BY the last breath of the LEDS that glow
I'll have revenge upon man pages and info()
Smile in his face I'll say "come let us go
I've a livecd of gentoo"
Sheltered inside from the buffer overflow
Follow me now to the root dir below
Playing with wine as we laugh at the 8mime
Which is causing the mail to be slow
(What are these ipchains that are blinding my server farm?)
Fragmented packets die each passing day
(Say it's mount -t vfat and I'll hdparm)
You'll feel your spam slipping away
You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to use good GLUE
What price the Crown of a King on his throne
When you're source is locked away all alone
(chmod me my dir and just name your reward)
Users complain with each quota I lay
(Give me a GUI in the name of the Lord)
You'll forget the machine as it crunches away
adapted from alan parsons project- a cask of amontillado
Filesharing....
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
we are ripped and shared away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
filesharing is here to stay
[chorus:]
Smashing through the boundries
RIAA has found me
cannot stop the filesharing
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the filesharing
Cannot kill the family
filesharing is it for me
filesharing
[End Chorus]
Crushing all leechers, mashing non-seeders
never ending latency
Hungry violence leecher, feeding off the seeder
Breeding on insanity
[Chorus]
Circle of Destruction, RIAA comes crushing
Powerhouse of anality
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the filesharing
well I truly hope John can make it work. I fear however that I-tunes publishing will knock him out (along with the rest of the industry) but at least apples drm is not ridiculous...
Who cares about gaming? When you have a linux box you can have fun resolving dependancies, building packages and simply netcatting your little brothers porn traffic!!!
Imagine Provider A sells music and other media content without restrictive technology. Provider B has strong restrictions. Artists who publish with B will not benefit from "bootleg cassettes" to gain popularity (think of Metallica...)... Artists who publish with A become popular, Provider A ends up selling the most popular artists....who makes the money?
Does anyone know it it is actually legal? I checked the paperwork for my Airport Extreme and it clearly states that the license for use in many european countries is excluding outdoors use..
DNF is a myth, a rumour, a faecetious joke.. it never existed and no-one has ever seen it.. It's software for the x-files... it brings a tear to my eyes.. *sniff*
Hurd may still present a good opportunity. It actually reminds me a little of Rhapsody's beginnings at Apple. The concept is very sound and as Linux with it's growing boy of a kernel steams headlong onto the desktop and "rich" platforms, hurd may possibly be next high performance open source platform.
Okay, under the caveat that every PC user buying OS-X will not buy a mac... I can see that.. However I am not sure that the caveat holds up for all pc users. I think that with the advent of low cost macs users exposed to the OSX interface and applciations would be more inclined to purchase a mac when upgrade time comes round..
But of course such a move might entice Redmond to compile their products to PPC platform.. and who would care?

Yep triple platform here... and eh.. windows really does suck a frog out of a lemon on any day of the week. Linux only on alternate wednesdays..
Yep.. I remember.. we had just got a II GS (they sold em till about 87 I believe..) after we got a mac... funny eh? But the school was an Apple II shop so the mac stayed a loner.. except i the design class we had two of em and that was where I really learned to love the thing.. Mac CAD.. now that was the way to go about a school project.. boy did that rock... *sigh*
The best thing for Apple the *computer* company right now might be to spin off or float iPod as a separate division, much as 3Com spun off Palm. use the massive cash raised to do something exciting for the computer line like, I don't know, buy Sun or something! Apple would then be selling both low-end, mid-range, and high-end Unix products!
I think you missed the point at last Macworld.. Jobs is going for the total, "rich" computing experience and that means Ipod/Itunes is central to the strategy. Spinning off Ipod/Itunes would basically mean nothing has changed since 1999.. The MiniMac and Ibook range are tog et new clients into the fold.. as Jobs puts it, to get the new users introduced to OS-x and annex all the integrated software, I-Life... Once you have a mac in (almost) every (pc)household you can be sure that Itunes will be the monopolist on the music segment. I suspect that Itunes may just be what necks the music industry as we know it, they will all be slaves to Jobs,. Just look and see what Sony does.. they would like to compete with Apple on Music but they won't, they will bend over and take it up the firewire...
I agree in the sense that apple should maintain its focus on developing products. However, their software is really amazing stuff. Just go figure what it would cost you to get the functionality that comes standard on a Imac/Ibook and you basically are getting the hardware for free!
However I see no reason to NOT port OS-X to the Intel platform.
Well I can't speak for the rest of the world but I got the Ibook because of a (december 2004) 800 euro price difference that I simply could not excuse . Now they have taken the price diffrence down to 500 Euro and the hardware upgrade to the p-book means it makes sense. This was a necessary upgrade to the P-book and it is now worth the extra dosh. This being said, for 999 the Ibook is hard to beat.
Why do people moan about other people being happy for the success of a man with vision and leadership. Some of us who have worked with his products for over two decades (gees I am old..) have gained alot of respect for him. He has really made a differnce by thinking different. Jobs is the Che Guevarra of the computer industry except Steve didn't get killed. If you don't him, don't click the links.
I don't troll around on Gate's items...
I am happy Jobs is sucessful and I apreciate and understand his vision, I have for probably longer than you have been using a computer.

perhaps.. but perhaps we should get a soundbite...
Speaking of which, does anyone have a link to that video with gates getting boo'ed at the Macworld conference?

LOL!!!
WOZ RAWKS!! But I guess they both did alot for the industry!!
LOL!
ok your amiga was cool...

Maybe the fact that Jobs is still in business?
EFF Defends the apple Ipod here and will defend ThinkSecret against Apple there
Funny world but it shows that EFF and their staff/volunteers are standing for principles and not products/behaviour
LOL!
.. as for consumers, well.. aw go ahead and boycott the buggers!
How cute and funny this may be I still think business should make a business decision
