  3. Re:Altruism.... on 5th Anniversary of Open Source · · Score: 4, Insightful

    altruism , concept in philosophy and psychology that holds that the interests of others, rather than of the self, can motivate an individual. The term was invented in the 19th cent. by the French philosopher Auguste Comte, who devised it as the opposite of egoism. Herbert Spencer and John Stuart Mill, English contemporaries of Comte, accepted the worth of altruism but argued that the true moral aim should be the welfare of society, rather than that of individuals.

    First of all, their will ALWAYS be volunteers! When the economy sucks, their will be volunteers. When the economy is good their will volunteers. Open source started before the boom. In times of a down economy isn't their more of an incentive to help each other out? I honestly don't care what IBM is doing with linux, as long as people are still helping out freely. So there.

    Bra, totaly just joken around.

    However Bill is no saint.

    I donate to, but I am not rich (more like lower middle class). Is Bill a better person than me because his donation far outweight mine? His donation is just a drop in the bucket for him.

    A man with 72 bathrooms is nothing more than greedy.

  10. Re:hahaha - there's justice for you on Slammer Worm Slams Microsofts Own · · Score: 1

    The thing I like about it, is the fact that they've been preaching for everyone to stay updated and blaming them (if something goes wrong) if they aren't updating their servers. Sounds like they need to subscribe to their own service. NIce.

  14. Re:Of course on Music Biz Predicts 6% Decline in '03 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Actually, I think it has nothing to do with either but is based on the fact that people love listening to themselves talk more. In fact the amount of people who love listening to themselves is projected to rise 6% in 03. Coincidence? :-)

    And what's worse is that everyone is complacent and thinks its perfectly normal!! The Green Party wants seperation from corporations and government. They take no campaign money from corporations!! For more info on the green party visit: http://www.greenpartyus.org/

  16. Re:It's just PR on RIAA: We Won't Pursue Mandated DRM Technologies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or is because the software and hardware companies are going to mandate DRM anyways? If that's the case why bother with legislation.

  24. Re:OT: Reasons TO vote for Bush in 2004 on Apple To Charge for Some iApps · · Score: 1

    oh yeah, I forgot how much better the economy got after the first time Bush lowered taxes. Its not worth taking on the dept right now. His new tax plan would give a rebate of 36% if you make over 300 thousand a year (and we wonder why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer). If the business climate allows more companies like Enron to fester and continue I don't want it.

    And come on you know if you were married to Hilary you'd be cheating on her too :-).

    I as well (believe it, or not) would prefer a Libertian candidate. We do have to many prohibation ways still lingering after all these years.

    Anyways, thanks for biting :-)
