...and then your virgin mother will emerge from the brothel and ascend into your Fascist American Heaven wher Bu$$h the father will protect you poor little cowards froever from the BIG baaaaad world called reality.
...there will be the M$ U$A world, where Freedom is being eroded not only by the current fascist government but also by fascist, pigopolist companies like Monopolo$$$oft. When the rest of the world is happily running Linux in government admistrations and Universities, when enen the non-American end user has been educated to the Linux system, the United States will be very secure with its hardware censored Windows-specific hardware. Americans will pay not only with their fundamental freedom of choice, but also with their hard-earned money, paying M$ until their money starts flowing from Ballmer's A$$ and the record industry's ears. Americans will live in a closed, censored world, a Homeland Securized world, totally isolated from any reality but an Oprahafied, Bushified, RedNeckified, version of a Disnyfied morality.
You know that M$ is beyond good and evil. UberGates, better known as The Furher, knows best.
Unfortunately, this will give Micro$lop the "right" to spam anyone on any e-mail account, but then again, the Furher knows best. Of course, you can do what I do and block ALL M$ domains at the ISP level.
Exactly! I once ran some FreeBSD and Debian servers that were so heavily scripted, it was hard to keep track. I did keep a log foe future "undo's", but it is easy to loose track. Most of the scripting concerned security, firewalls, and interaction with home-brewed IPtables. The "spirit" of some of those scripts today are integral parts of certain firewall applications.
It all starts with the ~/.tcshrc file, then you can't stop. It gets tooooo good.
So, we have learned that the writer of the article has no idea that the problem with M$ is its paternalistic attitude. We also learned that M$ wants to get a stranglehold on hardware and hardware companies so that they can exclude all other Operating Systems and that the "average stupid Joe" won't say a thing as long as he can watch his baby films on a big screen powered by the criminal monopolist. I learned that not only is there one sucker born every minute but they are exactly what is wrong with the world's freedom. To sum it up, this proves that there always will be enough stupid M-F's in the world to keep Billy's home renovations going at a good pace.
I always wait till after an install to configure the USB mouse. I have a Logitech Optical Wireless USB wheel mouse. Just plug it into uour USP port. Leave your serial mouse connected. Go to the Mandrake Control Center. Choose Mouse. Choose USB three button wheel mouse if that description applies. Click APLY, then OK. Many times, the system will seem to freeze a bit, rather the process doesn't seem to end. Just close the control center, and if there is no widget response when you click on "close" still with your old mouse, just kill the process. Log out. Log back in using your USB mouse.
Open Office has become an accepted standard EVERYWHERE in the *nix world (and beyond), except perhaps in that putrescent space between your pimple-studded ears.
KDE will never SET standards, and it should not try to do so if it wishes to survive. KDE is compatible with itself. HooRay!!! Hold your breath while the world gets on the KDE train, chugging its bloated wagons up a 2% grade via 98% CPU usage, chump.
The KDE-specific clipboard seems to work, most of the time, with a few unpredictable exceptions, only within the KDE gamme of apps. KWord seems to be compatible only with itself, then again, when any office app is used on the "plain text" level, interoperability can be achieved. These are probably due to my inexperience in KDE. But all those strange Office apps, what happens if a secretary in an "office" somewhere sends files to someone without KDE who uses Star or Open Office or AbiWord??... or even Windows+MS Office, god forbid? Is there easy interaction between KDE-specific Office apps and what others may be using? I don't believe so.
Then again, write that up to my KDE inexperience if you must.
But as I have stated, the KFM is superbe! I have not seen a file manager easier to use with so much power.
Gnome's new glitchiness and KDE's slowness since 3.0 have driven me back to XFce, Windowmaker, and IceWM. The fact that Gnome has become less configurable also means less tweakable. To correct crash-related events, the user is obliged to directly intervene in the "rc" and "config" files with correctives both at the user and the "sudo" level. Gnome2 is OK, KDE also......
KDE has become a train with too many wagons. It has difficulty climbing the useability hill. Some apps take forever to launch...., but it is tweakable, and minor problems are easily corrected through UI intervention.
All I know is that in XFce, when I launch an app, its interface comes up instantly. Same with Windowmaker and IceWM.
