Do you mean piracy? what is the difference between 'softlifting' and piracy, besides the rose colored glasses? I don't know much about Stallman, but my inner nerd tells me that MS wouldn't have one of thier fanboys spread such a ideology. So if he does preach such actions, he can't be towing the MS line too hard. (Not only that but it's legal to do that with a *nix install anyway? Irony?)
Vox is still struggling with understanding Mr. Stallman.

I always thought to myself that the ATTENTION: FOLLOWING VIRUS ALERT XXXX IS BLAH BLAH BLAH... emails were a bit spamlike in the way the title looked. Consequently, I never read them.
But I've never infected a machine either. Well, actually that's not true, I visited some Russian porn site once that was magnificently constructed. Opera still doesn't open at all anymore (even after Regclean and reinstall).
Deraj, I cannot comment on your coding skills, as I have not seen them but I believe you fit the proverbial stereotype that engineers arent the best at designing guis and pretty pages. Take a little more time and reorg your page. It will help you in the long run as you are going to get out of college soon and be looking for a job. Can't have your prospective employer looking at that page, its blinding. Check out: http://www.lynda.com/ I think it'll help you out, you seem smart enough to figure it out.:P
This is one of many reasons why I believe China will be a huge(r) player in the international market in the next 20 years. While our innovations are stuck in some new 75 to 100 year time sink, they just share share share. It will be very difficult for a handful of private companies to compete with a hundred million educated chinese. (I know there are like 5 billion of them, but im guessing low as to how many are technically literate for the sake of argument. 100M would be about 2%, which I don't think is a bad guess, almost 33% of the population of America.)
I believe in capitalism and the free trade concept, but I just don't understand how we can prevail on the IP tip. As the basic science becomes concrete, the applied science becomes 'trade secrets'. These copyrighted trade secrets (not always 75 years, I think a court has to approve the 75 year thing IIRC) are held with a company forever basically, while in a communist developed country they are shared across institutions. How can our science stay competitive in the future under this system? I can't think of a viable way. (I know the system of government in China is deplorable in how it deals with it's citizens, but I am merely speculating and arguing the IP and copyright aspects of the forms of government.)
Yeah, and the same guy who can influence governments and buy you and your family a thousand times over. He is an expert at manipulating the present, so that the future need not require prediction.
If you log in everytime you visit slashdot, regardless if you post, you should get mod points in no time. I have actually had to waste some because I get them very often. (Went a long time without, now get them every 2 weeks or so.)
Idiots? They only had to pay back 6 million of hte 32 some billion they scammed off of the US citizens. Makes Al Capone and the Mafia look like the Barbie cake baker.
I think you would have to mispell some of the words in the title because the title itself is copyrighted work (I think, IANAL). (Printing the artists name should be ok tho.)
bzboyz is definately a fraudulent advertiser, at least in my experience. They didn't have the parts that were on sale, but i did get them eventually. Took 2 extra weeks, but i saved about a half a grand on my rig. They also sent the wrong ram (unregistered sent), and it took a month to straighten them out. Finally i had to tell them i was coming down personally to see them after obtaining thier address from a site online. (It's not on the web page.) My guess is it's hosted out of a trailer or something.
Just because its the cheapest price on pricewatch.com doesn't mean its quality. Sometimes paying the extra $50 is worth the lack of aggravation. Now you know to do searches on the validity of the businesses you purchase from. Not such a hard lesson to learn, hopefully you didn't get burned for too much. Live in California? OFfer to go see them personally, it works like a friggin charm. Peace.
I made a trip to europe after the dot bomb, and they have street vendors who sell 100's of ripped CDs on every street corner, like san francisco has homeless. All of them, bar none, were middle eastern. What does it mean?
I don't love MS, but I think this is a rather good idea. Call me crazy, but if something crashes I would want to know what caused it in the long run, and perhaps forbid the program to use the memory space, condition, etc that caused the crash in the future.
One thing I noticed is that isn't this essentially what Doctor Watson is? That has been around forever and I don't think it ever stopped my computers from crashing before. Anyone else have this experience, or do I misunderstand the function of Dr. Watson? (Does the log just store information without doing anything to prevent future conditions that led to a crash?) Anyway sounds very similar to a new spin on an old idea.
not to mention vector paint issues in maya 4.5+ and a graphical bug in reactor for studio max 5, 5.1. (Not that reactor doesn't behave visually strange sometimes anyway.) It was the easiest day of work ever at the office.:P

As for waste storage, I'm all for the ago old plan of sending it to Jersey COD.
aren't we living one right now?
Looking good. I reread my post, I 'm sorry if I was a jerk. Take care, and the furious tv one is my favorite. :P

Thank you. If I were more informed I would have noticed I guess. :)

Having checkout out the Sancho GUI, now I know you can do better. :P

Geez, I'm sorry man. Maybe someone has to mod your comments up to get points. In that case, try humor. Seems to work wonders here.

Well, I guess that's sad if you measure a life's worth by how much man made money it generated.

It is nothing like the original, or even the 2nd one. It is an abomination, feels more like double dragon than duke nuken. Vox

Growing in what arena? I'd like to see linux grow in a practical sense without users.
