You're confusing Free as in speech and free as in beer.
I'll revise the sentence I wrote that you quoted to "If we're using Free software because software ought to be Free, then..."
One of the few typos in that post...
RMS was just here (University of PIttsburgh...first time he'd been here since the CMU printer incident...) on Thursday, and what he had to say about it was this:
It sends out mixed messages if we mix proprietary and Free software. If we're using Free sofware because software ought to be free, then using proprietary software doesn't make sense.
It's like saying that you're going on a hunger strike to protest something...but eating a few crackers every day or so.
This is what he said, I don't necisarily agree or disagree.
Who gives a rat's ass about whether you deem it as true programming? If playing with blocks accomplishes the task well, does it matter if you feel the need to make yourself seem smarter by calling it "not true programming"?
I care if it's not 'true programming' because things like VB have made computers what they are today.
The 'dot com' boom was one of the worst things ever to happen to computing.
It brought a ton of people to computers that don't actually give a shit about computers, and only care about making a quick buck. Do they care about the art and science that is computer programming? Hell no! They just want to turn a dollar, and it's why we have so many problems on the web today.
Fuck VB, and fuck all the people who got into IT because "it pays lots of money."
I wish I could mod you up past 6.
There almost isn't any room anymore for the 'old' Republicans. Whatever happened to being fiscally conservative as well as socially?
I don't produce/write/perform my music so much for the love of it, as I do for the fact I can earn a living doing it.

Yes, I love what I do. Being paid for it is a bonus.
So which is it again? I got a little confused there.

PSP And DS Duke It Out

We don't get the PSP until the end of June, so the DS will undoubtedly win the battle here by default.
Yes, and the Dreamcast won the 128 bit system battle because it was out years before the PS2.
...Does anyone else think we need a new collary to Goodwin's Law?
I'm not comparing Bush to Hitler, but it seems the same general idea holds true. The longer the discussion, the more likely someone finds some roundabout way of turning it into a jab about Bush.
Yes, typical U.S. citizen browsing a site that's based in and mostly about the U.S.
I know America tends to be self centered, but/. IS based in and primarily about America...do you bitch and whine whenever we refer to 'the law' instead of 'U.S. law' in YRO?
Typical non-U.S. citizen bitching about how the U.S. are a bunch of $insult.
Michael K. Powell is Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Chairman Powell was nominated by President William J. Clinton to a Republican seat on the Commission, and was sworn in on November 3, 1997. He was designated chairman by President George W. Bush on January 22, 2001.

Do you know how many ideas that the Matrix itself stole from various sources?

Agreed. The best part about using 98SE is that you don't even need to worry about security!
So what you're saying is, Canadians can't aim very well?
Yes, most GPL text editors and office suites can write summaries in RTF. Any other questions?
If the submitter had just linked to the printable version or you clicked on the link from thier link, you wouldn't have to!
Exactly. If you invoke it explicitly, you've lost as well.

Didn't the G3 iBooks come out way before 10.2? I'm sure the 128mb was fine for OS9.2.
...use 'Mastering Regular Expressions . It's a good book on the topic as well.
Crazy drunk, from what I'm told...
As soon as you stop paying, you lose access to your songs.
Wouldn't a popular beleif that something makes you cool...make it cool?
So what you're saying is that Bittorrent, SMTP, and Spam are the only thing the Internet is used for?
