Apart from me, did anyone see or had a jagwa sand rover? It was a behemoth of a toy and it was actually remote controlled! I mean it sucked as a RC toy but it was so cool to run over my stuckup neighbor's storm troopers... He has never forgiven me.:)
Which by all my reckoning is also bad. Remember: "He who hunts monsters must take care not to become a monster in the process". I like the GPL, but like everything taken to excess, (except for coffee of course) it would be as bad if it took over completely.
....(IE integrate the drag over the distance fallen). I knew IE was a little slow, but don't you think this is a little too much? Abscribing the slowness of sound to it?
If you dont have a good education how can you make a decent living? If you can't make a decent living how can you prosper physically, mentally and spiritually? You feel less you act like less. Give choice, and many will take it. Those who don't, well that's another story. The problems that poor countries face with stuff like health aid for their citizens are grater than those faced by public school systems,true,but killing the oportunity of kids to get exposure to technology because you want to make a buck no matter what seems a little counter productive; Who will then become MS developers? Give someone a tool to work with and he'll work to better himself, give someone the hope to live and they will take more resposible actions and will try to continue living until the day a cure may be found.
Freedom, that what is all about. I agree with you all the way. Use any liscense you like, but use it after thinking it well. Otherwise the money monkeys will take it from you and the world.
have fun

why agendas? Does anything and everything that is done by anyone must have an agenda or back it? I dont like MS way of bussines, i don't like people telling me what to do, i don't like to be pushed about. What we have here is choice!!! If you want to release something to public domain, do it and whoever whines, well, cut a slice of cheese for them. If i wanted to release something under the GPL or even better, under my own liscense i would no matter what anyone said. This doesn't mean that i wont listen to options, but if i believe that my software or writing or drawing or web page or banner or photo or whatever serves me or the world better, I will choose my liscense. BSD, GPL, Netscape or whatever other liscense you care to mention are just options for us. I really think that the FSF has a point in protecting freedom of speach and intellect, but is everyone prepared to make the sacrifices needed? Not yet, maybe never, who knows but the fact remains that WE are an option and people know. One last thought, THEY ARE WATCHING US, the world is, and no matter who gets what we all win because a virtual smack in the face to the world has been delivered and it has woken a beast that not even the high and mighty (the likes of the goverments and big companies) will not be able to stop, slow down maybe, but not stop. Some will cheat but will not be able to prolong it for long if we as a whole protect our most valuable possesion, freedom.

Wait a minute! What does Napster's got to do with atom collisions? Is this the only way they are going to go back on line?? :)
One thing... CHOICE
Call me crazy, but wouldn't it be nice if you gave the link to read about it? I don't know maybe is just me... :P
