This shitzone has wasted too much of my time.
Really, I can't deactivate the account and I know nobody on the site (that I can think of) so..why not give it away.
And yes, I am the original owner.
Please enjoy the account for flaming, trolling, or fluffy karma building, or even degenerate karma whoring at your whim!!
present karma: -1 (terrible). If you want to improve the karma rating, you'll have to shorten the enemy list. I have carefully selected many enemies.
I'm having a difficult time parsing your post to understand what you are talking about but I just thought I'd point out that democracy is a form of government. Noo, you are have difficulty with the following simple syllogism:
If A->B, and B->C, then... A->C
Capitalism naturally tends towards the dumbing down (or even more likely in the future - the complete removal) of democracy. This is because of the increasing apathy towards hostile mergers and takeovers, and the corruption afforded by the corporations who wish to engage in such paractices. In could lead to something far worse than just an absence of democracy.
Well, I don't think thats true. It really all depends on your definition of "dangerous". Antimatter and Matter naturally anhialate each other. Matter capable of withstanding a nuclear blast exists..but there is no matter in existence that can live with antimatter..
"We still warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the crusader governments that they will receive the same punishment if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan," it said. "We gave the warning, so we should not be blamed."
I know where I'm not going on holidays. Really, the whole "Just get on with you lives and ignore this" bullshit angers me. I will not get on with it. This really sucks and there needs to be some attempt to appease these maniacs. You cannot beat an invisible enemy. The time of stubborn stupidity and static "get on with it" has to end. When someone gives you a bloody nose, you don't fucus on hitting them back. You try to make sure they never hit you again if you're clever. And that's NOT done by invading a country.
I hope you are right, because if any UNIX does win over the corporate desktop, it'll be Apple's OS X.
Come on now. OSX is as much Unix as Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker..(you have probably caught fire with rage now)
Sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest that OSX critical updates are related to the UI at all.
I think you got the wring flavo(u)r [insert retaliation or reasons for not bothering with retaliation here].
If I had a bat, school kids would learn to appreciate and manipulate/exploit the full (and only real necessary) capability of an OS - the Unix/Linux shells and the suite of tools that can be run with them. It starts with education. But bite back if you want...
I'm still surprised by the amount of "special people" that actually allow an RJ45 connector or other connection to be plugged in and LIVE in a box with a brand new installtion...pff
Fail to prepare -> Prepare to fail (and by fail I mean be owned in 12 minutes!..or less I'm sure..)
Pretty much.. smart folders (macosx 10.4), translucency and 3d effects (OSX, aqua), database file system search (spotlight, google desktop search, beagle, kat, etc), tabbed browsing (firefox, opera, konqueror, et al), restricted user account (well.. a real implimentation would mean rewriting countless windows programs and an overhaul of the windows permission system... unix and unixlike)
I don't remember the last time microsoft showed ANY innovation of its own. anyone?
Thats not innovation. Thats just padding. All of the crappy "innovations" you have mentioned all come with equally crappy unjustifiable patents that are just now crapping on UI development - both Win/MAC. I foresee (just try and argue against this) a gring to a halt of innovation in both OSX, and Win in the future as they trip up on their own patent abuse...Unless of course, ther is patent reform. In any case, at least Sun have release allot of their patents... Do I here a "its not using GPL" whiners? Please go and download your latest crappy critical update, or equivalent crappy OSX update. At least the CDDL is OSI compliant. What are MS/Apple doing in this regard.
I see Linux, Unix, and Opensolaris as the future of the server market. Same for desktops, except X Opensolaris/polaris etc. for desktops.
I'm not trying to flame you, I just think you are wrapping OSX in a kindness bubble it doesn't desserve.
in case of osx/win zealot war:

Really, finally, a transparent UI you can be bored with in 10 minutes and put back to being opaque. Such innovation!
really though - big swingaling. XP already has some translucent things. There's nothing you can get of significance in OSX, or XP that isn't in Linux (KDE, and others!). Really, I'm getting tired of you whippersnappers complaining about Linux not being beutiful out of the box. Quit complaining and go back to your abused lives as corporate OS users..
It DOES NOT take that much effort to get a pretty and feature rich Linux distro up and running.
Also, unlike Windows, there is no problem with crappy closed formats and crappy design paradigms..Unlike crappy OSX, there is no need to be shackled down to just one closed architecture - MAC(intel), formerly MAC(powerpc).
Linux is just all round superior if you get your thumb out of your ass and quit whining. Translucent windows are nothing new in Linux...
AND, nobody's forcing you to be an upgrade zealots either. Good'ol Read Hat 9 (pre Fedora) is stable and secure. Whatever distro of Linux you are using, it will be usable..
I'm in Korea right now, and I can vouch fro Korean women (and men!! courtship?) playing lots of fluffy cite games. Even the really hot Korean women play'em
Yeah, I can just see it now: The (often overweight) mission controllers rise to their fet in applause. Did it it.
Everyone in mission control room: "Yeahhhh, smack the heck out of it.....(silence)... Now lets go waste some more taxpayers money. Where's tha Snickers at.
I don't want to sound too conformative but as much as I hate the way patents*, (and indeed lack of patents!**) are abused, I do believe in a formal process for constraining future possible abuse of patents (and indeed lack of patents**)
* We abuse patents, by using them as a means to vurb or even prevent innovation
**We abuse the lack of patents in situations where by a formal structure (patent law) is not in place thereby leading to sloppy and informal innovation (and indeed sloppy and informal frameworks for propagating innovations to the masses).
In short, for the reasons above, and my overall fear of mankinds general abuse of innovations (and indeed applications of innovations)throughout history, I am less worried about these developments than others.
Mankind is and will continue to be, too stupid to safely propogate inventions and technology around the world whilst not simultaneously damaging or even destroying the Earth or indeed our solar system_
The proliferation of the internet has meant that allot of great minds are aught up in this hamster wheel (net) instead of doing something more productive. I feel like a bit of a hamster just typing this.
The social mismanagement of the internet by companies is a massive factor. The net is an environment which has its social nature corrupted by the big corporations.

or possibly freezing it so that its energy (or anti energy) is in an inactive state...
maybe thats what the dilithium crystals are for... : )
What about forcing DRM for keyboards. Unique driver for a DRM'd keyboard - no privacy problems then
Here anything about this? I haven't but let me know.

That is out of line. And actually, it's by far and away one of the less controversial patents in the industry.
Stop whining /. editors/submittters..
