Solving problems. That's what I'm good at. And I really like it. I'm a problem solver. I find them, I fix them. I don't care if I do the flashy, high-tech, front-line programming (which I sometimes do) or just some old MS-DOS scrpt, I just want to fix things.
Like a plumber, though it's bytes and bits. And I enjoy it very much, helping people with configuration problems, searching for bugs, all kinds of things. I've been doing this for work since at least 1996 and it's still fun. I don't do much designing though I maybe could like that too, I think it'smore fun to find the bugs in other peoples' design...:)
Don't despair, there are problems to be solved EVERYWHERE!
We are bringing justice to a people that have no concept of what justice really is.
Justice? Who are we to decide what justice is? Or right or wrong? We cannot possibly see the situation as they do and the other way around. The *only* possible solution is... eh, well, I don't know!
I'm basically describing a model where when a source, be it a group or an individual, publishes something, it is in the network forever. Regardless of what happens to that source, tens of thousands of other machines will always be carrying that forbidden data. It couldn't be stopped. Sure we'd gather up massive amounts of garbage and quickly antiquated material, but every piece of knowledge out there is bound to be of value to at least somebody
AutoCAD is a very good example of how to ingegrate both CLI and GUI. You can either type the commands or point and click on them in some toolbar or menu. Usually you learn the CLI variants of the commands after you have used it for a while. It would be nice if more applications worked like this. The problem is to make it logical enough (this maybe would not work that good in a word processor). The GUI versions of Emacs and VI should be good examples too.
The reason I trust that my neighbor will not murder me in my sleep is that I trust society at large to enact retribution (prison time) on my behalf.
Hmmm, how come people is murdered then? I don't think the law hinders that many people to kill one another. If they really want to, they'll do it anyway.
Someone posted a citation from this page so I surfed there and read a bit more and found a very interesting example:
Ashleigh Brilliant is a "professional epigrammatist." He creates and copyrights thousands of short sayings, such as "Fundamentally, there may be no basis for anything." When he finds someone who has "used" one of his epigrams, he contacts them demanding a payment for breach of copyright. Television journalist David Brinkley wrote a book, Everyone is Entitled to My Opinion, the title of which he attributed to a friend of his daughter. Brilliant contacted Brinkley about copyright violation. Random House, Brinkley's publisher, paid Brilliant $1000 without contesting the issue, perhaps because it would have cost more than this to contest it.
I wonder if this works here in Sweden also. Very nice and ethical way to earn some money, don't you think...
Section 26: (paraphrased, full text below)
Making analog backup copies for personal use is fine. Making digi tal backup copies for personal use is not.
Ok, so what is really the definition of "analog"? I mean, everything is kind of "analog" at the lowest level, right (set aside things on the quantum level)?
Microsoft will probably succeed with this concept as they continue to gradually suck our IQ and free will away. I'm noticing a trend at my work that plays right into MS hands. "It's easy and convenient", people say. Well we'll see about what they think about that convenience later on...

So I guess we finally have found a place for our favourite application GNU Emacs. Yes!

Isn't that FreeNET?

How can you lose something that you don't have?

>This, I suppose, will cause a worldwide shortage of lawyers
And we will start seeing more of "IAAL" than "IANAL" here on Slashdot...

- Det är inte ofta man ser en levande kofta
Exactly my point. Well spoken!
- Nothing more, nothing less

Just thought that a link to this would be appropriate right now while we speak of all those fancy GUI:s.

Eller svensk. Jag har inga problem att förstå norska...
Yep! You got it all right!
