Stop talking about this or a particular company that we all know of will use this "avenue" to FUD the poor-minded corporate against the whole Open-Source movement.

What the hell is that?
"Forgotten he lives in the States"?
Just because he appropriatly made a Cajun style website?
You mean you forgot that in your own country you have Cajun peoples but maybe this is too much for you to imagine all its implications for your little brain.
Damn I hate racism.
I don't have an answer for all this...

But I can tell you what I feel:
Whenever I read Microsoft News, I feel like a rape victim.
(my apologies to any real rape victims but it's the closest thing I can think of).
I myself have Videotron (cable-modem), I live in Verdun, suburb of Montreal (soon to be merged with the big city).
with it the fastest I saw (on a linux box) was a download of 350 kiloBytes/sec (quite satisfactory)
(My windows could not transfer more then 200K for some reasons). I'm talking bytes and not bits. The measurement are made with FTPing big file...
BUT
the upload rate is locked at 14 kiloBytes/sec at all time so you can't put any kind of useful server to it.
The performance was the same when I live downtown Montreal.
At Apple they probably started writing that marketing paper a couple of years ago because actually the easiest/fastest/troubleless way to install an OS on a PC is with Mandrake 7.2. (not on a mac but mac are not for the common man, it's for the common rich man)
It's perfectly clear that JonKatz didn't read the finding of facts of Judge Jackson even if he says otherwise. For every question JonKats asks the answer is in the FoF.
I can't believe his article was accepted in Slashdot! He made me jump out of my seat.
What's new? The bigger a company is, greedier and more inhuman it becomes.
The worse of it is that each time the technology makes any progress in helping end users there's a big brother somewhere complaining that this new thing is undermining him.
Each time we should answer: "Yes it is undermining ya! It's because you're a pain in the butt and we finally found a way to get rid of ya!"
But they got the money for lobbying, they got the money for slowing it down, they got the laws for it, and we let them eat the wool out of our back (from a french-canadian expression, is there any real american couterpart?).
My new boss: He is fresh out of the Sherbrooke University where he completed his bachelor degree. While still in his studies he came to my company for a "stage". I trained the guy and I knew that if that kid comes and works for my company, he would soon be my own boss (I hate it when I'm right like this).
My previous boss: The same age as my actual boos he never did more then High School but he managed to learn incredible technical skills in an engineering consultant company. He only lacks some management skills, specially on howto handle employees, but he's still learning and getting better.
Bill Gates: He's a late drop-out and I'm sure that he left Harvard just before learning on howto do reasonnable business with others.
Myself: In 1982 I was 16 and I programmed a 3D algorhytm in basic on a vic-20 (results were printed out for futur capture on film Super-8, that's the closest I got of "real-time 3D). That's crazy but I did not know anyone making money out of computers so I did not study right away in computers and I lost my chance of being really someone in the field.
Conclusion: It's only a rule of thumbs with some rare exceptions but there it is: "Life's easier with each degree you get".
This expression is to express my profound satisfaction over the situation.
Since the day I wanted to get into programming I hated Microsoft. I backed off because I could not find a programming tool adapted well enough to their Win95 without paying a lot.
Now, the most popular american judge on the planet said something like "Bill Gates' company is a grouping of son of ****"
Squatting was bad but the only thing the system lacked was some limitation on quantity and maybe some objective faith checking would also be appropriate.
Now companies with registered trademarks will go over the little guy that use his nickname years ago to do an original thing. It's not the little guy's fault if the companies lacked vision in the past but it's not the little guy that did the lobbying to get that thing going.
Times got a mandatory registration process and This kind of measure should not be encouraged.
I would like reading Times articles but I don't like being categorized and I don't want anyone to control the information that comes in front of me. I accepted the registration process of Slashdot b'cause they enable easily everyone to be anonymous but I don't trust a bigger company doing the same.
Times does not enable easily and clearly a way to browse its articles anonymously.
1- Sure... 2- Sure too.. 3- Sad... 4- Since dawn of times 5- it's a strange idea anyway 6- Where is the freedom in a country where the kids aren't free to go to the Internet, play their favorite games and express themselves (if you don't follow my point you should go back to the top of the thread of those messages). 7- Why the solution of really being more open minded would not be useful?
mandatory counseling after just expressing different views?
expelling and exclusion for a trench coat?, there's gonna be a trench coat wave all over and they'll panic..
inquisition about video games?
Letters sent to the parent asking to report/act on kid's strange behavior?
And they want to make me believe that it is the freedom country...
Pheww.... I don't live there:)
P.S.: To all geeks and nerds; come to Montreal we have a long winter so you won't need any excuse to stay late in front of your CPU in the winter and in the summer the big bunch of friends you'll make here will succeed in convincing you to go out and party for having fun. You won't feel rejected and actually you'll be cool
Slashdot Mirror
That is if you don't want the GPL license to be diffamed. MS managed to write the word "viral" 4 times just in case anyone is cross reading.
Each day that goes by the Company gives me reason more to hate them more.

I agree a lot and worse, for quite a while now I'm asking myself why people don't sue Microsoft for it?
Is Microsoft free of any liabilities?
