I have to say that it was really cool to buy a symbian S60 phone which no one wanted for dirt cheap (iirc Nokia sold them only a couple of thousand). Other models with S60 were 2-3 times more expensive back then. The only complaint I have is the "elephant ear" type use when talking.
I mean, I have a phd and I'm quite good at maths, having solved the 3 problems who where thrown at me in 1 year and a half (instead of the regular 3 years) b
I thought that MySQL is a commercial product with dual licensing, GPL and some other. There is company backing, the software is developed money in mind, it is commercial. Commercial doesn't mean non-free.
(Do the editors even have a clue or do they just click "Add article")
As they sold far in advance of the number of outstanding shares, their in a bind.
Did you know that such spelling errors make you look very stupid and affect to the fact how people perceive you through your posts. Here is some guide for you:
I think in this situation we have lession, brothers - we (and I don't care about the OS, about software, about what care you drive or what your beliefs on global warming are) should spread the world that INTERNET should not be controled by NO politics. Repeat after, me - NO poltics.
Linux community is often misorganized; programs and information is hard to find.
Actually Linux is only a kernel. Do you mean Free Software community or the kernel developers? It is stupid to put every guy working on free software under the name "Linux".
Too bad that the Finnish word for it is "tekijänoikeus", creator's right. The politicians said that "tekijänoikeus" is about the right of the creator, not some other.
As for now, Open Source/Free Software fulfills all these requirements "out of the box". Getting them all from any commercial vendor would be near-impossible, or at least a true torment in the means of negotiations.
Proprietary you mean? What would some company have against providing some Free Software solution for money?
the GNU System is just a collection of Unix utilities..
You are wrong. The GNU System isn't just a collection of tools. It is a whole OS with basic libraries and tools. People just use different kernels with it.
Let's be honest, there are areas of software development that get some benefit from a commercial model and the cash incentive from selling your software when you're done.
Non-free model you mean? Commercialism and free software are compatible.
Slashdot Mirror
Stallman speaks about Free Software, the writer of the article has obviously no clue regarding the distinction between Open Source and Free Software.
..more optomized
Optimized? Do you get paid?
No, GNU never built an operating system. They built a lot of really useful parts but have never assembled them into an operating system.
Have you ever tried GNU/Hurd? Debian has packaged the thing and it is installable and usable today.
BitTorrent seems to have worn out it's welcome with the MPAA recently,
It seems that even a non-native Finn would make a better editor than the paid natives here.

You can be both commercial and "open source", see mysql.
In my opinion Linux's weakest point is its kernel.
Linux IS the kernel, nothing else. That's why there is a problem you describe.
However, I can't buy msuic from them on principal.
I wouldn't buy anything on principal, on principle, that is other story

Those were interesting problems I presume.
Actually, BSD is a unix derivative just like Linux. Both have their separation from Unix and neither is Unix.
Actually GNU's Not Unix. It is a system which behaves in the same, compatible way, not a derivate. Linux is a kernel.

'Cause that's the situation that's going on in the middle east.
Why aren't there then any Christian suicide bombers? There surely are Christians living in there.

their is a possessive form
they're = they are
Why not use some 1200 baud simple radio modem operating on some license free band, like 27 MHz CB. It would be much simpler I guess
If there isn't a Free driver available I won't buy it. That excludes some of the hardware but I can still manage.

Isn't that "free speech" thing politics itself?
Freedom. And it is GNU/Linux.

This is very probably 100% about copyright. Why don't you say so then?

Your posts are very insightful but too bad no one moderates them as such. Feel free to join #GNU in freenode and we could have a chat :).
And what does GNU have to do with open source? They are about Free Software only.
