all 'free software' depends on hardware, NONE of which is free.
he is too lazy to make GCJ work properly, and he is too lazy to make decent office programs, instead telling everyone to 'just use emacs'.
instead he lambasts OO as 'non free' because they didnt write the fucking thing in C and Lisp, like 'real men' would do at his crusty ass MIT lab.
the idea that 'freedom' involves being able to learn something in less than 20 hours is completely alien to him because he has no fucking job other than to whine a lot and piddle away his mcarthur fellowship money on hair conditioner.
hey stallwart, why dont you lambast Linux because it runs on the x86, which is a 'non free' platform, considering that the HDL for the chip masks is 'proprietary'. in fact, why dont you make sure that all your shitty, impossible to use, horribly documented software only runs on 'free hardware'. then we will have to switch everything over to BSD and we will never have to hear your idiotic whining again.
they dont need to worry about the laws (file stealing), the environment (toxic manufacturing and toxic waste), or the energy market (200 watt toy turned on all day long).
thats because IT people have high IQs, are in mensa, and are 'smart'... so any bad things they do to society are cancelled out by their brilliant contributions to progress. you know, sort of like Stalin.

Seek Truth and Report It
Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.
Journalists should:
Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error.
- slashdot frequently publishes inaccurate information
Deliberate distortion is never permissible.
--slashdot has no deliberation therefore this is impossible
---Diligently seek out subjects of news stories to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing.
lol
---Identify sources whenever feasible. The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources' reliability.
but your senior editors are all known by false handles
---Always question sources' motives before promising anonymity. Clarify conditions attached to any promise made in exchange for information.
your sources dont matter
Keep promises. Make certain that headlines, news teases and promotional material, photos, video, audio, graphics, sound bites and quotations do not misrepresent.
---lol
(etc etc , do your own work people, easy as pie) They should not oversimplify or highlight incidents out of context. Never distort the content of news photos or video. Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible. Label montages and photo illustrations. Avoid misleading re-enactments or staged news events. If re-enactment is necessary to tell a story, label it. Avoid undercover or other surreptitious methods of gathering information except when traditional open methods will not yield information vital to the public. Use of such methods should be explained as part of the story Never plagiarize. Tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience boldly, even when it is unpopular to do so. Examine their own cultural values and avoid imposing those values on others. Avoid stereotyping by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status. Support the open exchange of views, even views they find repugnant. Give voice to the voiceless; official and unofficial sources of information can be equally valid. Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context. Distinguish news from advertising and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two. Recognize a special obligation to ensure that the public's business is conducted in the open and that government records are open to inspection.
Minimize Harm
Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect.
Journalists should:
Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage. Use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects. Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief. Recognize that gathering and reporting information may cause harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance. Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves th
you had already a lot of knowledge about the problem. u knew what you wanted.
if you know nothing about the problem, you better damn sure ask other people what they need before you build something.
christianity and science went hand in hand in destroying the americas and claiming them 'for god'.
what part of 'god guns and gold' dont you understand?
science then went on to support stalin, hitler, mao, and anyone else who would pay them money and let them play with their toys.
boo fucking hoo, a few people got burned at the stake. most of them were WOMEN, who arent even allowed into engineering colleges because of stupid asshole 'scientists' who still carry around neanderthal views about half of the human race.
science, in the general, gets exactly what it deserves.
he is not talking about debian linux he is talking about freebsd. apache too.
seriously, the idea that one leader is putting all your eggs in one basket is as old as the idea of democracy.
did you miss 7th grade history class?
set them down next to that, then ill believe you
and i have no idea what my trickle charger takes as energy, but let me assure you, your fancy 3d card running quake computer far outstrips my 50 watt
mini-itx computer, so i make up for it.
'oh conserve energy, conserve the environment, what about the baby seals'.
look, real men carry a gasoline powered generator with them and plug that into their laptop. real REAL men carry a chainsaw with a dynamo on it so they can check email while they cut down 300 year old redwoods.
piss ant hippies like you are the problem with america, and why we got attacked by the terrorists.
i only run computers that have open-source integrated circuits... in fact, i also require the blueprints of the factory that the motherboard came from, along with bills of lading from the transporters, and the truckers log books as well.
sorry, i have 2 sets of NiMH AAs that i use in my
digital camera. i have had them for probably 2-3 years. i keep one set in the charger, and one in the camera. havent had to buy batteries in a long time, and dont plan to.
the toxic waste in batteries is just... not cool. especially when they are alternatives that cost lest money and are only slightly inconvient, the inconvenience being you have to actually clear off a spot in your rat hole of a room to keep a charger plugged in.
Slashdot Mirror
'honey our son died'
'stupid bitch, you didnt renoberate the voip properly'
whats the point of a crappy OS with an impossible UI and horrible documentation?
