And if we can teach our children that bullying is not socially acceptable, the bullies themselves will face losing their social acceptance.
I have seen bullies before, they're not really part of a social group, their friends are usually other bullies and that's about it. So, your plan is technically already in effect here.
Which do you think is more terrifying to your average teenage; losing their phone, or not having anyone to call?
Not having anyone to talk to?
When I was a teenager: Losing the phone, since I didn't particularly enjoy the company of others in my class anyway. Phone gave me access to people who were not there (although I rarely used it because of how expensive it was).
Have you tried Wine lately? The most recent versions have really amazed me at how close they (finally) are to having something genuinely functional.
I have ran Wine for years.... To run Windows programs under Windows (seriously).
From running XP only applications on Windows 2000, to running older win3.11 applications (that I had to use from University) on Windows XP (otherwise it would take up 100% cpu, and behave really glitchy) etc.
That said, these days I primarily use Linux on my main desktop system, so Wine runs on there now.
There isn't as much demand for male prostitutes. Just think about the % of sleazy straight men to sleazy gay Men. As well Gay sex is easier to come by as men tend to be more permiscious. Thus the requirement for rent boys are lower then rent girls.
Which only reinforces that it is tougher on men who hit rock bottom.
No more insane amount of articles over a phone that just happened to come from Apple.
No more people talking to me about how they had to wait for Apple to release a iPhone, and then they didn't release it in the UK when they released it in the US, so they had to buy it off ebay or something and how it's so special because it doesn't have buttons.
The moral? If something's hidden, for most users it may as well not exist. There's no real reason to hide the GRUB bootloader in the first place, so why do it?
No idea. I will however mention that the Windows boot menu is hidden too though.
If you want to pick on what's mentioned on support forums, here is a sample of two of my computers:
My 'Windows machine' runs Windows XP Professional edition with service pack 2.
My 'Linux machine' runs Kubuntu Feisty.
I don't really see a major problem with the name of the version, I also don't see how Windows is better (infact I find the naming worse with the service pack non-sense and 'edition' stuff).
when you're done, come back and try to tell us with a straight face that windows' backward compatibility is anything more than an overflowing toilet of misguided kludges.
The facts I stated are real. No amount of tales will change that.
So because you can kludge your way around the problem, it does not exist?
The problem I discussed was not quite the issue you brought up. As your issue didn't exist except in a specific instance.
My point was that none of that work is needed on other platforms.
Your point was on binary compatibility, not shared resources. And guess what, even Windows has issues with different versions of shared resources. Just try running a C++ application compiled with the latest windows xp sp2 platform SDK on a Windows XP (no service pack system). msvc71/msvcr71 may exist on Windows XP, even have the same APIs, but it won't be 100% compatible either (can cause runtime errors).
Additionally there have been past bug issues with riched20.dll, where new versions caused problems with programs compiled with older platform SDK packs and so on (can cause runtime errors).
Windows is one of the best OSes when it comes to backwards compatibility. It's not perfect, but comparing it to the insane mess that is Linux is just idiotic. Linux can't even manage binary compatibility between current versions, never mind older versions.
Fortunately I haven't run into that issue. Never had a issue with Unreal Tournament under the various versions of Linux I've used, nor have I had this issue with the text games I own from the early 90 (which I don't have the source to either). Many others don't have this issue either with games from Loki and so on.
Now, if you want to complain about issues related to shared dynamic resources which are from different versions of glibc and so on, you have a point -- But if you know your application is going to be binary only, you can take many options to get around the issue from static compiling to making C++ interfaces.
The reason most devs show no interest in doing this is that 90%+ of linux users refuse to pay for software, either stealing it, or just not buying it. This is why the platform is (rightfully) ignored
That sounds more like a Windows user issue. With pirate copies of Office, Photoshop, Windows, Games etc.
It's very rare I come across a personal machine with Windows that doesn't have some sort of pirated software running on it.
Personal Linux machines I have come across on the other hand, well, I can't think of ever seeing pirated software on one.
