i use microsoft products because the monopoly situation forces me to.
while moving away from one linux distro because of seeking purer principles, i cant just land on another with some questionable situation. (microsoft deal). so, its a no go.
which of these (or any other distro) would be suitable for dual-booting with xp, and running web development etc tasks and normal internet usage/videos/music etc ? and wine ?
Eugene Kashpureff was a man who not only saw future threats to the freedom of internet in 1990s, but also someone who had the guts to do something about it ?
we need more Kashpureffs on this planet. many, many more.
their users are much more hell for developers than the frameworks actually. criticize one, and you are labeled an 'incompetent developer'.
i would merrily be one if there werent budget and deadline considerations in real world. we could just work on and on on drupal et al, on our weekends and be happy.
i didnt 'investigate'. we brought it into near completion and the site was functioning. what caused us to abandon was that client was very picky about visuals, cared about 1px alignments of elements. but drupal caused a lot more problems than 1px alignments. when the client wanted a quite modified newsletter form in visuals, the shit hit the fan and we had to abandon.
implementing the entire thing from start took only 1-2 days after that, along with the client's pickiness.
you can do it. actually, this was the way people lived before 6000 BC, and there was much more harmony in between societies and the nature. they still had tools, they still had cities.
I actually have seen this at work in a production environment, and it really works. it was a curious experience, after all those years of standalone office programs.
its as if a lot of people are in the same chat room, but producing a document.
drupal drupal drupal. it hasnt been just a month after the last drupal article was posted.
i want to know why slashdot is so hardly pushing drupal. a developer-hostile mess, whereas there are a lot of other cmses around, some preferred by nasa etc.
more on drupal, from the thread which we have discussed under the last drupal posting - not around a month ago even - is below :
I used to be quite the neo-con, until I started studying history and society. Now I'm in favor of small countries, small militaries, open government, and diplomacy.
then you havent studied enough history. you need to go to all the way to prehistory, start there, and come to scientific age slowly. giving special emphasis to fall of rome, and early middle ages (dark ages) altogether. from 300 to 600 AD.
when you come to scientific age, passing through the age of enlightenment reading, you will see that this is not something that is related to size - but to concept of ownership, and money as its mechanic. as long as a person or a group can own ownership of more things or the same thing more than others, you will never be able to solve the issues seen in this system. ages old rule - the one with the gold makes the rule.
it doesnt matter whether a society is 200 people or 2 billion people - as long as some command more than others, they will have power over others.
in order to attract attention to a problem, you have to, unfortunately, endlessly repeat it at our time and age, for it to make through the thick coat of denial and conformism layer. not to mention american idol, britney spears, fanboism etc etc - insert endless attention-sinks here - etc .
it is rather interesting that, i was quite a capitalist myself 5 years ago, until got into study of history and society.
why are you anonymous ? before accusing someone of treason, someone should develop the balls needed for expressing their views with at least a dubious registered website account. notice - i didnt even say 'with your own identity'. such is the level you are at, currently.
you are free to do anything in a capitalist economy. see, the catch is, everything costs money, and those with bigger money, can determine how much free can one be.
such is the lesson of this incident, apart from the paypal's staggering lack of spine. roadside pimp may be having more spine and honor than paypal in regard to principles.
yes isnt it. its because they are easily fooled by religious jargon, or anti-immigrant fervor, or gun rhetoric. and dump votes to people who do the EXACT opposite of what they say, multiple times.
i dont need to be a lawyer. for some reason, part of my post didnt make it. here it is :
two women discover each other, one suddenly decides to seek her 'options'. goes talks to police. no charges filed.
swedish prosecutor drops a case. another prosecutor also drops case.
right wing politician pressurizes the second prosecutor to reopen the case.
prosecutor fabricates a 'rape condition' as in 'if you have consentual sex two times, and in the second time your condom pops and you dont stop, its a rape'.
with this brain-damaged rationale, which puts maybe 30-40% of world population in rapists' shoes, a charge is filed. the women STILL havent charged him with ANYthing up till date. everything happens in between a prosecutor in central sweden, far away from where women are living and talked to police, and a fucked up politician.
prosecutor's office, DESPITE knowing where assange lived, DESPITE having to contact him by law, do NOT contact him, but instead issue an arrest warrant for him. if they had contacted him, as they were obliged by law, they were not going to be able to arrest him.
seeing the rate things are going, to the point of a swedish prosecutor's office not refraining from violating swedish LAW, assange leaves sweden.
fast forward to today - you, in all in your uninformed morondom, spread shit out of your mouth instead of your anus in slashdot.
and you smell like a moron who sports an opinion without knowing anything about something first.
women had sex with him consentually. days later, when they discovered each other, they had went to police to 'consider their options'. they have not filed any charges. not even up till this date.
with that, probably at the minimum 1/3 of sweden's tiny male population would be rapists, not to mention maybe more than half of world population. that probably includes normal people in your social circle.
normally, someone having a strong opinion about something, would take the effort to do actual research. yet, you have liberally went and uttered the below mind crap, without knowing shit.
This all smells of a lawer smoke screen to get pity on an possible sexual deviant / predator and certainly a coward afraid to face his charges, either way not exactly a role model.
please, next time, do one of the below :
a) If you are going to have a strong opinion, do some GOOD research and KNOW first.
b) if not, do not make up stuff from your ass.
c) if you still insist on manufacturing things out of your ass, dont use such strong wordage to indicate 'some' hint of 'knowledge' behind your opinion.
If a politican from your government had not pressurized the prosecutor that closed the case, to open the case and try to ramp up brain-damaged charges, all this sequence events would not happen.
nor would cia flights over your country, collaboration with bush aims behind closed doors and many more.
right wing parties worldwide have a tendency to collaborate in perpetrating shit. and there is no exception to that rule, throughout history.
now the ball is on your side as people. show who you are.

good post, yours is.
just like how nelson mandela didnt produce anything, right.
if activism does not count, let go of all your modern social rights and liberties countless activists have gained for you throughout history.
As my main system to do everything on my pc, from dev to business. But it seems, i had done wrong.
What other distros are there to use for development, video, music, daily tasks etc ? centos ?
Eugene Kashpureff was a man who not only saw future threats to the freedom of internet in 1990s, but also someone who had the guts to do something about it ?
we need more Kashpureffs on this planet. many, many more.
quite a catch there.
great phrase there. ill use it.

This is the second straight article about drupal, in no longer than a day. third in this month.
What's in store for tomorrow ? "Drupal is excited for carnival" ?
has slashdot became drupal's private publishing arm ?

surely the ends never justify the means, isnt it.
...
like, if a nazi officer refused to kill people in a concentration camp, and let them free, he would be judged of treason and shot dead.
ends never justify the means indeed.
hypocrisy galore
