This chain-letter bullshit is all the same. On some ultra-shallow level it seems great, and sentimental, but with 3 seconds of thought and usually two sentences in it becomes obvious what trite crap it is.
you seem to miss the obvious - that the thing you reference isn't a prescription for reality, it's a lament.
and it's not "ultra-shallow", it's actually ultra-deep. it may seem shallow if read literally, but the particulars of the writing are not meant to be taken literally; they're supposed to resonate with something you yourself have experienced in a different way. you may have no real desire to play with sticks in a mud puddle; you have your own memories and carefree representations of past happiness. if you have had the same emotional and intellectual experience that the author tries to convey, you recognize the message. if you haven't, you don't - and it seems shallow and trite.
i would point out, lastly, that you are likely to recognize this particular message if you are older rather than younger. how old are you?
Whilest having people work for a crumby wage is bad, I'm not sure why you think having machines do their job is better - now they've gone from working for a crumby wage to being unemployed... hardly progress.
the idea is to have machines do all our jobs for us. but as long as there exists in mankind the impulse to amass ever more and more wealth and to bend other people's backs to providing a paradise on earth for a select ruling class, that won't happen.
quite right. as long as existence is presumed to be an eternal struggle of the rich to get as much as possible for oneself
As a consequence, many older people simply never achieve mental adulthood
you mean they don't become sullen meat-robots doing nothing but going to and from their jobs and cultivating adult-approved recreations like golfing and needle-point? what a tragedy.
What else? If they want to talk about "cooperation", then we should be able to give them a list of items that they can start "cooperating" on.
behead everyone in senior management and put their heads on sharpened sticks lining the drive to the microsoft campus in redmond, to serve as reminder to future generations of ms managers.
i gleefully look forward to google kicking MS in the nuts in this "software as a service" market, but the achilles heel of all these services is the fact that your private data sits on a provider's server.
is it even possible to provide a service like this in a way that protects your data from *everyone*, including the provider?
And it stays like this forever with no disk activity and a blank desktop.
iirc, this had something to do with a wacky/outdated nvidia driver, when i experienced it on breezy.
what i did was hit alt-f1 real quickly during boot so that i could get a text console, before the inescapable featureless brown desktop took over. then (i think) i just updated to the latest packages with apt, restarted, and it worked ok.
I actually did apt-get dist-upgrade on my laptop which has xubuntu, and the upgrade went smoothly. However, when I logged into Xubuntu, the upgrade didn't appear too clean.
when i first tried upgrading to dapper RC, the upgrade failed. once i removed the installed but unused xubuntu-desktop package that i tried out a few months ago, the upgrade went fine.
i *always* use w3.org's validators to validate my html AND my css. now if they would just make a validator for my embedded ActiveX controls, i'd be golden!

ever wonder what it's like to be shot in the face?

This guy wants to quit his day to day responsibilities to give away his money to the less fortunate and all you guys want to do is bash him.
giving away money from a massive fortune that he acquired by taking a gigantic shit on the rest if the computing landscape.
don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
and evil?
no wait, he might like that.
to extend the analogy: maybe the cat doesn't want to be your pet.
furthermore, what the fuck is this shit? : Windows has more viruses because linux has more virus coders.
douchebag.
so he's a s&m male prostitute?
....so what are they *really* up to?

it's an investment in not paying for office upgrades anymore.