I agree with BOTH Mosfet and Eugenia, if that is possible. KDE is getting faster since 3.1, but I have a problem with the numerous applications that are totally worthless due to their incompatibility with accepted standards. But that too is changing. KDE is making a great effort in that also. I especially agree with Mosfet concerning RedmondHat, oops, I meant RedHat... RedHat has become the M$ of the Linux world....., and "big business" is welcomed to it. Debian or FreeBSD make for more reliable servers.
But back to UI's
The KFM "su" and regular modes, kmail, and KPPP make KDE worth the installation. I have never seen anyone successfully use the Gnome Dialer for mor than one run. Kmail is fast and elegant, has great filtering abilities, and beats even the glitchy, slow, cumbersome Evolution to hell. The file managing abilities inherent in KDE beat Nautilus, still glitchy after all these long years.
But as I said earlier, XFce and/or Wmaker have them all beat, both for speed and for configurability.
You make a good point.... but, then again.... when I was in grad school, I resented the 75 IQ seven foot tall moron sitting beside me... You know the one: the one with a $200,000 paid scholarship because he may be able to help win a basketball game or two...., the one that cheated on every exam, with the admin's help so that he could continue to play for the team. Grudges are real and will remain so. They are also justified. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=54299&threshol d=0&commentsort=1&tid=146&mode=thread&cid=5334 307
When I was a victim of this social structure, way back when, I and the other nerds decided that the cause of our situation was the fundamental and inherent stupidity of the "average person". In other words, the average "Joe", with an IQ of 100, a total lack of individuality, and empowered by ingrained superstitions IS one stupid Mot*er F*c*er.... We also decided to do something about our situation, while fighting back and having fun doing it. We snuck in to locker rooms to unsharpen the hockey team's skates before matches. We sent crap bombs, powered by springs to bullies. We once glued several textbooks shut, but they didn't notice till the end of the year when it was time to turn them in.
So now I am an adult...., at least I am supposed to be, but I still have this total distrust, disgust, and total lack of respect for the "average joe".... You know, the one who votes for wars, burns crosses on southern lawns, reaps victims as he drives while totally imbibed with beer, thinks all intellectuals are pansies, beats his wife during the Super Bowl because she dared interrupt his "concentration"....
Many reasons were indeed given for the nerd persecution problem in the article, but I believe it is much more simple. There is a problem because virtually the majority of people in the world, especially in America's part of it, are truly stupid.
I run Debian on an iBook.... I did the "takeover" installation, that is, Debian is all I have in the iBook. Linux runs very fast on an iBook.... and, the internal USB connected modem has a driver which may be had from Conexant or from the Apple Darwin site under "third party drivers".... which has drivers for all the possible modem types. Really, the iBook is the best machine I have ever owned..... very tough.
I recently requested that IBM sell me a Think Pad without Windows.... They refused, the hypocrites who spout their "linux friendly" crap out of the side of their corporate piggy snouts.. It seems that Micro$nout has them by their porcine balls via "unwritten threats"......
This could be a way.... a "legal" way (because the piggies make such laws), for capitalist piggies to make 'free and open' Open Source pay THEM..... What irony! It's just like business-minded pig head, vultures to interfere with freedom in this way. Imagine!!! Paying extra taxes to download Debian/GNU software! And should we feel sorry for all those poor hapless Windows users and servers out there who are obliged to patch their systems every five minutes via taxed downloads? Nah! And what about spam? We could end up paying for the privilege of downloading hundreds of spam emails each day.
Yes indeed!!!! I had the pleasure of destroying several winmodems after having replaced them with REAL hardware, Linux/BSD compatible modems. A hammer did the trick nicely.

This is going to give me nightmares..... images of those keys "popping" off like popcorn, the distorted screen, melting.... melting........ Ohhhhhhhhh

Then again, that might be a good way to make "literate", alphabet-stamped waffles.

Maybe she hid it for fear of being burgularized when at work, then when she came home, she preheated the oven for one of those slim-trim special aluminum-tray frozen dinners.
Why do I have this picture in my mind of a 250 pound High School Varsity football player crying while being bullied by a 150 pound nerd with black horned-rimmed glasses and a padded backpack with an ancient Toshiba Linux laptop in it that runs faster than a new ThinkPad with XP pro?
