IBM and HP don't have UNIX systems anymore.. and for all I know Solaris has something similar to this.. in any case, gpg isn't going to be top on the list of applications used in a government contract.
on Windows it is centralized and conforms to government requirements because, get this, Windows development is centralized, and Microsoft sell Windows to governments. Amazing huh? Now, of course, if you think this is important, and can code, you might feel like going and writing a daemon for handing out certificates. Hardening it against attack, etc. Then go write the support into all these various programs that use certificates. But unless you're willing to do that, we'll just have to wait until Red Hat, Novell, or whoever go for some government contracts that require this level of certification.
it's just that, a GAME! Yep, and clearly you've come to this conclusion after reading all the literature on the subject. Cause I can tell you, the guys who made WoW sure have.
They don't need patents.. they have trade secret and contract law. The purpose of patents is to make information on technique public instead of confidential.. a purpose that it largely fails because the patent office doesn't accept complaints on the quality of patent descriptions.
WTF? You download it and double click on it. You mean after you manually add the gpg key to apt?
why would I contribute it to Ubuntu, they're already plenty aware of EasyUbuntu and would have included it if they wanted to. That's not the way it works. You have to proactively join Ubuntu if you want your shit put into the distro.
Uh huh. Installing EasyUbuntu is harder than installing NVIDIA drivers using Synapic. Here's a crazy idea.. why don't you contribute this script to Ubuntu? Shocking I know.
The whole point of a distro is that people who know more than you do have encapsulated that knowledge so that you don't need to know it. Obviously, if you update x.org yourself you're going to have to know something about screwing around with xorg.conf. Obviously, if you install the NVIDIA drivers yourself you're going to have to know something about compiling kernel drivers or where your x.org lib dirs are. If you don't want to know this stuff, leave it to the distro makers.
Similarly, after installing KDE Desktop on Ubuntu you might find some things are not as well setup as they are in Kubuntu. Don't complain when you find you need to know stuff about KDE integration to fix them.
There's plenty of alternatives to government issued monopolies, which are less susceptible to abuse and chronyism. Patents take so long to be issued these days that they provide no investment protection - unless time-to-market is reduced - which has even worse impact on investment. Copyright, patent and other government issued monopolies such as spectrum assignments should immediately be abolished.. the resulting "chaos" will be good for consumers and ultimately good for everyone.
Where's the Mafia? I mean, do the RIAA have a list of college-kids-not-to-sue, cause I would have expected one of these executives to have gotten "wacked" by now for threatenin' a mob boss' kid.
I don't know if you're just trolling or what but I'll pretend you're serious.. if you don't think companies that make source code for their drivers available are better than companies that don't then maybe you have a right to misunderstand when someone pro-linux recommends you buy a computer with Intel 3d video hardware. So let me put it this way.. if Intel was releasing source code for their Windows drivers (and they might be, I don't know) I'd recommend to Windows users that they go with Intel 3d video hardware. Why? Because when Intel releases new video hardware (as they do) you are guarenteed that you won't be left out in the cold.
Of course, if you're of the opinion that consumers shouldn't choose which hardware to buy based on rational decision making, I guess no matter what I say will convince you that there are reasons to use Intel hardware over others.
They don't care about the illegal drug trade.. they care about enforcing their personal morality on others. It's all about the circle. You know the circle? It's where middle class white people live. Anyone outside the circle must be demonized, treated and brought into the circle or institutionalized so they don't upset the circle.. then they can call them "normal". If you happen to be inside the circle, and you want to stay inside the circle, you better make sure you hide what you do that might push you out of the circle. What's this got to do with the government? Well, was a time when the government wasn't really very effective at defining the status quo.. the people did that, and the government followed.. but we don't live there anymore.
"Many developers in the kernel community consider kernel level modules to be subject to the GPL terms. Novell respects this position and has a policy of distributing kernel modules that are compatible with the GPL," said Holger Dyroff, vice president of Linux product management, in a statement. It's old news.
Open Synapic, select Settings -> Repositories, tick the box that says "Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)", Close. Select Sections (it's the default), scroll down to the bottom and select "restricted". Click on the box next to linux-restricted-modules-2.6.10.5-1. Click apply. Watch Synapic do it's thing, restart X.
or, ya know, from the command line: fix your/etc/apt/sources.list to include the restricted repository, apt-get install linux-restricted-modules, restart X.
As for KDE, meh, if you mean Kubuntu, say that.. if you don't WTF are you doing running KDE?
As much as we've liked bashed up on Novell lately, they happen to be the best people to do this kind of hardware certification as they have explicitly stated that they are against binary drivers; hopefully they will recommend Dell ship Intel 3d hardware and this will make NVIDIA and ATI sit up and notice. Oh, and I don't think that winmodem will be acceptable either.
Got a question for ya.. what's the relationship between rock throwing and complex sentence formation? Most everyone would say there isn't one, but some stroke patients exhibit solely failures in these two areas from damage to a single point in the brain. Clearly there is some relationship. Some scientists have theorised that the very complicated planning that must be done in the "get set" phase of throwing a rock was slowly evolved and improved upon then, a few thousand years later, when language was being developed, this ability to plan an evaluate things ahead of time is co-opted to the new use. Stuff like this happens all the time. Bladders become lungs. Cooling vents become wings. The point of my post here is purely that things are more complicated than you imagine.
For a parallel in the macro world, describe how to "evolve" the design of the modern automobile into a space shuttle, wow, you refuse to learn how biology works, so you want to make an analogy to engineering, and you wonder why you come to a nonsense conclusion. Amazing.
Great, now remake your argument without assuming that all "harmful" mutations effect procreation. What about them, huh? This trivialization of evolution is what is doing so much harm to public perception of science. It shocks me that less than 2% of Darwin's On The Origin Of Species is taught.. and virtually none of the rebuttals and refinement of the theory since Darwin are taught. Most of the defenders of evolution don't even know the theory they are defending.
Here's a challenge for ya: I claim general relativity is hoppycock, quick, make an argument that it isn't! A sensible reply is recognise the absurdity of trying to argue such a complex theory with a layman and tell them to come back when they have some specific arguments.

they're one use only gates... you'd need a hell of a big layout just to execute an add of a few bits.
HP-UX is dead.. as is AIX.. try to keep up.

Hint: it's about immersion.

Personally, I think it boils down to one thing.. back when they failed to prohibited alcohol, the government was much smaller.
The end of the prohibition of alcohol really was a one off case of common sense on the part of law makers.
It may never happen again.
that you had to train and the way Apple hid this concept from consumers until they had already bought the product.
Kinda shameful that untrained hand writing recognition is still shit.
