  1. Green Dam is not mandarory to run on Google Suggest Disabled In China Due To Porn · · Score: 2, Informative

    The software is required to be delivered with by manufacturers on harddisc or one CD. It was never intended to be required to run as a user [wikipedia.org]. The scope of the software is mainly parental control. This hole thing in the media about censorshipware sounds like yet another propaganda campagne by the West.

  2. Re:SharePoint? on How To Manage Hundreds of Thousands of Documents? · · Score: 1

    I remember endless stories of troubles with Sharepoint. I think it's very buggy by design (one example: it stores it's users on multiple places, not in 1 db). You need enormous quantities of hardware and a large amount of money on licencing to get it running. Microsoft is making lots of money on support I guess, especially since the release of this product. It works not well with non-microsoft software (like browers). When I was using it it had no support for non-microsoft formats, maybe this has changed. I think it's more proprietary than Alfresco which is released as open source.

    Let's brainwash them with our 'objective' American version of history!

    You "know" or you have read what they write themselves ? There exists no thing as objective perspective. Looking only trough one eye gives an image without perspective. You should read both versions of the truth. Simply claiming that Tibet is an occupied country is the propaganda version of history that the Daila Lama spreads with the help of the CIA and western idols. Notice that he has little support from the Tibetan population for his vision.

    Actually the "massacre" is a myth created by US-propaganda: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/eo20080721gc.html

    Why do these Americans always have to complain about the problems with other countries democracies? It's not that theirs is so perfect. If you want to save the rest of the world than start with trying to get your troops home (also from Afganistan). A lot of these human right complains are masked military or economic conflicts or just plain US-aggressions. The US-government is full of criticism about human rights but refuses self-criticism. The US also has censorsip, political prisoners and torture. It has the highest number of prisoners in the world! Learn about the crimes of your own government. Start working on your own democracy.

    It depends on what you call free. The US has the highest number of prisoners per 100.000 residents in the world.

    Actually that is not true. Tibet has a strong historic relation with China and both sites are manipulating history in order to use it as a propaganda weapon. Tibet has been part of China throughout history but ties were not always clear. At times there was a lot of autonomy but at important events in history it acted like a part of China. Anyway, it would be a good idea to read what the Chinese think about it.

  9. Webmin on Cross-Distro Remote Package Administration? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I recommend Webmin which 100% FOSS. I have found it reliable, flexible and feature-rich.

  10. Re:well, this part makes me wonder if I can share on Stallman Unsure Whether Firefox Is Truly Free · · Score: 1

    Users in need of specific features will pay for the development of the software. Or software could just be created in order to sell services. It's not because software is released as free software that there is no money to be made. One of the many already existing examples is openvista, software for hospitals.

  11. Sad... on ISO Relevance Questioned After OOXML Appeals Fail · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's sad that non of the countries tries to take the appeal on the next level, the Secretaries-General, because it would show us how high the corruption in ISO goes.

  12. Re:Good Luck... on China to Build a Zero-Carbon Green City · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In Belgium we eat lots of pork. The pigs are kept in enormous stables and because we do not have enough land to feed the pigs we import it from Latin America where they burn rainforest to grow soya. Because the pigs farmers do not have lots of land they have too much manure. This is the main cause of ground water pollution in Belgium. I think similar problems exist in the US.

  13. Re:New Headline: on KDE 4 Uses 40% Less Memory Than 3 Despite Eye-Candy · · Score: 0

    But the versions of Gnome following 2.14 also had memory improvements. I think 2.14 used more memory than the current 2.20 I am running.

    Maybe the selection wasn't always completely unconsciously ?

    I suggest moving to Cuba. Help build the new humanity.

  18. Re:Mono vs .NET Framework on Mono: A Developer's Handbook · · Score: 1

    Yes. For me mono made me create my first linux desktop application. I could learn some coding at work and I am taking a course on .NET. It hasn't yet the fancy tools such as visual studio but you can use them if you really want.
    It is also possible to buy this book and start writing your applications using monodevelop which offers alot of usefull features.
