if you will do a whois on amazon.com or yahoo.com or apple.com, you will see that someone is screwing with them as well, but it does not seem to affect those other sites web pages.
The difference is that Microsoft code is only open to people who will abuse it, and linux code is open to people who for the most part will analize it and make it better and more secure. I think the best thing would be for Microsoft to open the source completly (under a strict license so they can still make money) and benifit from open critisim on the net. I know that this will never happen, but its an idea
All right, I dont understand why this is flaimbait. Because you dont like my opinion? Because everyone should should praise opensource projects no matter how bad they are, or how slow there moving? I dont like Microsoft any more then anyone else here, but they DO have a better web browser the the mozilla team. Its fast, and much more compatible with the different web technologies.
Of cource if you dont have an agrument, you can always call this post faimbait or something. When you cant ague something make sure you censor it.
It alters data.. If only the file name, it still changes data, and leaves the possiblilty of doing damage. Since it also emails itself around mabey virus-worm is a better term.
I think that the only chance is that the software will be reviewed as it stands now (only to apease the people who are scared of Big Brother). Once the software is installed, and a few months go by, people will forget about it, the the goverment can upgrade to version 1.001 without people noting, and that "patch" could change the functionality of the software completly. Once the goverment has this in place, there big battle is over, and they can do anything they want
So the original version of the software will have almost no functionality, but will have room for modules or plugins or such. Then the goverment can add small fixes remotly in the future, which they will not document. There are a million ways for the goverment to hide features of the software. I still would not trust them.
I agree... I think many upcomming artists have to deal with the fact that there is not much room to play with there contracts(there lucky to get one from a major label) A this point in there carreer Metalica has probably a very good deal, and if they didnt, they could probably pick from any record label, or even start there own. But thats not the point.....
Weither your stealing from the label or the artist does not make any any more acceptable. Your still takeing money from someone. It doesnt matter if you feel they deserve it, its THERE money
Who are you to say what is a small % drop to lars. A penny is a penny. If Lars whats his money, its his right to get EVERY penny. Stealing is not the right way to protest any more then shooting everyone with a rolex. If you dont like it, get a guitar and make your own music.
As far as Diablo, You cant use the menality that if he was going to buy it, he would of allready. If he didnt steal it, mabey he would have payed for it. And if he doesnt want to pay for it, then he should not get it.
Im not going to pretend that I never downloaded music from Napster, or copied a piece of software, but Im not going to justify that what I did was anything more the theft.
I think that we have all become a little to common with the practice of stealing our music, and are begining to forget that the music is not released under GNU, and it is not yours to give away. I cant give you a copy of Diablo on the web, just because Im able to. That would take money out of a programmers pocket, same as napster takes money out of Lars's pocket. Just because they have alot of money is no excuse for stealing from them.
Please dont flame me, I have a right to this opinion
King has some realy good books (the stand) and also some realy bad ones (insomnia). I think that he should set up a pay what you think its worth program. Where you have a subjected domaintion to the author. I would definitly give some extra money to see another dark tower book.
All in all, I think this is a great way for king to get his revenge with book publishers.
Its more like telling people that black cars are standard, and not expecting people to request shinny silver cars. Im usally the first person to knock M$, but some of the things that they added to the web/DHTML are realy nice. I want to have a flashy web page with cool features, and im tired of sacrificing looks and functioality to comply with a standard that is always several months behind
dont't count on that. I use the lastest mozilla milestone, and it does NOT comply with M$ specs. Allthough they do suport the standard stuff like CSS, it does not understand the aditional styles that M$ added. I wish they did, but it looks like they are going to support the W3 standards and nothing more
There have been some recent slashdot articals showing new monitor technoligies, some with true 3d. I think that we have done all that can be done with curent monitor technoligies, and need some new hardware to get drastic improvments on GUIs. Once we have a floating image instead of a 2d flat screen, the posibilities with GUIs are endless.
no, Microsoft does use linux.... at least for testing. I remember a while back there was linux.microsoft.com which was discover on the web running linux and apache. Soon after the artical was released the site was taken down.
Besides if Microsoft didnt run linux, where would it get all its good technoligies for windows 2001? Theve taken everything useful they can from apple
Also SUN didnt show up. Im pretty sure that they where there last year. They did have a linux pavilion, but there where only two vendors (redhat and linuxmall). linux mall was makeing a desperate attempt to sell stuffed tuxs. On a positive note, transmeta had a very stong presence, linus was even there on Tuesday answering questions and showing his face.
Great link... someone moderate this guy up. A web page like that is 100x more usefull then unmaintained free software project list. The projects on the UFSPL where abandoned for a reason(at least most of them). Lets look into the future, and start gathering a list of the apps that are keeping people from migrating, and get people to port those. Im sure im not the only one looking for an SFTP-GUI, or something that can open visio documents
Yes secure ftp. Are clients rely on it very heavly, and the lack of a grphical client is the only thing holding them back from migrating to linux. There are alot of very nice GUI FTP programs out there, but im not a developer, and would not be able to bring them up to speed even if where easy.
I wish there was a place where non-developers such as myself could go to subject new ideas for open source projects. Stuff that using linux all day, I feel are missing. For example, a graphical sftp client on linux would rock. windows has datafellows, but there is nothing for linux. I could think of at least a dozzen more

how about patenting the process of "Useing a text editing device to generate patents for the process of generating stupid lawsuits"????
Or is that one allready done?
can someone tell me the formula used to figure you Pi????
who wants to bet that the "ate my balls" guy will be the next .com lawsuit??
I wonder...what did happen to Vinod?
Vinod (designation 4 of 12) has his conection to the collective severed.

You must use there patches to use Reiser FS ... there are also other usefull things in there pathces like PCMCIA support, ect.
