Cool. I got moderated as a troll because I had the audacity to question the effectiveness of the darling program in certain situations.
You are arguing that the.doc format is better than the OO xml format, which is from all views *not* right. That is the reason you get the moderation, not the questioning of openoffice...
let's see, how you could rephrase it.. perhaps "i wish OO files were not compressed? "
Let's see another example: " but with monarchy i can declare war any day of the week in freeciv" (troll) try this instead: " i wish i could declare war with no consequences with democracy in freeciv" (interesting)
That's a 50% compression and it's not important for you ? besides *my* "I like to read slashdot" was 24 bytes -- 50 bytes after gzip compression. i made two points in the last sentence, by the way.
yes, this is something i heard before, it seems that win95/98/ME cannot utilize more than 128 MB RAM nicely, this could lead to some performance problems compared to other OSs. but generally this is not important since those series crashed *before* they actually had performance problems:>
gkrellm is NOT a little program !!! it's a fully feature all-around system monitor, and propably takes less resources than this silly green thing windows have ( you know, the one that said that " like any other app this one will take some resources too" -- i cant' remember the name system monitor or something). here is a screenshot from freshmeat if you really don't know what gkrellm is. It is more like all the "little apps" combined in one 0.5 MB binary.
this is not price discrimination, it's not like MS is asking your income to define the price. They are doing certain discounts to certain customers for the purpose to elliminate the competition.
Even this, i believe, is not illegal, if you are not a monopoly, so it's ok for the server market, but propably not for the desktop...
Well, security here means more or less "forbidden". So i believe, mostly it will be about "This data has DRM, and is protected" as all the other you mention are already noted with many different ways.
funny, at first i thought it was about comfort having names from your family and your dogs, in the "secure windows" (after all a simple different mouse cursor would do the job), but i just understood the psycological effect of those names: "before you try anything funny, think of the ones you will leave behind"
So the studio's will be putting out "DRM-only" videos, which can only be played in the DRM friendly PC DVD player with accompanied DRM friendly video card, or your new DRM friendly home DVD player.
Who will ever buy those products? What are they thinking? that by closing up dvd's people will start buying them?
People will buy more dvd's when they cost less to buy and piracy will stop when it will not be worth the hassle, period.
oh, you mean patch the *old* code? sorry they don't do that anymore, but you might get your wish (preventing the websites that is) if they ever have a monopoly on the server market too...
Yes, but as i said before, it cannot spread as it cannot infect binaries, so there *really* is no such thing as a "virus problem" in linux, and unix in general.
It has nothing to do with few linux users, at this point linux users are propably million times more than DOS users in '87 and there were like a million viruses for DOS back then...
No, they propably hid it really well, because it was designed really bad.
For example, you need a seperate recycle bin in every partition, but you cannot have a recycle bin in, let's say, (mounted) c:\documents, so you either need to give users write permissions to c:\ to get the "recycle bin feature" that will actually copy files across partitions (slooowww) -- or disable it...
Actually there is no real difference between ext2 and ext3, you can easily mount an ext3 partition as ext2, no complaints.. (and of course easily turn ext2 to ext3.. ) The difference is just the Journal...
As i said before, OSS is more about perfection than innovation.
I believe it's simply because a good idea like the ones you mention is usually worth selling.
But that's ok, once you get something started: look at mozilla, or even kde, or gimp, or gaim, or... they are as good or better than the "originals" and they got to the point where they actually innovate. There were even other animals standing on two feet before the ape:)
(and of course gtk-gnutella is my p2p client of choice -- i simply hate the commercial crap)
The worst idea ever, especially on a terminal server, where the same stuff gets copied from home to profiles, and back again, and if you do that on a RAID 1, you actually get the porn videos your users download in 4 (FOUR) places in your hard drives...
-Sir you have serious problem with out networking stuff, we lose data all the time. -Ok, let's innovate, let's just copy stuff, and call it something fancy. -but... -BY nine o'clock
my point was that the free architecture wins. At least that's the lessons of the history.
as for the licenses, what, it's easier to develop commercial apps for windows/mac than it is for QT? give me a break !!!
Compare KDE and Gnome to Win3.1 for stuff like fonts, printing and sound
From many points of view, especially networking capabilitites, i find KDE beats the hell out of winXP and i will not ever bother compare it to 95/98/Me.
When was the last time you checked it out? A year ago? that is a loooong time, things are moving really fast now.

Linux is still just a hobby for me
But still you *need* to have an opinion right? But of course, you spent time reading a kernel thread, that must be worth some points...

Ok, if you have to ask, i like giving reasons to use vi:
.. (198 more like these)
imagine these lines:
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
No suppose you want to insert a foo="bar" between the second and the third blah.
Using vim you just position on the first line, select the spaces up to 200 (with the keystrokes ctrl-v,200,j) and simply press s foo="bar"
A second of your time. And it's not some exotic feature or anything, this is how everything works.

In Plain English : A useless distro.

This is not from the article, you should really be more polite
Well, security here means more or less "forbidden". So i believe, mostly it will be about "This data has DRM, and is protected" as all the other you mention are already noted with many different ways.
funny, at first i thought it was about comfort having names from your family and your dogs, in the "secure windows" (after all a simple different mouse cursor would do the job), but i just understood the psycological effect of those names:
"before you try anything funny, think of the ones you will leave behind"
So, in what way, this of all things would help security?
So the studio's will be putting out "DRM-only" videos, which can only be played in the DRM friendly PC DVD player with accompanied DRM friendly video card, or your new DRM friendly home DVD player.

He is getting richer as any hard-working-international-firm-owner, but i seriously doubt that he is getting any *bigger*...
Oh, they just figure that by 2005 they will be the only people making windows software, so that would be no problem.
Actually there is no real difference between ext2 and ext3, you can easily mount an ext3 partition as ext2, no complaints.. (and of course easily turn ext2 to ext3 .. )
The difference is just the Journal...
jfs is a different filesystem of course...
You seem to have carefully selected those, so i have to say it:
There is no functionality there that hasn't been in Unix (and linux for the most part) for years.
How is this "innovative" again? It's not enough to be something new for windows u know...
As i said before, OSS is more about perfection than innovation.

Samba, Apache, proFTPd, KDE ...
...
...
you are right, it's not innovation. A better word would be perfection of ideas...
But still, i can find no rival for vim, perl, enlightenment, pvm, or even the ability to sftp:// from my file mananer (konqueror)
It's ok, you are not the first to confuse innovation with marketing
keeping all the improvements to yourself rather selfish and unfair
No, it's not, it's perfectly normal, and in fact you are allowed to do it under the GPL.
You are not allowed to distribute that work, without the source code, taking credit and/or money for the work of others.
Now, *that* reminds me of the "shared source" thingie, no :>
