Birth control truly sets people free, women in particular. Think about it; without that most of you would have 7 or more children before you would reach 30. You wouldn't have time for anything but work to provide for them. I would love to say computers, or the telephone, or electricity or whatever, but nothing has had more impact on how people live than birth control has. ------------------------------------------------ -------- UNIX isn't dead, it just smells funny...
Really ? Well, I sent them an e-mail over 3 weeks ago, but never got anything back. On all the bugreports I wrote them: nothing but their automated response.

There are also binaries of 3.9.17 now, for all those, including me, who couldn't get it to compile right. Now I have a question: why does it (3.9.16) use such an insane amount of memory ? RSS is over 40 MB on my machine, having a matrox mystique with 4MB of mem. Even when just starting up it is 18MB. And it isn't just X mapping videomemory onto real memory or somesuch. ------------------------------------------------ -------- UNIX isn't dead, it just smells funny...
Dutch postal services are extremely expensive... It costs about $30 to ship 1 kg of goods. And that is by boat. Telephone services are also very expensive. These things have been state-monopolies and have only recently been privatised. Alternatives would be DHL or UPS, who are even more (but not that much considering speed of delivery) expensive. So, 'not a number' cannot help this extra charge. Computer (or any other) books are expensive too around here. If a book says $50 on the cover, and $1 == f2,- the bookstore charges f150,- for it. Same story for cd's, children cloths, and some other stuff. There are cartels around here. ------------------------------------------- ------------- UNIX isn't dead, it just smells funny...

And please stop turning this thing into another Microsoft-bashing campaign. It makes Linux users look so immature. It is very simple. According to the EULA you get with your pre-installed windows, you can get a refund. If you want it that bad (I personally would, but that is beside the point) go through all the trouble and in the end you will probably get it. It might take a few months, and you might have to invest some money in legal advice, but of course the EULA is quite clear and even Microsoft would not try to wriggle its way out of it. My point is: remain your dignity and calm while you adress Microsoft, it is better for yourself, Linux and 'our' public image.
Also, I think it is wrong to think of Microsoft as 'the enemy'. Why? Because we are all in this IT business together. All workers, Microsoft, Linux, or whatever else you have, contribute something to the general progress of the computer 'knowledge'. Microsoft did invent some good things too. Remember that a lot of good companies just got bought by them, so those people did not belong to Microsoft before. Are they suddenly bad programmers because of a takeover?
Think of it this way: alienating capable Microsoft programmers is a dumb thing to do, because you should try to get them to work on Linux projects. Only Linux doesn't have any money to offer, so they should get drawn to the 'bright' side by 'warm fuzzy feelings' for Linux, its projects, or its people. The way Microsoft-users are adressed by Linux-users in general, I can't imagine it will install any goodwill. Let alone have them come to 'our side'. ------------------------------------------ -------------- UNIX isn't dead, it just smells funny...
...so get a clue yourself. It is not the artists who are loosing money, it is the record industry. But the record industry is incredibly filthy rich, and overcharge their customers. Even that is not the issue here. How many times do you see the lyrics of songs on albums at all? In less than half of them. And usually they are not complete, or only a few of the songs come with lyrics written out. This site provided a service nobody else, certainly not the record industry, provided.
I dub thee a shallow thinker. ---------------------------------------- ---------------- UNIX isn't dead, it just smells funny...
...especially since lots of albums don't usually come with lyrics, or only of a few songs. Who ordered this police raid anyway? If lyrics are not supplied, could you legally put lyrics that are not on any album on a website? I guess you can't, but how could they prove that those are indeed the actual lyrics? Anyway, I definitely see a pattern evolving. The internet is getting less free every day. To keep it free, we should fight back hard. ------------------------------------------- ------------- UNIX isn't dead, it just smells funny...
