I know people may see this as "Propaganda", but considering the foothold Microsoft has on the industry, I think it's good to find more positive news relating to Linux. I find microsofts ad campain to be very propagandic. It's good to see some counter balance.
This story reminds me of my own conversion. It wasn't that long ago (This January) that I switched over to Linux completely. I was quite impressed with all the applications and how well they worked. I have always been a fan of GNU tools. It's nice to have both without dual booting.
Just because it can "sense" (has inputs), that does not make it sentient.,Sentience requires conciousness. AFAIK silicon is not concious. If that were true, my 386 was sentient and I should have felt bad for "killing" it.
I don't know. My hotmail address has nothing to do with a dictionary word. My email address is a music chord structure. This is not a normal concatenation of letters and numbers. The spammers still manage to find my address.
And when lower and middle class people become drones they will be saying stuff like:
"I go to work, do my mindless job. I didn't get an education because in the modern world lay people don't need to think anymore. The machine that THEY gave me does all my thinking."
IF the Check sum isn't as long as the content it is checking, then it is possible that you can have two peices of content that have the same check sum. This due to the pigeon hole principle
I hardly think that just because you download some mp3s and some warez that are likely involved in credit card sharing. Again, someone is making a generalization.
Pirates are people who distribute unlicenced software or media. That do not neccissarily have exclusive access to anyone's PCs but their own.
Anyway dose anyone think that it is plausible to develop a good quality multiplayer game in VB.net? Or would it be a better bet to get a game engine from some place. Anyone know of any good shareware for game development? I want to get in to game development and donâ(TM)t know where to start!!!
You must be a brave man in any case. An oft stated piece of wisdom is that there is no honor among thieves...do you truly thing that the land of crackers and pirates is a noble one? I have no doubt whatsoever that it is rife with those for whom piracy is but one of their criminal pursuits, so I'm sure your cr4ckz/pir8z full machine has been owned and used for credit card sharing, kiddy porn propagation, etc. "But I run my pirate copy of McAfee!" you proclaim...bwahahahahahahahaahahahahaha.
How is this insightful? How can you associate piracy with credit card sharing and kiddy porn? This isn't even a blatant generalization. This pure conjecture. "I'll just make up my own generalization."
Mabey they'll drop the price a little bit to offest the tarif. Also, if American prices rise, their price will drop due to drop off in damand. Thank God I live in Canada.
So why don't they sue google? Why the little guy with no money? Reason: It is probably easier to pick on the little guy. They can also scare people away from making sharing tools.
Excuse me, but where do you expect an artist to get exposure and advertisement the industry provides them with? Sorry, but most people do not spend their free time looking for new obscure artists they have never heard of before on the internet.
Rule of thumb: average person has to hear a song at least five times before they decide wheather or no they like it or not. This will not happen on the internet.
Sorry, ok, I am Linux user, and I have downloaded a few mp3s. But I am also a musician, and I don't feel like being drowned out but every joe-blow in his basement with multitrack software on his computer.
PS. How much is slashdot making off of advertising that they have not giving to you for making your post?
Fuck everyone for trying to associate their desktop with their agenda. Wheather it be Americanism, Europeon, Communism, hackerism, or I-have-a-bigger-penis-than-you-ism.
If the music industry becomes obsolete, you will have no new music to download. Most musicians can not market themselves as successfully as record companies can. Sure, anyone can put up a web page for marketing or distibution, but people still need to know that the web site exists.
Also, because just about anybody record songs in their basements and put them on the internet, they lack credibility. ANYONE can do it. Under this model, we will end up with an increased supply, but the product won't be nearly as good. This why we have professional organisations for doctors and engineers. We know we are getting a competent person if they are a professional (baring strange exceptions).
Here in Canada I get about a Mbps on DSL. Cable here is even faster than that. But who really cares. your penis size is not related to your broadband speed.
I did a paper on this subject. I did not find that there was very much to benifate from an electronic system in terms of user turn out.
The main stumbling block with electronic voting is trust. Even if the system is perfectly trust worthy, people must be able to believe that it's trust worthy to trust it. People must be able to see why it is trust worthy. Electronic voting would be too obscure for most people to be able to understand.

So you upgrade so you can have the latest worms, using the latest exploit, attack your system. Oh! I get it!
In a related story, the RIAA said it would be using this exploit to find out who has mp3s on their computer.....
I don't know. My hotmail address has nothing to do with a dictionary word. My email address is a music chord structure. This is not a normal concatenation of letters and numbers. The spammers still manage to find my address.
No it isn't ready for the desktop, and it may never.
It's the OS on my machine. I would say it makes a fairly good desktop.
Yes, America is better at everything!
So now I can tell my landlord that my cellphone spent the rent money.
And when lower and middle class people become drones they will be saying stuff like:
"I go to work, do my mindless job. I didn't get an education because in the modern world lay people don't need to think anymore. The machine that THEY gave me does all my thinking."
And the CEOs will be laughing histerically.
In a unrelated story, big coporations say that in the future they will be able to forcast there revenues more accurately.
It not they way it's meant to be!!!!!

Personally, I find Galeon to be quite a good web browser. I use it all the time.
I've never had a problem with it not rendering a page properly, unlike Opera.

This is why I use blackbox.

Mood altering audio signals, eh? You mean music.
Yes, Canada has a lot of oil resources in the Alberta area (go look at a map).