Linux usually won't let a program root it as easily as Windows will, due to all the sensible security design that gets in the way.
I've ran Steam and some of Valve's demos under a limited account under Windows.
And those applications didn't run under a Administrator account at all when running.
So there may be a certain liability just from having a Steam client that doesn't allow you as much security through obscurity.
I have no idea what you're talking about here. Steam doesn't have to be opensource to run on Linux. Hell, I've ran it under Wine under yet again, a normal user account.
I stand corrected. libc however is still LGPL. Additionally the older releases of coreutils are still under the GPLv2, so it's not like the 'right' of using the ones they're currently using has been taken away.
Wine is usually a pretty piss-poor substitute for a native port.
Really it depends on the application.
Yeah a lot of stuff "works", but with little graphical glitches, significantly impacted performance
Yeah, WoW running faster on the same hardware under Linux is definitely a significantly impacted performance issue... Wait? What?
and an unexplained crashes.
I've had very little problem finding out what exactly was causing Wine to crash over the years (pretty much running a program off a terminal window and then looking at what was written there after it crashed was generally enough to figure out what had happened).
The experience wasn't the same. Like taking a rusted out old Corvette with flat tired and plastic over the windows down the street. Sure you're driving a 'vette, and it technically works; patch up the tires and you might even be able to do your daily driving in it. But pretending that it's nice to drive is just a fantasy.
My personal experiences with running games under Wine have been favorable. I could easily switch from fullscreen games to the desktop without having to wait at all for screen to go black.. do something then show me my desktop, it instantly gave me my desktop. Game playability was pretty much the same, I haven't noticed graphical issues in games I've played either.
When did you last try Wine by the way?
The Mac WoW client though (which IS native), runs simply amazing. I really wish Blizzard would come out with a native Linux version, and certainly applaud EVE Online for their effort.
The interesting thing is that certain applications, such as Firefox perform slightly better under Wine than they do under their native ports. That said, I tend to always prefer the native ports since they're better integrated with the system.
Yes, the kernel being licensed under the GPLv3 could harm them, but Linus has stated that he's not interested. The only time he considered doing so was for ZFS support. But then FUSE came along and ended up providing the support for the filesystem under Linux.
TiVO likely uses some utilities and libraries from the GNU Project, such as glibc and coreutils, and when GNU switches to GPL3, they won't be able to make use of future versions or patches from that source.
Actually glibc and coreutils are released under the LGPL, which are far less restrictive on what you can do with them.
TiVO may be safe with regard to the Linux kernel itself, but "Linux" tends to be a bit more than that. Unlike BSD, Linux userland utilities come from all over the place. If people start licensing these things as GPLv3, then TiVO has a problem.
Tivo essentially built their entire own userland. Again, I can't think of any software packages in particular that would effect them.
Wow, you must have thought about for a long time. The whole reason for the GPL3 is to stop companies like TiVO. Some people object to TiVO being able to base a product on Linux but then not let the Linux community pull it apart and play with it.
Linus has no intention of licensing the kernel under GPLv3. TiVO doesn't have a problem.
I am interested in finding out software that is used for such purposes which will be licensed under the new GPLv3 and which companies are effected.
What Linux software is currently used that would be licensed for the purposes mentioned in the article which would go under the GPLv3? I can't think of any.
The only issue I have ever had was having to install a package via apt-get for broadcom support. Everything else worked out of the box. I wouldn't say the issue is as dire as the article claims.
I do help out on Linux help channels. When it comes to broadcom, the users are installing ndiswrapper, doing a tonne of switches which is conflicting with the internal driver for broadcom (which just needs the driver firmware package to work -- can't come on the install CD due to licensing issues) and then get frustrated that it isn't working.
All they needed todo was install a package normally, and the device would of worked on next initialization.

The only copy protection you need is something to detect you're inserting a disc/disk into the system, then have a black guy which raps with artificial intelligence to interact with the user.
