But somebody probably could do this with
Mac-On-Linux (MOL)--it's loosely the same
idea as WINE, it lets you run a
Mac OS in a window under Linux for PPC. It's
very fast since it's not emulating the CPU.
anyway, having this type of capability for linux
on all hardware platforms is important for linux
world domination. so get busy.
Uhhh, I've been using Linux on macs (including various powerbooks such as the Ti) for many moons, without 3 buttons.... F11 is the middle button, F12 is the right button. It's slightly annoying but once you're used it (getting used to it takes, oh, 5 minutes), it's no big deal. Most clicking happens with the main ("left") button anyway.
Since Apple is probably NOT going to give up on its one-button mouse philosophy any time soon, maybe Linux desktops should "adapt" a little when a one-button mouse is detected. People have gone to great lengths already to get Linux working on mac hardware, so why shouldn't the desktop developers (KDE, Gnome, etc.) go the extra mile too and have a mode where they are perfectly usable with only one button? (or only 2 buttons, for that matter--lots of people converting from Windows have a 2-button mouse). That would make everybody happy and make this a non-issue.
And also ask, globalization of what? capitalism? culture? religion? ideology? which ideology? whose ideology? for whom and for what? which class benefits?
"globalism" is a pretty vague term in and of itself, so trying to say it's inherently good or bad is kind of a weird point. seems to me globalism could mean too many things, and it's more important to ask whose globalism? which class's globalism? global what? does it mean thinking globally, or acting globalally? and then you have ask who is acting globally, and in whose interests? global capitalist-imperialists acting globally to make more profit and make the gap between haves and have-nots wider... no good! activists, anarchists, genuine communists, socialists, and good-hearted people thinking about the betterment of all humanity and trying to change the world to make it better for all and not just a playground for the rich... yes yes yes yes yes we need that!
