Not the police itself, no. Exactly that government that controls it. I'm overjoyed at your inablilty to present any further arguments. I can only hope your day is as good as mine.
I might be a Coward, but the black BMW makes sure I'm at least not as Anonymous as you are. You're so brave; perhaps I should take you as a role model. I think I will start mimicking your terrible spelling first.
Perhaps the law shouldn't send black BMW's to follow me when I'm in a peaceful protest against the discriminatory deporting my government takes part in. Perhaps I should just do my damn job, and shut the fuck up forever so I can absolutely minimize the positive effect my actions might have on the future of this planet and its many diverse inhabitants, and let the rich politicians and big corporations control my life even more than they are already doing right now. Just send me my monthly paycheck so I can continue being a slave.
I do get annoyed at some users sometimes, but my primary ideology prevents me from hurting anyone; at all. Non-violence is the future, haven't you heard? Your president sure hasn't.
My point, though, is that in order to agree with the police, I would have to agree with the government that controls it, which I don't (even though it isn't as bad as yours;-). My grandfather died under a bus, and I can tell you he did not lie at all. He just died. I'm sorry for you and yours for your out of control alcoholism. Muhahah.
The point is that if you sell your computers without Windows pre-installed, Microsoft won't fund a large part of your advertising campaign, will not lobby for you to their partners, etc. There's a very good reason why so many manufacterers "recommend Windows XP" for using their products.
On numerous occasions, I have been on one side of an argument, and the police have been on the other. Whenever I ask one of them to express their own standpoint, it usually boils down to "I'm just following orders" regardless of their private opinion. So sorry, but that does affirm my ideas about "the pigs".
Although I'm not in defense of the grandparent, some of us are not ready to lay down that kind of loot for our computing needs; my main box cost me less than the $400 mentioned. On the other hand, cheapster "hackers" like myself don't have any interest in running either OS X of Vista.
I agree, personally I have my Debian stable servers set up to automatically look for [security] updates [only] every midnight. I get status reports by mail, and I rarely (2-3 times a year) need to log in to them.
Nah, actually the first computer I ever used was a Pentium 120, let alone the occasional use of gaming systems (NES, Saturn, SNES, Atari) and that really crappy Windows 3.x box we had in grade school, that preceeded my mothers first non-monochrome, non-wordprocessor-only computer.
I'm sorry, but I grew up in the 16+ bits era, so I assumed the 8 bits were to indicate color depth. Wrongly I know now. Damnit, you made me go even further off-topic.
Actually it doesn't work for me either, and I know for a fact that my firewall/router isn't to blame. Seems the/.-effect has many faces.

I don't think this is a valid argument at all, I've found that installing (open-source) software on my debian boxes usually takes less clicks and keystrokes than installing their commercial counterparts under RedmondOS xyz. Look here.

Poor guy, actually thinks the cops are there for his good, too.
Someone needs to mod the parent funny, please, please. Please.

Any damned colour he wants it to be, obviously. ;-)

Yes it is.
Some supercomputer that must've been...
That's odd, I already see that happening quite regularly... Maybe it's time to move.
I agree, personally I have my Debian stable servers set up to automatically look for [security] updates [only] every midnight. I get status reports by mail, and I rarely (2-3 times a year) need to log in to them.
But if Microsoft didn't test it, it has to be crap!

Nope this is not 1978, and it is no longer an 8 bit 16 color world.
Good, because 8 bits makes 256 colors.

I don't think software can be compared to cars. If only I could illegally download that latest supercar...

BSD is not dying at all. Most of the major operating systems are based on BSD, or have borrowed code from it.
Of course; the theme tune is the best thing about the new release. ;-)
