Then THAT'S the reason the plane I was flying on 11/9 collided with the WTC. Lucky me I could get off the plane and landed safely using a parachute.
Isn't there a theory that says whenever you want to check if a software is _really_ user-friendly, give it for your mother to try it. If she can use it easily, then anyone will.
This, of course, assumes your mother isn't a geek or something like that.
what will happen if someone, like my little brother, starts writting random things on a disc on the table like he does to some spare papers that are always there.
In fact, I rarely get any camera recorded movies, because of the usual low quality. Don't we all love TeleSync and (even better), DVD-Screeners? IMHO, camera recorded movies aren't all that worth the download, are they?
I wonder if it would be possible for a big corporation to try to fight their way through the legal system and make Microsoft pay for damages caused by their bad software. I mean, if I can do this with any product, why not software? Why should *I* have to spent thousands on something that is not my fault, not even my main business. If some big corp could fight and win, this would make a greate precedent, and might make them start really worrying about security.
Also, what about the fun of playing soccer with Darl's head instead of a ball?

> And i hate to sound like a crufty old man, but i'm used to the RH tools and don't really desire to learn the in's and out's of a new distro
That's what leads most people to stick to what they are currently using: lazyness.
If people were just looking forward to at least experimenting new things, I suppose neither MS nor RH would be acting the way they are. Well, in theory they could, but the userbase would surely get smaller.
> but i 'spose i'll have to.
Sorry for snipping the end of your phrase. I wish people would think like you in this respect. I see so many people complaining about either Windows bugs or RH licenses that I just cant understand. If they don't like it, why stick with it? I guess everyone deserve whatever software they use, don't we?
I am yet to see a very liquid (or even a gasous) processor. Wouldn't it be cool? Hey, if it would be cool, it would solve the thermal problem inherent to solid processors. Why not make them?
That kind of thing won't work. At least not for the more sophisticated criminal networks, who will surely use encryption to do away with wiretapping. It's like banning guns in the hope that criminals won't get them either. They will still do what they are used to do, but by other means.
if this "virus writers sharing more code" has something to do with the recent windows source code leak. I mean... if windows source is leaked and widespread, that's gotta be the ultimate virus source code spread in the latest years.
Am I really being a troll just because I said something true? Try to run java based things on a i486 to see how painful it is. Java and C#, though it has all its wonders, are not the way to go. They are portable, but so is C/C++ to an extent. It just isn't the way to go.
...as coders move towards high-level languages like java and C#...... and soon Linux will not run anymore on low end systems, either requiring a super machine (like Windows) or running painfully slow. I mean, we all like java, but have you ever seen a normal user application (with a GUI) written in java that is even a bit fast?
Is it really?
There are Linux companies out there that offer support. Those updates are not made by people in their garages.
I can think of several bugs and flaws in Windows/IE/Outlook that are out there for months unpatched. Is this your definition of responsibility?
I mean, do you _really_ think updates on windows are delivered faster (or even fast?), or are you just trolling for fun?
Linux is made with efficiency and innovation in mind, by lots of people around the world that believe in the idea of freedom.
Windows is made with profit in mind, by one big corporation that wants nothing besides seizing market control.
Need to say anything else?
To some extent, piracy helps business. Do you think, for example, that MS would be where it is now was it not for piracy?
Piracy is what brought Windows to +90% of all PCs.
Just like in the real world, where it's the super environment polluter, right?
I guess it's those hamburger diets affecting people's mind up there *smile*

Maybe SCO will sue them for using this technique?

No, but I guess his head should be very light. What might be inside? For sure, it's not brain. :)
Maybe air, or even vacuum

They probably do check airplanes more thoroughly because airplanes are used much more frequently than space shuttles. No?
Why get such a BIOS? Increase BIOS complexity and you will end with a heavy, buggy bios. KISS!
I, for one, welcome our old great Award BIOS!

Imagine how cool when you forgot your hand over your badge and start saying things you shouldn't be saying :)

feeding a program written in Shakespeare Programming Language to it? Should be real fun!
What's his name? Murphy?
One more reason to outsource programming jobs. I mean, it's this kind of people who make the Internet worse day after day.

and not want to fight also... right?
