People will always earn salaries somehow. If not, there is no reason for AI trucks to carry goods and no reason for AI factories to produce them. Or maybe Skynet will buy them all for its own pleasure.
Yes, you can burn them and spread ashes into ocean.
I take this as an axiom which I don't need to prove: everybody dies eventually, even those that survived a plane crash.
Actually, I think it's a problem that the anti-systemd forces
keep going on about "the unix way" and what-not... haven't they
been paying attention to the way things really work? (Hint: if
esr says it, it's probably not quite right. [1])
You are right, this is the main problem. I like working "the unix way" and this is why I like Linux. The moment you change this, all the fun will go away. And fun is very important for me when I work.
Perl kicked Bourne butt by merging nearly everything you want
into one process-- that's something you'd think a sysadmin
would've noticed.
Right again. But you have a choice to use Perl or not. It is not like installing Perl will make it impossible for you to use your loving shell.
No, you are THE problem. Why spread Linux base? I like it and I use it. There are a lot of things (music, books etc) which I like and most people don't. Would I change them for people to like them? No! If you change Linux to be loved by everybody I probably won't like it anymore.
Welcome to real world:)
It is not about tech columns. It's about all content. This is why I don't want to pay for content. You cannot trust it anymore.
First, the FSF needs to convince us average users need to have control. Why should average users have control over their computer? Isn't this what got us the virus nightmare in Windows?
You should go live in North Korea for a while. And than see if you need somebody to convince you that you need to have control. Maybe I exaggerated but in the end its the same thing, you should be able to choose.
I'm from Romania and we have a very difficult economic situation right now, worse than others, because of a crappy political crisis. All I can think now is how could we vote these stupid fucks. All other countries from EU criticise us because of this. But I think in the end we are the same: Who the hell voted for Mandelson?
Smart fortwo and Mercedes E Class are both cars. All these devices: laptop, notebook, netbook, are similar, size is the only thing that differentiate them. A PDA could be a motorcycle but not a netbook.
It is not the same thing. If you download messages with POP3 you can access them only from your PC. Even with IMAP you don't have contacts from Gmail interface.
Using this feature you have all the things in one place, you can access them from any computer and on your PC you can have them even offline.

In a cemetery?
People hate what they don't understand.
Yes, you do!
...is that it is man-made. So I choose to freak out.

That's funny. You don't seem to notice that you are robbed by your bank.
The even bigger question is, why is this any of our business? As long as it is not the taxpayers footing the bill, count your own money...
It is our business only when the government "save" the bank with our money.

You can try to read a book. A real book. A fiction book. You will be surprised.
/. is my no. 1 site. For news and fun. Thank you.

All of it is stored in multiple locations, with encryption(and decryption software) used as needed.
I moved all my data because i was tired of being tied to any one platform. I can access everything i have electronically on all three platforms now.
Do you think that you encryption/decryption software will run on any operating system 10 years from now? What about 20 years?

Never? Bill, is it you?

Yes, but it wood be nice to have a bigger screen!
Smart fortwo and Mercedes E Class are both cars. All these devices: laptop, notebook, netbook, are similar, size is the only thing that differentiate them. A PDA could be a motorcycle but not a netbook.
I don't think we need new names for the same device in different sizes. Marketing people probably need them.
Seems like somebody has something to sell. I wonder WHO is it?
Doesn't seems strange to you that only Microsoft handle it very differently?
Maybe they want to buy a decent OS? And then drop Windows?

And why they keep adding more?
