If you want to read the excerpt go to Amazon. Buy the Magazine (you can you know.) Hell buy the book. Loose the tinfoil hats./.ers are so lemming like in their rush to assume a "vast right wing plot." When more oftern than not it's a simple issue like copyright as in this case.
I am going to do something productive. I am going for a walk.
If I was forced to resort to using Debain as my sole Linux I would switch to BSD. Slackware would make a much better base and I used Mandrake for 99.9% of all computer use including "gaming." I still would perfer Slack as the base for a "standard" Linux. It may just be the fanboyism I have see surounding Debian over the years has turnd me off but having run it I think it's nothing special.
Perins is a smart fellow but he has this one wrong.
Because those 5 countries can turn the planet into a cinder. Don't you know might makes right. They are the victors of the last real war. The UN mostly exists to give them a place to keep a lid on things so that big fire doesn't happen. The US, Russia and China need the UN for that sole purpose. France is no longer relavant.
It doesn't mean they can run the internet just because they have nukes and huge armies. I think most people have forgot we could have a thermo nuclear war if any of those 5 quit talking or felt threatned buy each other.
I can also be sure that the US pays way more than any other nation to support and run the UN as well, no matter how far behind in it's dues' it is. The US pays more than any other nation but for some reason thats just according to the UN. Screw the UN.
Corperate speech is not free. When was the last time you saw a advertisement for tobacco on TV or heard one on radio? Ever see anyone drinking beer in a beer advertisement? Corperate speech can and is restricted by law. The only advertisements tobbaco companies my put on TV or radio are anti smoking advertisements. It's legal to restrict commercial speech.
You mean I don't need Leptoprin? Such an nice looking and emphatic girl too She had me convinced. I am disilusioned. Now you are going to tell me the Video Professors CD offer is not free either and than nice looking lady is lieing to. What is the world comming to when you can't believe lies^h^h^h^h advertising.
Let me get this stright DARPA invented the "internet." DARPA funded by the US government via my tax dollars. Now the UN thinks it needs to control it? I am not confusing the "internet" with the "world wide web." The "world wide web" is something else again in my thinking.
Let me see take ICANN control away from the nation that invented the internet and give it to the UN. Also to demand that my nation (through my taxes) fund the internet build out for Saudi Arabia, China and Iran, bumb fuck Egypt and all points between? I don't think I go along with that. What sane person would and what rational reason would they have to do so? Self interest? It wouldn't be in my self interest.
This is the same UN that brought you Rawanda and Bosnia. The same UN that Lybia chairs the human rights commision for? You think it can run the internet? No thanks. I would rather spend that money on providing broadband to every US citizen first, then Mexico. At least that would be in my own self interest. If that kind of money is to be spent at all spend it in the NAFTA zone.
ICANN is totally screwed up but it can't hold a candle to the UN. Screw the UN.
It can be expected to run like the UN peace keeping operations in Bosnia and Rawanda were massive genocide occured as the UN stood by incapable of acting due to it's own inertia.
The UN has never been held accoutable for the failures of it's breaucrats not will it admit any failures or shortcomings. Just the group that should be incharge of the ineternet.
Why should I pay for internet access for some dirt poor ass backwards country? I pay 55 USD a month for my internet access in a first world country with little fraud or government kleptroacy. I should pay for some 3rd workld nation where all that money can be stolen and the access censored? Not in your wettest dreams will I agree to such a thing.
They fixed that error with a patch didin't they?:-)
God to think I still have family relations in England is most fightfull . Apperenty they really do expect the goverment to care for them from cradle to grave. It won't matter once the adopt the Euro. After a short wilst they be gobbled up and Germany and France will have there way with them stealing away all the last few remaining jobs their culutre and women.
Any adult who believes anything they see on TV advertisement is to lame to be allowed out on there own without adult supervision.
This is blant anti-americanism which is popular right now. I mean the National Enquirer and Star are considered newspapers in the UK. They are considered trash here.
A whole 8 people "objected" to the advertisement.
You go home flamebait this sever is likely located in north America LOL. ( this last sentence is a joke for the humor impared.)
I have been reading the BBC website quite a bit. It seems the BBC (media in the UK in general) are fond of flapping their arms quite a bit and breaking into a panic or outrage. I am wonder if this "trading standards issue" this is an indication that the whole of the UK is prone to this stupidity? Is the UK turning into a nation of pussies and whiners expecting the goverment to protect them from their own stupidity and provide for their every need from the cradle to the grave? God how Britan has fallen.
In 20 years COBOL will still be around and.NET will be gone. The Machines dealing with my water, power and banking were using this code in the 1970's and they still are. It's cheaper than doing it the BillG way.
Message from earth to BillG and MonkeyBoy. Before you start this battle it's over already. These guys shilling for you on this are wasting their time.
I swear I haven't deleted a one. In fact I just got a new drive and migrated all my MP3 stuff over to it were it resides by it's self. I think they are all wet.
Deal with the brats and YOBS and leave fireworks for decent people. That is what really should be addressed. The out of control kids and YOBS that abuse fireworks need to be dealt with not fireworks.
But it's easier to just ban fireworks "for the children" or some such crap.
The BBC website has been going on for a week how fireworks have to be banned in the UK for the usual reasons, ignorance, danger, ileagal use and the ever popular "it's for the children."
I say let the UK have it's fireworks. How about enforcing the laws instead? We have had all our fireworks "safe and saned" here by the ruling elites and they are almost worthless. I hope the UK can hang on to it's "crackers, bangers and rockets." Tossing JDs and YOBS into the can would be better.
Gun Powder Rebellion may not just be a Guy Fawkes thing otherwise one can hope.
"Red Hat's chief executive has said that Linux needs to mature further before home users will get a positive experience from the operating system, saying they should choose Windows instead."
Maybe he should just get his head out of his butt. Perhaps his stockholders would like to let him know how they feel. What a freekin' moron. What he is saying he can't make money supporting the crappy desktop that is RedHat. I am more than sure most people are smart enough to figure out how to use Mandrake, SuSE or one of a dozen other distros.
I can't get over someone so clueless to think the RedHat lock on Linux Servers in the US gives him the right to speak for squat in any other sector of the Linux world. It's to damm bad so many clueless people think RdHat when they hear Linux
You dumb bunny I'll never buy a Red Hat product again.

How much do you want to bet? I have to assume you agree with what I said sind all you can do is attack spelling.

All censorship is bad. Regardless of it's supposed justification censorship is bad. Screw the UN.

I concur.
It's raining here and we will miss it anyhow.
That sucks man.
Because of a conflict with a meeting I missed the last one we could see too.
They also usually win.
The MPAA vs SCO maybe they will wipe each outher out.
Well one can wish.
A pox on you SCO.
Darl may you break out in bleeding boils and sores all over your body.
It's nice to see this clarity in IBM's statement. SCO you are so full of shit.
BTW the article wasn't Slashdotted. I had no problem getting the Grocklaw site.
