So, the slashdot lameness filter doesn't like the the clip of the microsoft eula I posted because it has too many caps. Well I'm not retyping all of that in lower case, so I guess I'll post another part of the eula that doesn't abuse the caps lock key...
You could have also done the following: CTRL+T, then enter the following search `lowercase online` and you would have found http://www.string-functions.com/case.aspx where you could have turned it all in lowercase
Comparing the price of a CD with a coffee at starbuck.Try a car analogy next time.
Also the fact that she was clearly guilty MIGHT just show that the law is wrong.
And about the rights of the many vs the rights of the few, you can not seriously say that the many people performing 'we all live in a yellow submarine' outweigh the rights of the few (dead) people who made that song.
The things you are defencding would mean that your mom would not be able to sing songs to you as a child, because she would be prosecuted by the RIAA.
So perhaps you are technicaly correct, but all you do is pointing out that the law is st00pid and must be changed.
This generation is working hard to get global warming under control. You know, that what was done by the same people who stopped the Vietnam war or who were anti atomic energy.
You were anti-esteblishement and now you ARE the esteblishment.
You pushed your will through then , you push your will through now. To me that sounds like a bunch of selfish people. And all under the comforting idea that you all did it for somebody else. Sounds like 'think of the children' to me.
The greater good? Don't make me laugh, there was only one greater good and that was yourselves. The difference between you and them is that you took interest in only yourselves and did not even bother to educate your children to care about anything else but themselves.
If you think this generation is a mess, remember who brought them up and blame them.
Secondly, yes, there is Fox News and they tend to feature columnists that are sympathetic to the right wing of American politics.
So why not admit to it? Why istead say that tehy are ballanced and fair? And saying that tend to means to me you have never ever seen any any other broadcasing in the world.
And it is not just the columnists, it is the whole fucking company, starting at the top. Most blogs are more objective and have more integrity that Fox News has.
Oh and they have the facts on many posters here as well.
as they are looking for companies that will want to join. FTFA: "What we need now is more companies participating in the project,"
The fact still remains that even where it is pointed out that many drivers exist in Userspace and not in the kernel, those are the ones that still bother the Linux user.
So what can these 310 developers do? First if they realy have nothing to do, why are there so many things still open? Next they could see where they could help with Userspace-drivers. Sure they will not be using their complete potential, but it is better then sitting around and doing nothing. Perhaps 310 people is too much.
I can imagine that people want to join that, because they want to work on the Linux kernel, because that is the real linux. Well, if there is not enough work, find a new chalange.
That does not mean I would want Greg (or better the name Novell) out of there to ask companies to join, it means that they perhaps should rethink how many people they actualy need and distribute work among those. There is enough to do besides the kernel.
And do not forget people and companies who still have already bought XP legaly previously.
This is good news for the consumer. The ad news is that this will not harm Microsoft in the least, even if EVERYBODY would do this. It will be the computercompanies who will need to caugh this one up.
They will not be able to get their money back from Microsoft. So either they will start loosing money (because they do not make that much on a PC) in Italy, or stop selling PC's altogether.
Most likely the latter will be happening with other companies, like Dell. The result will be that larger companies will not be selling computers in Italy. Tghis will result in lower quality and people who want Windows paying more. So if the consumer wants the same product, he will end up paying more then he does now.
The solution? Have this implemented in the rest of Europe. The European market is big enough to force a change and balsy enough to force Microsoft to pay back the companies in full.
After that South America will follow and then Asia. Africa, Austriala, Canada and Mexico will follow after that. The USofA? They will follow the moment the consumers have some rights, except the right to shut up and spend money. Sorry.
Yeah, lets help the Homeland Security and give up our privecy without them stealing it. Good plan. After all if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have anything to wory about. Right?[/sarcasm]
Oh and it can be very cool to analyze how you can NOT kill one of your mates the next time while still driving as fast as possible like in this German movie. Understand this is NOT happening on the german Autobahn, but rather on a 'normal' street.
networks like CBS, and CNN, and NPR, and NBC continue to spin coverage towards the Democrats
Towards is a bit different then actively undermining the oposition and changing facts as much as possible. A URL I posted earlier today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3kI8LNTqNo
For instance, today someone told me that they believed in symbols foretelling the future.
I once withnessed the following: During a bustrip we all got bored. We started to talk about handreading. One person said it was complete crap and anybdy could do it. He clearly stated he did not believe in it and that he would make things up as he went along.
