they won the pissing contest???
maybe you should consider that the capitalism "won" not just because it is better or "good"
that does not mean i favor dictatorship
which sowjet russia had been back there (another cause)
and i don't know what the US had to rebuild after the war(advantage #3, maybe it should be #1)
just a few "anythings" it has to do with
more relevant to this topic is that the swiss people (neutral (i think only death are from missguided american bombs (ok night was dark back then) and execution of deserters/traitors) -> ready for bashing =) can download music for free (sentencefree) too
i think we are somewhat more restrictive with upload(there is no judgment to p2p upload specifically) but the law says something about illegal if the only cause to store the files is upload but all you pay is a few hundred bucks monetary fine but no compensation
ok.... i know my sentences are totally overloaded.. but i need some sleep......
yes with some release I did
all the windows where default maximised after i maximised one and the only way i saw was to edit prefs.js (i believe it has been that file)
IMHO i would like to know the players which can play those discs
they should have to delivere a list of those players on every cd (or better not cd) case
shift key???
WHAT's that???
i natively speak german which is very "case sensitive":p and this sort of "C(c???=)apitalism" just sucks
imho capitals don't help very much for comprehension so i let em away
in addition i think is a free place (at least for spelling) and it isn't asked too much just to jump over my comment if you don't like my spelling
btw orthography had always been a open standart which changed with time and differed from place to place
i had been using windows a few years (all the stuff from 98 to xp)
i never updated my system (windows update), never used a anti virus software and had maybe 1 virus for about 4 years
i avoided email attachments but i downloaded shareware and warez usw. but i almost never had a problem
maybe 1 years ago i started to use linux on regular basis but most of time i had a windows install i used for games
i bought a new pc and reinstalled windows on it because i wanted to play some games which don't run under linux
because i read about MSBlaster/lovesun the first thing i tried to do after install was a windows update
but my system was unable to contact microsoft.com
i had no chance to update before i was infected
imho this is not acceptable microsoft should provide fixed cd images for their software on their website or send fixed cds to their customers or at least make the software save enough that the customers have a chance to update the system befor they get hit after install
i think writing viruses is not a crime
testing them isn't a crime too
i think you have to release them to cause any damage
or is there some stupid new law that looks at viruses like bombs
is a virus now classified as a illegal weapon (of mass destruction)???
i think that it is a problem if you copy the windows guy for users used to windows
most user will think "Ohh, this looks like windows, so it has to work like windows!" like on a cd player or a vcr all the buttons look same
and i think may will get angry if it does not
if the UI clearly differs from the windows the user will realise "Ohhh, this is something else, maybe i should make the tutorial that pops up, or look at some documentation!!"
i think a move away from windows would be a real chance to change and improve the UI dramatical
we should not keep things because users are used to them but because they are the easiest way to do the job
i think it's a clear +5 Stupid:p
with pirating you support software standarts and you are not supporting any alternative solutions
if you want to hurt them really go to the competitor or what ever =))
but how can you get a fair treatment if you can't enforce your rights or defend them?
at least without a huge sum of money
i think the laws are more complex then they need to be
just for example the german tax law
even the publisher writing the books complain about that they are not able to understand the the law as whole or would be able append it with all its complexity
i agree the laws mostly makes sense (at least for the side which added something to the law) if you go through step by step
who has the resource to do that??
maybe we should just throw over all the laws and start new worldwide
like everybody does with windows:p
i don't see any sense in laws that are so complex I (or another normal IANAL) isn't able to understand
people have to understand the law to follow it
or it is a question of time only lawyers and rich peoples (which are able to have a lawyer all around) can live legally
i am pro regulation but still against stupid laws
GPL is not a EULA
i think you know that but it may be missleading someone doesn't know it
GPL is a licence for redistribution which most EULA's prohibit
you can modify all GPL'ed code you can get your hands on without releasing the source as long as you don't distribute it
(all) EULA's are legally irrelevant
at least in Switzerland they are because you have to agree on something you can't read before you buy the product
i think it is same in US, at least when the shop refuses to take the opened package back
i personally don't know of a shop taking software back without bigger problems
if there where... everybody would go there buy software or games, burn them and return the software because they disagree with the licence and i am quite sure i would know that =))))
they want to be able to blame future losses on filesharing so their blaming something else.
am I the only one smelling something fishy in our o-so-well working capitalism system???
i am not exactly sure what kind of apps you use
maybe solitaire???
na.. be serious
3d apps can take down your system easily
what about a folder of mp3's killing the explorer and windows completly everytime by just open the folder even over network from a other windows box with same windows version installed (btw taking down the box you open the folder from not the one serving it)
be happy windows bugs are so common i try to forget the fast once they are no longer affecting me (z.b. deleting the mp3 folder, moving or copy did not help and yeah they where all mp3 files not some bs.. i listened to them all in winamp or from my linux without problems):p
espn.com
thisespn.com???
i would say it is 100 % their fault
their os shipped with their browser
that crashed with a pluggin (flash) they included(??)
on their website (or is this msn stuff unrelated to Ms?)
with a flash animation they have chosen to provide
it could only be worse if they decided to set the page as default Home page in IE when you install the os

hmm
this is kind of strange to me
vote for a bug???
but maybe in the land of the free (which elects bush) this is just usual to promote a bug :p
maybe your company could use the same opensource project your government issued money on
if the government spends 300 bucks on opensource it is not the same as if it spends it on Ms
everybody will be able to use the solution
you could try debian
it solves most the dependency issues i had with SuSE,Redhat or Mandrake
i know about up2date and other tools the above named distributors provide
but what i saw they only help if you want to install software which is already included in their distribution or at least the dependencies are included from the distros i tried only debian (and gentoo) had a big enough and up to date package base to prevent this from beeing a problem

it is a shame

maybe they should rename to Linuxhansa systems
what gives it a especially funny touch is that munich is actually going to use linux in their administration
you could try debian
