no but if someone did something the law didn't explicitly anticipate I wouldn't claim that meant they existed outside the law and therefore had no legal protection or human rights.
can't all this mess be taken to court over anti-competitive monopolistic BS charges? if the only legal way I can access data I've paid for is using an expensive (and crap) MS operating system then there's something very wrong going on.
my friend has XP and I haven't seen it blue screen, but I've seen "Program will have to close, do you want to send a report to MS" all over the place. And they often require a restart to fix.
oh look, several patches available... wtf, not only do I have to close down all my apps and restart my computer, but I have to restart for each patch individually!?
SUSE YOU is infinitely better. I let it run all the time because it doesn't bug me with crap notices (just changes colour), so I get patches straight away, and no restarts. although I'm not running a server or anything it's still very important to me for my work.
thank god windows is too useless for my work anyway so the crapness of windows update isn't an issue.
I sometimes use MS Office via Crossover though. even that's better on linux - can automatically download updates and "simulates windows restarting" instead of the real thing.
>Even in Soviet Russia you did not have to be a member of the Communist Party. However, that meant settling for low-level jobs and general discrimination.
yes, whereas in America your political opinion had no effect on the jobs you could have did.. oh, er....

yeah I hate it when people say retarded things like that.
America is the continent dipshit.
er, slaves?
oh I see, it's okay if you have a "legal" definition for them (Guantanamo...)

wow, you really are screwed up.
"don't worry about those poor people, how dare they decide with their free will to need food without developing a valuable skill first."
and both get an equal share of the profits?
oh...
I was objecting to scaling with legitimate emails, not scaling with number of insecure high-bandwidth connections.
B.S.
it isn't a case of "one spam for every x legitimate emails"
the number of spam emails and legitimate emails are completely unrelated.
spelling?
stick that in your pipe and smoke it all those people who shouted "what's the point in laws against spam most of it's from foreign countries!"
shame the CAN-SPAM act fucked everything up.
SCO may not *believe* they would be violating copyright law by ignoring the GPL, but ignorance is no excuse is it?
either way the law is against SCO.
yes, that's sort of the whole point of a license now isn't it :-)
if they're saying GPL is unconstitutional and allows enemy nations to develop WMDs, then I'm guessing they don't accept it.
and if you don't accept the license you can't distribute GPL software (assuming you accept copyright, which SCO do)
"free" in the sense of "you can use it so long as you're not trying to kill us and everything we stand for."
er, orders of magnitude difference in what direction?
seems like $5/month per person is a hell of a lot more than someone buying one or two $10 albums a year.

a large cube can be built up from smaller cubes. thus a cube can be modular and easily produced through repetition. this is not true of spheres.
the Borg had a sphere in First Contact, but that was a special vessel designed for time travel, so simplicity wasn't so important.
windows update is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING APPALLING.

someone who doesn't understand infinity talking about people not understanding infinity. I'd call it ironic, but I have a much better word for it...
retardedness!
er, what kind of retard mod made the parent informative?
FYI, the Pulp Fiction quote, word-for-word correct or otherwise, has nothing to do with GIMP 2.0 and qualifies for Funny at best.
now mod me +1 Insightful -2 Offtopic, and while I'm at it I'll take a -1 Troll for "fuck you, you stupid dickheads!"
it's pronounced rpm -Uhv, not -Uvh ;-)
er, are you retarded?
I can't speak for Mandrake or Slackware but SUSE has had update versions for ages.
>If the extensions were not compatible I could easily see Intel pushing AMD out of market.
lol. the 1990s called; they want their opinion of Intel back.
