Great, it's not like there's enough communists in Russia already. Please note that managing linux projects in not the behaviour of grown-ups. Fuck-ups maybe...
You failed to mention why he died of a typical homosexual linux inspired death: http://www.linux.org.uk/~telsa/index.html It might just be me, but if my wife looked like that, I would take a severe disinterest in sex.
Try Cuba. Seriously. Cuba has electricity, a better medical system than the USA and has a complete lack of local warfare. You can also buy the best cigars in the world and the government is more linux friendly than communist china. What more could a slashdot user want? democracy?
anyone who believes in God is clearly nuts to begin with. Example: the Governor General of Australia said that claims of sexual abuse by his clergy was rubbish when he was the archbishop of Brisbane. Do you think that's crazy or just evidence of how devoted he was to the church? and itsn't that the same thing?
Good thing is Australia and New Zealand are not in that list. I guess we remember that lame duck ex NZ PM Mike Moore is the Head of WTO.
BTW, see Article 1 (3)This Treaty shall not have any connection with, nor shall it prejudice any rights and obligations under, any other treaties. Does this help us if WIPO violates the universal declaration of human rights?

Not really, I'm in favor of capitalism yet against corporatism. I believe that capitalism works better when it isn't hindered by mismanagement. This means "first thing we do is kill all the lawyers", ban MBAs, prohibit the training of new accountants, lawyers, MBAs and all the other non productive management jobs.
If that's not anarchism, then nothing is. The problem is not capital, it's corporate domination. Who do you think is responsible for DMCA, WIPO, genetically modified food, global warming ? It's the corruption of pure capitalism by multi national corporations that causes these problems. Not small businesses.
I'm programming an operating system that does allow you to use your computer as a PVR / media hub. Kaos has a media design that uses DeCSS to play DVDs, and can play DivX. CD/DVD burning is supported in the OS, not a purchase. Kaos is going to be very fast compared to Linux, Windows or Mac OS. I think it would be better to go with a fresh start than a fresh corpse.
Anarchism has nothing to do with socialism, which is what your nickname implies is your belief.
I'm an anarchist but am totally opposed to socialism. It's possible to want anarchism without socialism. The only Marx I accept as the truth was written by Groucho.
You think diversity is ethnic neighbours who've been there for just 10 years? In my town (Wellington, New Zealand) diversity is ethnic neighbours who were there at least a decade before you got there. I ussually give tourists directions, the only weird ones are the americans. American tourists always act like you're about to take their wallet or beat them up. I laugh when I see them try to find their way from the maps.
New Zealand doesn't have tipping, we never ask for tips (I was a waiter for a while when I was a student) and nobody pays so little you need tips to live with your wages. As far as coffee is concerned, Wellington has more cafes and restaurents per capita than New York City. We even have a few starbucks for tourists who want the taste of american culture.
So you claim that Liberty is a left wing concept? Funny, I think you'll find Liberty is closest to anarchism.
If you want a revolution, don't get rid of capitalism, get rid of corporate control. Do you really think america would be getting worse if the rules were changed to make the maximum market share of media companies less than 20% ? Of course not, you need competition between private media, corporate media, government media to get those pieces of truth out there.
If you want liberty, you have to provide it yourself to ensure your freedoms are kept.
If you bothered to read JPB, you'd know where the money is going to be. The internet is just the transport system, you don't make money by shipping stuff about. You make money by processing resources before the transport hub.
Example: a Japanese company is leasing a New Zealand pine forest for 30 years. They harvest a block in 5 years, trucking out timber after a row is cut. The trucks go to a depot by a rural railway station. The timber dries out over a few months in the warehouse, then is railroaded to a processing centre at the harbour. The real value is in the planks, not the bark or the branches. They are only good for playgrounds and fireplaces.
The real value is in the logs and planks being shipped to japan, where they pay several times more than we would for building materials. And that's the reason the Log Carrier that got stranded off Gisbourne, NZ was such a disaster. Millions of dollars of timber stuck offshore costing the company more than the cost of diesel cleanup fees.
So if car maker does better than the bulk of the market and is more profitible as a status car, why is apple being berated for 4% ? Think about it, is it better to be in the top 4% of a market or the bottom 90 % ? If there was more money to be made in bulk production of junk, then america would have more factories than china.
Trolling is the main purpose of slashdot, where else do you expect unbiased information on this site?
Yes, my stuff works. I don't believe in the infinite number of monkeys that create an operating system by pure chance model that microsoft uses for R & D. At the moment, I've only got the draft UI going for my exokernel OS. Which is several years more sophisticated than "modern" microkernel unix systems. Yes, I'll charge for it. I have a student loan to pay off and I'm not a linux hippie hacker. It's capable of running on anything NetBSD will run on, but I'm concentrating on getting Dual G4 support going first (my hardware).
There is no point staying with a microkernel, the structure of microkernels is a decade behind exokernels. I am porting from most BSDs parts which I need. The core kernels are a multiple failsafe system which is the main point of Kaos, no central point of failure can crash the system. There would be no point trying to assimilate this into existing systems as the algorithms are optimised for an exokernel system. I am still waiting for some algorithms to be published, but I can begin coding now and add that type of algorithm into the soup before the kernels are ready to be breed.
In short, Kaos uses existing BSDs as the compatibility layer and has it's own collection of new methods. Most of Kaos uses techniques developed only a few months ago, not much is older than 30 months as a concept. In comparision, OS X is based on the best technology available 6 years ago. XP is based on 8 year old technology.
Persistance is possibly the best feature of Kaos, you don't lose data if you forgot to save.
ideut is a genuine troll, I disagree with most of his points of view because they are inaccurate. I have not had the misfortune of suffering his trolling yet to be sure what kind of troll he is.
I should have stated the obvious, I don't need to comply with american law as I am a New Zealand & Australian Citizen. I was the first to transmit a concert live over the internet 9 years ago from Wellington Town Hall. Online transmissions by private citizens are considered to not be radio transmissions in NZ & OZ. I think the FCC regulations for Ham Radio would apply to private online transmissions.
BTW, My Karma is now -2, I have to find just more radical statements which aren't linuz zealotry yet get positive attention from moderators.

/. as my primary news source, and then as a barometer of public opinion.
I don't know for sure, but I've personally convinced 6 people of the benefits of Kaos by email alone.

US military grade encryption, can't share specifics at all. It has a 50 year proven track record.
>How does it boot? what kind of UI do you advocate?

Sorry, I was up late. For some reason I was thinking about knickers.
I guess it's the Loaded magazine calendar by my computer.
Maybe on your planet, but my Dual G4 goes a lot faster than my neigbour's dual AMD.
As for compatibility, do you want a BMW with leather seats and a good stereo or a ordinary car with standard vinyl seats and a japanese AM radio?
I'd rather take the hydrogen fuel cell BMW with 500 Km tank and better acceleration than a cheap car that costs more to run.

Wait, I do it wrong!
He got that sentence already, there must be another kind of punishment...
I hereby sentence you to become a closet fan of the next microsoft vaporware project, you will spend years cloning something which can't work!
Wait, I do it wrong!
That's Miguel de whatever. The guy who's cloning Microsoft
OK, how about I sentence you and your beautiful-by-welsh-standards wife to a lifetime of travel by public transport. You will never own a car!

The pessimist in me wants to say "bend over and kiss your ass goodbye" - the next step to a corporation-controlled digital age. Maybe (maybe) it will get better before it gets really bad, but reality's shaping up a lot like this. Can anybody point a link to a list of all the countries that have so far bought into this?
