I think this patent buissness sounds somewhat strange.
Patenting software is patenting a problem, and it's solution.... then it should be possible to patent opening doors?
I mean:
Problem! The door is closed.
Solution! Open it!
Then if someone were to patent the actually door-knob turning process, technically everybody would be sued. o.O
Another sick thing is the patenting of genes,
I mean, everybody got genes, and only one company is allowed to research in several of them.
So they can sue me if i start to study my own frickin GENES? i mean OMG!
That can't be possible!
What's next?
Someone gets a patent on seeing?
Or hearing?
Actually, using linux on a non-keyboard device could lead to some difficulties,
If you, for an instance, run into problems on an ordinary PC, you simply CtrlAltF[123456] into terminal mode and kill the troubling application.
But what if you run into this problem on a PDA?
My opinion is that linux is not linux without a proper keyboard.
Its sad...
I mean, its a really good idea...
you dont actually *need* to put up with the simplicity needed by a person who calls support to turn on the screen using that method (how on EARTH did these persons manage to install linux?)
Goddamn userfriendlyness sux, i think the world should go back to the stage of apps like 'vi' and 'ed'...
The second thing i hate is them sounds...
What do they think an OS is?
Some kind of elevator? Playing brain-dead music parts when u start it!
And the worst part is those "Are u really really really really really really really really really really really really really really sure you want to quit?
if you are not, please visit www.microsoft.com/newbie/i_dont_get_a_thing/im_bra indead/i_was_born_yestaday/HEELP.htm to get support" ish messages...
I mean, where are we advanced ppl going to go?
Even linux is starting to get user-friendly...
My nightmare vision (in 5 years):
"Kernel compile blaha.blah-bla
Are really really really really [you know the drill] really sure you want to compile?
If not, please dial 01-800-BILL-GATES for support"
Is it really that bad?
i mean, would'nt it be a good idea to teach the other generations how the tech generation speak?
It's netscape who is comming with AIM, and Lindows comming with NS, not Lindows comming with AIM.
