Why is his breeding patterns any concern....
because he decided to have a child that gives him a free pass to be incompetent and have a bad attitude to those trying to help.
The line about kids to feed is old and really has no relevance to personal actions. Retire that stupidity.
about porn. this goes back a decade almost now. Why, there are many bigger problems on the internet, like dealing with the real criminals that hide behind a company and infect users with spyware and garbage.
How about the spammers, they are criminals using botnets commiting fraud. That would make people happy to have them arrested, but no the govt has always been concerned about naked people.
How about a law that says, "No one under 18 is allowed onthe internet." there no more problems with children getting porn online. that would be excellent.
"A Computer In every classroom"
now that was a major scam...
the amount of waste in the program is just incredible. First of all, yes every classroom needs a computer....so that it is offlimits to the students so the teacher can check their email... that was really great.
Or the millions of dollars of outright fraud and the general incompetance of that era of system administrators, ordering shit just cause they can.
That was the problem the democrats faced in 2004, the "anyone but Bush" scenario...
The problem is that you cant build a platform of support without actual support for the guy running.
Many people actually supported Bush in that election and WANTED him to be elected. On the flip side, I didnt know too many people that wanted Kerry elected, rather just not Bush.
The Southpark episode did sum things up nicely.
or maybe the problem is of attitude.
You seem to share a similar attitude as Theo. Which basically makes me not want to help out. I know if I was in a position at Sun and was flamed like theo has a habit of, well I would tell him thanks for the code, now kiss off.
if you are a jerk to people, no one will want to help you.
You ever notice how a lot of other projects ask for donations and it is fulfilled rathr quickly. gee I wonder if it is the developers attitudes that make a difference there.
from what i read was that he didnt like the binary drivers...fair enough that is his belief.
some people did do a reverse engineer job and were asked to stop. it is germany on the other hand, not the US, they probably have a bit saner laws regarding that (depending on the method of course)
maybe they did it out of respect and not fear. who knows. it could be a number of reasons.
however, theo wasnt exactly an asshole on that concept, he is suprised they would stop (again we dont know why they stopped) he wished they didnt, he takes issue that they did stop. his opinion mismatched with someone elses. oh well it happens but its not like you said, he didnt slag linux.
oh and he does do a lot of advocacy...wireless drivers for instance....
man I never thought I would defend theo
um no, because no one outside of OSS knows who richard stallman is...
and people looking at it for business implications are surely not payign that much attention to the leaders of OSS but what companies exist.
That is easy to define: unsolicited bulk email...(this includes political spam too)
How much is bulk. well I doubt any normal user is sending out 50 messages a second to friends that may not be expecting an email (technically unsolicited)
If it is a legit mailing list, it isnt unsolicited. If you are emailing a friend from college, it isnt bulk.
I wish more ISPs would filter port 25 outgoing (with a reasonable way to get unblocked for those 2 users that need it) and rate limit the mail. That would stop the zombie problem dead.
But for some reason ISPs refuse to do those things (and no it wont cause problems for 99% of the users on the planet) a few customers might have problems, however exceptions can be made easily enough, a ISPs are doing that already.
Most spammers are already committing multiple felonies as it is that would result in pretty harsh sentances. There is no point in NEW laws that wont be enforced when there are already laws that exist that attack the actual important laws being broken.
Yep, cause that is what happened to facebook...oh wait. you cannot find users more loyal than on that site (it is actually quite sad)
Let me guess, you are not a college student, and do not have college aged friends anymore...which is evident by the fact you are out of touch with that demographic and instead make generalizations backed up by NOTHING.
I personally think facebook is retarded, however, it is deeply entrenched in college now and some new wizbang site isnt gonna change that.
Building a new site is totally useless..
This has nothing absolutely nothing to do with the actual site but rather the fact it has users....
for every one popular site, your's will fail.
Actually it has a lot of income....it is called relevant advertising.
That is why if you put your favorite movie as fight club, a poster store (and ad) for fight club posters will show up.
If all websites had that sort of advertising people wouldnt be so annoyed by banner ads.

I didnt know mcdonalds paid you that much... cause being some punkass that is probably the only job you can get.

Unless of course discs wont even work with it because of some damned DRM system. very well could be.

ohh that was adorable.... now in reality you will notice things are exactly the same regardless ofthe split, and who is where
Then why hasnt it happened already? You dont need physical control of the plane. just the ground control system

Well you let us know when some of those mythical 360 games are released.
a server for security makes sure dumb admins never get near it.

Ever consider that mom and pop stores suck? "If my parents had a store, I wouldnt shop there" --Seinfeld

It is all tied up in the license, if you do not ask for money upfront, you cant complain later that no one paid up.
should some of these companies pay, definately. Should Theo be mad that people are following the license (ie, you dont HAVE to pay)
You give something away for free, then later complain they should pay for it...I dont think so
Basically. are you gonna seperate your code from your politics.
You are completely correct.... however, you simply cannot become pissed off by the fact that some company followed the license to the letter.

The hell spammers arent easy to find not to mention the companies hiring these assholes to break the law. Trivial to find.

Well there was all those people in Computer Science during hte late 90's... Luckily they have been weeded out, (or now work in Oklahoma)

How could it possibly become any more useless? It's one thing to waste hours on a website, but that site is absolutely pointless.
