must consolidate our knowledge that the many data networks, which compose the modernly-known "Internet", are highly regulated by service providers and any such users of defined-excessive inter-networked bandwidth will be regulated for so-called "service fee." The Internet, in respect to organizations advertising services for varrying tangible and non-tangible data-performances, is not free and is contracted by administrative bodies throughout its range including and not limited to the FCC.
Such is the cost for the "stability" that is inherent from the "internet" and its vary administrations and governments which regulate it.

Someone, on Slashdot, is posting information for a comparison between the 386SX and 386DX platforms. I can't wait to replace my agin DEC Alpha with one of these! oh wait... Can you imagine, a distributed NCP cluster of these?
The question, "What should I do with my life", wreaks of neo-politics. The question is anti-freedom, with its intention. It forces people to choose their goals "NOW" and not let your interests determine your goal. People who ask this question are the same who "demand respect" and the people who leave the question up to a matter of privacy are the ones who are honerable.
How many people ask eachother this same question with variation and how many people do not and leave it a matter of personal interest. What would an abortionist do with their life? What would Albert Einstein do with his life? What would a police officer do with [his/her] life? What would bubble-gum do with its life. It's disguised intent to control someone's verry nature.
The better question is, "Why would you ask that question?" and "Why do you hold me obligated to answer?"
Being forced to answer, I respond with..."To protect the world from devastation. To unite all people in this Nation. To denounce the evils of truth and love. To extend our reach to the stars above. RMS! ESR! Blasting off at the speed of light. Surrender now, or prepare to fight. Linus, Linus, that's right!"
Of course I would say that...nobody knows what I'm realy going to do in the future and nobody should bother asking because everyone knows the world is fascist and forces you to choose what to do. I have a fifth ammendment you pricks!
They try to put Palladium into the hardware...impossible to be removed. Programs will be built to interact with some ASIC(s) and without those they will be rendered non-compatible? Wrong...all the software you will be using to work-around Palladium-endabled software will just be (vile grin) virus-like. The anticipated approach for customers that will not buy Palladium-enabled hardware is to implement Palladium in the software. More risky, but still effective. With all matters in consideration, Palladium will fail because 2 million world-wide crackers have more skill in manipulating software than you think...the vocal ones have a penguin or bsd_daemon sticker on their shirt.
Think big happy thoughts for the future of Microsoft, because we all will remember the happy thoughts that give people more functionality with their Computer(TM) whether open or closed source.
You have just now defined a monopoly. You should have realized this about 75% completiong of your comment. Playing Devil's Advocate: Should Microsoft port its applications to IA64 or let it die? This is also not a well-thought post and wreaks of legacy apeal, of which AMD's Opteron benefits from. Itanium has never failed. The Linux kernel and all the supporting software to feature a stable and near-fully-featured operating system has been completed nearly 6 months ago! Itanium-based computers were available from HP, IBM, and Dell. Intel is releasing an Itanium2. Binary compatibility for X86 is non-existant in the Itanium and Itanium2 because it is a completly New Architecture. Support for Microsoft Windows and old DOS programs does not constitute binary compatibility of an architecture; that is the operating systems job to define. Yes, lack of Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) on IA64 will not alure retail Microsoft-brand customers to Intel...Linux will lure customers to Intel that need a somewhat Unix-compliant environment that once again (Alpha platform) features 64bit precision. What is the difference between a standards-compliant C program compiled in Linux/x86 versus Linux/IA64? The end-product's binary interaction with the architecture is what is different; protocol compliancy is retained. GPL software is just a quick compile away for IA64 by independant programmers and users. The real issue is in the non-opensource or non-interested programmers to port their software to the new protocol-compliant OS/platform. Looking at it another way, you didn't define a monopoly by Microsoft(R). As long as GNU and Linux are around, there is no monopoly from Microsoft(R) to speak of. Yes, Microsoft *tries to force companies out of business by doing certain things, but every company retains their freedom(TM) to contract with others...Linux is the monopoly of IA-64 in this respect, or whoever the fuck someone says should be accountable for another company's product; which IMHO is why I think political opinions/statments and the commercial(contract) world is evil and everyone is better off to be recognized by the goodness of their work, mind, and soul.
:%) (please be gentle)
IA64 and Opteron both have their markets; Linux bridges them together with *protocol* compatibility: which Microsoft chooses to *not* dream about. Microsoft is rumored(announcment without supporting evidence) to be porting Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) to IA64; just nothing yet. Linux-based software has already been operating on first generation Itantium; look on eBay and notice how expensive Itanium realy is for par-Pentium4 performance with a thoroughly-engineered architecture.
On the user-end, all IA-64 and Opteron systems are expected to perform in a stable manner. Question: Do end-users blame Microsoft or Intel/AMD/IBM/VIA for their computer crashes? Nice to clear things up on your perception of absence of Microsoft support for IA-64. I hope I didn't appear to be rude or yelling in any way...or maybe I'm too late and you are off in the jungle swinging towards my adobe with a machete. I can make guacamole and I have tortilla chips fresh from the oven...
