"In fact, there are dozens of currently unrealized features that have already been implemented in one branch or another that might someday make it into a Boa release. In fact, there are outstanding requests for various features that have already been implemented in one of the branches that I hope will make it into the first 0.95.0 release."
What is this all about and why do they keep saying "In fact"?
I go through a local company called Bevcomm for my DSL internet and I use to have a cell phone service with them too. Not only does my internet go down all the time for no apparent reason, but every other week I have someone trying to steal my IP and I have issues cause of that too. My ISP does nothing to stop any of this.
I also cancelled my cell phone I had with them too (I even paid the $200 cancelling fee before my year was up to get rid of them). They were really that bad, I had random charges to my cell phone even if I didn't make a call, the phone would not let me make phone calls when I had full service and they charged me for it. Suddenly I blew over my 300 minutes without talking for an hour on the phone.
What I want to know is, if I did start donating to the EFF, what could they do to help me, a person living in a small town with little options on internet except for the local companies? I would be glad to donate if they would help people like me.
Getting the software for cheaper (free) is one thing, but what kind of "costs" are you going to get for using this software. Sure you may save $27k but what happens when something break? Will you need to hire someone capable of handling open source software and how much will he cost per year? What if something breaks and a service is down for a while, there will be no company to hold up their software and support it, it is now up to you.
Good to see that A country is taking a stand to Microsoft and their monopoly. I wonder how long it will take other countries/companies to follow this path...
I agree that malicious code shouldn't be readily posted without a patch, but sometimes it takes a lot to get a company to make changes. Look at Microsoft, you think they would care about security issues in a program until somebody released malicious code to the public, the company then is forced to patch the program to avoid a bad rep and THEN to avoid problems for their users...
just my two cents...
we start seeing engine upgrades and battery upgrades, maybe even the computer chip upgrades. A whole new generation of extreme sports will be created! I can't wait to pull a superman off some motocross jump on 'IT'!
You guys just wait!!!

At least they are actually trying to help the computer industry instead of making organizations that take away our rights...
maybe I wont need to use the Gatos drivers anymore... this would be very nice!
Well it is, they have to fix the current bugs and introduce some new ones for users to get fucked over with...
