I got that statistic from Seminole County Public Schools on a handout dealing with gifted children as a sort of guide for parents. You can ask them to send you one you brainwashed liberal drone. Be as subjective as you can be, you gotta be good at it.
One thing you forget is that the people have no control over what happens. The government is absolute there. Not to mention that the single over riding factor of communism is to eliminate capitalism. Try reading some Marx then look at what Stalin and Lenin have done. Not to mention Mao and see just how much of a utopia was created. McArthur was right. We should have nuked China back in the Korean war.
Hmm, I think the Cuban issue is slightly different. It is an illegal embargo by the US which contravenes many different UN regulations.
My God! That is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard! The UN is not supposed to have control over US law. WE are a sovreign nation whereas only we can say what goes on internally! Thats like me crying to the police that the Smiths next door are letting their children swim sooner than 30 minutes after eating. You liberal drones are worthless. You believe what you see without comprehending what reasons things exist. Carrots are blue because the 6 O'clock news told me so. Whatever the US does is none of the UN's business.
One thing which I haven't seen mentioned yet on any of the posts is that certification provides a backdoor the kids right out of high school who were so smart they weren't cost effective from the administration's standpoint. One third of all high school drop outs have an IQ over 140 which is well into the "gifted" range. Its not right to crucify their futures because of unyielding school systems and an elitist grading policy.
Amen! One thing which often goes neglected is the main reason for its implementation in The Constitution. A system of checks and balances were designed to pit corrupt politicians against each other so gaining control of the government would be much more difficult. But one thing the authors didn't take into account is partisan politics. We are inandated by Democrats (as the supposed liberals) and the Republicans (the supposed conservatives). Unfortunately this has become bible in our society. People defend it as the truth like an animal backed in a corner. It's so subjective its pathetic. Both of them frequently rape the Constitution by passing un-Constitution bills and don't convict other guilty politicians (Fuhrer Clinton). Even if the check and balances became unbalances the final power was left in The Peoples' hands with their right to keep and bear arms. So how do you obfuscate this fact? Misinform people via public education and the media (govertainment). You can hate guns all you want but DON'T take my right to own them away. We should look at how Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao treated guns for a look at how our country is going to be shortly.
Now contrary to what you may be thinking I am in favor of gun control. Gun control is being able to fire accurately.
I went to get on Napster this evening and it told me I banned by Metallica. Hypocrisy in Action What really ticks me off about this is whole the music industry is using Metallica as a puppet. They're "artists" protecting their "art." An "artist" is merely another catch-phrase being hurled lately. Lets call drug dealers "street pharmacists" then. They're just MUSICIANS who make MUSIC not art producing artists.
It's funny how their executive bosses who are making ten times what they are just happen to be so quiet during this ordeal. But people already are weary of the executives so they use one of the people's favorite "artists". It's just political propaganda they are feeding us over the mess. Blur the facts, confuse people as much as possible. Create FUD. Typical guerilla tactics.
Metallica endorsed people taping their concerts just a few years ago but these people were never kicked out of their concert much less had their players taken away. So how is that any different?
Another quirk in this fiasco is Paylars.com. Thankfully they have only recieved $261. Interestingly enough there is a line below the logo in the upperleft hand corner that states the site is not affiliated with Metallica.
IMHO, music should under some license similar to the BSDL/GPL. It would allow people who had the love do it for the love of it. Not a gaggle of suits telling us what the new trend to consume is. These "artists" don't deserve to be making well over ten million dollars a year while some government employee who designed weapons is now homeless after defense spending cuts and Vietnam vets who are missing limbs live in a cardboard box. Metallica has a lot of gaul going after their fans who have spent hundreds of dollars on albums, merchandise, and concert tickets.
The URL they want you to go to Infringe? is basically an admission of guilt on your part. Just having some Metallica mp3's on my computer doesn't mean I obtained them from Napster nor does it mean that I transfered them on Napster. Being on a 28.8 doesn't give me much overhead so I can't necessarily transfer any even if I wanted to. I had (threw them away twenty minutes ago) several Metallica albums. Maybe I just made some mp3's from the albums? Or who can say I didn't obtain them from some dime-a-dozen ratio ftp?
