Nothing wrong with that, but you can't really learn anything of value by doing this that would be applicable in making a rocket capable of boosting a capsule to office.
And GNU and FSF wanted to use a micro-kernel for what would be their operatings system: the Hurd.
Linux does things the old-fashioned way and here
we are today. With something that works.
Who knows, maybe in a few years time we'll be blasting off in one of Steve's rockets from Ringway to Mars on a late booking.
Highly unlikely. Since bragging about no planning
and no testing is unlikely to get you any kind of
investment money.
You need planning if you are going to build a
comfortable space vehicle for rich people to
fly into space with. Not just the bare min.
but the Ritz.
Since there are so many broad software patents out there that reinvent things that have been known for a long time and are used all over the place, it's no longer possible to use computers without violating those patents,
Please give examples of one or two.
Using linux I can probably avoid any of these.
perhaps software patent supporters need to be forced to be consistent. Companies that want to try to enforce their software patents should have to prove that they don't use computers, and they can't use them ever again so that we can all be sure that they respect software patents.
I could use a commadore 64 to write code that
runs on an intel pc...or even pen and paper. You can't prove that I used an infringing computer
or methods to develop my software.
It's not like computers are in everything these days.
They are and 99% of them (guesstimation) are not
in violation of an patent laws. Which blows a
hole in your arguement. The one in your thermostat for instance. Thank you.
And don't bother flaming me over this. The very fact that you're reading this means that you're knowingly violating software patents this very moment, or perhaps you're getting this as a printout from someone else who was knowingly violating software patents to read this. So, you don't respect software patents, either.
So you wrote this to hear yourself speak?
I doubt that. Not asking for constructive
criticism of your arguements is the surest way
to always have crappy arguements. You have
no idea that the method I'm using to access
slashdot violates any patents. This blows
another hole in your arguement with yourself.
You have interesting undeveloped thought patterns. good day.
please refer to your own sig:
9/11 : The indignation being the ultimate indication - of American arrogance.
You are proposing an illegal action and could
be charged with inciting violence.
If you don't like the system, change it.
If you haven't tried to change the system,
you have no right to complain.
If you've tried to change the system through
the proper channels, and couldn't. You should try non-violent protests.
Violence is not the way to change things on an
domestic level and violent offenders recieve no mercy in our legal system.
sounds like the way a lot of people get and keep their job(s). By impressing people stupider than they are by making something simple sound complex.

These "tricky" consumer product designs
are exactly why I don't buy anything made
by Americans if I can help it.
They design a product to fail after a certain
period of time or they come up with something
dumb like selling below cost. Its bad business,
you are knowingly selling a shoddy product. It
will bite you in the arse. No one with any
brains buys an American car anymore for just
this reason.
Sys admins work weekends and evenings because thats when its quiet...its also a reason to pay them more.
So friday should be a perfect day to get patches to apply to your code.
chill Boromir, just because you did that dying thing in the first movie doesn't mean you have to crap on everyone elses claymation. (Yes sarcasm, understood)
>>I'm really, really impressed at how focused the international health community can be, even when separated by political boundaries and vast geographical boundaries. Lets hope they keep up the pressure to keep this contained.
You know, I'm really really unimpressed seeing that no one cared for months until a few americans started getting sick.
Try not to decieve yourself. The international health community still only gives a **** if it
affects the people giving them the most money.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm curious.
are Apple OSes considered major OSes?
Nevermind, I thought of an answer.
Apple hasn't been on x86 very long.
Neither has Sun Solaris.
So neither would make it into the survey.
Thanks.

Dude, you're getting burned up.
Sounds like a darwin award is coming.
I can imagine him saying:
"no planning, no testing, I put my life on the line because I believe in my product."
Not the way to get investment $$.

perhaps you could.
But it costs money to patent something.
Are you willing to spend $1000 on your document?
perhaps also supplying the alternatives to these would be beneficial to your readers instead of just insulting us?
for JPEG, PNG is a good alternative.
Exactly, I liken this to a "new mafia" that has arisen in the tech sector.
Mafia implies illegal. If what they are doing is illegal, it would be easy.
But it is legal. In AD&D terms they are Lawful Evil. They follow the law and have every legal right to do so.
If you don't like this kind of behavior. Put your vote and your money where your mouth is and change the law.

would you spend your day reading this crap? Don't be too harsh on them...there's only so much a sane person can take.
is a google-dot-bomb....which is why they should avoid it. The internet is a horrible business model.
or any other communist nation:
using the latest and greatest technology would be mandated by the state.
How horrible does communism sound now?

you try doing polygons in claymation!
The success of P2 was that you could play P1 games on it. If they continue this trend with P3 allowing P1 and P2 games, I'll buy it. Does anyone know?
please note the sarcasm.
