But what is really important is what is under the hood.. Look and feel is only part of the importance of KDE. It can look as pretty as a rose, but if its garbage underneath it wont matter much. ( not that it is garbage underneath, just making a point )
So you know it was a 'copy' that you just downloaded.. So what? People doing this really dont care where they come from, as long as its what they wanted.
They will get our money one way or another.. Eventually they will just take it all from your job, then give you what they feel you should get. Then redistribute the rest.
We didnt screw up, we just didnt adapt fast enough ( didnt take the PC market seriously ).
Not having control does intefere with users productivity, since they are incapable of doing it themselves.. The only way to regain that state of productivity is to go back to the old model, and take the 'comptuer' away from them so it can be managed properly. Then they can get back to actually doing THEIR work, and not pretending to be an admin.
we arent talking about offering the option of a 2nd set of dirt roads everywhere and if you want to pay you get pavement.. It will end up being either you pay more, or your dirt road may lead you nowhere..
Perhaps this is all by design and as we look closer EVERYONE is infected with something like this.. might beI how we survive... or part of how we evolved ( as in it wasnt just the meat ) One never truly knows the complexity of nature.

It was a joke.
"racial profiling and detention camps" - Sure, why not? It worked for us during WWII.
Today, but if you dont believe that will be expanded into 'everyday life', then you are either a fool or blind.
Once you accept this, its a small step to the next level.

When i was a kid, we built ours out of stone tabl..... umm ok... they were 8080's... pretty close..

The natural progression of society. its a cycle.

I agree totally..

Never even noticed. I keep my speakers off by default.
Poor choice of words on my part. That isnt what i was trying to reference.
'design' as in 'design of nature'.. not some outdated deity..
That video is just eery... but cool

Where users were controllable and things worked properly because WE managed things.
A user doesnt need any more then just a terminal. Anything else is waste of resources.
I know personally i wouldnt stick around. even if i didnt need access to the datacenter.
If alternatives become more common then Windows, then expect the same sorts of attacks.
Sure, in theory the system level is more secure, but if something blows away user data, its still just as effective.
And dont kid yourself, unix has holes too.. Just no one digs deep enough.
It was just a joke.
Ever seen a flashlight?
Problem with your statement is that a company is only as good as its people. A company isnt a free-willed creature.
Well, they want a piece of that pie.. And if they dont bend a little, they wont get any..
$ wins over morals any day.
Can you think of even one at this point?
Their 'service' is pretty dismal. I cant comment on distribution as we no longer include them in our approved vendor list.
Provide a service and penalize those that acutally USE it.
At that point you are a liablity.
They have to be worth something first.. I doubt they are worth the $ for somone to buy them at this point.
If it is owned by the office, you dont have a right to do ANTHING that isnt approved.
Sure we all do it, but they also have the right to can you for it. Its the risk you take.
