This is a waste of time!!!
Anything done on a PC could be construed in this way.
Remember when people used ta write letters by hand?
Remember when people used to work out their own budgets?
Hell... Remember when people used used to handcode HTML? now you got Dreamweaver, Frontpage blah blah blah
The same can be said for any technological advance...
i mean remember telegraphs, then landlines now mobiles... where does it end?
It can still be called art. Just because it was created on a PC does not exclude it as being art.
That is probably Ballmers office..not Bill Gates'.
You know when your child is naughty and you confiscate their privilages, well i guess Ballmers office gear was confiscated as well.
Bill:" Right Steve, i am sick of you throwing shit around!, someone has to pay for all this and it sure as hell ain't you. You can move all your shit down to the Pleb's floor. You can have a crappy ofice like everyone who works at a Linux factory"
Steve;"But... Bill, ahhh com'on, you suck dude"
Bill:"Nope, off you go young man, come back when you can behave like a decent human being"

but sir.. what could possibly go wrongs if big strong Microsoft are helping us?
they have lots of moneys, and are nice guys.. yes
Long hair and pony tails???
well....
Bill Gates is hardly a style guru is he..
Ya don't hear young fellas saying..gee i am gonna stop dressing like Brad Pitt, and dress like Bill
Coz Bill is cool!
Oh no.. not a lot of that going on
i know that TFA is about power dressing, which in theory probably does work, but who wants to be dress like a politician..
And what about Google... (Don't be evil), i thought they were all about comfort not image...and last time i looked they were kinda successful IIRC!
well thats just great, not only do we have to have her swanning around earth with that mutty dog...
No....
Now bloody Paris hilton is gonna be on Mars and the Moon too..
Her with her free accomodation... and her multi millions.. and her sex tapes
There goes me summer holiday plans
Yeah.. this is true..
My sister in law has a 7 year old, and his Birthday was last week..
anyway.. she bought him a PS1 game (dunno what title..sorry).
So, the guy who sold it to her tells her that this is the last production title to be made, (store was EB.. i think)
anyway.. she gets it home... has birthday party etc..
young fella's dual-shock no longer goes!bummer
she tries to buy a new PS1 dual-shock from same store,
only to be told that they don't have them anymore and have not had them for quite some time.
so... she rings me to see if i have an old one she can have... i didn't.
my suggestions
1. but PS2 dual-shock (should be backwards compat..)
2. just buy a complete PS1.. (you can probably get a 2nd hand one for around $10nzd
It makes you wonder if PS3 is actually gonna be backwards compat.. have Sony actually confirmed this for sure???
What is it with this copyright issue anyway?
At first it was illegal, then it was OK.. as long as it was 'Limited' distribution, then a 'hold-all' server like Napster was bad
Kazaa was OK.. then bad!
Now they can't touch Bittorrent.. then they sue poor kids in the Bronx or where ever she was from...
Now it bad again in Germany!
But Bali has been pirating for years
I wish they (Sony, other record companies, the man, what ever you want ta call them),
the courts, and who ever else needs to be involved would just lay down some sort of decision! OK they might lose out on a coupla areas maybe,, maybe the pirates will get away with somethings.. but this whole debate has got to stop
It is wasting time and money...
Why don't they just accept that they can't win them all and leave it at that!
Well i reckon it's a good idea, they could extend it out to other genres too
i reckon war doco's would be cool, but how cool would Nascar be... or V8 supercars for those of us down under
Now...hang on..
If we could convince Mike Tyson to use Linux,(or even just show him a Knoppix CD) then we could throw him in the ring with Gates, Ballmer or both...
It is kinda the same principle isn't it
who care's about Aero-Glass...
i just wanna get the totl model to install in my state of the art RH7.2 gaming machine
oh boy.. the fun i am gonna have!!!
well he does quite clearly state that he is 17, and it is more of a desktop enhancment toolkit, it is just a shame that others are knocking him over the SYSADMIN angle. I guess the origniating site where he posted lumped him under the sysadmin tag. Still... i don't reckon we should flame him too much... it is good to see a young fella using Linux.
Anyway...
my top 5:
1)A good distro (Debian,or Fedora/RH.. if you are sysadmin you don't need a hobby OS, the OS has gotta do what you tell it!)
2)Nano, Pico or VIM
3)df -h
4)ps -e
5)iptables
These are the main tools for me anyway
