I fully understand that this is AOL's client and that they have the right to change it so no one else can use it. What I don't really understand is that AIM is free to any Windows user. They don't want to make a linux version which they also have the right to do, but it doesn't make sence to block out other ppl trying to get in. The service is free anyways. If anything they should fell honored that they have other ppl trying to use this free service. This kind of reminds me when I
was like 3 or 4 years old and I wouldn't let anyone else play with my toys.
At the risk of not sounding like a geek what is H2G2? I know that Douglas Adam created the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, but I have never heard of this. Someone please tell me.
Freedom is one of the most important things in this world. Many people died to make sure that you and I have freedom in todays world. Company's of today have forgotten about that. They care about making a profit. They want to make sure that they control the market and not the consumer. They are also afraid of the internet. It lets people talk to each other world wide. They can share ideas and even technolgy. With this tool company's are afraid they will no longer make a profit. We have to make sure that these companies don't take away our freedom. Our freedom to speak, learn, and disbrute information. Without these freedoms the internet is dead. Company's fail to realize this and try to limit these freedoms. If company's take these freedoms away there will no longer be a internet. Then all the companies will face extinction, and it will be there own fault.
I think this is good that GB is doing. I agree that GB is kidda out dated but this is just a step. A step that I think all compaines should take. This even might get new people into programing. Which would be really cool.
Well I must say I did very well on this test. Three of the questions I aswered yes to. That must mean I'm a killer. You better watch out for me I might come to your school and go on a mass killing spree. Yet I've never been known to seek violence as a way to solve my problems. But this test says I would so therefor you better lock me up and throw away the key. And even though I'm a smarter than avavrage person who excels in school, you should destory my education by putting my in jail. Who knows by the time I acully got out of jail maybe I would go on a mass killing spree. If I'm going to get accused of something I didn't do I might as well do it
