Doesn't the concept of open source render this argument obsolete? I would like a clearer definition of the word "cheap" If he means $$$$, then this flies in the face of the "open source" concept. It appears that we are now in it for the $$$$. If he means cheap, as in inferior quality, then he has a point. However, if it is "open source", how can it be cheap? I mean, source code is source code is it not? Granted, some people do write crap for code. But as shared code, would not the source code be identical? We are then back to the point of Red Hat limiting distribution of genuine "Red Hat " Linux so they can cash in on the trademark. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
It's kinda like a parallel of human society. factions a-line, fighting begins, strongest rule the weak, ect... . I saw the cartoon movie years ago. It was quite good.
Suppose one\some of these mice escaped. Would the resulting offspring be smarter?(assuming that there were male and female escapees) Kinda makes you nervous the next time you walk down a dark alley. Imagine smart mice gangs roaming the back allies of New York. Now there's a horror movie in the making!
Blah..Blah..Blah.. Le me see, from the article I learned: a: Linus likes spas. Imagine that, coming from Finland and all. b: He's not in it for the money c: He's a computer geek d: His mom thinks he's special e: He's very busy
I'm as big a Linux booster as the next, non-MS guy. But tell me something I don't already know
First..let me make one thing absolutely clear. I AM NOT A BIGOT! Having said that, I wonder what the minority communities response would be if whites started the "White Music Awards" or "The Miss White America Pagent". I'm quite sure you would be labelled a "White Supremist" It's all in how you view your fellow man. I for one, see people celebrating their heritage. But, you could make a strong case for reverse discrimination.
What a boing interview. About as exciting as a comman brick! Didn't find one iota of content that was the least bit thought provoking. Me thinks we have a Punk Hacker Kid that's looking to make big moola by using buzz words and getting his 5 minutes in the limelight. Boring...
Actually, recent studies have shown chimps have a tendancy to get involved in homosexual acts. They also appear to regularly commit murder and cannablism. But, to put you in the same class as our close cousins would be doing them a great injustice.
Say what you will..but on a shoe string budget, the Russians have managed to maintain, yes barely, but they have maintained the Mir. That says alot for their savvy. That is it self is an accomplishment worthy of admiration.
I don't think I could ever agree with Quebec Separatists. To quote Bouchard"...We will continue to press forward until the people get the answer they want". The bloody people have spoken 3 times already. Remember, this is the same government that dictates all manner of dangerous language related policies. You might save on your CD-R's, but you better learn to record them in French!
Yes.. and don't forget such memorable TV shows as "Beachcombers" and "Littlest Hobo" I also live in Canada and I'm getting just a little pissed at another grab by the taxman. I already pay closs to a 40% tax rate and it appears that it is only going to get worse. But wait, the Government has announced that it's going to reduce taxes by $500.00 per year. Let's do the math: 500 / 52 weeks = 9.62 / 7 days = 1.38
Holy shit.! I'm going to get $1.38 per day relief. That won't even pay the tax on one %^&$#^ CD.
I agree...but my point was tha registering a domain name to extort money from a large corporation is no better that a large corporation strongarming a domain name away from the average guy.
"Avery" and "Dennison" are common names? I'd buy this if they were "Smith" and "Jones". How many other "common names" has this guy registered. Maybe Panasonic...Nissan...Burger and King
It's all about corporate america and big bucks. MTV does an outstanding job of hiding this by having vanilla flavoured VJs spout mindless dribble. blah, blah, blah. Kinda like watching re-runs. You know exactly what's coming next.
Your observations is very close to the truth. All you have to do is look at the Middle East, Northern Ireland and India. Committing mass murder and bombing women and children, in the name of religion, is not organized religion as I understand it.

Very funny...anal probe...what's an anal probe?
This is a little off topic. But... could you not at least have used a Gif of a Canadian Dollar for the article.
Je ne suis pas contre l'indépendance. I juste contre des politiciens, votés dedans par les personnes, ignorant la voix du peuple. Très dangereux.
I'm still a proud Canadian. So as I so aptly am putting it...FUCK YOU!

If I could just figure out a way to re-write those damn AOL discs I get every month. Huhm...

Yes.. and look what happened the last time. As I remember, when push came to shove, you got your ass kicked.

Yah...like mainlining AOL. Ouch, that one gave me gas.
As Always...quality instead of quantity.
Tis "The Art Of War".
