Someone mention the fact that MJ12 (or whatever label you wish to apply to the organization of politicos and capatalistic scum-fucks who rule this planet) that such technology will not be allowed to reach the consumer level as the magnitude of resutant societal change would be too great.
We are not allowed to have technology that is extraordinary. Look at what happened to cold fusion -- it would have caused a true upheaval in culture and thus was stamped out.

KDE Strikes Back

No one cares what desktop they use. As another article on LinuxPlanet which defended Gnome for increased operability with other environments was hinting at, let me do my work.
To work today requires ability to interface with many different environments. Whether you are producing multimedia or text files, you must be able to deliver them to the customer and be assured that the files can be used.
M$ Word-less can't do this. DOC is a perfect example of a proprietary interface. But how many of us think before giving our DOC file to a comrade without a duplicate of the file in a format such as RTF? The point is that your working environment must be able to access any, that is any format that it is given. Linux comes the closest of any OS in this.
The KDE project is proceeding at an admirable pace on this issue with KFilters for the KOffice. Do you see M$ focusing on increasing the ability of their Office to interface with other environments? No. They've seen their Death coming and it is the DOJ.
This is the perfect solution to the problem presented. A router that also doubles as a firewall, does IP forwarding, etc. Go online and research this nifty item to find why they've been back-ordered at many resellers.
Love -- spread it those around you
Disdain -- that's what all the rest get

I'm a PADI certified scuba diver. The claim that beathing "plain old air at 300 feet, and you will die" is so much bullshit. Plain and simple, no other name for such rank misinformation.
Of course, if you want to go down to 300 feet "breathing plain old air" you're going to have to have enough air in your tank to do the necessary decompression along the way to the surface.
I would not use air though for 300 feet, I'd go with a Nitrox mix in my tank.
I feel that once information has become public, not matter the venue (company espionage, internal leak, etc.) that infomation becomes public doman.
Once an activity has begun, anything that is done will be discernable to someone. This regards the creation of software, hardware, company strategy, etc.
If you can't stand the idea of other people knowing about what you're doing, maybe you shouldn't be doing it.
Linux is nice but something called "Slackware" sounds as though it enables slacking. Not something to be admired in corporate America.
On to the trolling.
Linux.com had a link to an interview with one of the KDE authors saying that the major impediment to the acceptance of Linux was device support -- or more specifically, device driver availability.
For example, Creative still does not have any Linux drivers that enable their SoundBlaster Live! card to produce sound that is better than a SB16. Why? Foot dragging and reluctance. (I'm sure that M$ fits in there somewhere:)...)
RoShamBo was a game where one player kicks the other player in the nuts as hard as they can, then the other player kicks, and it goes back and forth until one player falls down.
One effect of the breakup would be the creation of two monopolies where there was one. I'm not saying I support M$. Gods no! Bill Gates deserves to walk the street giving handjobs for cash. (Shades of South Park!)
What I'm saying is that there will be one monopoly for the applications and one monopoly for the operating system. The monopoly that controls the M$ Office will have a virtual monopoly with the Office. M$ Office has probably 90+ percent market share where office productivity applications are concerned.
What part of "standards" do you guys not understand? Looks like they're always a good thing except when Microsoft follows them.
Standards are defined by a global committee with the interests of the world community at heart.
Microsoft "standards" are defined with only the intere$t$ of Micro$oft at heart. They will encourage these standards to be adopted so that M$ can embrace and extend their reach even further into the community.
Hey, didn't Judge Jackson find these guys guilty? Can't they take a hint... ?
I found the PDF file on a website (which has since vanished) describing the M$ version of Kerberos. Since I found only the PDF and not executable, I agreed no EULA.
Therefore, my publishing the specs is not in violation of any agreement.
You will be able to find them after 17:00 EST at my web site. Tell any Samba team members you know!
If you can't translate 24 hour time into AM/PM format, perhaps you shouldn't read them.
What importance is attached to a fscking "Trade Secret"???!!! What can M$ do if you accidentally leave the specs up on your monitor and they just happen to be incorporated into Samba by a technician walking by???
This is an honest question. What can they do? Once you have information, it is free to distribute, no matter what kind of NDA you have signed or agreed to.
What can be done against a plea of "My computer must have been broken into by security expert secret agents during my lunch break".
That posting of yours about Metallica being in the right was nothing more than serious flamebait looking for moderation to earn points, you karma whore!
Screw them all! How dare they say that playing Unreal Tournament is bad.
Fuck 'em!
Look at all the skills I've acquired. My trigger finger is faster than anyone! What about the intense pleasure I feel when my opponent goes up in a fountain of blood!

This seems like an attempt to be the next "Red Hat" stock phenomena, a.k.a. Overvalued Stock!
Not that I have anything against a stock going over $200 per share before a significant market develops.
If money grew on trees, catepillars would ride to work in limos.

Right, I'm going to start programming in a proprietary language that only runs on one platform.
Who's asleep at the wheel?
From starting with 'case preserving' but 'case insensitive' filenames ... ??? WTF???
Excuse me for being overly indoctrinated with Li/*nix -- but something seems wrong with this.
If your foundation is not stable, then anything you build will also be unstable. I feel this to be the case with this filesystem.

Anyone up for M$ vs. DOJ, Round II?
Excuse me, but what happened to freedom of speech?
If I used an Apogee product thought it sucked, I'd write a 'negative' review of it -- AND THERE IS NOTHING A-FUCKING-POGEE CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!
Nothing overrides the Constitution. Unless it's Incorporated.

Who was DoS'ing Slashdot? My conspiracy theory is that M$ was pissed at your resistance to removing those Kerberos posts.
Who knows, even Bill may be a /. reader?!

Please pay us $0.50 for every instance of your Red Hat RPM Manager and Debian apt in existence. Or we sue for infringement.

Not until then.

Fuck the MAN! Anarchy ru13z.
The problem with this government is that it does not concern itself with the interests of the citizenry.
It is all controlled by the 12 major capitalistic scum fucks who run the major corporations of the world.
We are but roaches on the sidewalk of life -- better not move or you might be stepped on.
WTF does this dood mean when he says, "mindless"?
Doesn't he know that this only applies to Windoze users?
