How do I buy it for $5 (10000000 rubles) and bring it home?
It would make a cool yard ornament, definately a sort of "I'm a better redneck than you -- instead of cars on blocks, I have a RUSSIAN SPACE SHUTTLE, BIAOTCH!!!"..
*sigh* oh well...Guess not..
So when the kid's pedophile uncle / dad / aunt / cousin / mother / whatever wants to go online posing at a kid, they only need to grab "Little Johnny / Janie"'s USB fob to pose as a kid?
Hmmm..Sounds like Verisign's "Security" model at work again here...
With the advent of cheap memory, cheap drives, cheap screens and nifty cool players, WHY is hollywood still stuck in 1989?
Why do we have to have obsolete 8 gig plastic discs, when our movies (I dont give a shit what they say about you're only licensing it.. I paid for it, it's MINE to do as I please.. are they going to give me my money back when I want to de-license it? No? Piss on them) could be on a little teeny little drive that isn't going to fail because the "shiny disc looked pretty" as a mirror.
Piss off, Hollywood - I paid you my ransom money now leave me the hell alone.
Oh yeah, and for that BS copy protection? As long as my eyes see it I'll find a way to get past your POS scheme.
Whether or not the one in four thing is true, doesn't it show the shortsightedness of Hollyweird?
While they infight with themselves on why or not to let us watch movies over the 'net, we, the end user have to wait like cattle and sheep to see it THEIR way.
"Ok, come on now, pay us $10 for a ticket, pay $10 for a pop and popcorn, then get the hell out."
"No, you cannot watch it on Pay Per View at the same time it comes out at BlockRaper^h^h^h^h^hBuster, no you cannot put the DVD onto your laptop hard drive so you can watch it on the road without worrying about the original, no you're just a thief we cannot trust you with it."
Give me a break..
Give us a good, high quality download, at a decent price that DOESN'T expire, that we can play in a STANDARDS based player. It's not like I should have to pay the DVD price to download it from you. And I sure the hell aint gunna watch it streamed..
The people who pirate it aint gunna buy it anyway - it'll be out there ONE way or ANOTHER..Why not be involved with the distribution instead of fighting it.
Does this mean that Mike Rowe's Software company doesn't have to change it's name, either?
Why BeOS failed, IMO.

Ten Years of BeOS

Why did BeOS fail? I dont know all the reasons, but here are my ideas.
When BeOS was coming out with their RC's that people had to PAY to get, I sent them an email. Said basically "I'm a reseller. I resell and recommend operating systems to my customers. I understand that you have a superior product and I'd like to take a look at it. Would you please either provide me a download or send me a CD."
No matter how many times I asked, I was always referred to the "Pay us money and we'll send you an RC."
Screw that. If you're trying to make it.. and you have a product that you're going to sell against Microsoft - then dont piss off the resellers and VARs out there by making THEM pay for trying it..
For that matter, I'd have rented a copy of it..Or put it up on my credit card as security for me having to ship the CD back to them..
If you take a look at it, they could have patented the computer, a sound board, a radio station recorder, a camcorder, a cassette duplication system, a tape deck..
This isn't about freedoms. This isn't about the artists getting their "FAIR SHARE". I'm sorry, but I know personally several music performers who have not sold their soul to the devil (music companies) who get along quite nicely just making music locally. If it's superstardom you want - then either make your own name, or realize that you're going to have your work pirated.
I'm DONE with paying for music - GarageBand.com has some wonderful music on it, and the rest of anything I want I'll find online (they'll NEVER stop freenet or.torrent or FTP or IRC unless they pull the plug on the whole damn thing).
You think they're stopping ANYONE? Hell no, they're just putting it more underground. And to be underground you have to work a little harder than just installing Napster (in the pre-Napster Sucking days).
I have a LOT more interesting things to do with my money than to piss it away at a $16 piece of PLASTIC.
Uhm...Not under $20k.
ONE server is about $17k once you've purchased the Citrix and M$ licensing.
The server is a Dual Xeon, 3 gigs ram, 72g hard drive.
When the headline says "Check out the article, it provides a great read" the site stays up. When it says anything about "screenshots" or "pretty pictures", the site disappears.
Does that state something of our mentality (ooooh, prettty!!!) or do we just not RTFA..
If you look at the Amazon.com reviews on these things you will find a LOT of dissatisfied customers. Having played around with one of them myself, my thoughts are..
Not enough ram. Beautiful (but fragile screen) Camera is low low res.. The bottom button starts sticking There's a high pitch scream from the florescent (sp) screen. It wouldn't install or detect on Winblows XP..
The evil empire will stop at nothing until it achieves world domination. But, unlike SCO, the do not want to get their hands dirty - they want to appear as the benevolent kingdom...But would stop at nothing to hire professional (or in SCO's case - unprofessional) hit men to rid the world of the evil competition...
Oh well, move along - nothing to see here..
But at least we didnt have to wait until 3:56 PM for our SCO fix..
He just identified the music industry with the software industry.
Here's a paraphrased quote..
"When Napster was in it's heyday there were 40 million users. Then there was word that it might be illegal and people were like "Oh! I didn't know." So we're seeing some rebound now that people realize linux is illegal."
Now, we can see how tightly integrated Internet Exploder is into the OS...
Oh, say...If the code to IE is REALLY in there, can we have some smart, talented hacker PLEASE fix all those stupid security holes (and.. possibly some of the broken bugs too)?

IMAGINE!!! Porn at it's greatest..
But won't it be hot??
So, the review shows screen shots. I think there should be a sentence at the end of EVERY review for us Linux users -
"This device DOES/DOES NOT have drivers for Linux available/in the package/on the website".
That way - we dont have to hunt it down, and we know right away which companies to support.
If linux doesn't exist, then what the hell am I running right now?
And what did LINUS write?

This is getting SO out of hand..
Lets upload a picture of Shrek .. and see who's face more closely matches...
John Goodman?
Bob Barker?
Alex Travec?
Geraldo Rivera?
Why go to Mars, except maybe to have someone ON SITE to push the "RESET" button??
At least the Evil Empire shows a little good will..
Of course, they probably embed and activate a back door...
The RIAA can kiss my rosy red ass.

April = 1
print "Happy April Fools Day"
Else
print "You're friggin stoned.."
Sorry, I only know basic..
Check it out
And for anyone who thinks Netware is dying -- check out Netware 6.5...It has come COOL stuff in it.
Also, they're putting out Netware Services for Linux betas already...
