.. an 'ol-school rock and roll band to get out there on the steps, put on a free public gig, seriously rock out, get the whole thing on tape, and put it on the 'net for free.. causing a wild storm.. this would be it.
the point of this is: substantial public non-infringing use, and this means one thing: Art.
a purpose-built linux system, doing only that task.
if i need to do one thing, and one thing only, i will build my own system for that application.. for that, OSS/Linux/GNU is superlative.
for general-purpose computing, however, OSX is king. the other day i couldn't believe i was playing a consumer game like UT2004 on what is essentially a portable Unix workstation, finally, after all these years..
and can only describe how much i agree with this in utterly banal terms.
code is design.
take any programming language, whatever virtue, whatever failure, it does not matter. the fact that it is a language at all, proves it.
because any single language exists solely and uniquely by and for design. language is for designing things, and describing the design of things to other people, over a process called 'time'.
design implies persistence, and as we all know, time destroys all things. language is design over time, and the multitude languages of mankind, even that of his machines, exists to design things.
i mean to say, this is a language truth, not just a computer programming truth.
programming languages, as language, are a designed language used to describe very specific activities.
take any real-life problem, turn it into a virtual machine, design a language around it (or use whatever is there, in the situation being systemized, already), and you have your application done.
language: the worlds most intentionally widely misunderstood subject.
.. this saddens me immensely, because linux rocks the box.
stuff like this is gonna slow that waaaaay down in these quarters. the stupid fools in the EU Commission don't seem to understand that while they're partying with Microsoft, Asia is pumping out thousands, upon thousands, of linux-kernel products, and that if this becomes a serious issue (rather than just propagandist tripe), it won't be long until the offending code gets ripped out and replaced with public-trust patented code.
and in the meantime, where is the manufacturing going? its not sticking around in europe, yo!!

if we are expected to believe that halo3 is being used as an offensive weapon, why should we not be expected to believe that sony won't have a defensive strategy in place, which nobody knows about, which is to create another total kick-ass next-generation FPS that "putsches Cell", so to speak?
its not like Halo itself isn't itself a total rip-off. you think sony can't rip-off too? duh, hello, the Halo Cult is well-known and well-respected.. and certainly not the first of its kind.
this is just sensationalist tripe in a reactive market (gamers). grow up folks, its only a video game. the hardware, however, doesn't get made with pixie-dust..
Mod2: And when you've been on the internets as long as we have, you know that anyone who uses all caps and multiple exclamation points just has to be sincere.
Honest. Super-duper computer-scientist borks might like to think their pretty little electro-future is something the world 'needs', but its a load of crap.
if you don't know the tricks, the ball-spin does seem like cheating. i had to teach my friends this damn fact many, many times, and still do every time i have to break the ol' pong out.
yes, i've got one of those old pong machines, battery-powered alas, and it still 'rocks' to play, if you've got an LCD projector and put the whole game-field over something nice, like, say.. the building next door, or the neighbors garden, or the street outside, heh heh... nothing quite like meters-high pong on a saturday night.
okay, there are a few things like that, but not many...
In the 80's, we had magazines that would include software on plastic 'vinyl' slip-ins that were bundled on the cover.. i used to have a whole collection of these mini-records, full of software from the magazine..
nice idea, though, to be mixing up assembly and music. take that, miss spears!!;)
Some of the local indigenous people had stories handed down over generations from their ancestors who had also suffered through a tsunami, and from these stories some of them recognized the warning signs and knew what to do. No mystical explanation required in that case.
So, what, you're saying that history is a sixth sense?
Look for LiveCD's from Agnula, apodi, &etc in the very near future..
In fact, you could say that the LiveCD solution is *THE* solution for the most reliable Digital Audio Workstation setups these days... nothing to install, nothing to setup, you just boot the CD and use your hard disks to save your sessions.. truly unique in the world of DAW's...

Does this sound a lot like "The Network is the Computer" to anyone?
Nope. To me it sounded like a well thought-out and intelligent discourse on the problems of software development.
Stop with the pseudo-clever melodramatic BS already.
Why, so people who don't understand what he's saying can stop being dicks?

.. and encode RFID's into a Freenet node ID, and suddenly you have an 'open source use for RFID technology' with chilling implications.

Do you think your processor should contain open microcode as well?
As a matter of fact, yes. I do.
And, I know for a fact I'm not the only one.
Open Operating System, Open BIOS, and Open Microcode. Fine!!
.. is, then, a corporate lobby which pushes for the end of all corporate lobbying.

that'll screw 'em!
(oh, btw, it should be a publically traded corporation
They must eat more lentils there...
yeah, right. 'those' guys, the ones you're degrading with the fart jokes.
they do eat more lentils there, yo. thats why they're generally fitter than your average consumerican slob.

Why, after all this time and attention, are wearables still not commercially available?
Because its a straw man. Nobody wants to wear a frickin' computer, man!!!
Besides that, what the hell do you think this is?
Honest. Super-duper computer-scientist borks might like to think their pretty little electro-future is something the world 'needs', but its a load of crap.
Cyborgs are a crappy Consumerican desire!!!

i hate tearing down my torrents, just coz i got a videocall.
100MB/s would let me keep all that running, while also dealing with high-bandwidth demands.
just face it: the U.S. is lagging, because its people have no imagination. you proved the point.
Funny how the stock market crashed the day [19 oct 1987] before 5X5 Go is solved [20 oct 2002].

what part of "VOIP" did you not understand?

Last I used RedHat, was version 6.. I moved to Gentoo shortly thereafter, but I'm curious .. what does a RedHat user move to?
Are there RH-like distro's out there worth the salt of a new partition?
Its Monty Python, you insensitive clod!