It is a reference, not a bible, and not thee Bible(R). Authors of this book, please do not confuse a Reference with a bible. A bible would include commandments and regulations. A bible is a code of law. "RedHat 8 Bible" is both improper use of the string "Bible" and incorrectly implied to actually being a reference to the Work(TM).
In a bible, I expect to find laws(code) such as, yet "RedHat 8 Bible" contains none:
Though shalt not steal software marked for per-user usage.
Though shalt enjoy the free beer and free speech software and keep them wholey and good.
Though shalt not use the X Windowing System in vain (implying KDE and Gnome are evil).
Though shalt honor thy initd process.
None of those were found in the said "RedHat 8 Bible" and it is too late to re-label it as "RedHat 8 Reference." As usual, open the book and you immediatly see notes as it being a "reference." oi
Damn that was insightful.
I'm still waiting for Microsoft to release Curtains(R) for Windows.
I heard(GPL), at their current development capability, Lindows will release SunLight(R)...followed by a lawsuite from Taruntella (ex-Sun).
Let us face the facts...the Line-driven phone system is surprisingly obsolete.
.com people back into a profitable battle. A phone booth today gives me no reason to visit it...unless I can download the latest linux kernel in less than 100 seconds for $1.00. With such a more efficient data network, membership would be based on unlimited use, bandwidth/quality that you desire, congestion status of the network, and/or a random non-member use that is payable at the node (aka receptacle/phone).
In Poland, and many other countries I don't remember, the Phone system consists of a cellular network! Many people disagree with cellular systems, out of fear of medical influences; that is reasonable. Yet ther is no other ethical wireless alternative to microwave other than what? Pick somthing that doesn't need to be ran through a medium; fiber optice need not apply, infrared could imply somthing good, wire is back to stage1. The total cost of ownership of modern phone booths on an out-dated phone system is the problem. They take too much space, too much maintenance, and are generally not reliable in all situations of elemental emergency (vehicles that smash into them, storms, vandelism,etc). What they need is a more ethical data-networked system. Future phone booths may as well be a service provided by a local internet cafe, that is the technology I think will reserect the layed-off
Total cost of ownership of computer hardware is much lower than qualified line installers running around an area creating ground loops and phucking with a phreaking system of accousticly line-driven phones. Can you imagine, maybe membership of your internet service provider could provide access to such a future communication booth. That is worth the clustered effort for such as wireless system!
a drunk driver...runs off the street and smashes the payphone.
a wet road under speeding traffic...a car runs off the road and smashes the payphone (or respective callbox).
a robbery...the crooks hide inside the payphone and direct to the police what the get-away car and robbers looked like and lead the police away from them for a clean get-away.
a building on fire...the fire-department must shutdown electricity and gas in the surrounding area and that includes payphones because the common modern payphone requires power for all of its "features" and will not operate with mere line voltage.
a tornado...payphones are first to be ripped out of the ground and crushed under chickens, eggs, and toaster ovens.
a flood...phone circuits are shorted and no longer work.
a lightning storm...phone circuit operators must hide in a special room or else the lightning will run through their patch pannel and zap anyone who has fillings in their teeth (everyone).
a hurricane...there is no payphone.
the matrix...only good for a secure phone call less than 10 seconds, else some guy in a tuxedo drives a cement truck into the same booth you are occupying.
Can you hear me now? Ahhhhhh!
CONCLUSION: PAYPHONES ARE DANGEROUS AND CONTRIBUTE TO DANGER AROUND THEM. THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED!

I'm serious, I don't work for a Fortune-500. Does that mean Sunday, weekends, or weekdays only? I also hold a MA Nuclear Bio-Mechanical-Chemical-Physicist degree and I will not show you my credentials. Onto the chace...
The only two seemingly intelligent posters in this messageboard of slashdot appear to be FnkMaster and Doctor K. What both of these
The SUN of our solar system is currently in fission. If it were a humanoid-ethicaly-described fission then it would be producing energy while sustaining its mass. However, the SUN of our solar system is somehow imperfectly in fission and by way of saying, it is releasing energy and it grows and shrinks and all kinds of unknown events are occuring. If the SUN was a perfect fission, then it wouldn't "burn-out" in the predicted 5 billion years someone here on slashdot (forgive me) stated. Perfect fission would not "burn-out" in any time, it would be perpetual. What humans want to attain is fission that sustains its own reaction and then release energy to be converted to somthing useful. The SUN is not doing this. The SUN will "burn-out." Should this prove that the super-entity (God?) is not able or chose not to produce a fission to sustain itself? I don't know the intention of the super-entity in creation of our SUN. Is it possible to achieve what the super-entity chose to not implement? Yes, and this shows that there is a reason the SUN will "burn-out" and it is short of someone's land-lord saying "pack your bags and get your ass off my property" or a human's parents saying "get out and go travel the world."
That is some verry spooky shit, if you ask me. And more reason for us all to start delving into our books to implement our idea of a "ethical" fission just so we would be prepared to sustain ourselves in absence of another source of energy. Better yet, why bother trying when our own lifetime is exceptionally short. Chicken or Egg is the survey of today? Ok, that is somewhat similar to the uber-argument. Should it be bio-engineered enhancment of our good-health and lifetime or "ethical" fission? I say Chicken...then Egg.
