    you need to re-read it.
    what about the case of the guy who wanted a 4-second clip of the simpsons on the background? what about the guy who lost all his money because he improved a search engine in his university? what about having an archive of our culture, legally?
    what's right(tm) about making 1/3 of the population criminal/pirate/terrorrist/communist?
    what about the industries contracts? what about clearchannel? what about sampling? what about lost tv content (check the fires at the bbc)? what about scientology?
    seriously, it's broken.

    and some of was don't want to make movies or music either. you were being way too pedantic. yes, the mac is nice now, but it isn't perfect either.
    i hate mac haters and i hate mac fanboys. i'm sick of /. discussions on it because everyone exaggerates their point to oblivion.
    BTW, don't have mac, i've only seen one, and if i worked and got paid what an american gets, i'd probably buy one. i just have to go to the basement to study now... ;)

  10. Re:I see lots of claims, but no specifics. on LinuxWorld Response to 'How to Kill Linux' · · Score: 1

    Asus M6N and M6Ne series.

    Acpi on the BIOS is borked, so it needs a patch to the kernel.
    no software sound mixing by default. (not sure i got it right either)
    no suspend (when i bought it, new kernels work well. except s4, which doesn't work very well).
    ipw2200, so it needs drivers+firmware.
    of course, ati drivers. which prevent suspend.

    worst part of it, distros flop when installing. it's a problem with ACPI or APM or APIC or whatever. the process just freezes, no indication whatsoever to the problem.

    sad, but true. love linux, though, and i'm running Gentoo on the laptop :)

  15. Re:Since When...? on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1

    fine, i overstated. all the guy said (to my understanding) was that you can't just group different things in "intelectual property" like they all have the same laws applying to them when there's different reasons and scope in their existence.
    and, of course, comparing temporary ideia monopolies, which are not natural, to actual, tangible property creates the problem of thinking they're both instrinsic.

    you know what? re-reading it, i admit i was pissed off because i misread what you said and it looked a lot more offensive. my bad.

    ask Microsoft if LDAP or the BSD TCP/IP stack isn't essencial for them. Since it's used in every single network program, i'd guess it is. Or Kerberos.

    ask a publisher how good tex is. i don't know how much it's used right now, but it was a very nice revolution at the time. it was pretty much random at that time.

    anyway... i would submit to you that we're not ripping out content industries, they're ripping us a lot more, and of a basic right called a Free Culture. Unfortunatly, it's not coded anyware, but for anyone who thinks about it, it's the logical conclusion.
    honestly, do you even try to read "The Right to Read" or "Free Culture"? Sharing is human and essencial for our well-being and development, and a little(!) copying hust noone for thousands of years. This crap is one century old, and we don't like it. They broke the social contract that is copyright.
