"The only reason people strive for anonymity on the net is because they know they are doing something they shouldn't be doing."
RIGHT. So, the only reason (assuming you don't live in a fascist country) that you would want your freedoms, along the same lines as you just outlined, is if you were a revolutionary trying to overthrow the current government? Else why would you want those freedoms to go where you would, bear arms and whatnot? (insert your favorite rights if those don't apply:P )
heh.. well I'm damn glad it's "losing momentum", in that it's not making every Windows idiot (If it doesn't apply don't apply it)
go out and pay $70USD for a copy of (buggy) RedHat, which then plops them down into something
entirely unfamiliar.. which of course leads to them erasing it, never touching Linux as a whole again, and furthermore badmouthing
it as "garbage" or "hard to use".
I *LIKE* it a bit difficult. I *LIKE* being able to change the very heart of my computer's operating system.
I feel that this shift is unavoidable, and in fact is better for everything. Business use would be unaffected (how many people would pay someone $10 an hour to play against them in some online game?? Ok, how many _sane_ people?:)
Linux went from low-key to Media baby very quickly, it only follows that it would (and should!) return to it's former state, or at least close to it.
I happen to enjoy it more knowing that 1/2 the desktops in the world are NOT using it.. that way I can still say "So, when was your last crash...";)
mm.. rambling. Anyway, I like it quiet, and Linux is quieting down (as far as media hype is concerned) which is damn good in my opinion.
You know, you'd better be careful. Someone might mistake you for a human being.
As for polite conversation, I don't know about you, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt first off, and not make statements like that. Granted, it CAN be taken your way, but only an anal retentive would defend insults like that. I only hope that you are unique to your country, and never EVER reproduce.
I'm not sure what your story is, but get bent. I don't care much. I might have had you come off as even subintelligent, but you went far below that one..
I'll leave you with a saying I picked up, from outside of the US even (bonus!)
Go burn yourself.
Take your own advice asshole. It's a broad bearing statement, undeniably. And I wasn't fishing for an apology, or even an aknowledgement. Merely pointing it out so that next time you can be less offensive. Apparently it's beyond your capabilities to see that. It's sad, really.
BTW, no response to this is solicited, required, desired, wanted, or any other 'ed of it's kind.
If you want to be that much of a fuckwit, do it in your own bedroom, alone.
I kinda resent that one.. what "I" think to the contrary?
Nah, I agree that the US government is fucked up. And I am just as glad as you that they don't have jurisdiction outside of the borders..
Don't make statements like that, please. One might think that you dislike every American citizen as an individual, as opposed to the people who I know who just dislike/distrust the government.
Technically is the important term used by you here.. So technically I could call you an assgrabbing monkeyfucker and it would be perfectly OK. And if it hurt your feelings (or whatever) then that's just too goddamn bad. Moderation is there for a purpose, and it's purpose is to weed out dumb fucks like whoever that other AC was. Feel free to moderate this down, however, as I freely used expletives and tere is a younger agegroup here as well. Just let the message get out first.
I don't have the patience to hold a whole paragraph of 20 words in my mind at once and jumble all of such words in said mind until the damn sentences make any sense whatsoever.
One thing that came to mind reading the first few sentences, and is still causing an intermittent chuckle... The English "t4ranslation" page sounds like it was written by TechnoYoda. *grin*
Okay.. so now I'm a troll? This has little or nothing to do witht he original thread but that does not make it any less worthy of comment. Read and ye shall see...
Am I a troll for using the term "Microshit"? If so, then be advised that it is an expression of personal opinion. I have little to no esteem for any Microsoft products after DOS 6.22.
Am I a troll for pointing out that the most likely reason MS' site comes up on a Navigator search is that they loaded their page(s) with misleading keywords?
Maybe I'm a troll for commenting on Microsoft's demeanor in practices. This is not allegation, no matter what anyone says. You can see what they do to push their products. Granted it *may* not be the end-of-all-things scenario that some paint, but the fact remains they *DO* do some unscrupulous things.
