Yes but how do generate the revenue you need to continue making the programme. There will be costs that need to be covered if want to make a programme of any quality.
Yes but when we are talking about internet broadcasting every bit bites into your wallet.
Here in australia we don't have access to cable the same way you do in the states. As far as I am aware there is no legislation saying our local cable companies have to provide public access
I'm sorry but I had a major flash of the Latin Lecture scene from the Life Of Brian - "Right now write it out a hundred times or I'll cut your balls off".
Okay Linus, use to code a lot, however with the size of the kernel now it just wouldn't be feasible.
I'm pretty sure that Linus has enough technical knowledge in a lot of areas within the kernel to say what goes and what doesn't, also keep in mind that he has a group of sub project maintainers whos job it is to look after specific areas.
Yes because we here in Australia are well known for our lederhosen and for having once ruled most of Europe through the Hapsburgs and the Aussie-Hungarian Empire.
All of the reading that you do, all of the browsing news sites and different news sources that you do is a waste if you are not prepared to have your say on the way that you want your country run. I am always amazed at people who want to change the system and complain loudly about the injustices being perpertrated by the current government, then refuse to excercise the only voice they have that means anything.
Where I live we have compulsory voting. You don't vote, then you get fined. This ensures that people at least have a glance at what the different parties are offering and while we have two major parties we also have a lot of different smaller parties representing all different views, from radical greens through the spectrum to the fundamentalist christians.
As to Linux, fine you don't like Linux big deal, find something that you do like and contribute to that. Believe or not there are other OS designs out there other than the Unix way.
On your last comment - all the bitching and moaning in the world is not going to get you anywhere unless you can offer an alternative. You don't like the current political system, fine show people something better, don't like the way Linux is designed and built, then find something that you consider to be better and champion that. People who only bitch and moan without offering an alternative very quickly get pushed aside as loud mouths with no credibility.
Believe it or not I am not attacking you personally, I am just really tired of people who complain about this and that and then don't offer anything different because its too hard or inconvenient. if you believe in something passionately enough there should be an alternative
I'm sorry but people who vote have more of a right to complain because they actually participated, as opposed to those who didn't because those who didn't cannot say, this is not what I voted for. By not voting, you are saying fine do whatever you want I couldn't give a shit, basically giving carte blanche to whoever wins.
On the OS side, fine you paid for a couple of distros and yes that does give you every right to complain. However, if all you are going to do is bitch and complain and not contribute constructivly to the industry through either suggestions, ideas, code whatever then nobody is really going to pay attention to you and you are going to be stuck bitching and moaning.
People not liking something and building their own is what has led to the explosion in both Open and Closed source software available. If everyone bitched and moaned and sat on their hands then we'ld be stuck with vacuum tubes and punch cards.
Stop complaining so much for a start. If you aren't willing to either contribute in any way to an existing project, or head out on your own with your vision of Operating System glory then really stop complaining.
If you don't like the Unix way of doing things, then build something you would like to see, or maybe even put together a paper on your idea and share it around, you might find that others take it up. Then again you might not.
I guess its sort of like voting in the states, those that don't vote/contribute to the decision making process(however flawed it is) are often the first to complain.
Well off you go then, let us know how it works out.
Seriously, if all the people who demanded an easy to use yet just as powerful linux distro while slagging off the rest as being too hard/a big pain in the arse actually sat down and tried to build what they wanted, we could have it by now.
This is the joy of OS, if you don't like what the other guy is doing, take it in a new direction.
But really this is only one level of redundancy, the backup system. Relying on the technician to reboot the system every month or so maually is just asking for trouble. An automated system backed up by the technician and then the backup system would be three levels of redundancy.
Yes but the procedure was flawed. In an operation as vital Aircraft control there should be at least three levels of redundancy, where one mistake does not bring down an entire operation.
First off, Star Wars is Sci-Fi in the same way that most John Wayne war films are true depictions of the Second World War.
Secondly, most geeks are into Sci-Fi because it allows us to have a look at different ideas about technology and the human race, from the thoughtful Asimov to the grittier Hienlien and on.
But assuming all geeks are into Sci-Fi is like assuming all Republicans are the christian version of the Taliban, many are but not all.
Do the networks make large assumptions about the vote split based on a small sample of people that really don't care who knows how they voted??
In a word, yes. That is exactly what they do. They grab a random sample of people from each booth and ask how they voted, they then make a guess based on those who answered.
But you are in the US military and you have to obey your officers period.
Thus voting against your Commander in Chief *should* get you in court!
I'm sorry but since when does volunteering to defend your country equate to losing out on your basic rights?
No one has the right to take away your right to have your say on who runs your country unless you severly fuckup. Unless of course you are saying that the military is full of violent criminals and psychopaths who would have their vote denied to them on those grounds.
When the company is directly involved in the voting process yes it is a terrible thing. At all times impartiality and the appearance of impartiality must be maintained.
This is the same reason why allowing election officials to be directly selected by the incumbant party is insane.

No his goal is to sell more MS products to the world, and he will do/say anything he can to achieve that aim.
Ballmer is head Marketer at MS nothing more. He may be plugged into the company but that sure as hell doesn't mean he is plugged into the real world. A world where stupid coding decisions can allow script kiddies to run riot through your system and the patch takes six months because MS doesn't want to admit it made a mistake.

Hows about you try something like Webmin great way to manage most aspects of your system.
I was taking the libertarian argument to its logical conclusion, that the Government shouldn't fund anything and that it should be an "I'm alright thanks Jack, so bugger off" world.
Personally I believe that Libraries should be funded from the public purse, certainly to a greater extent than they are now. Whereas the armed forces should be streamlined with useless expenditure cut from their budgets and put into provding the people with the widest range of information possible.

Given that the NSA is American there is a good chance they think Sydney is in Austria and bomb vienna instead.
Sheesh

I think one big hurdle to this sort of thing would be how do you cover you're costs.
Producing even a basic news show still costs money, even if all the people running it are volunteers.
And of course there was "Don't Panic, Don't Panic!!" and "Put that light out"
Sigh I'ld be showing my age if I wasn't 27.
I think I speak for a majority of people when I say "HOW THE FUCK IS THIS EVEN CONSIDERED PATENTABLE????"
It's a licence for shits sake. Not a thing, an object, its a fucking business revenue model.
Ahh fuck it I give up
How is this the linux communities problem again?
Installing an OS on a system no more facilitates pirating that having a blank disk ready to roll.
Sheesh next thing you know Linux will be blamed for all the dead kittens in the world.
I think he's refering to this
No not the counterwieght continent, more around the lost continent of XXXX.
