As any fool know, windows is much cheaper than that awful swedish DOS imitator.
This is my final public post in this site ever so dont bother replying to me.
I use Slackware 10.0 on an 80GB Seagate working with an Athlon64. Its all I run. There will be no Windows of any kind on my machine. I am in the process of setting up Cedega - Windows API for Linux - it will be the only weak link. As for servers. My bozx rules in user mode 3 - no GUI. Its so fast. My cd burner works very well in KDE with K3B too thankyou. You insensitive clod.
Goodbye/... forever!
WTF
Sorry/. Im not impressed.
I dont like loading up a supposedly Linux/Inix web site to see a huge advertisement banner displaying hoe Windows TCO is cheaper than Linux.
I am ready to leave this site forever, and its giving me some ideas as to why less users are here lately.
Im not impressed
"we were about to give up and try a different approach, we decided to check the samples for a last time," says Sean Giblin.
It was a fortunate decision, because over the months the original polymer had developed magnetic properties"
Correct me if Im wrong but does this mean they are only temporary magnets. To be the worlds first plastic magnet shouldn't it be permanent?
My main bone is with paragrph 2 of your reply:
Government tax money isn't going to the shipping, nor is it going to intel.
Intel employees are part of their production process, and stop picking on Intel - that was just an example. AMD are exactly the same, in fact all heavy electronic industry, countless industries, services. You mentioned shipping. So whats efficient about a ship guzling oil for what is almost an eterntity as it cruises around to take advantage of cheap labour. Just because you dont pay much for something doesn't mean allot of resources were used for its production. If Ireland has ornerous laws set up to force companies who do business there to undergo some arcane shipping route, then perhaps you should inquire as to what government is doing.
Please stop confusing government and capitalism. They are not the same thing.
Wake up, this is how the worls operates. Your beloved capitalism is the catalyst by which all this is promoted. As for confusing government and capitaism...Please. Its governments who maintain the monster that is capitalism (lobbied by big industry and jobs..etc etc etc, blah, blah, blah)
I live in Ireland. If I want to buy an Intel proc. it will have been half constructed in Ireland to avoid corporation tax. Then it will be built some more in Malaysia - low labour cost. Next it will go to a distribution centre somewhere in Europe (where is not so important). Then on to a wholesaler in Ireland again...I am actually leaving out many loops here Im sure - its even worse!
So, whats wrong with this??
For a start, this is very inefficient and waistful of resources and is exactly why you can work 60-100 hours a week with billions of others around the world doing the same to achieve very little (Admit it - nothing changes fast in this world!) . Why? Because you (probably, and I) work in a sosiety whereby (Its not important whether we do or not - billions do) your taxes and labour - basically your combined contribution to society - is NOT being spent on the greater good of society - rather it is being spent on a processor that is on a permant holiday travel around the world, taking in all the sights (and remembering sun-tan lotion) of this wonderful world. If you don't want something better you can't have it.
So, your inevitable response:
All this cannot be changed over night - no it can't but it can be undone over time - with change. Capitalism must be taken back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.
pfff reinvestment of profits gained ""in a free market. "" is exactly what drives government rules saying who can make what and who has to pay who to make stuff.. Dont blame me because you literally suck!
Just gimme my flamebait mode points and be gone you fiend!
Good point but: Maybe if I could afford a 1TB hard drive...
I really dont think thats far away at all. I forsee cheap 10-100tb drives within 10 years...
Maybe thats a foolish prediction but I doubt it!
They expire. Relatively quickly. As in, within my lifetime
I don't want to wait a lifetimefor new technology. In 7 years anyone can make an iPod
I don't want to wait 7 years for innovation in the handheld mp3 player (iPod dominated) market..
Patent law isn't nearly as fucked up as copyright law.
Yes, copyright policy also sucks. They are all part of that generic inefficient thing we call capitaism. The default dead-head response to this is: "Is there a better substitute to capitalism?" F*£@ yeah. there sure f****** is.
it must be researched, developed, tested, and proven. Proven technology like MP3 could never have evolved if Fraunhofer wasn't so wise to invent and release the technology.
I have to disagree. Fraunhoffers codec was great, but with hard discs having the high capacity they do now and at a reasonablr price, you could put every song you wanted on a hard drive in raw.wav form. You would be guaranteed to have top quality songs. Fraunhoffer also imposes royalties as you probably know. Ogg Vorbis is an alternative.
MP3 is a classic example of hype.

Guess what, security is free;)

When will Open Source advocates realize that it's just this sort of behind-the-times technological gaffe that will keep Linux in single-digit marketshare forever?;)
A single digit market share that laughs at YOU from a hammock while you spend your life updating Windows with critical security patches / or getting raped by script kiddis.

Pay no attention to those who do not accept this.
I suugest that you clean the garbage from your mind which tyou have received from/. an read the paretn link again. This will clarify things. I have read a good amount of material on it. If you want to jump in at the deep end, google for "Quantum non demolition" etc. There are many papers in the public domain on it.
