Damnit, damnit. Someone had patented having html formats in the text, so I will resubmit using clear text only. Thats is not a good reason NOT to abolish the patent system. Like so: 1. The patent system stifles inovation 2. Therefore we shall abolish the patent system 3. copyrights also stifles sharing and the creation of useful science and arts. 4. Therefore let us NOT abolish the patent system?! wtf?!
This might be a better solution: 1. The patent system stifles inovation 2. Therefore we shall abolish the patent system and use copyrights instead. 3. copyrights also stifles sharing and the creation of useful science and arts mostly due to it's current duration (70+years after the authors death). 4. Therefore we shall severely reduce the scope and duration of copyright so more material will go into the public domain for current and future generations to learn more from and use in their useful science and arts without spending the lifes in court.

Gotta catch 'em all!
If you combine the Rare business speech with his rare flying gnu attack you get the ultra business it infrastructure convert attack!
Seriously though, I wish there was a single webpage with all of his speaches and lectures along with a rss feed. That would really prod buttocks!
Hello neighbor. How long have you lived in Gentoo GNU/Linux EmergeWorldVille? Have you tried the funny hats? Nice weather we're havin'. I'ma rebuildin' ma' house today. How 'bout you? By the way, don't tease the cow 'mkey?
Also, don't min' the inaproriate remarks from the city folk who passed by. Just because we like the extra chimneys, the horizontal X-windows 'n the constant rebuildin'. Just keep on doin' what makes 'ya happy, an' let the rest take care of it self. Thats what my gran' pappy used ta' say, although he lived in SlackwareVille. Poor chap.
Make sure you tell us how it went when you get back next year.
Wow! What a fresh gentoo joke! Did Indiana Jones dig it up for you?
Just so you know, you can use binaries of the live-cd and its kernel for the install, which only took me about 40 minutes.
I remember using those with my atari games. those controllers rock! Unfortunately they were also quite fragile.
I broke at least three. I wish there was a modern one like it with usb connection.
Humm, this really puts a new twist on the "talk like a pirate day". From their perspective.
Yarr, I'm gonna copy that bountifull chest 'O yourrsss young lass.... with all those movin' pictures in'em on silvery discs; and darrs no'thn yo 'cann do about it sweetie! Yarr, harr, harr!
Constantly talking about piracy evokes much stronger emotions in people than talking about copying. Since murderin' pillagin' and rapin' on the high seas inspired fear, hate and lothin', they (the evil ones of MPIAARIAA (second cousing of cthulhu) decided to just use that phrase instead.
I therefore ask *everyone* reading this to constantly correct anyone and everyone you hear talking about "piracy" and remind them that they are talking about copying, *not* the murdering and the pillaging and the violating of young virgins with heaving busoms. Humm, actually now that I think about it, becoming a pirate doesn't sound so bad after all!
I found this lecture rather interesting.

Warning: This is a realmedia stream! If anyone knows how to download it and convert it please tell me, I would love to have a copy of it localy.
I'm so sick and tired of reading about how the poor and defenseless multinational conglomorates aren't making as much money as they had decided that they should have been making! These companies don't have a guarantee that they should earn such and such amount per year. How many companies and start-ups go bust every year because there business plans are obsolete? If they can't make money, tough!
Well, you can always find out by running glxinfo|grep direct is it says no then you have found the culprit. It might also be useful to run glxgears and note the framrate. It's also good to run a native fps, say nexuiz,q1-4,ut2004 or something. For comparison.

Enough with the gentoo bashing! These compiler optimization options would not be a part of gcc if they did nothing. I don't make fun of your hair do I?! So stop making fun of my favorite distro!
That's right, they are all propriatery. The groups who use this software are so bound into it's usage that the very idea of trying to substitude one of these programs for a Free one makes people scared. It won't matter how closely Free software can mimic those programs, as long as they aren't *EXACTLY* the same, they won't touch'em.
Also this article sounds way to much like begging to me. "please sir, can we have these program ported! Please!". "All our money will belong to you if you do!" etc. Why do we need these programs so badly? Might it be because now there is some value to be found in using Free software?
I'm sorry if I sound a bit bitter about this. I worked at a small firm where everyone was using popular propriatery software, always without any proper licenses. If I talked about it or sugested a substitude (gimp for photoshop) people would just say that it didn't matter and that everyone did it, so why shouldn't they. If people were actually forced to pay for all the software that they used (that they can't get for free legally) there might be a serious effort put into trying alternatives.
Just let me ask you one question. How often in the last month have you been asked for a copy of a propriatery program that you know you aren't legally allowed to copy and distribute to others?
If you care about orphaned children, old people and disabled single mothers then please consider supporting the National Socialist German Workers Party and the Ku Klux Klan for a better feature!
What price is justice?
Simple, Just ask the lawyers! They will tell you that you can't afford it.
Why shouln't everyone get an equal change to prove their case (both the guilty and the innocent)?
I know that without a lawyer, even when you have a bulletproof case as this woman supposedly has,
there is a heck of a lot more change for the other side to slip something past you
that you might not even know is significant until it is too late!
