The reality is though that Linux has got to WANT TO change.
The author of the article obviously wanted to start a flame war, he spends the first half of the "article" apologizing for being a journalist, the second half is about how he blogged critically about linux and it was seen as a "complaint" - big fucking deal - not everyone sees criticism as a complaint and not all complaints are criticisms. If the linux community did not have people saying "what we need is..." or "why can't i do this EASILY or from a GUI?" it would not be where it is today - number 3 or 2 dependent upon whose data you believe, and Mac People lie.:D
Of course congress and the administration are going to be pro riaa that's who helps get them elected.
What needs to be understood and apparently is not, is that it is not that the riaa is coming after people, it is how they are doing it and what they are doing once they "find" someone (ie - exorbitant damages).
Copyright infringement is wrong as is charging $3000 per song, and illegally cracking into someones computer to determine if they are infringing on your copyright.
The riaa have the right to protect their ip but they do not have the right to run roughshod over the rights of us citizens that is the governments job.
Because, where would the drama be if we did not have this redundancy?
Putting it in the hands of one agency is bad - giving it to legislators is bad too - this is where I hope we get some transparency, if there are threats we need to know, it is OUR country, all of ours, not just those 'elected' to represent us. Those that for some reason think that makes them ABOVE us.
Hey, we umm... don't like those things he ummm... says... yeah... and ummm now you know ummm... that we don't... you know ummm like it... umm what he says...
So what we would then be doing is providing them a definite area that has the soft target - and likely as not hitting the center of the 'blurry' area would provide the proper result.
Team killing fucktards that's what they are. Every damn one of them.
that will allow the likes of blockbuster to take back what they lost to netflix. silly netflix execs, you piss off those you have courted and they shall feast upon your entrails.
there seems to be this "idea" that there are only a 'few' linux/bsd/other boxes out there, woe unto the doltish execs who fall for that shit. don't get me wrong, i know windows is still the bigger base, but it is a dummer base. most of these users would never be able to watch the netflix movies on the 'old' system let alone the 'new' system.
good luck with your deal with the devil - how many movies does blockbuster let me rent at 1 time...
Bill Gates has become a Luser - one that requires the application of a LART.
So it's not just us that think their shit is whack... like printing a test page for a printer... why after all these fucking years is it not a right-click context option for printers or at the very least in the left hand side of the 'Printers' folder 'Info' section. And let's not talk about the mouse focus that KDE has had for years now...
Perhaps the children at MIT could help us out like they did with "Create a Published Paper" - but on second thought perhaps we should listen to Thomas Jefferson who said... "A little revolution now and then is a good thing; the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. (1787) "
So when is Soldier of Fortune magazine going to be taken to court?... I realize they hide their true intent better than your example, (perhaps you should have tried 'solveyourproblem.com'), but you see where I am going, no?
Having to do with the legal system... I drove a vomit comet for a company. The vehicle had been in numerous accidents from many different drivers. I was driving to a stop down a steep winding hill. All of a sudden the wheel would not turn, through the guard-rail and over the side I went. Sliding sideways about 40' until the truck came to a stop next to a propane tank. I was ok but shaken. Mechanics said that the A-Frame on the front suspension had been cracked for a while based on the fact there was rust in between the break. Fast forward to my - yes - trial. No lawyer, affidavit from licensed and certified mechanic and my truthful testimony were no match for the responding officer ( a mechanic when his oil needed changing - tires rotated etc), said it was obviously my fault and that the damaged A-Frame was caused by the accident. Judge found me guilty pending appeal. Cut to me getting a lawyer. She took my statement then the transcript wrote it up and sent it to the judge - I am not guilty as the evidence and my lawyers written statement said so, and after paying her $500 for her paragraphs, I was not guilty.
Is the legal system skewed and screwed? Yes. Am I bitter? Yes. Do I consult attorneys whenever legal issues are involved? Yes, yes I do. There are good attorneys everywhere, they are usually busy though.
Wine let's me run as many as I want at about 1/28th the overhead... does Steve know this? I anticipate flying chairs.
Will Clippy pop up and tell you that you cannot open anymore programs or will they get some cryptic notification that the limitations placed on their operating system require them close one of the currently open programs.
Will spyware be included as one of the programs or do Conficker and AV360 count as "Anti-Virus"?
Oh yeah, loved that. BTW the GP is incorrect, Corel Linux did not die, it became... Xandros. Corel was great in a Windows environment, I even had it logging into and NT4 Domain... I even used Caldera, their install allowed you to play Tetris while it ran, oh the memories.... And the horrors... DeadRat 5 - I still hate gnome for that.
The mayor had just purchased a site license for AV360, this should not have happened... ahem. Wonder if they can cancel that check that they wrote with QuackBooks 2009 and the official letters sent out with EMESS Werd 2009... hmmmmm...

You're daring Balmer to announce Very Very VERY Trusted Software aren't you?

Depends on whose morals you are using. The preacher's or the senator's? :D

So is Senator Bluto sending this to Dean Wormer?
Hey, we umm... don't like those things he ummm... says... yeah... and ummm now you know ummm... that we don't... you know ummm like it... umm what he says...
then sell 'service agreements'.
So what we would then be doing is providing them a definite area that has the soft target - and likely as not hitting the center of the 'blurry' area would provide the proper result.

the month is just beginning - and MS invariably opens more holes - they have the patent on Whack-A-Mole coding.

Steve Balmer is not a gang, troll yes, but not a gang of them, smells like it though.
Perhaps a port of WINE to Windows 7 is in order...
AAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaahahhahhah ahahhahahahaha.... i hurt myself...

If they cutback on R&D then how are they going to know which companies to buy?
