Everyone got screwed. The Media forced the authorities to act like nazis, forced geeks to be equated with nazis, forced us to watch it as if we were nazis, and forced parents to react like nazis, when in fact all there was was a drug overdose. And the Trenchcoat Mafia... um you mean like Team Rocket?
Besides the worst hysteria is funeral hysteria. Where people can't get away from all the emotional sensationalism to realize what's really going on around them. Sorry but I would have thought most ppl would want a private moment to remember the real victims, not the crap I see on TV. And this book shows the reality of the media we deal with on a daily basis.
What is it with this open source kills profits kick?
They could make money by including live ads in the book if they created it in HTML. 'Course I prefer ads that give me my weather as well, banner ads suck. Sign up a special on den.net.
Wrapster it. PDF ever heard of it? C'mon I would have thought unixers could see the evil in YAPF. We're talking text mostly and maybe some artwork. Gee text and pictures... there's a zillion formats that already support text and pictures. Unless of course you guys plan to build a distro so that different chapters go in different directories:/usr/chap1,/etc/contentstab.conf.rc. Sheesh. All that jazz just because it's a book. It's overkill. Simplify - Thoreau
Then geek businessmen can fight back. It's that simple. Society doesn't care about people it can't recognize. Ayn Rand would have a fit about now. Don't thinks so? Read For The New Intellectual. Talks a lot about companies cold calling demanding you buy their products.
Oh please. Red Hat exists because abunch of Linux users needed a modestly organized system to upgrade their home systems then they sold it. To make money? To gain the community's trust? Who cares. Building a distribution is no different than building a PC. Course that's going to confuse Mac users. Oh well.
Not to say that you need to be a genius to use GIMP locally. You don't. But human beings are notoriously afraid of maintenance tasks, self-sufficiency etc. As ridiculous as it sounds most people have as much confidence working with a computer as they do working in a laboratory. Until we quit inventing interfaces and start teaching, and further present technology as a science not a black art, we will not see people doing things locally.
That said, I still think this is a great idea. Especially for people who need to do simple things like select original size 3x5 select final size 30x50 and click ok.
Now what I'd like is a GIMP distro that has some of these scripts setup so I can serve GIMP functionality from home. B2B works. B2C is getting old. C2C worked when we had BBSes, now it will work again with DSL lines.
C'mon guys... sheesh. You've heard of modules, like you know, i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t parts. Like you put A and B together and you get A doing C with B.
You can't reduce every idea to one object specifically intended for it. Sometimes a tool's functions are greater than the sum of its parts. Quit being so materialistic.:)
Mp3 == small therefore == practical for streaming Streaming == no more radio stations, no more promoting, no more record company, justr jamming, broadcasting, and making huge loads of money off direct to consumer broadcasts.
Elitist fucking "the A group should do A and the B group should do B" moron.
What so fucking cool about not talking about legal matters? You think the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were a breeze, unanimously agreed upon documents?
If anything the American revolution was as much a civil war among the colonists as a revolution.
and don't give me this shit about having free speech for the "users"
What that probably means, is that NONE of the people behind it are programmers
Perfect example of a moron who thinks only corporations can build products. Why the fuck do you think they're called corporations? So that they get the same protections as individuals do.
If there were ANY programmers behind the OSS movement, they are fools for giving away their rights.
Jesus... get off the crack. The only reason the computer market even exists is because of OPEN ARCHITECTURE! Look at the original Unix wave protecting their rights and going nowhere.
Take a couple of anti-FOX-cable pills before your brain rots.
Distros are made primarily by users for other users to use. EVERY company lately has based their stuff off an existing distro. Get your head out of the sand.
when linux (any distro company) becomes as big as m$, the government can break it up too.

But when the Mozilla developers spot a bug, why the hell should they not keep it to themselves? So it can be fixed. The bug is found, so it's not a question of "more eyes". Then it becaomes a question of more hands coding. Look do I really have to get into such a childish debate to explain it? It's like pulling teeth. You don't seem to get the core of the issue which is: CRACKING is EASY. You don't need a schematic to slash a tire. How many virus creators have the Windows source code? Evil is easy, good is difficult. They're already working on it,and it's pretty unlikely that anyone outside the project is going to have a far superior solution. Why is it people think the population is retarded? I work on one project where one fool didn't release details to people who COULD help, much less your so-called "outsiders". Elitism pisses me off. Anyone who doesn't code downloads the binary. You seem to forget however that the ones in the project are also in the general public. They maybe working on a project and are interested in getting more details on how to interface with Gecko. Those people are very likely How in hell does it help security for them to give the cracker kiddies their raw material? Kiddies don't NEED the source. Software IS NOT a black art. Christ! You really don't get it.
Slashdot Mirror
And I'm not even identified in the book.
Granted they could have posted for permission on slashdot.
I'm arguing no new formats, you are arguing money. It's going to be in paperback with a possible future electronic release. Please stick to the topic.
This book is your best chance at getting back at them.

It's going to be hard for me to boycott I won't be buying games this year. Not until something pops up based on WorldForge.

Hmm... e-emergence... (Deeply sorry.)
I definitely think it's worth it. Now just add a wireless FM keyboard and Linux drivers and it's over for the desktops.
He'd better be quick about it I haven't all day.
The only one to get screwed would be you for framing someone else.
Nuff said.
Simple:
Mp3 == small therefore == practical for streaming
Streaming == no more radio stations, no more promoting, no more record company, justr jamming, broadcasting, and making huge loads of money off direct to consumer broadcasts.
Any questions?
I mean, how can code possibly be protected speech
Thge same fucking way instructions for using a condom are free speech. Thank you, asshole.
Elitist fucking "the A group should do A and the B group should do B" moron.
