Cost isn't just in components. Ever heard of employees like the cable guy? You know the guy who provides services? Services, S-e-r-v-i-c-e-s, you know like "work".
It seems that anytime anyone says anything critical about Linux, you guys dismiss them as bought off.
It's been covered too many times. Informing people about new things is a draining, sometimes infuriating process. Frankly, I'm tired of the god damned dependence on the "human" voice for answers. Do some homework.
No one reads past issues.
No one reads faqs.
People just want answers. It's inevitable in a world of 6 billion people with a dozen tasks, bills, needs, and other distraction and only 24 hours/day to accomplish them all.
And in regards to the last comment by emmett, can't you apply the same logic to MS Outlook and the macro/vbs virus'?
Haven't you ever heard of context?
The problem with Outlook is that it employs scripting that has no permission structure.
In fact Linux better get a permission structure that treats apps as separate users or we're fucked.
The problem with scripting in Outlook is that vbs interacts with the OS instead of with Outlook's functions.
Your whole system instantly belongs to the writer of the scripter rather than you granting access. In fact this what Vendor Certificates are for, to provide a permission structure.
Just set up a policy in the company that says hands off w/o review. Linus does that for christ's sake.
Objectivists do not denounce charitable giving.
They do however argue that giving a small amount to a capable person out of luck will produce more successful individuals able to help those not yet aided than pumping great amounts of money into institutions that have become corrupt, ineffective and possible destructive. Any form of slavery including that perversion of capitalism called corporatism is anathema to Objectivism.
My personal belief is that Rand is rolling over in her grave to see the kinds of people claiming to be objectivists.
How many times have you filled out a form for say getting a new hard drive cheap online.
Honestly, I think there's a worse trend than stealing (all my mp3s are of CDs I own). Convenience-ism. Stealing indirectly deprives a vendor of the support, if not the incentive, to do business. Not all incentives are monetary, some people work to produce products that give them peace of mind.
But convenience-ism? How the hell can someone transfer money without source and destination info?
It's like driving a car without conservation laws.
Sure conservation laws make accidents deadly but they also make everything else possible.
We're talking about companies who store your data, your website. If you want to break into a site on geocities, you have to break into geocities first. But then you've just broken into every geocities site.
If a company chooses to ignore security, who do you turn to? Daily gov't crash tests? Yeah right.
Your door and the classic case we're talking about are completely different. Trust me on this one: You do not know if the lock is broken when companies are the topic.
Additionally, RE, insofar as we consider it a right, is pretty much based on free speech I think../I>
You can't pull an idea out of your ass. You have to use easily acquired materials, efficient designs. There's only a few feasible designs for any device, the rest are crap, guaranteed. Think about it. How many of the chemical elements are suitably organic? Out of over 100, less than a dozen.
Or perhaps that's a bad example. How many of them are useful in a variety of products?
Physics is a science. Anything you do in the beginning of a project will haunt you later. If you try to improve one thing you will cause another to fail.
You... really... want to... hang... your theory... on that? Is it okay to lose your job?
2.Do you think that Fair Use is as or more of a fundamental right than the right to education or equal treatment before the law?
It is not like but the same as those rights. Without fair use those rights disappear. The MPAA is violating my ability to educate myself about a product I own.
Reverse engineeroing is the hallmark of every technology industry. It proves understanding, it demonstrates effective use of resourcesm, and above all shows that people are generally aware of the laws of physics and the limits they place on innovation.
That's right folks. You can't just pull an idea out of your ass. Physics demands that you prepare for future changes. It demands design using easily produced materials. It demands that you understand what it is you're making and specifically demands that you understand that not only does one idea build on a previous idea but that because only a few select materials are appropriate for a product there is no other way to innovate.
You have no choice but to first copy then change a few details. Originality is useless and physically impossible. Physics creates reality. People do not create physics. Learn that.
Innovation is only the act of changing something to something it wasn't originally imaged to be or to improve in some way.
They are violating my right to equal treatment under the law by pursuing DeCSSers who produce a piece of software that copies poorly while not following up on the perps who just stamp one disc to another disc using much better software which does not even DeCSS.
People have lost jobs, sitehosting, reputations, have been branded as criminals, have been sued over INTERNATIONAL borders.
But comparing your ability to watch a movie This also affects one's ability to make movies. It affects the ability of independents to make movies in popular formats without kissing ass to a group they've never met and may not even wish to do business with for an amount of money better spent finishing their arts education.
Being able to compete in the market is just as important as being able to walk freely. These are different times. No corporation is going to kill a guy for competing. That's too damning. Even without a trial.
With DeCSS it's possible to make a compatible HARDWARE player without licensing CSS from the DVDCCA.
Martin Luther King's struggle cost him his life so that the people he was fighting for would have a chance to do basic, simple things without fear, while being accorded basic human respect.
Same FUCKING case HERE.
Only Johansen is lucky he lives in Norway not in the United Police States of Corporatist America (nothing wrong with money, just wrong with stealing rights to make it independently).
Incorporating for the sake of incorporation is a disease.
Catch the bad guys. You know the ones with ratty beards and pierced lip and the ones that have to use computers to learn. Tell the fuckers to use the Libary of Congress and stop pushing the net when it's only going to reach the prviledged few like me.

