  1. In God you rust on U.S. High Level Anti-Piracy Post Created · · Score: 0

    Yes, US is a very nice goverment. But with all the foreing aid for some reason they are not liked by people in other countries. Why? Great enigma. I am curious when you will realize that your "kindness" is not a real kindness. Hint: Europe did not accept software patents. Hint: you have the biggest military budget combined with the biggest debt. Hint: In God (all of you) you trust.

    I really do not blame american party. That's the nature of humans to want more money at all cost, even by making copying of information "illegal".

  2. Hey guys, you forget how the world keeps turning on U.S. High Level Anti-Piracy Post Created · · Score: 0

    You must be thankful to pirates in russia, china, india, because of that piracy they finally have skill to produce the things for you (outsourcing). And the american goverment now wants them to pay full price for the work they did receiving for it 5-10 times less than they should. You want to tell that movies and music they do not produce? Hehe, guys, americans do it on chinese equipment. Purchase an IBM risc computer and only wrench will come produced in USA. It's a great influence of piracy on that that you finally have a cheap labour to outsource. That's how things in the world get interdepended.

    Only a complete stupid may think that the knowledge he may get is "unlimited". Farther from Sun - less light. And funny to see a kid that goes around, finds a rock and calls it "new". Then it sees how an apple rolls down, calls it a "wheel" and calls it "invention". And some say that some kids invented the laws of physics. How did the world keep turning before them? ;-) Interesting, will be ever a time that will be no increse in registered patents per year ;-) The kids definitly want to reinvent the whole Universe ;-)

    Considered. Good arguments for what? For those, who already have patended shit like "double-click purchase". But not for the rest. That's even not an "invention", the proper words are "first implementation". All of your other arguments are easily beaten even by a kid, that is not too lazy to ask "why".

  11. "Longhorn" is dead on FreeBSD 5.2 Released · · Score: -1, Troll
    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: "Longhorn" is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered "Longhorn" community when IDC confirmed that "Longhorn" market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that "Longhorn" has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. "Longhorn" is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict Longhorn's future. The hand writing is on the wall: "Longhorn" faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for "Longhorn" because "Longhorn" is dying. Things are looking very bad for "Longhorn". As many of us are already aware, "Longhorn" continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    "Longhorn" is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time "Longhorn" developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: "Longhorn" is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    "Longhorn" leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of "Longhorn". How many users of "Longhorn" are there? Let's see. The number of "Longhorn" versus "Longhorn" posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 "Longhorn" users. "Longhorn" posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of "Longhorn" posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of "Longhorn". A recent article put "Longhorn" at about 80 percent of the "Longhorn" market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 "Longhorn" users. This is consistent with the number of "Longhorn" Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, "Longhorn" went out of business and was taken over by "Longhorn" who sell another troubled OS. Now "Longhorn" is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that "Longhorn" has steadily declined in market share. "Longhorn" is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If "Longhorn" is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. "Longhorn" continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, "Longhorn" is dead.

    Fact: "Longhorn" is dying

    The real world is not designed for kids either.
    The game is not forced upon gamers, _they_ _choose_ what game to play. They want to play violence. And better they kill someone in virtual world than in real one. And if people want to waste some time and money to make the world better - remove the cause, that results in people that need to kill. And simple "banning" won't help - it will be just another rule that kids (read - very good and smooth mirror of reality) will want to break.

    Very good. But let's dig further. Theere's no such a thing as "right". There is a "possibility" and "ablity", and "agreement". The "right" is just a way to know you will not be punished by the stronger one (goverment or master of slaves) for doing something. And today all goes as centuries ago: the stronger, richer ones make money and use them to make the lawys that allow them to make money.

    And don't forget what the Crishna said: you have never been the only cause of what you have done.

  22. it's great on Y: A Successor to the X Window System · · Score: 1

    Whatever you guys may say that this project is no good anyway the way X now performs with all theese toolkits is awful. The one that wants to make it cyrillic (users from Russia, Ukraine etc) will have to turn himself into a cool hacker making all this understand and use cyrillic. There must not be any Cyrillization-Howto, just one click, just one line in config. That's the very big obstacle for X winning users there. There should be a real desktop for real users, and not just english-speaking, fast, consistent, user-friendly, easy to setup, one. That all X misses. Something have to replace it. And this project seems to be capable. Good start.
