Cunts like Ximian CHARGE for auto-updates. That's what the end-user sees. They've already GOT an Operating System on their machines when they buy them. And they don't have to pay any more for Windows Update.
"Free" software has crippled the Linux industry. Although a load of thieving teenagers bashing away at their amateur code in their bedrooms, crumpled tissue papers adorning the floor, shouldn't really qualify AS an "industry".
Maybe big business users are used to paying for post-purchase support. But home users just want to pay for a big box of OS goodness (such as WinXP, the most secure Microsoft Operating System yet) and be done with it.
THAT is why Linux will never be ready for the desktop.
That this very article has NOT been requested by the Slashdot 'Community'. It is merely michael's will that this article appear, unwanted by others.
So clearly, he is lauding us to "Make a difference" whilst also demonstrating that our opinions as Slashdot users mean NOTHING. This attitude has been present in the Slashdot Editorial elite since the days of Sengen.
For one man's "Holy Warrior" is another man's Terrorist. However, it is clear that the pro-Taliban side in the Slashdot pantheon would have to be the Editors, NOT the Trolls.
Since September the 11th, Slashdot has constantly posted articles APPLAUDING the acts of terror. We now live in a state of techno-barbarism, where the only reason a man would "stand on the shoulders of giants" is so that he may throw rocks from a higher perspective.
This is compatible with the Editorial Staff's agenda. The promotion of technology and the destruction of individual humanity. For is it not the fantasy of the tongue-tied computer geek that all people should be the same? Simpler. Predictable.
... When the consequences of actions are the same?
Socialism and Fascism, although idealistically opposed, have the same result. The crushing destruction of the individual. Within fascism, people become tools. Within socalism, they become workers.
In both they become no more than statistics, their humanity crushed underneath the relentless juggernaut of popular opinion. For we are humble beings, incapable of independent thought, and rely on our overlords to determine what we should believe.
If the Slashdot Editors really saw themselves as our equals, then why do THEY get to determine the stories that make the front page? Furthermore, they seek to fulfill their twisted agendas by controlling what we see. What DOESN'T get reported? What facts are missing? Think about it. The Moderation system is in place to crush Slashdot users. Groupthink is reinforced by the lack of dissenting stories on the front page. Any dissent in story commentary is moderated down.
A vicious circle, yet the Slashdot natives believe themselves to be the intellectual elite, basking in their freedom.
They are as trapped and suffocated as anyone who would click through a Microsoft (Sorry, Micro$oft, that should get me +5, Funny.) EULA.
The gammadion seed has been sown. It would be wise to remember that it was a National SOCIALIST party which rose to power in 1930's Germany.
A way of categorizing an opinion which the moderator disagrees with. Surely, in the world of "News for Nerds" there is a lot of "Stuff" that really DOES "Matter". Yet, time and time again, we are seeing the creative 'mappers' of Slashdot society being marked down as "Offtopic", merely because of the restrictive viewpoint of the moderator.
It's memetic word association. If one were to post a topic regarding the EFF, surely Freedom itself should be an on-topic post.
Likewise, antonyms must by DEFINITION be on topic too. If the discussion was on a particular piece of Linux software, surely the BSD, MacOS, BeOS, and yes, even the spat-upon-yet-copied-for-its-innovation underdog of Windows versions of this software deserve a mention. But "Offtopic" is their grave.
The moderators are blinkered. Weak, blind puppies mewling in the lap of the Slashdot Editors, gorged to bursting on the tiny amount of power they are dealt with. Their little moderation points, making them more equal than their peers - the other posters.
For when you feed a starved animal even the tiniest of scraps, it becomes docile.
Because they are free from the constraints of group-think. The Slashdot Moderation system is no better than Region-Encoding on DVDs. After all, who gets to determine what is -1 and what is 5? Only those willing to follow the dominant meme. Any contradictory opinion is crushed underfoot.
Linux is a buggy pile of shit and doesn't deserve to be included in an embedded system. QNX is the true definition of a Microkernal. The Linux hacks are pathetic botch jobs.
If Belgium goes with Linux, it will become the IT equivalent of a third-world country. Except rather than hordes of starving wogs, there'll be hordes of whinging self-important shitheads who sincerely think they can take on the world's most successful company and survive.
comparison Windows Terminal Server - I hate to say it, but it does a much better job at this - and I hate Windows, in general).
Notice a pattern developing here, Linux Losers? Microsoft is fast overtaking in the few areas where Linux could have attempted an impotent spurt of superiority.
But I guess that's the result from a company that PAYS its workforce.
How about all those endless tirades of Pro-Free-Software articles that seem to think a person working FOR NOTHING can GIVE THEIR WORK AWAY and expect to make money? That's equally fiction, and you KNOW it.
At least Microsoft have a business plan that involves something a bit more substantial than regular Nerf battles.
It's strange that this kind of anti-social propoganda (which if left unchecked will surely lead to another Columbine) is tolerated amongst the Linux community.
They forget one simple fact. The reason that Microsoft WON the Software War of the late 1990's is because the alternatives were so shitty.
Think about it. Netscape was a bloated, sick bag of buggy detritus that would sooner crash your computer than let you use it to view a web page. Often wrongly. And often taking up to ten minutes to re-display a page should the user even so much as BREATHE on the window resize bars.
And Real??? That was a pitiful joke at the expense of the end-user. Clue to the "Brave Warriors fighting the Evil Empire" - When a user downloads something to play sounds on, they DON'T expect to have their computer clogged up with acres of Cancerware spy shit that cannot be uninstalled.
Let alone EVERY anti-MS app that automatically steals away file associations. Userware FACT: File Associations are precious things. They're one of the first things that users customize for themselves. Finding the apps that work for them and keeping them. Familiarity. Ease of use.
Having an application come along and REPEATEDLY map everything back to itself is BAD. Microsoft applications don't do this, they always offer the choice. Of course, some of the other cancerware applications offer the choice to NOT rape file associations, but a "Do not automatically steal assocations" checkbox buried amongst multiple layers of poorly designed preference forms only serves one type of people. The marketing division.
And after all this shitty third party inferior software is installed, what happens? OF COURSE the system is going to become unstable. And that's when they blame Microsoft.
If you put shit in your petrol tank, do you complain to General Motors? Didn't think so.

