Given your example, despite my huge intellect, no matter how much I studied I would still not have the skills of composition and form of Rembrandt or Michaelangelo. I'm sure, however, that I could be a quite accomplished painter but I don't have the genius for it that these men do.
You've just proven his point. You HAVE a mental block. You have given up before even starting.
I'm not sure there is a way out of this alley. If you read the article you must have noticed that the String Priests, I mean Theorists are changing the very defenition of natural science - a theory no longer needs to be falsefiable (an objective thing), instead it merely has to be 'beautiful'
This is just too suspicious, and frankly it has "Mossad" written all over it. Now, who could have ordered the elimination of one of the topmost leaders of the Free Software community?
You said it yourself. They are paying to get a prestigious diploma, a piece of paper, not knowledge. If only knowledge was required then they could'v got it for a few dollars from library books
It should be revoked and their research discredited. Just like nazi death-doctors research
If you like you are free to voluneteer for visual cortex experiments. The whole point that those kidnapped primates werent.
What you like this kind of research performed on you? I'm pretty sure the primates weren't enjoying what he was putting them through. We have to reject knowledge obtained by unethical means just as we rejected Nazi deathcamp research.
Actually, every time an article on this topic comes up there is a FLOOD of high-ranking comments similar to yours. And every time the response is the same. RTFM! At least try to follow the links, read the wiki, get up to speed before participating in the discussion.
These machines are not going to be shipped to the poorest countries controlled by warlords. Brasil is not controlled by warlords and neither is Egypt and many other developing countries. People theier are not dying en masse of starvation. They have a large middle class and an underclass that can benifit from these laptops.
The other fallacy is that ones government first have to solve every other problem before attempting to educate the population. I've been to real third world countries and kids their still enjoy playing football> watching tv and playing cheap consoles youv probably never heard of even if they dont have a nutricous meal three times a day.
I'm absolutely sure they will immenesly enjoy playing and learning with these machines.
What are you a frenchman? You must have been bullied through your ass in high-school with such attitudes, probably just stood there while being punched in the face every day for years , being happy to be home alive with your mummy? Am I right? Be a real man, it's better to die than live on your knees.
What will you do if you internal God tells you to go kill some people? And seriously, I think you perfectly exemplify why one should never argue with believers, their views are not based on logic or reality but on a deep seated desire to believe. Have you tried psucho-analysis, there could be something in your childhood that pushed you towards this path.
But that was a top of the line PC compatible back then. 386 was still king. Top of the line PC I want today still costs $3000. The good thing I can cut some costs by using a decent free OS if I choose to assemble it myself.
You are very naive if you think that how games spread. Most "gitst-copies" are stolen by store employees. Many are proffesionally on the payroll by the organized pirate rings.
You do realise that the only way to change this is not to engage in the cat-n-mouse game of "piracy" with the media cartels but to create original public domain works of art yourself? Go ahead, create, a lot of tools are availible to any ordinnary citizen.
Simple. You can have 1000 to the n degree husbands. There are only two parents who gave birth to you in pain, raised you and for you , provided to you. To compare their will and rights to the one of a easily replacable husband is laughable. Especially the one that had been cohabiting with another woman and even had children with you while refusing to relinquish control over your daughter. If it happend to me I would kill the bastard.
I'm really afraid of people like you. I have made numerous comments that in nocase I would want to be disconnected, "let go peacefully", etc. But judging from their repsonses I'm afraid that when time comes they will lie and say that i didnt want to live like that and expressed wisshes opposite to my real ones. I believe that everyone should be required by law to make a statement on their wishes and not bet their life on otjher peoples moral judgements.
There is a shitload of hardware that doesnt work with XP and no chance of it working with Vista. I'm not gonna dump my pefectly working Primax scanner just because it is 7 years old. And my Pentium 166mx is just as useful for editing Tex code with xemacs as it was almost 10 years ago. Linux supports all of my devices, thank God for it or I would be stuck with Windows 98.

That's nice. Do you practice Death Yoga by any chance?
So maybe he didnt have time to study a theoretical law book. He just needeed quick practical answers, something like a "for dummies" book.
He is over 100K in debt. I'm not sure he can even afford a lawer.
You forgot about hungarian and finnish. Neither is indo-european.
He could get a CS degree...that would guarantee him a good life.. oh, wait...

Please help!!! I was kidnapped by Moodie-1 20 years ago and forced to port Linux to his collection of obsolete computers!

Hitler would be the perfect role model if it weren't for some of his less savoury feats. And Hamas sure gives a lot to charity!

Then stop calling it a notebook computer. There is another word for it. It's called 'luggable' computer.

I wouldntgive it point #1. Approaching child birth as a desease that should be treated at the hospital is wrong and is entirely a Western invention.
