So, in order to make all programs perfect for you, we shall:
1. force everyone who codes for free to use only one standard... or else? and 2. make everyone who is used to the paramaters of a program, learn a whole new set.
sounds good enough to me... lets do it... oh, and while we are at it, lets standardise on a common gui toolkit, and a standard windowmanager.
ah, that is your problem, you are not trying to be "elite" but you are trying to prevent other people from doing things to help others. No one forces you to use any tool. heck you dont even have to use a fricking distro! you have the kernel, build your own! heck, or just keep running what you are running and never upgrade. why is that so difficult? why must we always have social groups that try to keep others out? are you so much better than the other man that you refuse to be next to him?
ah, but piracy is all about "distribution" and the "intent to distribute". copying is mute, since your copied DVD is usless financially to anyone but you, unless you intend to go bankrupt selling hard drives full of DVD which can be purchased cheaper at Best Buys:)
why? first of all, IF i wanted to copy a DVD, all i would need is a VCR... how hard is that to get? or i could use my TV card... hmmm how hard is that to get? why would i need to use this software to copy content that i already purchased? are you daft? wake up and smell the java. This is just a prison butt-fuck. they want consumers to bend over and take it up the ass on command. And those who refuse and "trouble makers" and therefore need to see the warden, who will then have the guards hold them down, while he forces them to take their "butt-fuck" like everyone else.
soooo.... if you bought a car, and the car company bolted the hood down, and you bought a hacksaw to remove the bolts... are you doing something illegal?
its your car, its your dvd... do what the heck you want with it..
damn, i think the site has been slashdotted i can't sign up. check the errors i get:
error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/new_account.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeOut or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
well, i know them as "brine shrimps" or something similar to that. When i grew up in Trinidad, there was a time my brother and i raised siamese fighting fish. and one of the thing that we fed em was those brine shrimps. you could buy em in the petshop, in little plastic bottles (they were the eggs or some such thing), put a certain amount in water and put a airpump in the container, and in a few days you have those yummy food to feed to your fishes. we also fed the fishes mosqutio larve. Ah those were some good days. I think i will give my brother a call and verify some of this info, since i do seem to have a bad memory.
funny you should say that... i remember when i first tried sawmill, it was a while back. and man, it really sucked hard. but that is what you get when you start a project. but good lord, sawmill is now one sweet windowmanager. Unfinished code should never be used by someone who is afraid to get burnt, or to lend a hand.
I don't think these things can qualify as "gadgets". since they helped advanced civilisation to another level To add something to the list you have to asked yourself how has it changed society, and what would life be like without it.
This sucks! I thought the world was going to end. now i have to find some way to explain to my boss that i didn't really mean those things i said to him last year. Hmmm... I really wish i hadn't quit my job, and invested all my money in 2 ply toilet paper. Oh well, i will figure something out by monday...
Its all penis envy if you ask me. Its like that question you hear people ask: "do you think you are better than me?" if you say "yes" they feel offended, if you say "no" you acknowledge that you are as good or worse than the person. So, you damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
I see you have never played diablo on battlenet. At first the cheating wasn't so bad, then it became so disgusting! Trust me, people will cheat, just because they can. And the code to Diablo was not available. so closeing the source or opening it does not always mean you have a cheat free game. Someone, somewhere will find a way to cheat, if they really want to. but that does not mean that you have to stop trying to prevent the cheaters.
however, most software is not "sold" to you, they are "licensed" to you. Which is a big difference since you have to abide by the rules since you DO NOT OWN it, the company still does:)
god damn it! how i hate that bug! when ever i have to fill out a form or select some sort of information on a web site and i see than menu selection box, i shiver and hope it is a short list.
what i think they mean to say is that you can take those non free stuff out of a RH distro cd, and it will still install fine, without you knowing anything was wrong. Remove Lizard, and you have nothing... except their old crappy text based installer which sucked harder than my left nut during a cold winter night in NYC while waiting for a bus thats 2 hours late during a 2 week snow storm.

dude, you forgot "pockets"
where would we be today without pockets?
Missing are such things as:
the assembly line
the laser
the airfoil
I don't think these things can qualify as "gadgets". since they helped advanced civilisation to another level

Well sir, if you know of a better way to do it,, then do it and PROVE that its better, else STFU.
Thank You.
Else i will refund you the money you paid for your slashdot membership.

Well, go talk to Epson, they don't care about your money, else they would give you drivers for your OS.
geesh
i can't believe people are still calling Gnome and KDE "window managers"
man...
however, most software is not "sold" to you, they are "licensed" to you. Which is a big difference since you have to abide by the rules since you DO NOT OWN it, the company still does :)
2400! i wish!
i had to whistle tones down my phone.
you young people of today have it so easy.
god damn it! how i hate that bug!
when ever i have to fill out a form or select some sort of information on a web site and i see than menu selection box, i shiver and hope it is a short list.
yeah, me too
but if you type in the url manualy, it will take you to the site.
can you say EULA?
Tell me when i can sue Microsoft, and i will give you all the money i get from the case...
Very good point!
:)
Supossed God used evolution to create life? it would explain alot and make both sides pretty pissed off
Oh well, back to riding the fence
