  4. Re:Let me be the first to say... on SCO Fiasco Over For Linux, Starting For Solaris? · · Score: 1

    The only reason Hurd isn't finished is because Linux the kernel has made Hurd obsolete. few are willing to work on it and so development is slow. If the same amount of developers who worked on Linux worked on Hurd we would be at Hurd 2.6.xx too. I would love to see a GPL3 Hurd being initialised. A bit better than using a GPL3 Solaris kernel IMHO. The use of a Micro Kernel would be very interesting too, especially with Torvalds' flames against MINIX. I'm in the camp for the choice. I greedily await another choice. Unfortunately it will no doubt be a severely outdated choice :(.

    [Mr. Money:]
    I woke up today
    Expecting to find all that I sought
    And climb the mountains of the life I bought
    Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy
    Unfortunately there is no one left
    But me

    I woke up today
    To a world that's ground to dust, dirt and stone
    I'm the king upon this withering throne
    I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea
    Now there're but ruins left to rule for me
    And... you see, it beckons me;
    Life turned its back on us
    How could you just agree? ...how? I just don't see...

    I woke up today
    To a world devoid of forests and trees
    Drained of every ocean, every sea
    Just like a useless brick upon the shore
    The morning after the storm
    That swept the bridge away
    Relentless tide
    No anger
    Just this relentless time
    That calls us all on
    But...

    I'm never crossing that line
    Leaving this world behind
    I will stay on my own
    On this bloodstained throne
    I rule the ruins and wrecks
    And the dust, dirt and stone
    I rule rage rod and rattling of bones

    I am on my own
    I am all alone
    Everything is gone
    Stuck forever here
    Already cold

    I'm never crossing that line
    Leaving this world behind
    I will stay on my own
    On this bloodstained throne...

    I'm never crossing that line
    Leaving this world behind

    On this bloodstained throne

    I'm the ruler of rage rod and rust

  11. Re:No surprise to those watching China on China Taking on U.S. in Cyber Arms Race · · Score: 1, Troll

    I have just read two books on Marxism within the last few days. They are a series of short essays from as far back as the 1960's published by the members of the British Socialist Workers Party. They consider Mao to have never been communist. They assert that communism can only be following the strict guidelines of Marx and that of all the revolutionaries Trotsky was the only one who cam close. As Marx said, the revolution will be the emancipation of the working class, by the working class. Mao's movement was never a grass roots movement. They were separated from the working class. They were Bourgois. This can be seen as to how they achieved order after the revolution and with whom. The Russians also did this from the 1920's. Especially after Lenin died. Following this train of thought, the world has never seen true capitalism but only State Communism. As far as continuing to have a communist agenda, if they are not practising what they preach (or even preaching it as you claim), how can China be considered communist at all? All "communist" governments asserted that communism would never be achieved until the whole world was communist. Lenin for example believed that with out revolution in Germany, Russia would be somewhat doomed. After fighting the whites... There was virtually no Working Class left. China never had that problem, but their revolution was never with the working class, the working class were not emancipated. I personally believe the world is not ready for communism. We are too reliant on our own labour and hierarchies. I look forward to the day that the last human retires as another machine takes over his job. Then with no work to do something amazing will happen. (Whether revolution or a renaissance). Now you probably don't agree with me. You are training in American Intelligence after all. But how can you argue with what revolutionary socialists who devoted their whole lives to Marxism said about Marxism? Remember this is in the 60's and 80's. The cold war. No socialist would omit those statements without careful thought. They criticised what the rest of the world thought was communist because they saw it as much of the sameness to what had always been. They went to Marx's words, Engel's words, Lenin, Trotsky etc. As soon as you remove democracy from each "soviet" because you fear losing power, you have lost communism. As soon as you treat one man more equal than another, you have lost communism. As soon as you decide what rights a man has in his own home on his computer, you have lost communism. Emancipation means freedom. Communism is about Freedom. But I guess you know best because capitalists never produced Propaganda either. Because there are no alternatives to the way we do things now. Because... Because...

  12. Re:dictatorships on Microsoft's IIS is Twice as Likely to Host Malware? · · Score: 1

    I think it would be fair to note that the BSD maintains a Quasi Government through out the dictatorship, still giving freedom to the Freedom Fighters outside the reach of the dictatorship. Every now and then another leader would come along and use the Freedom Fighters' ideas to launch an attack against the current dictatorship and cause another election between the two dictators. Freedom Fighter spies would also gain access to the dictatorship's secrets every now and then and implement policy against them. Finally the Freedom Fighters would be forever immortalized in the history of every dictatorship, no matter what the dictator wanted to do, because he would face a revolution if he chose to take down their names from The Great Temple of the About Tablet That Few Even Visit. And the saying BSD programmers code for free GPL programmers make free code. holds true. Viva la GPL.

    Yeah and just look on their forums how bad their support is. Only in August of this year were they getting XGL and Compiz working, and when one of the people had left his xorg.conf with 32 bit depth, the maintainer of the package didn't say hey you're meant to change that to 24 (like the error message he posted indicated) but hey ho rum tum tum to effect of something useless. That distribution doesn't work... their "famous CNR" is piece of crap with out dated software and breaks very easy. Linspire was the first distro I tried, mainly because I got a free coupon from some random site and had just got broadband... I stayed with it for less than a month because it was so useless. Ubuntu was like a breath of fresh air. Apt-get worked properly on it and CNR is no better than synaptic, just with far less software. Linspire is only better because it comes with codecs... which I only use now to play stuff from my ipod. I don't know why anyone would seriously think that Linspire works better than Ubuntu. Sure I recommend it as an option to idiots but they usually prefer Ubuntu anyway.
