  1. Re:The One Button Mistake on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Linux is a kernel, you don't need any mouse to use it. Does that make it superior? In case you actually mean the GUI there are several you can use with the Linux kernel. One of them is Gnome ans the Gnome HIG require you to design your interface to be usable with one pointer button.

    I don't care about the "pirates" and I couldn't care less about MS profits, but they screw up the collective internet and take no responsibility.

    I don't care if it's a legal or illegal zombie spaming me into the ground. MS fucked up and MS should do something about it.

    They didn't have the right bussiness model back then:

    Depends if you ask the person ho was harmed or the person who harmed them. Both are involved unlike one person viewing porn at home and the other not.

    First off they are SUBHUMAN to engage in that kind of behavior and deserve to be treated like the animals they are, plain and simple.

    Free Software licenses allow you to keep your changes if you don't distribute the software outside your organization. Open Source may have a different mindset.

  25. Re:GNOME team seems more aggressive than the KDE t on Gnome 2.10 Sneak Peek · · Score: 1

    Mandrake hasn't been Rad Hat with KDE for a long time. There is nothing KDE centric in Mandrake with the exeption that KDE is the default desktop if installed. I did not say that GTK equaled Gnome, their tools are quite desktop neutral. They are also under the GPL, so no legal reason not to use Qt.