I tried editing my registry after deleting, reinstalling and creating a new user name but I was stilled banned. I even attempted to get on from multiple ISPs. They couldn't be banning entire IP ranges, that is too clandestine. So I did a regedit looking for any Napster entries in my registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Napster was the only entry to be found. I went through the uninstall/reinstall/new user process again but I am still banned. I don't want their software on my machine which I'm not using! I was never told what exactly I am guilty of. No specifics were mentioned at all. Only ambiguous mentions of infringement. What exact songs I am guilty of "illegaling" owning?
Why so much anger? Each has its advantages and disadvantages as do other *nix variants. Maybe someday you'll come to realize we are on the same side; not that this is some kind of jihad anyways.
Now what exactly do userland tools have to do with Linux having security problems. Those are the userland tool problems, retardo. More BSD faggots trying to obfuscate the issues. That's why you guys are losers. So then userland tools have nothing to do with security? I never made an personal attack on you or did i say something wrong like "Linux sucks." I should just leave the 14 year olds to their rpm problems.
I really don't understand the FreeBSD people, they want to keep the base system completely under that license, but I don't think their tools have evolved like they should have evolved. Their kernel is great, but their tools, their userland, is just ancient. It needs some updating.
Funny how this bit of ignorance comes from one of the largest penguins out there. Miguel de Icaza! Miguel's Incompetence
Miguel is wrong.
I never find core files for the stock OpenBSD binaries.
When bash.core stops being found, perhaps he can make some claims.
When they stop having security holes, perhaps they can start to claim that their userland tools are non-ancient.
When they stop calling mktemp(), inet_addr(), and strcpy, then perhaps they can start to claim something like that. Their source code is unmaintained. Theo's response
The entire BSD unfriendliness is merely a lie propogated by the Linux zealots. It is very similar to the way the AT&T type UNIX vendors claimed that AT&T style kernels configured themselves. It is more like they forged blindly ahead then begged for forgiveness when something went inevitably wrong. Many crossovers here...
This sort of elitism is one of the reasons they have so few users (compared to linux), IMO
This kind of ignorance could only come from an Anonymous coward on slashdot. Time to dispel this sophistry as well. Voices from the Open Source Revolution Learn why those nasty Net/2 lawsuits crippled BSD from reaching the masses!
We see the little Mozilla pic every other day but anytime there is a BSD story, slashdot won't use Chuck as the picture. Even though this is a more Apple area I just thought I should bring this some attention it deserves. Daemon News
Now if a BSD'er did something like this it would surely be flamebait. Not to mention this was moderated +1. And who says slashdot isn't for the ignorant zealots? Looks like this will be given a score of -1 for me. Hypocrisy in action.
UNIX cert is a joke. Corporations are just crazy over it though. ISO9000(9001)is something companies brag about having a higher level of. You could ISO9001 shooting yourself in the foot as long as it was properly documented. The certification is only as good as the test is. Look at drivers licenses; there are still a ton of horrible drivers on the road. MCSE is another perfect example. Most of them can't even tie their shoes unless MS had a program that would do it for them. The cost of these classes are ridiculous. I could buy a book or just rtfm for $30 or for free. Look at the way the RH has a special class just on security. If you have to take that class on that you've already lost.
I said Debian was the only one who abstained from this trend. Linux as a whole is VERY fast moving but a minor-minor revision in the kernel and GNOME doesn't merit a new release from SuSe and/or RH. It just proves to you that they're only in it for the money.
It's a stupid article that makes a lot of false assertions written for people who won't ever know the difference.
Amen! to that brother! But this is slashdot and this kind of garbage is allowed to exist because it is pro-linux. This is coming from an HP-UX lover btw just to avoid a BSD vs Linux war.
All the large Linux venders (except Debian) are just pumping out releases every month now. A lot could be said of this but I'll let you come to your own conclusions...
Slashdot Mirror
So you like the idea of being constantly told what to consume?
We should not teach any of these kids Microsoft-centric languages like VBScript, WordBasic, etc because they'll make the largest worm yet by accident!

Amen! Thats the beauty of the BSDL. It is pro-capitalist. Free is good but not a necessity.

Relating user base to OS quality is such a pathetic analogy.
Now if a BSD'er did something like this it would surely be flamebait. Not to mention this was moderated +1. And who says slashdot isn't for the ignorant zealots? Looks like this will be given a score of -1 for me. Hypocrisy in action.

mAIsE: then what makes RHL so superior to fbsd to cause such a clamor other than it's stigma?