Pop quiz: How many posts have Slashdot Editors DELETED, even though they have always vowed that they never would?

Their fear is what drives the will to dehumanise.
Yet I am but a little Hobbit, and yearn for the days of the shire.

But it was good while it lasted!
Wee Poo Bab
But what IS Freedom? Is it an inalienable right, or merely a convenience forced onto the will of drones.
If I were to say that "I love linux", I would be lauded with glorious accolades, my postings marked up into the higher echelons.
Yet, if I were to exercise my freedoms, and say that "I love Windows", I would be trampled underfoot.
This means one thing. Freedom is a sham. There is no free will, only popular consensus. Morality is the herd instinct of the intellectual 'elite'.
Because they are free from the constraints of group-think. The Slashdot Moderation system is no better than Region-Encoding on DVDs. After all, who gets to determine what is -1 and what is 5? Only those willing to follow the dominant meme. Any contradictory opinion is crushed underfoot.
But fascists like the Slashdot Editorial team would rather you didn't.
Remember that.
The UnrealEd 2.0 installer DOES require VB files, as it is a VB application that calls a LOT of C++ DLLs that do the hard work.
If you Alt-Tab when UnrealEd's open, you'll see the standard VB application icon.
So stop talking out of your ass, shit-boy!
LINUX - For when you know you're the best, even when you're lying around in the gutter outside the welfare office, wanking for coins.
Such as those of a pudgy 10 year old boy, I imagine. Are you Richard Stallman?

Ten years. How far did Microsoft come in ten years?
Wake up you spastic fucker!
If Belgium goes with Linux, it will become the IT equivalent of a third-world country. Except rather than hordes of starving wogs, there'll be hordes of whinging self-important shitheads who sincerely think they can take on the world's most successful company and survive.
Microsoft have WON. Wake up.
High-speed man-to-man cumshots, no doubt. Filthy unkempt beards clogged up with man-goo.
But now, given the obvious money making ripoffs involved in the production, it's clearly the only people that will profit are the Jew Backers

Selecting "Willing to Moderate" implies that the user must be "Unwilling to Procreate"

Or maybe I'm confusing "Fiction" with "Doesn't sell very well."
Come to think of it, when's Quicksilver coming out?
