No it would not. What it will do is prevent someone who's just as capable as I from creating something. That is unfair. The alarm bells should be going off at the mere notion that what is being owned here is a thought. Are you implying to me that you can somehow infringe on people's thoughts? What's next?
I am really saddened that the mere term "Intelectual Property" doesn't ring any alarm bells in your head. Frankly because this is the case, I feel as tho there is no point to even push this, because I fear that it absolutely fruitless.
Does it makes sense to you to patent a software algorithm?
And to clarify, these companies aren't going to make me do or think anything, what they're going to do is make you pay for general common sense and make you think that it's ok to do so.
Wheras you want to do everything in your power to force everyone to your view of reality. Perhaps not using money, but using whatever resources are at your disposal. I'm not forced to do anything. If some company starts forcing me to do things I don't want, then I stop using them.
You have got to be kidding. Is this what you get out of what I say? Where, in any of my posts have I alluded to this? Where?! I only stated what the cause and affect is of the situation of paying money to people who propagate the false ideals of "IP". I have taken no steps in telling you what to do, merely pointed out that what you currently do AFFECTS ME. That is where I ended my argument.
Alas, you indeed do not understand the reprucussions of your choices and the mere fact that they indeed affect me. It is your refusal to choose freedom that feeds and fuels the likes of Microsoft, who in turn do anything within their power, using your money, to force *every*one into their view of reality. Wake up, child.
How convenient of you to ignore everyone else. It's nice that _you_ can, but _I_ can't. Unless you cannot see this plain and simple difference, you have no business advocating anything at all.
I have developed "real sites for real money" and I say you're full of shit. Either that, or you're in the wrong profession. To miss something this obvious is absolutely astounding.
Yes I am frustrated. Perhaps it was a little dumb of me to make it personal, but what you say hits a nerve. It doesn't just hit it, it stays there and grinds against it, and I'm at the point where I'm just plain pissed. For the love of god stop regurgitating that, it is false, and it is because of this mentality software is shit. It is because of this mentality I have to write shit software, reinvent the wheel, and use other shit software.
So I appologize to you as a person, but I stand by what I said in my previous post as a response to what was said.
and I recall that it was due to engineering reasons that IE was bundled in the first place.
Are you kidding? Have you conveniently forgotten that the only reason the antitrust lawsuit was dropped because of a change in governemnt "policy"?
Well, here's a reminder, they are being sued again, for the same thing.
And as an programmer and a (really innexperienced) administrator, I am frustrated with your attitude. You don't know what you are talking about, yet you are convinced that you understand what an OS should or shouldn't be, and what should come with it. To give you a bit of a clue... if you don't know the difference between a library and an application, you shouldn't even know that there is an OS at all. In this particular case, what you are using is a computer, and you use it to go to the "internet" and you "get" your email. On all other computer related subjects, such as suggesting how to implement code, please, I humbly ask of you, shut the fuck up.
"Why should men be rational in your worldview?" Because if men aren't rational, men get nothing from this world. You got to think to survive... or at least had to at one point.
Ok, this doesn't really make anything easier. I know what you're trying to say, and I have seen this time and time again. But this is hardly the description I would use for 'easier'. Again, this is relative. It is easier to do repetative tasks than to learn something new. It is also much easier to not have to deal with the same problem twice, and by extension, once you've learned how to handle a specific problem, it's much easier to solve it the second time around. Also, do not forget that reinstalling the OS means reinstalling every single app that you need to be on there, again. Frankly, I don't know of any credible source that would claim Windows to be 'easier'. This is a double edged sword and you know it.
I love how your entire post tries to scare the non 'tech saavy' into thinking that what you're actually saying is worth anything. Fine... you ended up at your command line, and you have an ignorant family (and you can play HL2 on linux). See, the problem is the assumption you are making, and that is: Windows is easier. Excuse me? 'Easier' is a relative term, and in this context, you are using it a bit too loosely. I would love to see what happens to your 'oh so easy to use' system after about 6 months, a year maybe... what kind of state would it be in? Format often? Defrag? Reboot? Of course it's easy and not time consuming. How could I have missed the logic behind this argument when I heard it so many times... I just don't know how. Bah, you piss me off.
Hah. That was rich. I hope you get a medal. Do they give medals for stupidity? I didn't give up windows because of availability, and I couldn't care about any market-share (read: meaningless) statistic predictions. I'm amused by how backwards your view of the situation is. I suspect getting your head out of your ass is a good first step.
1. You implicitly assume that addiction is related to genetics, and therefore by letting addicts die you are improving the gene-pool. Please provide some evidence of this.
Are you sure about that? I'm sure he said natural selection.
4. You ignore the negative effects that drug users have on society
Thanks for the stereotype. Next...
I'm picking on you because you seem to be one of those people, that for some strange reason think that you know better than everyone else. If you don't see where that is flawed, then I pitty you. My body is mine, my choices are mine. This is life, not some pink-tinted fairy tale. Tell your kids what to do.
Ok... but did this make you in any way interested in this... "amilee"? Did the actual tactic work? Chances are, you're simply still wondering, but, even more likely, you just don't care.
That's quite the barrage of insults you've mastered there... just before we part, I'll point out that if you are not going to bother figuring out why I inferred what you (wrongly) claim I did, it's actually best not to imagine it either.
but you seem committed to it as though it's a rebuttal to some sort of intimation on my part (as though I suggested somehow that Stallman was against all forms of intellectual property? What are you, stupid?)
Why is this about you? It is my suggestion, not yours. I'm implying Stallman is against all forms of IP. Now here, I admit I could be wrong, minds do warp in mysterious ways in old age.
It is quite interesting that you would get so pissed. I'm guessing you are a little on the sensitive side. My humble appologies. Now go your mary way, lick your wounds.

Please... You can look that up yourself. But if you want me to spell it out for you, Intellectual Property isn't something I agree with.
Whenever they apply for a software patent.

How about. "the freedom to use a program as you see fit". Pretty strait forward, me thinks.
LMAO... I'm the moron? Even your joke sucked. Fuck... I know I'm taking bate here but what nerve....
Listen closely: do not reply, you have nothing left to say.
I have developed "real sites for real money" and I say you're full of shit. Either that, or you're in the wrong profession. To miss something this obvious is absolutely astounding.

You're not only part jewish... you're also fully stupid. Honestly... wtf is this racist crap.
Key word in my entire post was 'relevant'. With such an eye for detail, surely you must have caught my meaning?
So you're saying... The relevant effect of which, is the observation of a relative cancellation of the effects of gravity? Shall we go another round?
You don't get it because you live in fear.

Harag means "to kill" in modern Hebrew and Razzah is "to murder". Fortunately I'm up on my Hebrew :).
