Now, the trick will be working it into my fresh install of Suse 9.0 Pro.
I just shed my training wheels the other day (Mandrake for 18 months) and am now moving forward with my continuing education in REAL operating systems.
Hey, Mandrake is a great system but I had to move on, I was stagnated almost into "click-n-drool" like I was on M$..
This will be my big test. Pray for me brothers, I'm gonna need it!
"They have been studying Linux extensively. Part of their study has been on how Linux has been able to maintain a high level of consistency in the kernel while groups around it maintain maximum flexibility,".
It's because the Linux kernel is under the control of (no offense) a dictator, where as the MS kernel is under the control of a bureaucracy..
Really, how many people are watching foreign DVD's??
I think it would be more noteable if they were to remove Macrovision that region coding.
I know a lot of people that have OLD TV sets that have no other choice than to plug the DVD player into the VCR then run the RF out of the VCR into the TV on Ch3 or Ch4..
Macrovision makes for a very, very poor viewing experiance in the above scenario. These folks are older folks that are not going to run out and buy new TV sets to use the cheap DVD players they received as gifts..
I say DEATH to Macrovision and who really cares about region coding..
BTW, and this is preaching to the choir, but we all know that anyone with a PC can go to block buster, rent a DVD and do whatever the hell they want with it. Copy protection is a failed experiment. Get rid of it and let's improve the picture quality. It's the right thing to do.
More stuff to crack! Never a boring day, is there?
Really though, if it weren't for all this cat and mouse shit, all these parasite companies wouldn't exist and all the crackers would have to get a real life...
Now they know, in advance about these stories and these dinky sites getting slammed.
Why don't they mirror these little sites on the awesome OSDN system ahead of the rush?
Shit, within seconds of release the sites are out of order and the entire story is for naught and NO ONE gets to see what it's all about. Quite often the site exceeds it's bandwidth allocation and is taken offline by the ISP for the remainder of the month.
By the time this site will be viewable again, Walgreens will have pulled the camera from the shelves..
I'm all for hunting down and arresting kiddy porn "people" (if you can even call them people) because what they do is wrong and sick and illegal in every civilized country on earth, thank God.
However, tough shit on everything else. I don't like all the porn on the Internet any more than most normal people but it's not illegal. It ought to be illegal to make it available to children though and those that do allow children access to porno should be hunted down and arrested and spend a Looooooooooooooong time in prison.
And if people want to call other people "bad names", tough shit on that too. I get called shit every day. Every single day I get called "honkey" "cracker" "peckerwood" "white-ass mutha fuka" and countless other "bad names" and guess what? I don't care. It doesn't bother me. I just look at them and walk on. I could kick them in the nuts but I just don't care enough to get in a fight over words. I don't even call them anything back. I have before, and they went crazy. Like it's OK for them to diss me for my race but I can't say anything back.. Yeah, that's fair, right??
Anyway, tough shit on the naught words and hateful words. If people want to call each other cracker and nigger, so what, it goes on everyday, everywhere and no one can stop it but the people calling the names.
When people are better educated and act like civilized human beings then they are less likely to engage in "hate speech" or react to it.
The world doesn't need a nanny. We are adults and we should control our own actions. There should be moral standards (there used to be, once upon a time) and laws to punish those that can't control theirselves.
A man with high moral standards can govern his own affairs without laws or threats of punishments. Most people in the world are seriously morally lacking. We can thank the Electric Toilet (TV) for that.
Now, as for TC and DRM, fuck that. I won't use any TC or DRM enabled hardware or software. I can see an underground industry in the coming that will provide "FREE" (as in speech, not beer) hardware and software for dissidents. I can see an Internet inside the Internet, an encrypted VPN of dissidents.
Yeah, it's going to get real interesting. I hope that it never happens but I'm afraid that it's coming right at us like a freight train.
This is one of the MANY reasons that the UN has to go. They are E.V.I.L. (TM)
Saddam was not a Fascist, he was a Communist. His personal Hero was Stalin. Saddam read all of Stalins works, had photos and paintings of Stalin and modeled his dictatorship after Stalin's.
Despite the fact that Saddam was a brutal bastard, the US had no business invading, overthrowing and occupying Iraq. There are no WMD's, there were no WMD's and there are none to find. The US waged war on Iraq illegaly and without justification. The US had no right to wage war on Iraq.
And the UN should not be in any business, at all. They are a fraudulent waste of time, effort and TAX PAYERS MONEY. They bilk member nations out of TAX PAYER DOLLARS for "membership dues" that goes to fuel the washed up carpet baggers beaurocratic nonsense machine.
The UN should be disbanded, the members ejected from US soil with a foot up the ass as they get on the plane and the building bulldozed to dirt level and trees planted in it's place.
The UN serves no useful purpose. They can't even get food to the starving, despite the fact they have armored carriers, machine guns, tanks, planes, etc.. They are limp wristed pansies that can't fight their way out of a cat fight...
My ex wife can stop laser and flashlight beams (pointed at her face) and peel paint off a battleship at 1,000 yards since she let her self go and quit wearing makeup.
I've been trying to get a patent on her technique but Darl's other brother, Darl, has been claiming prior art because she looked a box of redhat once on a shelf.
if you allow other people to have control over your finances.
When you give a company your bank account number and tell them, "Ok, just charge my account whenever your computer decides that I need to be charged" you are setting yourself up for trouble.
These people are theives and they will steal from you, penny by penny until they drain your life blood away.
When I walk in the store and take something from the shelf, plop it down at the check out and pay for it with GREEN CASH, ** --> I -- ** control my finances and there is no fear of being over charged or having bogus charges billed to me.
I live by cash alone. Everything I own is totally paid for. I pay only utility bills and I pay them with cash at the store. If I need something, I buy it at the store, with cash. I don't get in over my head. I don't have ANY bank accounts and don't borrow or OWE anyone any money for any thing.
I can't be nickle and dimed to death on a credit card account because I don't have one. I don't have ANY bank accounts, at all. I don't have to worry about someone hijacking my identity because I don't have one.
wether it is or not is not depends on the laws of the country in question on a country by country basis. There is NO international law prohibiting "hate speech" and no international organisation has the authority to claim that such a law exists and has no authority to enforce any such preceived "law"..
The point is, the UN has declared, by it's own magic spell that it can regulate speech in sovereign countries and can "arrest" and imprision people under such magical authority.
The UN has no LEGAL authority to make laws ANYWHERE ON EARTH and has no LEGAL authority to "enforce" or impose "laws" or restrictions on anyone, anywhere, under any conditions for any reason.
They didn't capture Milosevic, they kidnapped him from his own country, a sovereign country at that, and are unlawfully imprisioning him against his will in a foreign country, on trial in a kangaroo court that has no legal authority over anyone, and is facing a lifetime of unlawful imprisionment by a foreign body in a foreign country.
The whole thing is unlawful and illegal. You may hate Milosevic but that's no excuse for what the UN is doing to him. They have no legal authority other than the authority they delegate to themselves. They back it up with the unlawful UN enforcement agency, NATO and the lame threats of have UN peacekeepers invading.
The UN is a criminal and unlawful organisation and should be disbanded forever.
BTW, I have no love for Milosevic, I DESPISE communists but I DESPISE the UN far more..
Sure. You're right. But that didn't stop them from kidnapping Milosovic and putting him on trial.
The UN thinks they are the rightful rulers of the big blue marble. They think that they are right and that everyone else is wrong and that they make the rules that everyone else must abide by. NATO is the enforcement arm of the UN.
They'll do as they please. The NEW WORLD ORDER is what they are about.
The rest of the world is P.I.S.S.E.D. at the level of free speech exercised on US based servers and they seek to stop it at all costs.
The US has the most liberal speech laws in the world and the rest of the world can not allow that.
You watch and see, they'll institute international tribunals to arrest speech violaters (thought criminals) and whisk them away to The Hague for a trial by tribunal and internatinal justice for thought crimes...

