  2. Re:More /. HYPOCRISY on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 1

    I belive in the freedom of information.

    The GPL is one way to ensure that freedom of information, there may be otherways.

    P2P is one way of getting more free information, including some the current power horders dont want to have free.

    If you take the freedom of information away from the GPL, you are harming my belives, an therefor i think you are wrong.

    if you use p2p and copy someones nonefree info, you support my belives, and i support you.

    It is rather simple, but many people miss it.

    No you need assitance from the GNU foundation - they have the lawyers (two law professors if i am not mistaken) and they would like to fry that company - then everybody would fear and respect the GPL.

  4. Why so much security? on Hobbit Movie in Four Years? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I cannot understand why he wants so much security- those who want it for free, will get i sooner or later, and it is not like the storyline is new in any, according to TFA it is a 193* classic.

    I doubt, that a crash in the US could take down most of the industrial world - sure the US is big, and it is going to hurt, but it is not big enough to kill everything.

  9. Re:The only question I have is on OpenOffice.org 2.0 Preview · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A lot of software these days is heavely bloated. So a laptop like yours could properly only run old software, wich means that you will either have to buy a new one, or swich to something less demanding.

  10. Re:But still on Linux on the Tipping Point · · Score: 1

    I did a little calculation on that one. Acoording to the linux counter, there are currently some 18 million world wide linux users (that is his guess anyway)

    If that rate double per year, then 6 years from now we will have a total of 5,76 billion linux users.

    Twenty years from now we will have 94371,84 Billion linux users.

    If we take the registered linux users we will have 5,93 billion linux users in 13 years.

    in tweenty years we will have 758,75 billion linux useres.

    There are currently some 6,411,000,000 persons on earth

    The growth is 1,4% per year.

    So in 14 years, there will be more registered linux useres than there will be people on earth, which proves two things:
    1)Statisics can be funny but should be taken with a grain of salt
    2)Someone will suggest alien inversion.

  12. Re:I hate professors on MGM v. Grokster: Here's Why P2P is Valuable · · Score: 1

    Saying that P2P is an important network standard and therefore grokster cannot be held liable for what it enables with its software is the equivalent of saying that, since libraries are essential to the transmission of information, the government cannot request that the book "Practical Guide to Terrorist Attacks" be taken off library shelves.
