But when you plan to change over your government (landen) software into open source you have to make sure that your software base isn't bought from under you before this changeover is done...
The German state is just being very trustworthy towards their partners in this process, something one cannot say about my own government (dutch) as they only know how to cheer monopolies like MS.
the dutch government(s) are some of the most UNTRUSTWORTHY governments when it comes to protect their inhabitants...
Typical manager blahblah...
Go sell hamburgers instead if you don't plan to know what you are selling...
if you sell me a computer i do expect you to know what you sell me, if you blow that part and are unable to give me service afterward then i will sue your ass off...
Linux is not the same as selling a MS windows cd...
With Linux the seller is acountable, not some company, so be carefull...
Everybody that got a system redo by me got a copy of open office, doesn't matter if the OS was Windows or Linux...
No complaints after explaning that 99% of their friends doc's can be opened, which is better than MS office self...
At first all were amazed how this was posible, after convincing that they would have a office suite for no money that didn't fell of a truck and would not give any guilt feelings or hungry licencencing dogs... they fell for it and still use it up to date, all of them...
I run a small consultancy and design firm and noticed that GPL is great for end users, just as envisioned...
One way or the other we are all end user, like our great encesters with stone akses we need those tools to survive in the future...
Not somehow, in the USA prisoners mean big bucks...
Believe me or not but in the USA a part of the people is intentionally kept in getho's to serve as prisoner slave in the USA privatized prisoner system...
People's rights in the USA get worse every year, now they want to export their fucked up system in a swoop of juridical imperialism...
Mainly the people of the new american century, they are sick rightwing extremists...
elsewhere, then what?
I can think of some parties that are not really amused if their pool of knowledge is taken away from them...
With the internet knowledge and ideas are for the grabs for institutions like the militaries NGO's etc...
Also the software companies loose track of their customers again...
Now we don't want that to happen, do we?
Is USA management that stupid and short sighted today?
Nice would be, with non deamons first, to have a transparent crash recovery in where a copy of the data segment is made redundand and spawn in a newly started fork when a crash ends the original application.
yes they did, where did you think that the extra tax was going to that was especially put on empty media of all sorts?
With that sceme they lost their rights of claiming money twice...
Why don't you try it for yourself?
Get the zip, put it in a folder you like, unzip it.
start: MozillaFirebird -p once.
Then after just start MozillaFirebird every time.
No installation program that can be blocked by your company.
Small compared to Mozilla seamonkey aka Netscape bloat, also fast and extendable.
Oh yes, you will never ever be pestered with that dorkey stupid colored scrollbar again, same go's for popups.
eh, Opera stinks with DHTML, not the website makers...
1. do not give bug reports to MS as they are not woth it, let them pay for our service, they make us pay too for all the crap they make.
2. break your pages for IE and tell the people why this is the case and blame MS for it while offering Mozilla Firebird, these are exactly the same tactics that MS played at first.
Most people i got turned over to Firebird are extremely satisfied, more so as it does not need a installer and thus give people in restricted company environments a second chance to browse beyond their crippled IE.
3. wait with directing people to Opera, it's a nice fast browser with a MAJOR problem, A totaly crippled DOM, the things you need to do to make Dynamic HTML posible is to cry of.
but apart from the 65xx no open hardware...
btw, are small setups of older litho tech in a new saver setup not perfect for starting companies doing open Hardware?
btw... as far as i have seen most motherboard brands have not yet a linux-bios port...
I was not planning on making a BIOS, still i like to ask these kind of questions, maybe to plant seeds that enable me in ten years to buy a open hardware product using a open software os anjoying open music standards and watching open video standards...
This is hard needed if we want to give non mainstream projects any chance in the future...
Not all people want to be dependent on some company, I think most of us dont want that at all...
The only way to get around this M$ idiocy is to create Open source hardware...
There is a lot of propriarity code inside a PC nowadays, the original PC came off the shelf from many standard parts...
Then came rudiment chipsets, then southbridges and north bridges and this goes on and on...
But almost none of these systems are open, a company as M$ can make unilateral agreements and contracts to devide a market and keep other players out...
M$ has this history of using all the room they can take when it comes to unethical business, prooven over and over again...
Don't you all think it is time we started BIOS and various firmwarez projects on Sourceforge and Freshmeat?
Can we really not find people that are willing to put things like lithomasks, traces of motherboards and other IP in GPL alike licences?
If we wait too long then we can't run our home made code even on our own computers...
Slashdot Mirror
If Michael Robertson really cared about the songs he should have made a binding contract for them on the moment he sold MP3.com.
I have a feeling he is a crybaby that only cares for his own (good?) name and his reputation...
He found selling mp3.com more important back then than retaining the songs for archive...
He is like all the other managers of businesses...
Not to be trusted that is...
This meens no more students making and testing software and/or protocols...
Another step of corperate america to snatch away the net...
I still think most virusses are writen by anti-virus companies...
This all stinks, and no i do not and never will trust Cisco...
copy copy copy copy is all they can do and when others copy they are the first to throw around with lawsuits...
In that case no thanks...
I stick with my Bluefish editor
Way more elegant (non bloat) design...
It is rather emberassing to find another view of your own opinions in google cache... lol...
crackers... lol...

Do this ten times and then ask yourself the same question...

If you really did this all by hand and got a nice working bare system you really know what drives a GNU/Linux machine.
what kind of ladies do you meet?!?!?!

I applaud them... haha...

enough reasons? no?
1. do not give bug reports to MS as they are not woth it, let them pay for our service, they make us pay too for all the crap they make.
