I just read this book in its entirety in the space of about 36 hours, and it addresses just this (problem?) situation. Excellent read. Extremely basic synopsis: Lack of structured rites of passage for modern adolescent/child males results in immature adult males.
The guy hates his own name and his proud heritage.
That post is wrong on several levels. Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz is his name, and using his middle name instead of his last name makes sense the moment you hear the title "The Daily Show with Jon Leibowitz". As for his heritage, have you watched any of his shows? He is a very openly jewish guy.
Yes, you do need to know what you are doing to install an operating system, whether it be Ubuntu, Windows, or MacOS. You may not need very much knowledge, but most motorcycle mechanics wont have it, because they don't care (just to pull some generic profession out of the old hole). You need to know about drivers on some, and networking on others, and what the machine is to be used for.
The subtle difference would be the law. Businessfolk have to go through inspection for compliance right from the get go. That's hardly letting them do whatever they want, which is shoving an electrolux into your wallet and sucking out your soul.
If it can get into Ram, it can do all sorts of nasty before you know what's going on. Not saying it's happened, just sayin there's a BIOS it can touch and possibly a whole lot of subnet attached to that one liveCD run box.
So they're trying to get the unethical types to stop playing a game where you play a gangster? Brilliant! It's like trying to get fishermen to stop using radar, or NASA engineers to stop playing with rockets even after they get home.
Music concerts aren't dying, just the format od pre-recorded content distributed. Movies wont die either until everyone has a theater in their home. I still buy tickets to concerts (and CDs if the music is worth paying for. Last one was Frou Frou: Details. Older band, one album, but I love Imogen Heaps voice). I've attended every Rush concert performed in my area since 1987, and have the t-shirts to prove it.
I discovered the previously mentioned album by listening to music through last.fm and soma.fm. I listened to the radio through the intertubes. If they could just figure out that the method of distribution is changing and not the market and not theft, their lives would be good! I remember when I went to a music store to buy music way back when, I talked to the owner about what I wanted, and ended up buying a tape by (long memorial pause) dammit, like Zeppelin but heavier.... dont have it anymore.... Anyways! His big bitch was theft then too. Nothing has changed just the formats.
Kingdom Come! That was irritating. Glad I didn't wake up in the middle of the night shouting "Kingdom Come!". My wife would have committed me....
I get the New York Times, the Globe and Mail, and my local papers all through RSS feeds from the sites themselves. Google is totally unnecessary.
Do they not know about robots.txt?
This whole thing is confusing and convinces me the either I'm smarter than most folks who work at newspapers or quite a bit dumber. Have they been talking to the folks at RIAA or am I just retarded?
Gimp is a clone? MPlayer? Openoffice yeah, I could see that, Amarok too. But GUI stuff is going to be that way, that's the way the market goes. I could see you maybe saying that about Gnome land? Maybe KDE land (if you stick to 3.5x)?
OK, loosely taken, everything is a clone, and we are all standing on the shoulders of giants and just get rid of anything even resembling patent or copyright, butchyer goin a bit far there arentchya?
Oh, and "Arentchya" is an innovated clone of "Arentcha", according to Google, an innovated clone of Altavista.
(All characters typed have been a clone of some frickin old alphabet, have I taken this too far yet?)
It's not "amazing" that people live in fear. It's REQUIRED. Anyone not living in fear is being thoroughly unpatriotic.
Is that how you live? I mean, really, is that how you live? In fear? You wake up every morning waiting for the pointy tailed one to burn your flesh and feed you soul to the insatiable Cthulu? I would move to a different country if that were required. Maybe somewhere with beer and good skiing and a good relationship with the US so we could still buy Harleys. Someplace well connected so I could still get to Alaska and gaze at Russia, or laugh at those who think they can. Someplace where the army is a peacekeeping force, instead of a death machine, and the navy is a couple of leaky canoes. Where beavers can honk at the moon and the cops still wear red jackets and ride horses! MY NAME IS JOE, AND I'M CANA.....
Shit, got carried away, sorry about that, what were you saying?
I was just thinking that exact thing. Take drivers who are fast and careless, put them on bikes, and see how quickly they get careful. I cant listen to music much less talk on a cell phone because the comfort level is barely considered on my machine.
Ever been to windizupdate? They seem to do just fine without the ActiveX stuff. Why can't MS? I realise that that's probably a dumb question, if I were steeped in MS corporate culture I'd probably shun me for suggesting such a thing, but other techs can do the work that ActveX currently does without all the hooks.
If I was in that position, I would actively block IE6, and have a large banner for IE7 users suggesting Firefox.
And if you had a cashflow through that site, a significant amount would be lost for an unforseeable amount of time. Also, present and potential customers would be lost.Try explaining that to the pointy haired one. Norway, the home of Black Metal, is an incredibly defiant and individual culture, and I'm quite proud to have a large amount of norwegian blood flowing through me. It also means that my 'superiors' have a hard time taking my sometimes abrasive attitude. From experience I know that the upper ups don't give shit one about browsers, they care about sales, and will fuck the entire planet over if it means another copper in the coffer.
Is this not how market development works? A whole bunch of people try to feed a need. Some are good at it, some not so good. The good ones get used and grow, the bad ones get ignored and die off. In the end you have a couple, or few, very good companies (distros/programs/whatever) competing against each other Coke/Pepsi style to get the market. Each tweaking, developing, and marketing like friggin training athletes. Each one trying like hell to get better faster than the other, until each product kicks amazing amounts of ass. All through the process folks just pal around with whichever distro suits them best. The distro with the most pals when they die, wins.
OK you two settle down, there's no need to go off all half cocked. The Linux Way is about simplicity. Creating a program that does one thing very well and in such a way that both input and output can be easily piped from or to another program. Using this Way it is possible to create a solution as proposed by Bogaboga (sorry if I inadvertently capitalized when I shouldn't). Fact is, it's a pretty damned big project, and nobody is currently working on it.
things like 'fair value', or the difference between 'dumping' and selling a 'loss leader', are entirely subjective. they're simply used in whatever way most benefits a given group.
Which is why we should make a single international standard, and then sell Bill Gates into sexual slavery!
So despite nicotine being an enormously addictive substance, those millions of people who smoke cigarettes constantly and can't quit even though they want to but still manage to carry on normal lives aren't actually addicted?
Sort of. Addiction has a dual personality, kind of like the term 'Hacker'. Smokers take more breaks than non smokers, so non smokers perceive them as being lazy. Smokers tend to be more productive (Google searches can kiss my ass) while working but take more breaks, but bosses don't measure productivity as much as breaks.
Game addiction decreases productivity by being a time sink, so we have to look at whether the game gets the worker in a zone that increases productivity or decreases it. If productivity decreases, its an addiction, if it increases, its a tool. That's how the 'addiction' label works.

Dr. Moore goes into a little more detail.
Don't you mean Jonathan Leibowitz?

Wait, did I just take trollbait?
Having a LAMP server in the basement comes to mind too. One can serve ones family without having to addict ones mother to Farmville.
Well, if a kid has really crappy parents, at least dealing with a really crappy boss will be easy.... Hey, waidaminnit!

If you could get decent maple syrup outside of Vermont you would call it Canadian.

Yeah, right, I bet you wrote that in emacs. On Windows.
Thank christ important people like Steve Ballmer havent gotten their heads inflated. *Whew*
