The discoveries by themselves will not harm us, it is the bad use of new technologies that will kill us. Just as the use of nuclear energy to make bombs intead of radiotherapy. The bad use of genetics will certainly have a terrible effect on humanity.
This should be a starting point for a law that obligates the computer manufacturers and resellers to sell computers without OS or better yet with Open source Alternatives =). Let the buyer of the equipment decide whether they want to have a license of an OS that mut be payed either you keep the computer or not after some time.
As this kind of food techologies emerge the diet of human beings gets further from natural food. It is all the artificial content of our food (including the genetic one) that gives and will give Cancer and other actual and future diseases strength. Just plant some vegetables on your back yard and provide yourself some health.
Some time ago I read about a specie of frogs that were able to survive the freezing during winter. The cells containes a substance that avoid this water cristalls to form and therefor the cells didn't die. Maybe this is possible with humans too with some kind of process (maybe genetic engeneering)
It sound like a virtual version of the Inquisition to me. The next step is developing a way to torture the servers and make them change their contents =)
Anyone that read the Congressman's Villanueva response to Microsoft defending free software solutions, could notice that via dialog M$ wasn't able to get anywhere, the congressman was absolutely right. But M$ knows that Paru is a economycally (not cultutrally) poor country of latin america so they decided for the most effective tactic... disguise their economic power and supremacy as a donation. And force them to use their solution.
What a shame
Im sure that I speak better english than you spanish =)
Don't you think?
Pinche mamon pendejo!!!!!!!!!!?

Is Linux Dead?

· Score: 1
Couldn stand it so here is the e-mail I sent to the author
-------------
John:
Refering to your article posted on june 26 in MSNBC:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/772215.asp
I must say:
A big, if not the biggest responsability of communicators, like you, is
to avoid spreading misiformation. In no way I'm triyng to say that you
are an irresponsable. I just think your article lacks of some very
important points that could make it more "information-rich", let me say
without any offense that, it's just imprecise and parcial. I hope you
have the disposition to read this mail completely. Consider it my humble
collaboration to your article.
1.A Linux-based open-source program called Evolution looks pretty much
like a standard Windows desktop.
Evolution is not a desktop environment, GNOME + Sawfish, KDE,
Enlightenment, and some others are, but Evolution it is just a mail
client, it would be more precise to say that:
A Linux-based open-source program called Evolution looks, and works
pretty much like Outlook.
or
A Linux-based open-source program called KDE looks pretty much like a
standard Windows desktop.
2. StarOffice and OpenOffice provide most key features offered by
Microsoft Office... (Up to this part it sounds fair enough, but then
you continue saying)... including a word processor, spreadsheet, and
mail program
What mail program are you talking about?, OpenOffice 1.0 uses your
default e-mail client to send out the documents. Have you installed or
tested in any way Open or Staroffice? What about the presentations
program, and the verctor drawing program that comes with Open and
Staroffice? I dont see here the most important key features of these
THREE office suites, including MS Office, this is what Fedor meant when
he said: "these alternatives offer MORE than a familiar look and feel.",
which is the ability to read and write not only in standard file
formats, like RTF, PS, CSV, or common image formats, but the ability to
read and write, in a very acceptable way, Word, Excel and Powerpoint
Files, which is related to your next imprecission.
3.High on the list of headaches is incompatibilities with files created
with Microsoft products like Word
I hope that this imprecission is covered by my last precission.
3.Small software makers like Lindows are trying to help desktop users
bridge that divide.
I think that this is a good example but without explanation. How about?
Small software makers and developers like Lindows, Crossover or the WINE
project are trying to help desktop users bridge that divide by
developing a way to run MS programs under Linux.
I think your article is more focused hide the great effort behind linux.
4. LINUX HASN'T gone away.But after attracting widespread attention and
generating several moonshot initial public offerings during the tech
boom, purveyors of Linux software and support have fallen back to earth
The widespread attention included the attention and extreme pressure
againt its development from an enormous monopoly charged company which
refuses to accept that there are other operating systems that can run on
desktop computers as well, besides the ones controlled directly or
indirectly by them. I assure you that if this company enormous company
retires their office suite for Mac OS, and inflicts the same pressure
agains Apple by blocking the interaction with its products via License
Agreements or demands, there will be probably an article titled.
So whatever happened to MAC OS?
6. With sales of new PCs in their worst slump in decades, Microsoft is
hoping to reboot Windows sales by leading the charge toward the Tablet
PC -- a sort of PDA on steroids.
Since the title is "So whatever happened to Linux?" and not "So whatever
happened to Windows?". Its is more in topic to mention here that a
Linux-based Tablet-PC is out for some time now.

7.So whatever happened to Linux?
As a reader gets to the end of a reading, specially an article about a
specific topic (like this one), the conclusion should be clear and
rounded at the end but the last 3 paragraphs only talk about Microsoft's
stategies about Tablet PC and Open Source. So I ask you: So whatever
happened to Linux?
I will not extend beyond this point (not meaning that there is nothing
more to say, there are many, many, many things left). Hope this lines
could make things clear enough.

Ahhh by the way. No pies, cakes or any bakery projectiles allowed.
Great! this will now confirm what we all know ... How insecure it really is!
Yeahhh and why not allowing free downloads of the movie too.. cmon be real!!!!
Thats good news so in mexico city the 4 million cars should improve public health, wont they?
What they should do is stop making shity movies!
At this pace the next declaration of SCO will be that Bill Gates is the mesiah or some sh*t like that!
... because extintion is close, poverty increasing, new sickness, so apocalypsis is on it way ... but its ok to dream about it =)
rpms normally are available 3 days after the initial release so dont despair =)
There a far too many jazz records to recommend here are two examples:
Secrets by Allan Holdsworth
Susi a very impresive record by Trio Toykeat from Finland.
>but they estimate that they will hit 2 billion by only 2007
They had already hit the 2 billion by now if AMD hadn't appeared in the scene as it has.
The discoveries by themselves will not harm us, it is the bad use of new technologies that will kill us. Just as the use of nuclear energy to make bombs intead of radiotherapy. The bad use of genetics will certainly have a terrible effect on humanity.
Ohhh sure ... just get those MS products out of new computers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I can see it clearly. System reboot at the middle of the film so you can go and refill your soda and popcorn =)
What's next an anti octane-booster on gasoline? =) It's my desicion if I want to melt my processor or not ... isn't it?

Why worrying, if we continue with this rythm of decadence, there will be no human race by then =)

What a shame
This equals to all the mp3 you can hear for the rest of your life! In one CD!!. Music companies must be terrified!
And then microsoft will try to buy it and try to controll everything as usual.

Hope they did something about the battery, for erlier versions of the IPAQ they didn't last long. More MHz and capabilities = more power consumption.
