How this stuff brings back memories of computers were fun and M$ didnt really count. I still have my old KayproII (but im missing the disks to boot it) and i was privalaged enough to work for a company called SORD Computer (Japan) that actually sold the 1st 8080 computer (No , it wasnt Altair). In my job i got to meet industry greats like George Morrow , and Bill Godbout, and my employer Takayoshi Shiina. But all good things must be eventually controlled by giant corperations, and creativity stifled.
I am glad to have been there at the start though.
Now if i can find a KayproII boot disk ill get to see a computer with a 4Mhz Z80 boot 10 times faster than a 1.7 Ghz machine running Windoze
Go Figure

I wonder if atty Gen Ashcroft would arrest the president of Adobe for decrypting this and reading it. If i called
This sounds silly but a strict interpretation of DMCA would make this illeagal
My company does industrial control system both hardware and software. Our policy concerning continuing education is that we will pay for classes related to the employees job description and if the employee receives an A or B then it will be 100% covered, a C grade will earn the employee 50% coverage. A D, F or if the employee leaves before the class is finnished and the cost will be deducted from their pay.
This is a real worl example of the Satr Wars scene when the Empire blew up Alderan.
We were right to break up the standard oil monopoly, and WE should have broken up M$
This is truely a sad day
Since they r starting out fresh, u might as well start them out on Linux , because they dont have Windoze to un-learn.... besides seniors are cheap and would appreciate a free OS, along with there 10 LB bags they sneek out of Old Country Buffet
It is only a matter of time. Eventually the stratigy of threats and lawyers will not win.. "All the kings horses, and all the kings men, couldnt put the riaa back together again"
There was a line in one of the Star Wars movies where Darth Vader told Landow Kalrizian (guess at spelling)
"I am altering the deal, pray that i do not alter it any further"
Just like dealing with big biz
It is sooo easy to profess ZERO TOLERANCE at school board meetings and the like. I hope other people around the country see what the result of ZERO TOLERANCE is.
The folks over at cDc really are the freadom fighters of the information age. Makes me think of the original Star Wars movie. The world is full of oppressive governments (the USA included aka carnivore) and monopolistic corperations like M$ and AOL. Some one has to fight for freedom of thought.
Please show me just 1 peice of software that M$ makes or has stolen , or bullied away from it's developer that doenst have a technically superior open source equivalent. Just 1?
I dont think so.... so assuming i am right , all M$ is saying is that THEY will be better off without open source.
Do u think the comapnies that wrote most of the software included in Windoze really shared from the success of M$ ?
This is simply another fear based propaganda message for the evil empire

Poetic justice will be when there is linux on the ps2 for the kid(s) in the Gates household.

Nothing like this would ever happen in the USA. Can you spell CARNIVORE?

Just when the RIAA thought they had control of the world .... LOL .
Not that the RIAA has worried about public opinion before
I wonder if they would like to see how MSQL Server compares to Win2K and NT4 with Wine under linux
