It's nice to see the "imissmydreamcast" tag, I do miss my Dreamcast. It was an incredibly good machine for its age, and had an amusing series of quality games released for it. Too bad it didn't read "PlayStation" in the box; people didn't like that. And Sega as a company is full of the stupidest business people ever; most companies are ran by complete retards in suits with spiky or creamy hair that only speak of TCO, TTM and shit they read in magazines, but Sega is just too much. Their sheer idiocy is astonishing. My image of Sega is stored in my brain between the concepts of "failure" and "idiocy".
A project going the wrong way is often easy to identify. It's made of a pointy/creamy haired suited manager who hires low-paid novices and talks in business-speak(*), and wouldn't tell a computer from a bag of walnuts in his life. Naturally, he chooses Java, because he read about it in a magazine full of buzzwords and three-letter acronyms.
(*): Professional enterprise scalable object-oriented XML-based AJAX-based mission-critical business solutions that create synergy between your business departments through best-practice industry standards and allows you to deploy a Web 2.0 infrastructure that will reduce operating costs, maximize your profits, and convert visitors into customers, reducing the total cost of ownership.
This was and maybe still is a valid point (although diversity isn't that troublesome for businesses), but now Debian-based distributions and especially *Ubuntu got extremely popular, and are in the way to become the defacto standard for Linux, whereas other distributions will remain domain-specific. For example, if you have a business and want tech service and all that, you may want to try SuSE or Red Hat. And if you are a ricer, you may want to try Gentoo:p .
Fortunately, natural selection and evolution of distros made one very popular, which means more packages and less compiling for the general public. This is what Linux needs. The fact there are many other distros for more specific or purist purposes is alright - it doesn't affect Linux' adoption because if you're concerned about popularity you get *Ubuntu.
Politics wouldn't tell the difference between a computer and a watermelon, but if they make them win votes, they'll attempt to support them.
So you have the republicans. They are partly funded by Microsoft, and massive, often evil American corporations are their thing (in fact, republicans are pretty much an association of people from these corporations). They want to favour their ugly corporations, so they choose Microsoft, save for a few ones who try to sway democratic votes by pretending to support Linux (yet they will still favour Microsoft and everything huge, ugly and American if they win). That's, of course, because they haven't heard anything about Richard Stallman and most important Linux people's religious beliefs.
Then you have the democrats. Again they don't know what is this "Lunix" thing but they believe it's about penguins and buttons. Since it's what the "cool" people "do" (somehow), and it's the opposite to what republicans support, they support Linux. That's until they enter the government and discover they need to support big, fat, ugly American corporations to stay in power.
I suppose there must be one or two democrats who truly support Linux and know a thing or two (at least as users), but I think they'll be a minority.
To me, "people-ready business" means your standard enterprise advertisement crap, whose success seems to be measured in the number of times the word "business" is mentioned.
Seriously, every day I'm more and more unhappy with the GPLv3. We have four big problems, which are digital restrictions management, patents, tivoization, and trap deals. The GPLv3 was about preventing these problems from happening, or at least, from affecting us. Yet right now it barely solves one of them. With every new revision, the GPLv3 got more and more fagged up, to the point it's now a stupid overhyped version of GPLv2 with little to no improvement, a pointless license.
Now I'll consider relesing my stuff with my own license that will address these issues, and I encourage others to do likewise. And, for the things where GPL will suffice, I'll stay with GPLv2, because GPLv3 is just not worth it.
I guess 2009 will be most exciting year in computing history. Not only it'll be the year of the Linux desktop, but we'll see a simultaneous release of:
Why do we want a watered down, sugar-free version of GPLv3? It's either the real thing -- a license to fight back evil corporate practices, or GPLv2 -- a license that fails its purpose which is to ensure your freedom. Something in the middle will still be a failure, and will cause trouble.
In America, anybody with enough fat lawyers can sue anybody else for anything. The lawware industry is thriving. And when we add American puritanism and religious zealots to the formula, we get a "threatening a religion" crime.
Lol land of freedom, lol freedom of speech. I believe I would be allowed to criticize those scientology morons in North Korea, by the way.
FYI, the inquisition was an European-wide phenomena, not just Spanish. Most assassinations were committed in Germany, by a ratio of 100 to 1 compared to Spain.
Anyways, Scientology just does things the American way: lawyers and lawware.
They must be adding support for Duke Nukem life forms and Duke Nukem environments.
Crap. I wanted to play this so badly. Guess I should forget all about it and think as if it had been some bizarre dream, because when games start getting delayed over and over they are never released. By the time the game's ready, it'll have 3 competing games and outdated art, so they need to improve the engine and redo the art, and there you go again, another delay.
Think of lusers not using an Internet browser that sends "User-agent: RAPE ME LOL" every time they browse for porn in the stupid way they always do.
Think of lusers not running their OS in god mode when they couldn't tell a computer and a refrigerator apart.
Think of lusers not having a POP email client complete with an awesome support for scripting spambots.
Think of lusers having software written by people who give a damn about security (and functionality), not by businesstards who just want to lure lusers by offering stupid interfaces they saw in Star Trek.
You can ask any questions you like, but facts speak for themselves: if you get rid of MSIE, Outlook Express, MSN Messenger, and Windows altogether, you could be the worst systems administrator ever and you still wouldn't have 1/10 the security breaches and incidents.
(I, however, recommend getting rid of screensaver collecting, iTunes using lusers first.)
AMD used to be a user-friendly company. By user-friendly I mean a company that does the best for the people it gets the money from, as one would logically think a company should try to do to make money. They offered better performance for the buck, and gave better vibes as a company.
Now they not only lost the crown of price/performance, but they started doing stupid shit like Treacherous Computing, purchasing ATi or wanting to spike their graphics cards with digital AIDS (DRM).
I'm not sorry they are doing wrong. In fact, I'm deeply relieved. I'm so glad. Of course, I don't support Intel either, they are even bigger DRM faggots than AMD. Both can fold.

That'll be amazing, I can't wait to try it. Their slogan could be:

It's still full of long-haired, LSD-taking communist hippies.

Just another lawyers vs lawyers justice show to make some money off the system. Cat shit vs dog shit.
The good thing: One of them will lose.
The bad thing: One of them will win.
