Microsoft lobbies and donates to congressman so they may take exception to your ideas. Do you believe congressman care about budgets or campaign donations ?
Good point about the garbage files now ubiquitous on the P2P networks.The production companies and record labels are behind this . The problem is that the software programmers are hard to get a hold of . All you really need to do is allow people to sample the video/audio and vote on it. Kind of like moderation here.
My question is was this a Kazaa P2P app ? If it was then whats all this talk from Kazaa about protecting peoples IP numbers. Doesn't sound like its working.
Good to hear someone in the media has said it. 'Don't pay that SCO license ! '. Investment analysts are probably looking at the SCO/ip/linux licensing revenues from Fortune 500 companies that have already paid up and they think that there probably is going to be even more revenue. Linux Distribution companies need to raise their voices too so we can stop the SCO licensing so we can put a dent in the evil cycle of SCO bashing Linux which causes corporate companies to pay the license and analysts then giving a "STRONG BUY" on SCOX stock which in turn helps finance all this crap. Let's cut cut their damn oxygen off and stop this fire now .
I.T. will matter in the next election

If the next president believes in a real high speed network I.T. will become more important because everything including HDTV and Phone will go through that one fiber.
1)Everyone for themselves. 2) Greed,Greed,Greed. 3)I am moving my factory to China, so screw you. 4) We need to raise our stock prices so we will fire employess so I as a CEO can make more from Stock Options. 5) Fair Trade = mandated quotas on imports from countries that ban our exports. 6) Free Trade = Allow all countries with trade barriers to American products be allowed unfettered access to U.S. markets. Allow as much capital to leave the country dry and raise unemployment.
7) Lets ship all jobs overseas because that should create lower prices for those products and we all be richer and we wont have to work at all ! Keep dreaming.
Don't rely on those people. Most of them are driven by Greed(stock price) so therefore they will cut your job and offshore to India or China.
Diversify and do two jobs at once like own a business(brick & mortar franchise,subway ?) and have one tech job.
You can rely one or the other in bad times.
Be entrepreneurial and be your own boss.
And don't be a suit and offshore jobs like a Phile Knight at Nike.(his shoes cost cents to make but he markets them here for hundreds and idiots buy them , does he care about the States. NOPE).
There is zero lack of community anymore in this country. It's now everyone for themselves and lets open a factory in China.
Jason , my main point is that these companies are supporting an unfair monopoly that has committed wrongs. It may take legal ways to fix this wrong . And I made the point earlier in a thread that the government treats computers differently than other sectors of business. We are seeing legal challenges to the inkjet cartridge monopolies now.
I don't think it would be hard for a court to force hardware makers to release drivers for other operating systems. I think it could be done.
If a company doesn't want people to have drivers, then they can damned well not release specs for their products.
I can understand where your coming from . If this were an open and free operating system market with alot of choices then i would agree but I can't. This is still a closed system and the only way to open it up is 'legal' ways. Hardware companies should be forced to release specs if they only release drivers for a MONOPOLISTIC operating system. This should be about creating a fair and equitable market. What's really funny is that the government sued the car manufacturers when they didn't release the details of how their electronic ignition system worked . They too wanted to keep that a secret.
I work on cars frequently and when i need sparkplugs,gaskets,brakes,lightbulbs,floormats,coo lant,oil and mechanical engine pieces,I don't need to buy from Ford or one company. People would revolt if Ford pulled anything like what microsoft does. That's whats great about cars.
If the courts would see the parallels to cars then they would be more proactive against the microsoft monopoly.
A better ananlogy would be whats happened in the inkjet printer cartridge business.
We need to create a fair and equitable market like in the car parts business.
You're implying that there are only two OS that matter: Windows and Linux.
No. i didn't. Do you want to show me where I 'implied' that ?
If a court established the principle that manufacturers have to supply a driver for *every* OS, then they'd all go out of business. *BSD, Solaris, MVS, OS/360, AmigaOS, MacOS 6, 7, 8..10, DOS, OS/2 etc. etc. How do you choose the ones entitled to support by law?
First of all , I said release the details of the driver OR create a driver for Xfree opensource operating systems . It would be nice if we could find a way for driver software to be easily ported to other systems. I think it could be done.We could develop software that would only need detail about the hardware and it could port the software to the other operating systems. Don't tell me it can't be done. If we had to choose one then it might be Linux since it is the most used or is it MacOsX ?
Anyway, it's a different situation to the M$ case. M$ were prosecuted for excluding a competing product, Netscape, from a platform they sold. Linux is not a competing product to a wireless card and the makers of such cards are not willfully disadvantaging Linux distros to favour their own products.
The government creates laws to create an fair and equitable market . Do we have that here ? No. The Microsoft case was about unfair Monopoly using their powers to hurt others. Well, these manufacturers are playing right into Microsofts hands by not opening up on their hardware. The government should force them to release a version for Xfree so that the minority can use their products.
Can someone tell me why this was modded down ? There is nothing trollish about that . I mention that you need to fight the hardwared makers or they wont assist at all.
A commercial business would take these harware makers to court since they are only making their product to work with only ONE company . Microsoft has been to court over their monopoly practices and has lost. There should be LAW that states that these hardware makers must release documentation\specs or create drivers for open source. If you ask yourself why should a private company be forced to hand out their own secrets then think about this , those same companies make alot of their money on electronic standards that are open to everyone so hardware can be interoperable(DDR-Ram/Mobos). My problem is mainly with the government case and how shortsighted it was. They needed to tackle the computermakers(OEM=orig.equip.manuf.) that have only one operating system available to new computers(microsoft) and these specialized hardware makers that could care less about anything other than Windows. The law must correct unfairness in the markets and they still aren't doing it.

thanks for correcting me.
X can be improved but doesn't need to be rewritten
If this bill takes that right away then that part should be amended.
Anyways how many people are suing ? Not enough to make a difference.
Your right. Only a few spammers. Most from the Us
Klite blocks computers thought to be used by riaa.
Yes , you must use proxy to be anonymous.
more here
use blubster, filetopia, or es5.com for anonymous filesharing.
OUT.
Then we will adapt by cutting that country off, no access to U.S. internet network.
because the 'Do Not Call List' worked !
And now it will work again for SPAM !
No one is taking powers away from the states from suing. Double whammey .
I don't use kazaa . I use klite.
K-lite used to say it hides your ip number. Klite
I just checked and doesn't say it anymore.
ES5 does not belong to the Riaa or there would be no files to trade on it.

Maybe its time for earthstation5 filesharing program
Or how about freenet ? No. It's still too slow and only has one developer. maybe someday.
The P2P filesharing programs seem to be behind the curve in protecting identies.

Kansas City Star mentioned all the offshoring by Sprint and how some of them have started small businesses.
Glad you have done ok.
i wrote that very fast.
Yes.
I meant for the U.S. markets which have shunned it for the general processor.

Wasn't there alot of talk of a certain isotope of helium that can be used for nucleur fusion ?
Here it is Helium-3 but they say it's economically unfeasible.
i thought i was alone here. thanks.
