Your argument is "some people some time cannot be trusted, therefore I cannot trust anyone anytime" Besides feeling sorry, I call -cough- bullshit. The reverse argument is as true.

I dont expect gui. I expect standard ways of installing drivers, which means a standard way of incoporating.o files in a standard dir hierarchy. Or a standard way to compile "da source" to the.o and then installing it.
Your comment on make is partially correct, but its the same argument that says: who needs crossplatform development, we already have it, its called: a compiler.
Expect, Nay, I deem them neccisary even, for system management purposes and thus as a replacement for win/SCO.
Seen the SCO authentication util? Single sign on for unix/windows? Believe me, this is the system admins holy grail, I just want it from not SCO. (of course)
But it IS what these commercial firms shine at. Managebility. And for now there are holes in Linux managebility./Dread
I doubt that. Not to play advocate of the devil or anyting, but MS sales is _very_ flexible in license pricing, they completely understand that you wont like pay for licenses twice. They give you a nice and shiny paper saying you have "100 CALS" and charge you 50. They will just expect you to have half your machines equipped with a nice checkable holograpic logo on either the machine or some cardboard. At least for the SME's ive been involved in...
- A standard way to add drivers for : Audio, Network, Video, videocapture. Ok, so video usually works. Now the rest please. - A Mediaplayer that runs it all. - Video Capture and recording software that just blows away the freebies from Pinnacle, hauppage like winttv etc. That should be easy./Dread
I often suspect that l337 command line only people are basically just to dumb or lazy to get X work.
On a sidenote: Linux needs better hardware vendor support. GPL specs and drivers as default when a new HP product launches please. Oh, another annoyance: distros that dont play nice with glibc/Dread
Why they resist? Because "I dont like to type", translates to "I'm Lazy", and "I want to use a GUI" to "I know little" Using linux would reveal that./Dread
Capitalism means what the speaker intended to mean when he utters the word. Nothing more nothing less. I dont want to go into a semantics discussion if it wasnt crusial. Its like socialsm: Europens have a vastly different view on what socialism is than Americans. Americans predominantly see Socialsm as a central governement thing (where all is arranged in favour of some social belief), but Europeans belief it just means governing with a social face, and in fact the "less regulation" wing is the more dominant right now. So simply put Americans think "Ethics first" then money == Capitalism, whereas Europeans think "Money first" then maybe some law (but not ethics) == Capitalism.
Well from my European POV it seems anyway.../Dread
That depends on the law. The law doesnt know "pirating" as a term appicable when violating copy right. Using words as pirating isnt "clear cut", in fact it muddles the discussion./Dread
"Stealing" "Pirates", go wash your mouth first, and the lets dicuss WHY the music industry did not jump on the new digital bandwagon.
Because THATS the reason youknow.. If the industry had made LEGAL downloads (aka non COPYRIGHT VIOLATION, get your terms straight, troll) possible, Kazaa and the like would be marginal, but NOOO the RIAA et al started to "lets play Stick our Heads in the Sand, mebbe the digital age will go away" game.
Then half the human kind will be free watching 'entertainment' or 'art'.
The other half will be busy creating it.
No way 'art' 'creativity' and 'instinct' will be automated by 2050.
We only need start worrieng when silicon can make better jokes then Seinfelt, better art them Van Gogh or better music them Metallica. (ok the last one is a strech)
And even then... we prolly be happy entertained lazy bums, so thats cool./Dread

Is it me, or _IS_ there no backup solution? Or is the box the "simple backup solution" for _another_ fileserver?
If it is, is it any good? I hesitate to put my RAID 10 MPG's on anything lesser, and call that a BACKUP.

Hell no.

I also would not like to pay 120 a year to rent a chair, why for fsck sake would music be different?
