For all the idiots who "corrected" me whan I said to take out european support: I meant all but AMERICAN ENGLISH.
I swear, these people on slashdot are so fucking pedantic about "mishaps". Doesnt take a genius to understand what I was saying.. I at least know what those people ARENT.
Who'd you sue? If they dont have a presence there.. You cant sue them. And then, how do you collect, eh?
Also, have you read your EULA for any MS software? It's a license, not ownership (ptoo). They can revoke your or anybody's license. And with XP... what? Why are the European #'s not letting me register my product...
---Its not useless at all. Things would be back to where they were before Microsoft started cramming everything in the OS. PC sellers could give the customer a choice about what browser, mail client, media player etc. was preinstalled.
-No Web Browser (Netscape) -No Media Player (Real) -No Word/Wordpad (Wordperfect) -No Imaging (ACDSee) -No Defrag (Notron Works) -No Zip support (WinZip) -No Solitaire (...)
What's more fair?? Not including jack shit (BAD) or having a archive CD that holds many third party programs like:
Mozilla/Firebird - Browser Real/Quicktime/WiMP/VirtualDub - Media Open Office/Abiword - Suite/document manager Gimp/InfranView - Grapics 7-Zip/Winzip/WinRAR - Compression support BSD Text games (bleh) - nevermind keep it outta here;-)
The way everyone would make out on this is if MS sponsors it. The payware app distrib rights could be bought for cheap since distribution would be immense. MS could sell the Disc for 75$ and claim it does everything you need.
The way I see it is if this "fine" is more than the hassle of doing business with Europe, I'd pull out.
I'd also rip support of all European languages unless you paid mucho.. I'd also invalidate ALL licenes in Europe.. I'd also go cry to Bush to have them treat ol' MS like a picked on kid....
Course, if they do pull out of Europe, it means Linux would be on the rise, and fast.
I'd say you're the hippie shit around here. Go try talking to government officials for what they're doing.
---You're some kind of communist who prefers the government to "give us" software/technology, rather than a private corporation that pays taxes, instead of soaking them up at an unaccountable rate.
"Give us"... Hmm. Yeah. We give them money in taxes and they dont give much back. I guess when they do give something back to the community, we're "COMMUNIST PIGS!!!". After all, it IS ours.
---Those NSA Linux patches are doing a world of good - in making the NSA look good.
And you dont think they use it in house and neded somebody outside to maintain it? open source works both ways buster.
---Meanwhile, their Echelon system, among myriad others, is scanning all global telecom, including this message.
And you assume they have the ability to break every code known to man in 0 seconds flat too??? Do you remotely have an idea how much encrypted chatter there is out there?
---To protect us from the Al Qaeda they nurtured? No, to keep us under control.
Sheesh. If people in the US has a real problem with the way govt controls us, it's riot time. Many are sheep, but you've never went through a neighborhood where EVERYBODY has shotguns and many of them are sitting on their porch while holding it. And it may be anecdotal, but a while back, someone tried to rob a "granny". That granny had a Remington '22 next to her chair.. When that robber tried to break in, she pointed it at him, told him to stick his head in that bucket while she called the cops. She fired a warning shot at the doorframe to let him know it works;-)
When you lose the support of these normal people is when the US will be destroyed and rebuilt.
---If only they would distribute some software that could keep shut the jabber of naifs like you. We need someone to do the NSA's job, and a DARPA to administrate. Not a KGB state, with a mic in every pot.
If anything, I'd think you're the quack... but this is the usual cruft that occurs on slashdot. The govt isnt about to capture you in the night for saying "bad" things.
Most likely they dont give a shit about you, with the exception of 1: the IRS.
---Random polynesian companies generally does not desire to monitor the world. The US govt DOES. (PATRIOT act anyone?)
Do you know what they monitor???
1: ALL communications on all freq's around any military installation, airport, or other place deemed to need monitoring. 2: Communications coming FROM other countries to the US. 3: Communications to and from suspected terrorists 4: Threats against high officials and family.
Go read the guy from K5 that had the Secret Service come to his house. They did not come in gangbuster style. They just didnt want the President hurt. From his posting, he said 1 guy came and just had an informal interview. If however, some idiot has on a website "I am going to kill the $High_Official on this day" somebody's (secret service) gonna shit a brick. After all, every allegation is considered a serious one.
One of the many unspoken principles of the NSA is if we can deny more information to foreginers than the govt can get, they arm us with powerful technology.
And look at the purpose of the Internet was. It was to make our information transfers to be immune to nukes. Any holes left in could be used by anybody on that network.
All the US Govt haters. You know, they only DESIGNED the current internet for us. And they give out cool schwag like NSALinux and stuff.
And USgovt.. Yeah, they at NASA hired ol' Mr. Becker to make our lan drivers;-) What would you trust? NE2k driver by some random polynesian company, or somebody who works on the computers at NASA?
Yes, they're snoops (what we all call them), but it doesnt make them bad at all. So waht they put together TIA. Who told them to? Congress.
What the snoops do good for the "rest of us" is they give us a various amounts of software and technology. One I am sure you've seen is NSALinux patches. Their core beleif if foregins can get into our infrastructure, it's BAD.
Hardware firewalls are not meant for exquisite filtering or heavy duty VPN. What does make firewalls nice is that they have multiple ports (hence a router) and have a FULL bandwidth between any 2 channels.
With your example, once that nice PCI bus gets saturated... Game Over. Too bad they dont make a 1 GBps card for the AGP slot
I'm sorry, but your reference to "NAZI" in this obscenly stupid FRENCHIE article is illegal and will warrant the farmers spreading manure all over all your iPod's (and a nominal "donation" of $500K to the Socialist Musik Federation).
Yes... I hardly consider Steve Gibson a credible source of information. I remember his quotes back in the day when VCL (Virus Creation Labs) was released. He was "End of the World!!!" at anyone who'd listen.
Take a look at a few links that question/discredit him.

Do you not understand what China is doing right now???
1: They're making their own X86 compatible chip called Dragonballz (or whatever silly name it is). They're around 500MHz or so..
2: They're eradicating Windows in the govt and replacing it with Red Flag Linux. Chinese-ified Red Hat.
3: Getting their country more self-sufficient in everything...

PBS is in the continual state of no money. Discover is usually focused on new happenings and innovations.
Past that, do it for yourselves. Nobody much cares for Ham radio anymore. Sad, I know...

So the "100 Channel" deal is ___ONLY___ 94 channels?
I believe that would be called Bait and Switch.
You dumb stupid mother fucker young kid you. There aint no EULA labels on DVDs or source code for that matter.

You do know that Cloud is a fictional character?
I figure 800 pixels displaying on a screen would not be very heavy, do you think?
2 people..
