i've been hearing about dselect for months, but i never even saw it running... anyway, whatever it is, debian is working on replacing it. and apt is easy to use, just two or 3 commands necessary. of course, it's much simpler with the GUI, and for that there is synaptic and kpackage.
a (female) colleague studying informatic (computer engenering? no one knows how to translate this) was loaded with this crap and got amazed at me for telling her about spybot.
WTF? What the hell? I really must say most people i meet taking the degree have no clue.
and why is the tecnical point the only one that matters? what about freedom? don't tell me it's only an ideology, people are tired of closed formats and stupid licences.
well, i don't know the details since i don't live in the us. it is not what i heard that that was where they were going, with health cuts and high unemployment. however, the point is that money is power. while a little bit doesn't hurt the system, current copyright laws are laughably rediculous. come on! and the DMCA? that's defending who, again? i'm not discussing wether it is a demoocracy or a republic or a plutocracy or whatever, as that issue is mainly philosophical. however, it is clear that money does have to much influence in lawmaking.
WMD: Saddam's nephew, the guy who defected and spilled everything in 1998, clearly stated that iraq's programs and weapons had been dismantled. inspectors found nothing. people were dying of hunger. also, i find it hard to believe that even if they had them that they should be america's major concern, taking in account that the freaking 911 pilots were saudis.
look, i'm not happy about terrorrism, or against attacks against any nation. but i also don't like people telling lies and obfuscating reality. "Either you're with us or you're with the terrorrists" - WTF? i would have to agree if you wanted to torture every last muslim?
oh, about gonverment types... what matters is freedom, right? aren't you seeing americans being less free? that's my whole issue with the USA, most americans don't even understand what freedom is!
The influence of wealth on governance can be expressed either via the wealthy classes directly governing, or (more typically) by the wealthy classes using money to control the government.

fine, if the usa doens't want to protect the fucking world, stop saying that it is. then i wouldn't have cared if iraq had WMD, because they wouldn't be pointed at me anyway. but, saying the the american way is the only way, and changing opinions on a whim makes everyone hate american policy. oh yeah, and lying through your teeth. if you want to be the shining light of democracy and freedom, start acting like one. you might want to have a look at what's going inside first, because that's a freakin' plutocracy. whooops...
bush is an asshole, period. the current administration is fucking americans so hard it isn't funny anymore. and still they love them...
and the us follows treaties to their spirit? come on... my only problem with is that US politics and propagandists tend to say "how great the us are, we all value all life and freedom" when that is clearly not the case. seriuosly, if the us fought with a hand behind their backs they would be praised instead of hated as they are now. anti-americanism has never been so high, mainly because of bush showing that politicians don't care about anyone else.

interessting, any links? please? ;)
and still no WMD found on iraq.
all you are asking is a little window to paste repository links, but the underlying system is good and already there...
of course it can be done, there is synaptic and kpackage which are very nice. :P
about commercial software, you're welcome to give it a try

Free software is not about popularity, it's about standing up for freedom. And it will always be.

Thank you!
that looks like nothing but security trouble...
alas, he has a point. at least in what concerns how people talk about linux, and how to solve stuff.
and why is the tecnical point the only one that matters? what about freedom?
don't tell me it's only an ideology, people are tired of closed formats and stupid licences.
wow, that's full of spelling and grammar errors, 8O...

i'd refrase it as giving them some easy propaganda to spread.
however, don't neglect the fact that most of the world doesn't like american culture being force fed.

There was no scare factor. However, there was the truth factor. We were told the truth.
