It won't be "anonymous" now that he's got it posted on Slashdot with his username listed...lol. Hope you're looking for a new job already, and from the sound of it...you don't need to work for scum bags like that anyway.
Yes. It's the only way for Linux to truely survive. To change the system, you have to start out with the current one. However, the last time I checked, SCO was pretty close to extinction already...lol
If you make good media (music,movies,software,books,etc), most people will buy your stuff after they see that it's good. Since radio/tv do such a horrible job spreading good media these days, most of us look to alternative means, such as file sharing. I always "try before I buy" when it comes to new CD's for example... Continuing with that example, if you are making crappy music where only 1 or 2 songs are worth my time, I'm not gonna buy your crappy product. I know many of you have been burnt in the past from buying a CD because you liked a song or two you heard off of it, but hated the rest of the album. The same goes for all other forms of media too (*except maybe movies). Basically what I'm saying here is that "illegal" file sharing is a new radio/tv for a new generation and the only people who are going to be hurt by it are people making crappy products.
X.org is better because it sees much more rapid updates, there is an elected comittee in charge of it now, and they are converting most of the code to modular components. As an end user, you should not see any difference anyway though.
Hmm.... I just tried going to both "spreadlinux.com" and "spreadlinux.org" and apparently they're both registered, but have blank servers running them. I think if people got together and rallied behind Linux in general (who cares what distro you use!), that we could see some really cool things happen.
Ohhh..... So they suggest using Solaris instead of Linux...interesting. Haven't hundreds upon hundreds of bugs and holes been found in their code since it was released recently? And doesn't the new "open solaris" have the same forking issues? What a load of b/s.
How long are we gonna let people say things like this before something happens? I'm sure the big corporate Linux distro's like Red Hat, Suse, etc. could possibly be losing a lot of money from these sort of lies. How come none of them are stepping up and putting in a lawsuit or two? Does the entire Linux community need to start taking up donations to defend itself through advertising (something like a SpreadFirefox.com)?
Same here..I've had 50 invites for over a month now, just sitting there.
I don't see how Gmail is "open to the public" or whatever yet though.... there's no link on the main google.com page and when I log into my gmail account it still says BETA in the corner... did someone jump the gun or what?
Slashdot Mirror
Umm...it's not like I did it on purpose...I didn't mod my own posts..lol.
I think just "Ubuntu - KDE Edition" would be a more appropriate name.
yeah? what's up with all the K stuff? Did Ed Boon and John Tobias invent KDE or something? lol...
You must have missed the news this morning...lol.
Can't we all just get along? ;)
I thought about that too...lol.
You'd be better off watching this documentary instead. Comes out on DVD in April, but it's pretty easy to find on file sharing networks ;)

That's the problem though, we're not talking about "marketing material" here... These types of "studies" are being listed as facts, not opinions.
"Media" was referring to music, television shows, books, software, movies, etc... not "the media" or "big media" ;)

I don't really see why this was moderated as "funny"...lol. I was being serious ;)
Once again proving that "illegal" file sharing only helps good media and hurts bad media.

Awww....I was looking forward to trying out the new Google Linux distro :/
I've never had trouble with the reload...do you have some weird extensions installed?
Some people just don't know when to quit...lol

Well, they had to download, install, and then try out AIM, MSN Mess. & Yahoo at one point too...
