    What you mean is Microsoft put him in a position to either settle or be bankrupted.

    That is how these things work.

    Everything you do is a risk, sometimes the trade off is worth it sometimes it is not. When you have a workstation available no need to risk the server.

    Joe Sixpack has malware on his PC all the damn time.

    How can a non-unique domain name exist?
    They have to be unique, you can't have two slashdot.org it would not work.

    Property rights here are simple, they own the property ronpaul.com. Can't get any simpler.

    So do you have your own repos or use DAG or what?

    How do you solve the Redhat repos are depressingly small problem?

  7. Re:Why would you need a web browser on a server? on RHEL 6 No Longer Supported By Google Chrome · · Score: 2

    That the repos have more than a couple packages in it. I use RHEL for servers, getting lots of common linux packages on them is a huge PITA. I get that Redhat wants to limit what they have to support, but it still sucks.

    If you are doing that from a server you should be fired or at the very least a written reprimand should be issued.

    Use google from your workstation not the server.

    RHEL is FREE but not Free.
    Updates cost money. Also Chrome is built from Chromium which is FREE and Free.

    Then use Debian. Solves both problems.

    Why would you be running RHEL on something that you use to browse the web?

    Either it is a server and does not have X installed or it is a desktop and RHEL would be a PITA since it has so little software in the repos.

    You don't need a web browser on something that won't even have X installed.

    RHEL is for servers, you could use it on a workstation , but fedora is better suited to that task.

    No, they got that domain name in the decision GP was referring too. They have been directing to their website ever since.

    What you mean is he wants to use force to make someone give him their property.

    I disagree with the MikeRoweSoft.com thing even more. It was clearly nothing like microsoft.com. Anyone who would be confused by that would be too stupid to type.

    He liked smaller government when it was going to advance the things he liked. That was it.

    So you believe his name is unique?
    No one else has that name on Earth?

    What if I want to make a website about how he is a hypocrite? Why can I not buy ronpaul.com and make that my site about his hypocrisy?

    How about instead of more regulation we simply let the free market solve this?

    Why is this modded down?
    This is the absolute truth. He likes the free market until it impacts him. If he does not like the price he is free to not buy this product, but instead he wants some outside actor to force this person to give up their property.

    This is pretty common from what I see of libertarians.

    You can post it to piratebay for all I care. There is no need to collect a fee, this is again a want not a need. If you do want that then the price of the book is up to a couple cents per for every copy after the first one.

    No you don't. Post the first copy online and take your machines down.

    If you want to sell DRMed books, then you need that other crap. Even then though books have a cost of a few cents. So surely they are not being sold below that.

    The first one costs something, the rest are copies that can be done for nothing.

    I just put shelves up for my books, as for the number i have book cases were too expensive. I pretty much either have to switch to ebooks or give up having any wall space not covered by books.

    Gasoline has to be transported as well.

    Even if all electric power is coal it is still cleaner than an ICE car since that power plant is more efficient and has better scrubbers.
