Could Google with their new friend Sun make a distro?
Sun has a lot of nice sw, Google has cash and muscle.
How about a keychain(or free bootable CD) Google/Sun/Linux that boots with all java shi^H^Htuff, a working dvd player, flash, plugins, (No mailclient, just a link 2 gmail) Office? yea sure... just not the MS kind
There would be no use for any dev-tools, since it would be a mum&dad distro. But this time it might actually work.
Good idea/Bad idea?
My mum would use it, and when u consider how many mums there are in the world i guess this would make even good old Bob Gates throw chairs about. (My mum calls him bob)
I used to make quick "hacks" in the old days(dos 2.x etc) and had a quite flexible license policy:
1. All use was free for personal use.
2. All use was free for charities(except religious, but thats just me)
3. No armed forces use(or any organisation connected to use or manufacture of arms)
4. For any company see pricelist.
It worked excellent. some ppl loved the sw and made their bosses buy it so they could use it at work to(profit!!)
How about MS doing the same? They would still make lots of money?
Or
Or why just not open up the source? If they just make/use a licence that keep them in control, they would probably even get Vista out the door with scripting, journaling filesystem or whatever they are scrapping to make the deadline.
It would absolutly give back MS its cool. It might even make the workers proud to be a part of it.
But this is yet another example of why linux wont make the mainstream.
Average Joe (or even me with 20 years of coding skills) just wont read a list of supported devices or make his own package that does the same with his hardweare. (even though it sooo easy*irony*)
Why o why cant we have one Linux that looks alike for average Joe, that behaves alike for all average Joes, that gets the drivers and updates from a repository (automaticly out of the box/webinstall/CD)
This release of yet another linux for 100's or 100's of users is, in my view, another example of wasted time. Why cant we all get together a Linux, that just work? ALL updates is automatic, all drivers is located in ONE spot(with mirrors of cource) for millions of users? That would be news.
So until this happenes, i use linux as gateway, server, printservers or wireless accesspoints and windows for my users.
and i'm afraid one that affect most of us (Norwegian Blues:
taste is inversely proportional to lust with a factor of sex.
But then again it might just be me *sigh*
They do say they are trying to loose the pins, but there is NO reason they will remove the pins for power. And why should they?
If they put, like, 4 pins in the bottom they also have a mechanism for aligning the chips.
In Norway we have for some years had a law saying that any shop selling things that should be recycled MUST recive, free of charge, any appliance anu person brings in for recyceling
An other law covers what should be recycled.
No can't have been planned. The writer of sasser proved that he knew enough about programming to that. Even microsoft got sued for doing that, and at x a license he would have been ruined.(hint:explorer plugin thingy)
To make a not yet perfect piece of software skinnable just proves that the developer(team) has lost track of what they really is trying to make. How can anyone say they not prefer a perfect piece of software to a skinnable one at even 97% of perfect. I know perfect software propably don't exist, so please no flaming about that, to point is after all why should anyone make something skinnable in stead of fixing bugs og adding features?
Yea, I know This will send my cool-karma to the pits but at least I can say I focus on getting the job done...
I actually know of a couple that met on the internet because their names had numbers in them. tom and tone is common Norwegian names and to is the norwegian word for 2 so they called themselves 2ne and 2m. well 2m searched for any norwegian girls with 2 as a reference for to(yea he is a real neard) and to this day they still live together. Even got married on the 1.2.3 (1.jan.2003)
And even though 2m and 2ne is not real names it's a cute story.
If I ever get twins i promise to call them the real good Norwegian names Odd and Even(if they are boys that is:-)
Q: Can You see any way the net can be regulated? I have read the other suggestions/queries here and quite frankly it seems that most people(american that is) just dont understand that the net is global. How can we make a set of rules that all users of the net is forced to follow? Do we really want to?
Well, as a Norwegian It actually is more scary that most of the contributions here in this discussion argues on a basis that the net is an American thing. We really need to talk in a global context here. There is more people outside od the u.s. than any other place, and quite frankly an american sollution just wont work. If I make a site with free downloads of something that is legal in Norway(nothing springs to mind, but maybe deccs now that the court have freed jon;-) there is not really anything anyone in America can do about it(except maybe take me to court if i go to the u.s.) And btw why should a Norwegian give a damn about the law in the u.s.? Cause im putting it on the net? Will this make me liable in any country? Personally this is the issue that should be discussed, but what do I know, I'm just a simple Norwegian with a head injury
Yea right tax the net.
Who have the mandate to tax Norwegians/Albani or Korean net-users? How can we differentiate the ones who download and the ones who dont?
no "imagine a beow.. clust.. of these" ?
You are sooo slowing down
takes 1 sec to lose a customer
on
Real's Reality
·
· Score: 1
I have been in sales(on the support side) for maaaaany years, and the first thing we learned was :
It takes more time to get a customer than to lose one, and a lost customer is usually impossible to get back. Well guess what, Real did not know this I guess.
I used Real for years, then I found out they logged my habbits. This made me dump Real, and I'm NOT going back. From time to time I have been checking out new versions, but usually I have stopped my evaluations at their site. When I get to their site and have to really search for the free version I just leave.
I once learned that one should never mix morale and finance (from a priest who worked as in accounting) But I guess he was mistaken in my case. Real tried to scrw me (by logging my habits and by trying to make me buy something I did NOT want, so sorry Real, I wont be coming back...:-p
And even You are denying the model I & III.
Cant remember the specs of the III, but my model I
had a wopping 4kb of ram,4 kb of rom with basic.
the basic had 25 variables(A-Z) a and b was for strings(a$,b$) and i was for arrays. If you needed things like sin you had to code it (wery nice manual) the screen had green/black graphics, and the tape-deck was fantastic for a machine in 1980(or was it 79?)!!
And then the question is "Can they really subpoena an ip address?"
When will we see the first case of :
RIAA vs. 137.xxx.x.x (date/time in case of dhcp)
Shit.... we can even risk not beeing able to do work because our machine has to appear in court.
Will grave looking men starting ro appear at our doors asking. "Is 137.xxx.x.x at home?"
Strange country that US....

Rev.2 will have triangelshaped wheels. The benefit You might ask? Well, 1 less hump pr. rotation.

Or maybe You just dont know enough about it to understand that it isnt that easy?
1. Who's definition of productive?
2. Medicine takes more than that to get to the market.
3. More taxes? Nice....
I agree. You have some nice tv shows.
1. All use was free for personal use.
2. All use was free for charities(except religious, but thats just me)

Just let's hope he's not doing a mod-case
In Norway we have for some years had a law saying that any shop selling things that should be recycled MUST recive, free of charge, any appliance anu person brings in for recyceling An other law covers what should be recycled.
so they can propably get a patent for a jog wheel on a portable videoplayingdevice. after all You are in America (My guess.)

Actually I see a trangel as a Great leap forward from the square wheels. for one thing it has one less hump pr. rotation... (Old joke from B.C.)