I had two associations with RedHat...RedHat 5.2 for x86 and RedHat 7.0. RedHat 5.2, to my first newbie perception, was quite stable with my hardware and I didn't need to upgrade any of the software to use any of the latest TCL/TK and commercial programs X11-based programs unless somthing Gnu came along and I of'course had to hunt and seek the elusive toolkit on freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net. However, enter the 7.0 and after buying and installing 7.0 on my x86 and Alpha, I had all kinds of problems that were specific to RedHat; bleeding-heart beta Gnu C Compiler was used, software wouldn't compile, and as well they decided to use all kinds of other out-right bleeding-edge beta software in RedHat 7.0. Yes I upgraded, but when you were like me with only a mere 56k internet connection, it really hurts when somthing requires much technical attention to download, build, and properly install the correct software. I didn't purchase a RedHat 7.1 upgrade, I duplicated my buddy's just so I have a reference in-case I had to do it all over again. RedHat is worse than Microsoft, in this respect, yet RedHat didn't cost as much money. From the reports I've read, RedHat 6 was the golden release, but I don't know because I've never gone back to RedHat.
I disagree with much of the user-land software they use to maintane a Linux-based OS. RPM and Debian's apt are all following the way of the Microsoft System Registry; exploitable and an easy target of destruction, no matter what benefits they offer, none can identify trojan software. I've tried Debian 2.2 since my RedHat days and it is simply stable and nice; not bleeding edge, complete opposite of RedHat's development spectrum, yet easily updatable to the bleeding edge software that gives Linux much of its shine. I kept Debian 2.2 on my Alpha. I checked over at Gentoo, they declare Alpha support, but no avail to my perception. I checked Slackware, but they seem to only support Miata; that's fine if you have one of the many nice Miata (Personal Work Station) systems out there, just not me; Slackware on my x86 is verry nice and I would've chosen it to be on my Alpha, but they can't support it: that's a-ok buddies. Slightly off-topic these comments may be, I must say that I am still not trying RedHat's OS anymore. I read the specifications on this latest RedHat OS release and it is quite disturbing of what software they are integrating. Part of my disgust with RedHat is without an extremly fast internet connection or general knowledge of system upgrading procedusres outside of redhat up2date, it will take many almost uncountable days to replace the unstable system software with proven-stable and production software. Debian and RedHat are completly different in these respects. The only advantage to using RedHat is that much of the latest hardware is only supported in the bleeding-edge system software they choose to support. Debian, is at-least stable on hardware that has been in circulation for more than 6 months. This is not limited to drivers, RedHat chooses to simply use the latest system-level software; I don't like the broken compatibility associated with using the latest Gnu Libc; commercial software often breaks and I have much commercial software that will still only properly run on Gnu Libc 2.1.3...and here RedHat is using 2.3.1 in its beta!
In my experience, the instability often associated with the latest system-level software is not worth giving a bad impression of Linux to the customers. I am skilled enough to fix RedHat's or Debian's mistakes, and I am quite kind and non-judgmental in their market-wise observations, yet I cannot speak for the thousands of bleeding-edge new linux users that will buy the software that bleeds inside their computer. A feature freeze would be nice, but that would be too easy.
Google says they have only summarized about 5% of the entire internet in their google search engine. Yahoo, I imagine, will be able to capitalize on spidering the internet to summarize some of the "other" websites google either failed or selectivly decided not to scan. All this means is two parallel searches from google.com and yahoo.com *should* reveal different results now. On a second thought, did I remember hearing about google.com beginning a new out-reach program, in SETI-like execution, for computers with installed googleware to help google by using the idle CPU and idle internet connection to spider through parts of the internet google doesn't have the resources to accomplish? I don't know where I heard that, maybe here on slashdot.org. I think even if a company had NO resources, they would be able to convince people to install internet_spiderware to contribute to a search engine. They already exist in a different methodology; they are called gnutella and kazzaa. Come to think about it, this sits well with that new music-lyric identification software on slashdot just a little ways away; imagine looking for a song with a specific occurence of lyrics, and gnutella searches through all its user's music for that string! Then whenever the occasion comes as either a funeral, divorce, or what-have-you, we can all search through music that may meet the theme of the event. That would realy help out beginning and professional disk jockies and especially since a feat can be accomplished using opensource software. I smell 1)innovation, 2)implementation, and 3)profit!
Maybe if you instead dumped that money into a good cause for the advancment of competing projects we wouldn't have Microsoft Outlook as the efault eMail client in the first place. Besides, what makes anyone think thye can tell Microsoft what to do on its own OS? Microsoft sells licenses, albeit a verry disgusting one that Microsoft customers don't read and just select the "I agree" action to install the software. Speak on those merits, emphasize the evil, and give people their options: show them a list of current GUI userfriendl eMail clients. I recommend only implementing hotmail and try to implement yahoo mail interface through an eMail client, but is that asking too much out of the priceless time of my fellow opensource developers?
Give him a shrubbery and maybe he'll stop it...It IT IT IT IT!
