While i agree totally it was garbage, i honestly dont remember v1 being pre-installed anywhere, and this is a *retail* box. Complete with 'export restriction' tag..
Back when it was new, we were installing OS/2 instead..
Its just in my collection for the sake of history, sitting aside other classics such as 'dejaview' , 'concurrent dos', 'desqview', 'symphony'.....
So to answer your ignorant question: Correct, your 'contribution' would be of no value.
Furthermore, you should be banished from the country if you happen to live in the USA. ( assuming you disagree with the constitution and its original 10 amendments thats is )
PS, I'm done dealing with you. This is far too OT now to continue.
Isn't allowed in my house, so he already knows there are alternatives.
Well, actually i take that back, i do have an original unopened box of 'microsoft windows environment 1.0' on the shelf with my other retro software collection.. But that is different..

Seems like his 'enforcement' has relied on the good nature of the 'violators'.
A quick glance didnt point out any legal findings in real court, so its all just a lot of hot air.
The GPL doesnt stand up.
Using nuclear waste we could be powering all these devices, and our cars.
Would it be 100% efficient? No, but since its *waste* so what? We still come out ahead.
Would put out of business the entire oil industry. And battery...
Eventually the non-flag honoring systems will dry up and dissapear due to time.
For an easy example, try buying a black and white TV.. No new ones, and old ones are getting scarce.
Or try getting a 'wax cylinder player'... Even harder. For the common man they dont exist.
Sure this is different as its about raw controlling technology, but the theory is the same.
LCDs are still too costly to *replace* the CRT market.
Once you can get them dirt cheap, then we can talk.
Until then, its just hot air.
This seems to be going around a lot lately.
He seems to have forgotten when the ix86 was a 'minor platform'..
Once upon a time the 65xx was king of the hill.
If you become singleminded, you only serve to hurt the future, and perhaps prevent something else thats better from coming along..
Besides, i bet if you count them there are more ARM and MIPS CPUs out there. Remember there are a LOT more embedded processors then desktops..
Its mine and ill do as i please.
If you dont want to risk people copying, then dont release it at all.
Screw off.
Its sort of ludicrous to compare a ix86 to a PPC, especially on the basis of form factor.
"my *red* GM car is better then your *blue* Ford car"
Is this moron day or something?
Ever hear of headphones you idiot? Or how about this: mind your own business at the office?
/.?
Or do you just have ADD and just cant be an adult and concentrate on YOUR job?
Instead you waste your employer's time with excuses, while you post on
Sounds like you have the problem. Not your employeer. ( except that he hired a loser )
The chances of no life is pretty slim.
However, the fact we are pretty late in the 'cosmic timeline' would lead one to think that most intelligent life has long since died out.
But space is vast.. and anything is possible if you use large enough numbers..

Geesh people, you dont get privacy in the work place unless you own the damned place.
You work for them, period. Its their place, their rules.
You want privacy? Go home.. ( well at least until the fucking government starts putting cameras and microphones in our homes to 'protect us'. )
Moron, cant you read? I said ANY subject.

That was more of a joke then anything else.
Few of us will ever be allowed to leave the monitored areas.
Just start monitoring everything, by everyone.
Declare the entire population is under investigation, and just get rid of those pesky constitutional rules that protect our rights.
And this country isnt the only one heading this direction.. Moon base anyone?
Sorry, there is no valid arguement or debate against the 2nd amendment. its clear and absolute.
And if you disagree with it, then you have nothing of value to say on ANY subject, no matter how smart you may *think* you are.
It will also be happier with the 64mb you have...
Most any current mainstream linux distro will choke on you. Which is sad.
FreeBSD is a lot less resource hungry, and you will be happier with its performance, and manageability.
Oh, wait, i didnt support 'linux', i guess that means ill get modded down. oh well..
Isn't allowed in my house, so he already knows there are alternatives.

If he's against my freedom that is guaranteed by the 2nd amendment, then nothing, i repeat NOTHING he says has any relevance at all.
He is just a raving lunatic.
Only pirates trading in 'copyright infringing materials' use bittorrent.
Thats what my friends at the *aa's told my child in school last week anyway... And something about a 'reward program' of some sort.
Sounds like he's against the freedom guaranteed by the 2nd amendment of the US constitution.
So in his mind, a freedom is ok if HE supports it.. But if he doesnt support it then its not a freedom?
Never took the man seriously before, now i know why: Aside from his mindless rants that often border on lunacy, he's also a hyprocrit.
Simple, because you worthless losers moderated it improperly.
What does the distaste for information about a worthless part of the world have anything to do with American out-sourcing?
Besides, its sort of hard to be out-sourced when you own the place.
Considering I'm the ONLY person around here that counts.. My interest should be a concern of yours.
And reading about a bunch of idiots down in Africa doesnt interest me a bit.
And this is supposed to interest me how?
So let me get this straight:
I should be envious of people that have lied cheated and stolen their way to the top? And if I'm not, then I'm considered jealous of them?
You are as disturbed as they are.
Does not mean you cant run something else.
Look at people running linux/bsd on a PS2 for a current example.
Hell, on my old Atari ST with its OS in ROM, I ran mint from harddrive..
Just being in rom doesnt prevent diddly..