They get cold as hell, are much cheaper, more effecient, much quieter, much safer, less moving thingys to go boink.

you lose the damn thing, or it gets stolen, then your fscked, royally.
It takes much more effort to lose your wallet or get it stolen than to lose a cell phone that would replace your wallet.
Not only will they leave you with a huge phone bill, they'll buy all sorts of crap and charge it to you.

Kill *ALL* the lawyers....
More not cheap - cheap shit...
I have a HERF gun that will fix this...

VOIP over DSL...
Who would have ever thunk it?
I walk into the cable company each month and pay the teller wish green cash.
Job? What's that?? No, really, I am self employed. Taxes? Walk into the tax office and pay cash.
Cash. It's what people USED to do..
Excellent post (parent)....

No, I'm *NOT* defending these people.
I'm simply pointing out that the UN has decided to appoint itself as the arbiter of speech rights.
wether it is or not is not depends on the laws of the country in question on a country by country basis. There is NO international law prohibiting "hate speech" and no international organisation has the authority to claim that such a law exists and has no authority to enforce any such preceived "law"..

Well, the UN has just ruled that "hateful words" are the equivilent of genocide.8 17-3449r.htm
Read it here:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/world/20031203-113
The men who spoke the "hateful words" will spend the rest of thier lives in prison for speaking "hateful words"..
Actually, I thought my Tin Foil Hat would cloak me from the Black Helicopter dissident scanners..
Sure. You're right. But that didn't stop them from kidnapping Milosovic and putting him on trial.
The UN thinks they are the rightful rulers of the big blue marble. They think that they are right and that everyone else is wrong and that they make the rules that everyone else must abide by. NATO is the enforcement arm of the UN.
They'll do as they please. The NEW WORLD ORDER is what they are about.
will be free speech. You mark my words in stone.
The rest of the world is P.I.S.S.E.D. at the level of free speech exercised on US based servers and they seek to stop it at all costs.
The US has the most liberal speech laws in the world and the rest of the world can not allow that.

think of Microsoft and trailer hitches..
They both have something in common..
