I think Microsoft is scared. they are running from the Linux/Open Source Communinity while trying to figure out how to live by the "if you cant beat em, join em" Business Plan.
20$ says Bill gates will see how bad the TCPA is, and scrap it, like he did with Microsoft Bob.
Or at least I can hope...
(Is this going to be the first on topic post??)
"Hey this application is being run through a firewall, it must be safe"
Thats the problem, if you are going to build applications for the web that are useful, you need to build it so it is Safe to run and you dont have worry the end user about what could happen
That and we need to kill all the script kiddie hackers.....
NO NO NO NO
The last thing we need is President Bush coming in and regulating somthing else, and next thing we know we have a new federal agency created "Computer Certification Awareness Center" and everyone has to be regulated, and watched. and reported. Thats the last fucking thing we need, because we all know Bill Gates would be come chairman of the comitte. and then all hell would break loose and every time we Over CLock a chip or do somthing that isnt the best Idea. We are fucked
so NO on regulation!
*knocking on door*
"Hello"
"Yeah my name is Agent X and this is Agent Y we are from Microsoft's Anti Piracy Unit"
"Well what do you want"
"We Understand you ware watching Back Door Anal Sluts 9 on your parents computer"
"You Guys are fucked up"
"Can We see your computer sir"
(Realizing they had made a mistake while looking over the computer's contents because the man is a Buhdist)
Just proving that nothing is fool proof, and shit happens.
Yeah they could, we all know Microsoft is immoral. But the GPL it's self is all on the trust based system. So therefore realisticly everyone could hide that.
I think that if Microsoft started making GNU app's that they would hide the source.
BUT. again since it is based on the honestly system you know one Linux head at Microsoft will come out and say which ones they used, and then the battle will ensue.
Correct me if i am wrong but the GPL gives you the right to the source code so you can tweak the code to make it work on your own machine.
That being said
If Microsoft decided to use the GPL'ed Libraries (Or any other large Closed Source Code Shop, Yes Oracle and Sun and Novell I am looking at you) wouldnt they be in violation of said License Agreement? Thereby giving the FSF a legal case?
Now if these big companies would use the Libraries and then give the source code for distrobution, it would be easier, and I would look more kindly upon it. But since that will never happen, I can not support this, and will fight against it, and join whomever else is against it.

"Dude some guy from Soviet Russia hacked the Adobe E-book Security"
"No way SCHWEET maybe i should hack microsofts security"
"Uhm you could go to prison"
"So what, if i hack the microsoft code, i will be famous and everyone will want to interview me, plus i will be trated better than a loser Russian"
I think this is the conversation that took place..
Hey man, be original, and do somthign worth while! Like hack the Xbox security feature yo!
Everyone knows that W3c and WIPO and those organizations are micorosoft whores. If they try to ban free software I say we kick Microsoft in the nurts and make a Linux only run network, using nothing but free software.
(I know this not a realistic goal, but hey i can dream eh)
And it is one of the best Linux books i have read. it is really through and in depth. Plus it came with RH 8.0 Cd's! That was the coolest part. How many windows books come with the OS loaded..
It is just to make sure all the PC is adressed and everything is Politically Correct because heaven forbid someone is offended by the government.
It doesnt suprise me, and it shouldnt suprise you, we should be used to the governemtn changing things. I wouldnt be suprised if they change things to make a case for us to go to war.

That the US Government is Stupid. as a Dependednt of 2 Us Navy Officers, I know that tricare sucks. it was who took care of me when I was sick.
They are bass ackward, and one hand doesnt know what the other hand is doing.
You would think the government would do more than just set off a probe (i.e. change Social Security Numbers, etc etc.)
The shit is going to hit the fan, and I feel sorry for the guys when and if they get cought because they will be labeld "Terrorists" and then have to go through that shit.
Remember Kids- People who do things the government doesnt like are now just terrorists.
I am with my Fiance's parents in Idaho Falls, Idaho. We have been up here since last night, when we went to chinese food.
Tonight we are going to see a movie, and then tomrrow I am going to see LOTR II Towers Again.
So far no alcohol. where as @ thanksgiving I had some wine.
I will prolly work on Hogwash and upload the new Apple 802.11b enabled version.
Thats my christmas, now howbout yours!
I am downloading this now, because my Cable Modem is only getting 3.8 K, But from what I have had it works beautifully.
It is nice they used 1.2.1 Instead of 1.2 just because of the fact of the bug.
From what I have heard the Nvidia GLX and Driver Kernel should work better on this release.
So I am crossing my fingers.
Yay for redhat, hopefully giving M icrosoft a run for it's money!
I remember the first time I saw Back to the Future, I wanted to be like Marty Mc Fly. and then I started using computers, and now my parents are scared. And My Wife is Scared for Life!
Good Review by the way
I think that too many people are afraid of the open source movement.
And Mac OS X, while partly open source, is a good intro into what Unix/Linux is all about. I have met alot of people, who are afraid of implementing Linux, but have no problem with Mac OS X.
While widly different, it is nice to have a stable version of linux on my system that all my *nix commands work with (Unlike windows where i have a hard time remembering a Display Directory is DIR and not LS)
I think Mac OS X is going to open the world up to *nix because Apple has done what many people have tried to do, Put a Pretty Face (Aqua) ontop of an Ugly Operating System (BSD).
This is going to help out in the long run especially if they release their I-32 version of the OS.
Dvorak is an Idiot.
He wouldnt know innovation if it ran him over.
This is the man who once said "There is no use for the User Interface that Apple Has, and The Mouse is a waste of Space on the Desk" (This is from a 1984 PC Mag Article)
The man is a nerd, who thinks he knows evertying, but only knows what comes out of Redmond (And I am not talking about Lycoris) Is linux looking too much like Windows?
No but when we start ripping of Microsoft or Apple Code to make our UI look better I will let you know!
That spammers can find in their hearts to help out the Brick and Mortar businesses. All while filling up my inbox! Man I should just sign up for more mailing lists if theats all the spam is.
Actually I wont even buy products that I recived in Spam. It is annoying and it sucks more ass than a chinese crack whore!
I think the reason why the government is making arcane internet laws is because they are scared, nothing has ever been this powerful, to think that I can make my own website and host it for less than one hundered dollars and talk about how George W. Bush the president is a crack whore.
The government is worried more about what someone is going to say, and working on getting them arrested or removed or killed. I personally think the first ammendment right should apply online. But hey, I also think we should end the war on terrorisim and make microsoft go away and let Linux take over.
What are those darned mormons going to come up with next...
First they settle the state, then they have one of their own leave Utah, and then they start a hotel chain, and then now they are offering WIFI, man no one is going to keep them down!!
I think it is a good idea, i like marriot....
How come it is so easy for a thug to make money, but a unemployed software engineer cant do it?
Why is that? Does crime take a special function in the brain? is it like a complicated SQL database? If so I wanna program it so I can make money! it isnt fair!!
Anyways thats my rant..
You know, at least most of you are fsckin employed, I myself am unemployed, i have been for a year. If you want to whine some morew about not getting your fscking christmas bonus I will take your job
Ok that feels Better
and in the words of Mr. Garrison
"Merry Fucking Christmas":-)
The RIAA will use anything to say someone is pirating, i bet you in a year or so, they will try to remove the "fair use" stipulation in the DMCA. Which is a bunch of crap.
Hey Hillary Rosen:
I am not buying CD"s because none of the Music I want to buy is worth paying your high prices. Plus none of the artists I listen to are members of the RIAA and Neither are their Labels, I am sorry if I am cutting into your Corporate Pay check, but if you had music worth listening to, maybe then I will buy CD's/