Again, before he started, he stated clearly that he would be talking generic terms and no specifics. He did and instead of showing people it was complete bull,, used by handreaders, the girls realy believed him EVEN THOUGH HE SAID IT WAS BULL.
People want to believe things like that. It makes then feel easy that the future is not in their own hands. That way they do not have to take ownership of their own decisions. Wether this is $DEITY or something else, is irrelevant. People are lazy and believing that the future is fixed is the easy way out (in the short term).
Not a right as such. But that does not mean that they not should be able to do so. How do you learn trust if you do not trust them.
I knew a girl that was watched all the time by her parents. ALL THE TIME. She was not allowed to go anywhere. That was untill she was 18. Then she was out on her own. Having had no experience of what bounderies should be, she became the school slut in a matter of weeks.
And being the school slut only harms her. Having a whole generation of kids that have not learned what trust and bounderies are will result in a desaster on a much greater scale.
I agree, we should think of the children, but as them being the future, not little people that stay children all the time.
Meh. By then parents will be so busy doing their own stuff and generally neglecting their children that there won't be anyone to watch the monitors, so it all cancels out in the end.
Hey, why don't we let the monitors watch the children. Oh wait... Never mind.
And nowadays revolution does not have to be bloody. It can be done "peeacefull" as the orange revolution and others which were very well organised revolutions.
The problem is that many people do not think they are in any danger. And that will stay that way untill people get informed in another way then Fox New. Seriously, watch the video.
"If we pull this off, we'll look good, and if we get busted, I can say it wasn't my idea."
Isn't that how the USofA president is thinking all the time? If I had a high position in the USofA, I would do the same. It works as nobody seems to be doing anything against it.
I did the same when I was about 5 and a very expensive vase was broken just before my mome came in. I now asume she came in because of the noise of the vase breaking. First I hoped she would not notice, when she did I just said it wasn't me. When that did not work, I tried crying so my mother would ge pity.
I still got punished. So what idiot(s) placed a 5 year old in such a position and why is nobody doing anything about it?
The first ste is to not let people know from whom your recieved anything or to who you are sending things.
So how can this be done? Easy, post it on Usenet. That way there is no link between the sender and the reciever. I post it on a server in Belgium and somebody else can read it on a server anywhere in the world.
Obviously you need to be on-topic, othewise you can draw unwated attention on yourself. So you start to look for ways to do that. Binary groups can be ideal for this. Add Stegography and gpg and you have an ideal way of sending messages to anybody. Each person could be using a different group and/or gpg key.
That way everybody can see your message and perhaps even can find out you are actualy using Stegography, but they will not be able to figure out who it was for or, even if they would be able to hack the information.
e.g. if you post to news:alt.binaries.pictures.wallpaper daily (Please not more then 50 per person per day) daily, as I do I can once in a while add extra information if I so desire as I did today.
The advantages over other ways of comunication, like email or websites, is that there is no way to make a link between people directly. This is nothing more then braodcatsing "Jaques has a grand moustage, I repeat, aques has a grand moustache."
Sure peaople would know that is was send, but they did not know what it ment or whom it was for.
Do they not believe in freedom of exchange of goods? Pure capatalist economics. Supply and demand.
Oh wait, this is Soviet America wher capitalism only is good if you are a big company.
Next you will see that Microsoft demands the name andress and phonenumber from each person who has ever downloaded a Linux distribution.
Also how much of a fight have they put up? "Give us the names." "Only if we have an order" "Here it is." is something different then "Give us the names" "You can have those names if you pry them from my dead cold fingers. We rather do jailtime or die befre we give them to you."
Somehow I believe that it is more the first then the second. Otherwise we would have heard about it when the trial was going on and on and on.
Slashdot Mirror
What is their ROI on that? Perhaps they get back more then they payed for in e.g. goodwill.
It could even be that the AND will rule out those 2 as well. A nice proof is google. The first line returns 15 results. The second one 24.
Generaly speaking, neither are the middle eastern people.
You could have also done the following:

A phone, Googles or any other, can never be as good as a Sybian. Trust me, I have seen all the movies.

Welcome to the bi-party political system.

The list is so big, because they want to include the false negatives as well.
If the false positives rate is 99% how high will the rate of the false negatives be?
Pre-instalation. People are lazy and will run what is on the PC when they buy it.

I am going to a local band tonight in Leuven. A sample is here
Although not bad, none of them make enough to make a living. Yes, the sample is a bit bigger the normal, but that was because of a special occasion.
Addmision to the concert tonight is free. They get their money from the pubowner who gets more people and thus sells more beer. Everybody happy.
