I think they are being ranked my dollars generated rather then the number of machines it is installed on. Although, even by that standard the NT/2K platform might still reign considering the fuck tons of desktops in most offices.
My favorite line of text on the m-o-o-t site is this little diddy on their code page
We haven't written most of it yet!
It looks like this whole freaking project is a work fo FICTION. m-o-o-t, as far as a project is still in the "wouldn't it be cool" stage. Chances are it will go no where. It's a HOAX, I can't believe this is even on/.. Does anyone actually read the links submitted?!?!?!?!?!?!
And what point would that be?, that among all us dorks in dorkdom you have the fastest refresh finger?
Well whoopty whoo.
On second thought I would like to nominate medicthree as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Trolls. Your key duties as PM of ROT is to refresh constantly so you can take your whack at FP, you will also have to link goatse.cx and speak of hot grits whenever possible. You will have to lead by example with snide and off color comment about Hemos and CmdrTaco, as well as attack any karma whores that try to add anything useful to any topic.
Do you think you can handle it? I mean after your stunning display of FP abilities, we don't want a flash in the pan. What other skills do you possess besides modesty?
Clever, I never thought of installing on my cat (hi fluffy!), I recently installed linux on a head of lettuce. I had some wicked screen shots, but they wilted before I could scan them.
Seriously, I am looking at a picture of linux on a TV with some game consoles sitting on top. Oh yeah, I'm convinced, he is a genius. Oh wait, I think my bic has some RAM available, I have to work to do.....screen shots to follow.
Humm, according to one patent lawyer's website (the bastard), the patent laws are an ever evolving creature. There has been quite a bit of activity on the length of patents in the last 15 years or so. According to his web site (and three others to confirm, including encyclopedia.com) they all state patents are valid for 17 years.
The length of a patent varies by what time it was issued and what kind of article was being patened. I.E. a patent may be good for 50 years if issued today, but in the sixties it may have been good for only 25, versus a patent issued at the turn of the century may be good for a 100 years. Obviously my examples are not based in reality, I am trying to make a point. I believe currently the law states the patent is valid for 17 years.
Just doing a little bit of your own research will answer you own questions. I recommend a combination of Google and Encyclopedias.
Fruit of the poisoned tree , if you can PROVE, a law enforcement agent lied to get the warrant, any evidence found as a result of that search can NOT be used against you in court.
I was hovering at the -10, -11 range (I can only dream of a negative triple number), but I got two FP in the same day and WHAM!!! Your account has been disabled, thanks for playing now wait a week. I think the key is to slowly score negative numbers over time. The bitch slap comes when you get moderated down 5 times in 24 hours, getting negative 100 karma is the most difficult sustained endurance test known to man, next to soccer.
b : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
Neither the definition, nor my comments said you would be commanded to forfeit the use of your computer or your OS. The fact of the matter is, if someone wants a copy they can get one (read - a good that is common and available to all that need it), and don't argue that not everyone has access to the internet and therefore it's not available to all, since people who don't use or have access to a computer (with a burner if you are an ISO collector as I am) would even want the item.
I was merely providing Webster's definition of communism since there seemed to be some doubt to what the word meant. You are correct, the OS wars are not a political one (well, MS's court case might be), but Linux has a communistic idealogy (again, not that there is anything wrong with that, I like free software as much as anyone). The problem is people relate the word communism with the Evil Empire (USSR), the same way people relate socialism with the Third Reich, but most of the Europe and Canada are functioning quite well with goverments that can only be described as socialistic (which I believe is the best form of goverment anyway).
Hmmm, with a court order they CAN read your snail mail.
With a court order they can seize anything within reason to investigate you. Carnivore is just another vehicle to do this, without a court order they aren't *suppose* to use it.
I don't give a rats ass about carnivore, wanna know why? I have nothing to hide. I don't trade kiddie pr0n, and I don't email death threats. If you are legit, what are you all worrying about?
They won't be using this to check for pirated software will they? Hmm, please ignore my previous statement.
Memorandum - all posters in the future will now refer to any newspaper as The Paper and link this to the actual story to avoid any further confusion and pissing off the British.
Yeah, and that was the important tidbit of information you were supposed to take from the article. The fact that the name of the paper might confuse it readers. But I guess if anyone would have actually went to the link, IT WAS THE FUCKING "THE TIMES" WEBSITE!!!!
Being a WW2 buff I am well aware of the atrocities committed by the Japanese against its neighbors. Some of which exceed Mengele's more publicized experiments on Jews during the same era. But I was replying to a statement about Japanese's thoughts and feelings about Americans.
I recommend Dirty Little Secrets of World War II by James Dunnigan and Albert Nofi.
And the bombs were justified when looking at the predictions of casualties of an amphibious assault on Japan's main island. The devotion of the Japanese to the Emperor was blinding. A nation full of kamikaze soldiers, would have forced extremely high casualties on both sides. For the staggering destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, right or wrong it saved lives on both sides.
The Gnome people are always Whoring themselves in front of Sun, Red Hat & IBM - especially over the last year.
Yeah cause keeping the benefits of Linux in your parent's basement has worked wonders so far? Have you ever met a regular ole user and shown them Linux? Ever notice they usually mis-pronounce it the first time? Anything that helps get Linux into the mainstream where more people can interact with it would be a good thing. The bickering between GUI formats or distros is silly. It's like women's basketball having two leagues and trying to compete against the NBA. One is clearly the market leader, rather then splitting their resources and draw the community should try to unite around one distro and make it a bad ass.
Good point. As a Dell consumer we order our workstations with a very primitive pre-load and order our servers clean with no OS. Why would anyone rely on someone else to configure thier machines is beyond me.
I realize the act of installing OSs/software is a hassle especially for a large deployment but I would rather create my own image and blast it on then using someone else's standards.
Hey ma look, my first post since getting re-instated YAHOOOOO!!!
The thing I don't get (and excuse me, I am new to the Linux scene) is the IP fight when it comes to Linux. If you are going to use and contribute to an open source project, why fight to keep others from utilizing your contributions? Doesn't that go against the core of what people like about Linux? That it's free and infinitely configurable and if it doesn't do something you want it to, you can just create it?
I like that idea of a standardized Linux distro, maintaining some sort of consistency should brought to the forefront. The one thing about a Microsoft admin (a good one that is), is that he/she can take that knowledge to another MS environment and apply that knowledge.
PS - I am looking for a free dial-up ISP for Linux, similar to NetZero, Juno, or FreeI for the MS world. Know any?

Shit, imagine how long it took me to type it
Just an idea, try reading the article. The patents on Trinitron were origninated in the 60's

Sounds like Linux to me, not there is anything wrong with that, lets just call a spade a spade.

Just a hunch, but it might be because we dropped a couple of big ass bombs on them. I think something like that would stay with me for a while.
