  1. Re:The Era of Linux is at hand on Why American Corporate Software Can No Longer Be Trusted · · Score: 1

    Theoretical fredom is not freadom, either you have it in the practical meaning or you dont have it at all.

    A child can say, I can do whatever I want, but if the mother can go and give him an order, he does not have the stated liberty, it was imaginary.

    Sometimes enforcing liberty can achieve more freedom than letting it free itself (in the society)

  2. Re:Have you talked to anyone? on Ask Slashdot: Handing Over Personal Work Without Compensation? · · Score: 1

    Im not completly sure about the easiness to get some sysadmins possitions replaced, it is true that there will be a long list of guys stating that they can handle the job, but finding someone that actually does is not easy, specially for a HR dept, you need people that know what to evaluate to get the correct candidate on the job, and that is not that really easy, specially if you are not willing to pay the correct amount of money (the correct candidates will not even show up on your offers)

  3. Re:Hey dumb ass on Ask Slashdot: Handing Over Personal Work Without Compensation? · · Score: 2

    I usually have this in mind when evaluating the "need for a product" a company has, if they cant/wont pay for it, they dont need it.

    It stoped being "clanestine" some 30 years ago, in México AND in USA

    In my best times I had >80,000 mp3 on my library, that worked perfectly on amarok, some 7 years ago

  6. Re:Sigh on Sorry, IT: These 5 Technologies Belong To Users · · Score: 1

    Not wrong, just think about security standards compliance, more IT guys needed to support X new technologies/OS/devices, and the training needed for that, oh, and a little bit of wage rise so that the silly sysadmins are willing to get more work instead of accepting that juicy silicon valley offer that they have been evaluating with their families because it would involve a city migration.

    Easy, isnt it?

  7. Re:BSD license was always more permissive, so grea on GPL, Copyleft Use Declining Fast · · Score: 1

    the source would still be accessible, that is the requirement of GPL, try again :P

    for geeks, us around here are kind of not-so-analytic, isn't it ?

  10. Re:BSD license was always more permissive, so grea on GPL, Copyleft Use Declining Fast · · Score: 1, Insightful

    there would be no pirates with pure GPL software, technology is supposed to be for the good of all, not to enrich a few guys.

    And yes, I know I'm being utopic, but that is true

    everything has pros and cons, we can have something good for "economics" but bad for society as a whole

    That is what happens with GPL and BSD

  12. Re:Easy to do on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    With that I can agree :D, sadly we are in a society that does not actually care for a lot of social groups, even in first world countries like yours

  13. Re:Easy to do on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    This must be a cultural issue, or that you simply haven't seen all kinds of prostitutes, but I have seen a few in mexico city mostly, and it is hard not to notice a few of them doing inhalants (i dont know the english word, painting thinner), so I cannot believe they are really happy working on that

    I have never seen a high profile protitute, but from documentaries and the like I pretty much get the idea that most of them not only do drugs, but are really addicted too and cant actually work without to forget the internal pain that causes being prostitute

    I know there must be some of them working for the actual fun, just like some porn stars, but let's be honest, even in porn business that is not really the norm.

    On the other side, I know not every client will abuse, but some will, and we cannot say prostitutes have the highest rank on moral rules, they try themseles to handle the most to win money, that combined with aging is not a good outcome, I would say

  14. Re:Easy to do on Google Donating $11.5M To Fight Modern Slavery · · Score: 1

    How many happy non addicted prostitutes do you know?

    Im actually religious, but that doesnt make me stupid, and even if we dont have to agree, prostitution is degrading and very dangerous, just as drug addiction, or even usage for some drugs, it's not like other activities like boxing or wrestling, this is paying to humilliate and abuse a human being, how can that be good? And I know there must be people that treats prostitutes with respect, but let's be reallistic, they are really rare

    Oh come on, next thing you are going to say is that doing drugs is a good thing, and wars always pursue the happinness of the world

    Prostitution IS a bad thing, you can make money out of a lot of bad things, that does not makes them good magically
