1600's Calvinist totalitarians (Pilgrims on a journey my ass) escape the wrath of Catholic totalitarians
Salem. Nuff said.
1770's Unpopular Declaration of Independence discussed behind closed doors. All who wanted to be in had to sign. This meant if they were found or the war lost they would be shot.
Big debate on women voting too.
'Course it wasn't too long before we pulled a Columbus on Indians, Mexico.
So don't be surprised. We need a more direct response to this.
When Germany ordered Jews to wear yellow markers, all of Denmark wore them without even thinking twice. It was obvious what they had to do.
So start encrypting long repetitititions of "Mom, I'm at the store. I'll bring my commie friends home tonight."
They're trying to reinvent the Earth and conquer it before people get their rightful share. If you really don't want to see pedophiles on the net, your best bet is to claim some part of the net and get over your fears. Otherwise we're guaranteed to see the net auctioned off to superpowers and rampant with crime. There's too much power in it for the assholes to pass up.
It would be stupid to tell someone "You need to./configure that and then run a make. Then you need to do a make install."
Every idiot knows what the word TYPE means. Sorry, but waht you're complaining about shows inability to teach not a flaw in Linux.
And believe me most people can infer what they're doing from they're typing, as long as you remind them to pay attention.
From that point on./configure, make, make install are the most intuitive statements you could make.
I worked at a help desk, I should know.
Besides, CLIs are easier to teach over the phone than GUIs.
As for those who shut down their PC's incorrectly. I don't have a clue who that is. It's certainly not the majority I've seen in comp labs and while I was working. The most tight ass PC-phobic-I-type-600-keys-per-second-so-I-can-leav e people I've seen do in fact shut down properly. The rest sometimes don't even care if they have fsck. And they never forget.
Course there's that granny who needed memory warm-up exercises.
I suppose the KDE and GNOME desktop environments and the kwm, enlightenment, and blackbox window managers I use are a figment of my imagination.
I suppose the fact my Cyrix 6x86L 200 (150 actual) stands up to my friends' P233s Winblows machines except when playing Quake is another figment of my imagination.
I suppose the fact that every device except my Windows only printer works is yet another figment of my imagination.
I also suppose that the hack I downloaded to drive my printer doesn't really work because we're talking about a windows printer.
Thin Clients are dead. Check out the lovely work by hive.www.media.mit.edu or something like that. I never understood how they intended to empower people by thin clients in an industry where if you don't have the software and hardware you are nowhere and powerless. The Internet is not a storehouse for just e-mail, greeting cards, sports, stocks, and porn.
With a CD Recorder a Gimp CDLabeling utility and a weekend each one of us could make enough from Linux CD's to buy out Microsoft. Get real OSS Free Software rules!
It has nothing to do with OS support. They only allow one prograsm to access it. Linux
Go buy a brother typewriter, then Luddite.
Don't like computers, not sayin you have to, get WebTV, itoaster, and all the other couch conveniences. Course since they're niche markets no one's forcing those companies to keep up with standards and products you'll conveniently never have to hear of.
I've said this before and Imagonna say it again. Computers should be tools is like telling a bunch of campers that public housing projects (slums/future prisons/accidents waiting to happen) obsolete camping.
Something like a jaw agape Gates with a ton of stuffed penguins on his lawn or his painings in his house replaced with customizable Linux/BSD CD covers.
The lack of respect and the arrogance of Law enforcement (wanna through my OPENBSD?:P) combined with our collective Big Brother, the clueless public, make me just a little concerned.
When you start getting bills for sex toys you didn't buy, you'll see my point.
Slashdot Mirror
Needs to be partwise rethought but contains correct bellyfeel.
We all know about Hoover and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Seriously, we need to install cameras in our homes before law enforcement does so. That way they can try bypassing OPENBSD till the cows come home.
Though I'd like a record of what they're looking at. Heck, we could even rent pornos and feed them through the line.

Go see Senate on the net and House on th net
I rarely shutdown my machine, but I don't keep it on the net either.

C'mon get with the program.
We have 40 some distributions. VA is Linux centric, PenguinComputing, Tons of advertising magazines cover Linux/BSD/Unix topics.
Second and most important: Who just declared war RedHat vs Debian or IBM and SCO vs SUN and Compaq?
And checkout the Lothar Project>.

At least have the guts to use a login name.
That's where he's coming from.

next to gnomehack, for no reason, next to my WindowMaker DockApps.
Linux is a smorgasbord!
'Course I owe my copies of compilers to teachers!
$1K should be enough of a fine.
I have to send my profferssors a thank you note. Granted they're were unaware of Linux/BSD. But hey, now I never visit a warez site AT ALL.
Guess why? ***** / ***.

We need to get real.
When Germany ordered Jews to wear yellow markers, the majority of the population of Denmark started wearing yellow markers.
The same goes for privacy. Encrypt everything.
Or encrypt "Mom, I'll be home for Christmas."

Or that highways obsolete scenic routes.
What a maroon.
I heartily agree.
Move them to Linux and we're home free.
I mean what's the point of disproving the Microsoft theorem when kids continue to be taught
Microsoft?
Something like a jaw agape Gates with a ton of stuffed penguins on his lawn or his painings in his house replaced with customizable Linux/BSD CD covers.
I suppose you also think Win95 was the first version.
It's a no-win situation.
Get real. We have a state that thinks evolution should not be taught. Free world my ass.
That's it. I'm leaving.
