Someone who works their ass off, employing others, paying taxes and taking a risk on their own and families future.
Someone who was kind enough to *donate* their software to the cause with no unreasonable strings attached.
Or a freeloading low life who has spent his entire life suckling from the public teat. A whinging cassandra who has never had the bottle to take a risk and try and step out on his own to rely on his own wits.
When Stallman has to put his *own* money and his *own* future on the line to earn a crust and keep a roof over his head, then he can criticise McVoy and others who made this industry.
Otherwise he can stick his grant money where the sun doesnt shine.

The UK govt has spent the past 6 years pouring hundreds of billions down the black holes of nationalised health care and in the maw of indolent lazy public sector workers with *NO* improvement in services.
The economy here is in DEEP DEEP ordure. Growth is shot to buggery, public sector financing is spiralling out of control and tax revenues have fallen dramatically this year.
As example, my local govt taxes will be rising by 16% this year, this despite the region I am living rasing approximately 3000 ukp per head per annum in local taxes, the govt takes it all away to buy votes in its favoured areas handing back just 875 ukp to the local authority.
The Chancellor (our minister of finance) has used fiscal drag overthe past 6 years to increase the number of taxpayers in the higher band by 50%. On April 6, income taxation for higher band payers will be increasing by an additional 1% and taxes on benefits in kind for higher rate payers will go from 40% to 51%.
The govt is just spinning this 'green' line as an excuse to ratchet taxation even more.
This is the same govt who imposed carbon taxes on nuclear power stations. Still trying to figure out the ecofascist logic behind that.
Get a fscking clue b4 posting such utter bollocks as that. The P4 in its prescott incarnation will scale all the way out to ~5GHZ.
Hammer on a similiar sized.09nm process will be running at equivalent speeds also.
Itanium is NOT a commodity desktop processor. If hammer is half as good as folks make out, Itanium could well suffer the fate of the i432. Nice idea shame about the implementation.
X86 is not going to be replaced *anytime* soon.
Apple fanboys are doing themselves and their platform no favours by regurgitating dementia from.advocacy newsgroups.
Using such a fuel in a road going vehicle without paying the mandatory ~450% Duty and VAT taxes is against the law.
The law in question is enforced by Her Majesties Customs & Excise service, so its highly likely that the vehicle would be impounded and confiscated also.
Nice idea, but we cant have the proles using their own cheap fuel now can we.
Just vendors ripping the bollocks off us poor saps in the UK as usual. Read the "Rip Off Britain" piece here

I paid £39 + VAT for an 8 port SoHo switch on Sat thats $29 on pricewatch. Despite govt noises w.r.t protecting the consumer from being gouged, its all bunkum, high prices == high VAT returns, all to be wasted on some other social welfare program.
It's just so depressing to see the antics of some of the blinder 'advocates'. These people do Linux or for that matter Unix no favours at all.
Shrill nonsense that sounds exactly the same as whats passes for advocacy by the wilder adherents of the Amiga, OS2 or $InsertNicheOS-Here.
If you really want to see how fscked up this obsession can make someone, I suggest doing a google search of comp.sys.amiga.advocacy and read some of the postings from an 'advocate' called Steve Gionovella
Its so sad to see something as inanimate as a computer become a psychotic obsession. Even to the extent of making appalling hate driven attacks on developers who are breathing new life into it.
The guys postings are worthy of a/. topic all of their own. If only as a warning to others.
In the 10+ Years I have worked in IT, I have used and abused software running on many different platforms in my quest to get problems solved.
Software is ONLY a tool people. Horses for courses. There is no religion attached. I'll still be working on Unix I reckon by the time I get to retire in 40 years time. That doesnt stop me using software from MSFT or anyone else to get a job done.
Putting a any P4 clocked at less than 1.8 GHZ is an act of pure hubris on the part of intel. The P3M is more than adequate for the job in hand on both a power and performance level.
Brian Walker / Rocket Guy: I am using 90% H2o2 because using it as a monopropellant is the safest method of propulsion for my particular rocket. There is no chance of a catastrophic explosion or fire
HTP is about one of the most volatile substances out there, Contact with ANY organic material causes fires that are exceedingly difficult to extinguish.
Marked this as a Troll ? Why is the bugger not being hunted down and castrated for censorship.
Get a GRIP People. SPEC is THE industry standard CPU performance benchmark. Unpalatable though it may be to the apple adovcates, Steve has LIED to you.
Here is so CLUE for you apple folks, Apple is ON the SPEC committee, they are repeatedly DECLINED to submit figures for the G4.
Does anyone in their right mind think that IF the G4 beat any current X86 processor on SPEC, Steve could keep quiet for long ? I'd doubt it.
We would be a lot happier all round. I would give my eye teeth at the moment for a WD1200JB with a U160 interface, I'd even pay, say $50 more one compared to the ATA equivalent.
Would you hang anything larger than a/24 off a locally attached network to a firewall to begin with ?
If you 'actually' you have that many hosts, good network design would dictate multiple internal VLANS, You only need a/29 for the firewall VLAN off the core router in that case, with the route of last resort pointing to it.
I've used rainwall in the past on linux, you guys definitely have your shit together.
Came onto the project blind never having used it b4, had it up and running with fw1 inside a few hours. Very easy to work on. Only minor niggle is that crap java status doobery:-).
That said, for LB I do ultimately prefer hardware:-).
> It would be far cheaper to get 4 lines > converted to ADSL with the added bonus > of some redundancy.
I am paying £119/month for my 2 meg DSL here in London + ~£50/qtr line rental. (20:1 contention)
4 x 512 Kbit DSL (50:1 contention), even with a wires only deal from someone like eclipse for £25/month + the 4 line rentals + say £70/line for a cheapie ethernet router is going to be a tad more expensive in the long haul.
Where I could see myself using it, would be if I had, say the 2meg DSL + 1meg cable service from NTHell or Twest. I'd prefer to use something like rainwall or stonegate to LB it though.
Until it gets some form of stateful packet inspection, I wouldnt be interested in the nexland TBH.
> I was running my home firewall on a Linux box > until I got one of these things
Thought your home firewall would be at least a load balanced pair of IP-740s with Gig-E;-).
Tying a PC up to run as a firewall is a PITA when it could be used to do other things, currently I run Linux, but not IPTables (blechh! who ever came up with that interface needs their head examining, its excerable)
If Crisco would get their finger out of their fundament and produce a 3 interface Pix 501 it would be perfect for me here. That said, I have seen the recipe for the FrankenPix and it looks rather interesting.....
Consistant keyboard shortcuts across every application are what makes 'power' use of a gui possible and improves productivity. Cut and paste being a prime example.
The elitist notion that using keys only gives an 'illusion' of speed is not borne out by reality.
We all build up subconscious muscle memory for a set of basic operations and then work with them on instinct.
Arguing that taking ones hands 'away' from the keyboard to use the mouse is somehow better is daft.
UnitedLinux has become our enemy: they are the Microsoft of the Open Source community. Fortunately, we do not need to expend effort to oppose them, as their business model is sufficiently flawed that they will not survive long.
under the the noses of every fortune 500 CEO, to remind why linux is actually bad for their business and why they should choose an an open source OS/community that is less political and more interested in providing solutions to their problems.