Or maybe I'm just a troll because that particular moderator is defensive of Microsoft. If this is the case, then you might try a bit of objectivity when moderating others' opinions. Tossing my post down a notch out of spite is not exactly cool.
If none of these are correct, then please post why, I am genuinely curious. And don't post AC, I'll simply ignore it. An AC post could be just about anyone couldn't it?
A Metacrawler search for "netscape navigator 4.72" turned up Netscape's own site as the first link, but Microshit's site as the second.. I seem to remember some noise about loading a page with misleading words just to get an engine to list it first... Wasn't it decided that this is bad practice? Oh wait... this is Microsoft we're talking about afterall... silly me.
Heaven forbid the individuals have control over their surroundings. I mean, that wouldn't be democratic would it? We should all be controlled in our daily rituals by big corporations, and the ones who have an individual thought should be dragged off to 'reeducation facilities' to get mind-fscked.
Come on, where did your comment even come from? You speak of the free software advocates/programmers being communistic.. I may be naive but it seems the ideals of those are much more appealing now, and in the foreseeable future than being under the thumb of one gigantic infrastructure that will tell me when to eat, sleep, piss, and copulate.
It's already getting pretty bad, with corporations and governments (yea, I said it:P ) having too much control over the people. If it gets much worse anyone with half a shred of dignity will be among the first to become martyrs, as they will NOT sit idly by and watch as the lives of the individual people get taken over. They will stand up and fight against the mindset you outlined in your post. You, sir, have my sincere pity.
Granted, I have not looked inside a Dell for awhile, but I was referring to their upgradeability not their 'oomph'. From what I know of Compaq systems they are kind of a pain to upgrade beyond a limited point, and I thought Dell was still the same. If I am mistaken, then cheers to Dell.:)
Somebody shoot me.. I was going to get one of those when I first heard about it, but procrastinated and soon forgot about it. I would have loved a free computer, even if it were a dell or compaq... *long sigh*
a petition? Just get everyone to put their 2c (ie 2 lines or less) in on a web page somewhere along with their email address and send ONE email to Blizzard pointing to this UNLISTED web page, and if they need to they can send mail to the individual(s).
It would be a much less spammy, and therefore more effective means of getting the point across.
Don't take this the wrong way.. but if I were your neighbor I'd rewire it "right". (I know, right can be alot of different ways, but for some reason I like mine best;)
Got any URLs to pages with useable (ie complete schematics, documentation.. that kinds of thing)? I'd love to fiddle with cold fusion a bit. Not to mention the looks you'd get..
Some shmuck: "Hey man, how you been?" You: "I'm working on cold fusion at home. So, what have you been up to lately?" *rofl*

My workplace seems to like it. Yes, they are backwards hicks.. their testing software is written in QBasic.

Who needs binaries when we can use such a wonderfully wonderful interpereted language like that?

You own your right hand.
Go play in the middle of a busy intersection, leave posting to people with at least a little of their mind left intact.
They prolly do. I mean, one of them has got to and the AC poster sure doesn't seem like he (it) has what those "girls" have..
I wonder which one wears the dress though.. *shudder*
Ok, so where is the *REAL* English translation?

It was an early Dell Pentium I saw last.. I remember it now. The 486's were much worse than even that though.

Interesting that Compaq is still doing their proprietary thing, at least some things never change, even when they are always changing.
Woah. You should lay off the juice. Seriously.

He could have been speaking opposites... now what's the word for that? :/
Viewed in that light, that comment is worth a chuckle. However if it was intended as written, then he is indeed a troll of no class.

Surprise! He's an adult one too!
He's already been deemed a poser. Let the guy sit and spin on his article.
when someone misuses the term Hacker I simply correct them in the politest way possible.
It usually works.
I paid $50 US for my ESS sound card. It beats the living shit out of my (now gone) SBPRO card.
Wherever you're buying your equipment I'd suggest having a LOOOOONG discussion with them.