They own their content.
There's very few bands that have the luck they've got.
What I wanna know is:
Where are the (cons)piracy theorists now?
Told ya so assholes.
Use http://www.opennic.unrated.net/.
ICANN closed the Membership process.
158,000 people to represent the future of the net as voters... yeah right.

Sure sounds interesting. But Freenet already does that and more like protecting your ISPs from being fscked when it's you who should be.
Besides stopping the spread is not something I care about. It's impossible period anonymous or fully disclosed. It's not something I worry much about.
Attempt to make claims against me as to rights I have regarding stuff I have PAID for or CREATED and you'll be seeing me in court.
And what rights of working people were trampled?
Do yourself a favor poindexter and get a good suit to back up your shitty opinions, and maybe i'll listen.
We don't no stinking groupies.
That made no sense.

Are you talking to you?
Am I talking to me?
I'd hesitate to stray from the suggested curriculum too much because the concepts it teaches are good concepts to know and understand.
In 5th grade I learned Appleworks databases In 12th grade they taught email.
Sorry but I think you're assuming the schools system is on track.
Teach people to use this shit enough that they can invent it themselves. Open it up to a variety of users.
Do that and the scale of some of this tech compared to the most efficient way of doing a task is going to scare you.
What the parent troll said.
Aw, put a sock in it!
You already know your lock is broken. Fix it. EOC

You mean to tell me if someone tried to stop someone from publishing a blueprint he made, that's not a 1st Amendment violation?
Or say if a document included instructions for safely performing an abortion? Should that be banned.

If you cooperate: $10 enjoyment from 10 chapters.
-$10 + $10 enjoyment + 10 all you can eat chapters
= 10 all you can eat chapters of a complete book.
King gets 75% x $1 x downloads/chapter x 10chapters/10 months
= $.75xdownloads/month but has 10 months worth of work which makes writing a chore sometimes.
It's cheaper than paying first.
People usually are less vigilant about a dollar.
If 75% cooperate: $1 enjoyment from 1 chapter. -$0 + $1 enjoyment + 1 all you can eat chapter.
= $1 enjoyment + $1 chapter of an unfinished book.
King gets 74.99% of $1 x downloads/chapter x $1chapter/month but only has one month of work to do.
He makes a bit of money then he decides fuck novels, short stories rule. Less of a strain.
Care to back that up buddy?
You ought to read dvd-discuss@eon.law.harvard.edu
more often.
You want to tell me this is the same guy who runs Politechbot.com?

Not necessarily anyway. Think! Robots.txt, .htaccess, inviteonly option in chat rooms, VPNs, GPG chat (I got dibs on that USPTO!)
