Linux is not the begining of anything. Linux is a kernel that works with the GNU OS. It's just one component. Actually the real history of GNU is far, far away from what this guy is telling. It started as a revolution, it didn't recieve economic support, and rms was unemployed.
Think about the cost for the kids education. They are teached to use a system that is designed so you don't have to THINK while using the computer. It's maybe ok for your grandma (It's still ethically wrong to use it since it's proprietary), but, do we want our childs to go to school so they are teached NOT to think?.

No, it depends on how you define life. If you define life as a short period of time where you get to exist, and you know about the existence of time before you were born, and you know they will be time after you are dead, and you won't exist at those times, you only have got a portion of that time, and still, you have an obligation with that past and with that future, to remember that past, and to leave a better world for those that will came after you, then you will understand just how important work is, whatever you do, it's what you will leave for the next generations. After that, your other purpose in life, is to ENJOY it. Life is wonderful, because it's the ONLY thing you will get to live;-). But many people are absolutely misleaded, and they instead live for religions, corporations, money, government, and other atrocities that this sick society has created.
Microsoft is a company, the first founded the company, then they got into different projects that gave them money. If tomorrow the production of musical shoes probes to be a better market for Micro$oft, they would switch to it. In the case of google it's diferent. There is a project, there is an specific research, first of all, then, they built a company arround it. That's the difference beetween them. Google is a group of scientists that built a company arround an specific development. Microsoft is a company that has as only purpose to make money, selling whatever shit happens to fit the market today. So, don't be surprised when m$ products are biased, low quality, etc, because their purpose is not to develope quality software, but to just make money. OTH Google has as a purpose to develope quality search technologys, and then, make money out of it.
I'm also glad we agree in such an important idea, it's the basis for everything else we can talk about in this field, freedom is more important than convenience.
About the GPL, RMS itself has said that it's a kind of patch for the current copyright system, and that he's absolutely against the existance of any kind of copyright. I have discussed this with him personally when we invited him to talk on our GLUG last year.
In a perfect world everything would be in a kind of public domain, where the law states that everyone should publish their works freely, but that's just utopic.
I Have read every philosofical document on gnu.org, i have studied the GPL, i have even bringed rms to my country to talk on our local GLUG (http://www.shutdown.org.ar), thanx, i know what i'm talking about. RMS has said a million times that the GPL exists because of copyright law, to fix it. It's RMS desire, and i agree, that copyright woudln't exist at all, and that just laws would be correct, that is, many of the thing that the GPL states should be actually law for all software produced, and for other pieces of intelectual production, and so the GPL woudln't be needed. I Agree strongly with that, as utopic as it may sound.
1 - How can capitalists defend their system after clearly stating over and over that Businesses doesn't involve ethics?
2 - Actually, i would LOVE the fact that Harry Potter and O'Reilly woudln't exist at all!.
Cheap mass-produced, pseudo-literature for stupid kids, and market-driven, badly written. very basic, technical documentation?? Who needs that?.
3 - The GPL is a hack arround copyright. The GPL is about Free Software, it doesn't have a damn thing to do with Open Source. Please read this post: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=147175&thresho ld=-1&commentsort=3&tid=123&mode=thread&pid=123323 28#12332347
Our goal is to have NO COPYRIGHT AT ALL, until then, the GPL is a hack that uses this same fucked up law against itself. One day, copyright won't exist, and since noone will be able to put restrictions on software and other stuff, the GPL won't be needed.
That they just have no concept of what ethics are, and have not such a think as a set of rules. I'm agains Patents, and against copyright. There are many people out there that are pro-copyright. If it's the way they think, and are coherent about it, i just respect it, doesn't matter how much i disagree with them. But in the case of Microsoft, it's not a belief. They only beleive that they have a right to rule the world, and would just do anything that could potentially benefit. If you ask me, i don't think that someone should be granted a patent, under any ocasion. But i also think, that in a world where patents exists, a patent for Jpeg is more logic than a patent for double click. The RIAA is a piece of crap, but you don't see them using Kazaa, Microsoft goes against the same thing that they say.
Yes, but they are not in the filesystem. They are in the stupid windows registry, and are then only known to the Shell, but are not actually in the Filesystem.
Then your Aunte shouldn't use a computer, or should only operate, and have a sysadmin to administrate it. A computer is NOT a toy, and the companys that try to turn it into one just so they can also profit from the iliterate masses are just giving knifes to monkeys.

Here in Argentina. We don't have bandwidth problems, bandwidth should be cheap considering the kind of conections that we have. But, all the bandwidth belongs to a few, that are not so interested in letting others grow, so they resell it at really high prices. So, since bandwidth _is_ a problem, many ISPs have Proxys, transparent Proxys, etc. The most dirty thing they are doing now is transparent proxys that never cleans their caches, content seems to never expire, etc. The other is DNSs that updates it's records all at once, every X days, not taking TTLs into account. I worked for about 2 years as a sysadmin for a hosting company, and this was a nightmare. Once, a customer's website was defaced, we cleaned up, restores a backup for him, but many people was still seeing the old website... for more than a WEEK. A solution to this problem would be a law, that would create a set of standard services that a comunications company may give, with well defined names and categorys, and it should be MANDATORY for companys to market their services using this names, in their comercials too. So, for example, we would have categorys such as "Full Duplex Simetric DSL Conection", or "ADSL, With Proxy, Blocked Ports".
The _real_ operating systems out there (read UNIX) has teached us that permissions are one of the more important stuff in systems security. Unix takes this concept to a new point with the "everything is a file" aproach, so using a single set of permissions (file system permissions) you can limit a user to only see certain files, only use certain programs, or only use certain printers, only connect devices into a certain port, etc. Even windorze and apple understood that this was needed, and they implemented it (In the case of m$, implemented poorly, in the case of Apple, Stolen). And now this guy (Who has proven to be a bloodsuc ker trying to be the new bill gates using the efforts of the Free Software comunity, and not giving back a shit to it (since every piece of crap they make is propietary), they also have got a record on spyware and other shit) Trys to tell us that we were wrong, and that we should just drop permissions all along?, Come on...
