The more things change- the more human nature remains constant:]
Banning trench coats, blaming the Net,or video games etc....crap.
On Heraldo Live on Wedsnday 8:00PM EST a psychologist stated it best:
Blame society.
To put it bluntly,we live in an in-your-face society. where violence and war is a way to solving problems. Differences between people is usually settled using violence. Don't believe look below:
Recent: Further look at what the Serbs are doing to the Albanians
Look at what the US and NATO are doing to the Serbs. NATO is using violence to stop violence.
The bleet goes on and on...
Check your history book for more data.
As to more gun violence in the US, this is due to the right to bear arms. But you Yanks have taken it a bit too far...
Why do you need military issue weapons ? These weapons are for mass destruction. Who are you going to kill your own troops ?
If it came down to Martial Law, you gun nuts wouldn't stand a chance. You have the right to protect yourself, so get a shotgun or a handgun.
As far as I'm concerned Military issue weapons should be banned. Anybody caught with them,other than soldiers -sent to slam for 10 years. No probation.
But I am getting off main rant. Society has to change then violence in schools will dis- appear.
In general I find this article how few good points. The author is $Microsoft mushhead.
I'll point out some remarks. [1]Bill Gates isn't a monster. Not only that, but we're all very, very lucky to have Microsoft in our lives.
NOT. He wants to be sole propietor for OS's on PC's. Tell it to the judge.
$MS is only good 5 things 1. Fonts- easier to install than Linux 2. Games. 3. HotMetal Pro by SoftQuad 4. Neo Planet 5. IDE's for C/C++/JAVA compilers
[2]Linux, they note, is 2.5 million lines (at most) of highly flexible, free-to-use and free- to-modify software that almost never crashes and that works any way a programmer cares to make it work.
Best of all, the open source code that makes up Linux is free of charge compared with the $89 one pays for Windows 98 and the upwards of $300 that a box of office strength Windows 2000 can cost.
So Linux is free, crash proof, flexible, lean and the product of a willful young man every bit as technologically adroit and set in his ways as Gates ever was.
What more can I state? This is exactly why Linux is better than $MS. If you need an office suite use Applixware. You can install tons of fonts with no problems. StarOffice is slick, but font installation is a pain in the butt.
Both these products are equal to $MS Orfice.-- oops -I mean Office:-p
$MS's only good OS is NT server. It is Unix-like. My friend told me to try it and he is a die-hard Unix man. He hates $MS. He told me if it wasn't for NT $MS would not be on his ISP.
Here is another reason Linux hauls ass . 1.http://www.student.brynmawr.edu/~ahackman/linu x/ Linux_vs_NT.html
Stuff to make Linux more accessable to the nermal person(spelling mistake intentional) 1. Windoze games ports 2. Universal font installation. Like windows font installer in NT or even Win31 ! 3. Better Html tools. Nice if Hotmetal PRo by Softquad had a port. 4. Better development tools. Nice GUI ide's for C/C++ developers. 5. Winamp 6. A browser that supports skins. Change the look of Netscape. 7. G2-Realplayer.
I can think of other things, but this is a start. I guess I made my point.
