Here's an idea

If you're a freetard, but you need to run Windows at work or something, I've got an idea for a utility that will keep you true to the cause.

Well, a mockup for it anyways. I call it kanye-freetard-notify:

The writing was on the wall the second Webkit (really WebCore, as it was called then) was released. It was obvious to everybody that KDE should have just dropped KHTML like a bad habit and spent the 6-12 months necessary retrofitting the new core back into KDE. This is essentially what the FreeBSD crew did when Apple released (under no obligation, remember) their code to remove the Giant Kernel Lock. But, no. The KDEtards pissed and moaned for years about Webkit until finally lying down like a bitch.

Even BSD projects aren't always immune. Remember the shit fit Wine threw when *gasp* commercial entities took the code, made modifications, then sold the result for money? Holy crap what a storm of hypocrisy. Yeah, I know, they were freetards all along and picked the wrong license.

But I'd say the GPL itself is a bigger obstacle than its adherents. The other licenses you named lack the pseudo-religion stuff built right into the license and were derived from the points of view of university researchers (often looking for a way to make a clean jump from grad student to professional with instant portfolio) and corporate interests.; September 23, 2009 at 1:32 PM

That's true the Winers were pretty much just crypto-GPLtards. The funny thing is that despite all the whining that the proprietary forks of Wine were giving things back until the whole big shit storm and then Cedega, for example, just stopped caring and just went there own way. What makes it more funny is that even today, most of the improvements to Wine come about through Codeweavers' proprietary fork of Wine called Crossover. Without them funding Wine, many of the improvements seen in the last few years wouldn't have happened. Once again showing that it takes a commercial entity to turn an open sores project into something more successful rather than relying on the bazaar of freetards.; September 23, 2009 at 1:37 PM

Which is why I've donated to the developers of LLVM and Clang in order so that we can take the first of many giant leaps to free the world of the hold the F$F has on other free software circles through GCC. I can't wait for the day that GCC can once and for all be dropped.

Actually LLVM by itself as a backend for the GCC compilers is already far better at code generation. Clang when it comes to C and Objective-C again are very mature and useful for production use. The major issues are the fact that C++ and Objective-C++ are not quite there yet and obviously Clang has to develop support for the numerous GNU extensions in order to support compiling the Loonix kernel.; September 23, 2009 at 2:04 PM

They'd better have faith: Clang is their project! Hopefully they don't decide to close it up before it's usable in a general sense, but given their history with FreeBSD, good faith on their part seems likely.

Frankly, who cares about compiling the Linux kernel and supporting GNU weirdness? I know LLVM was originally intended to be a drop-in replacement for GCC, but that's looking ever more pointless. I'm sure it's gotten better, but Linux has a history on depending on compiler bugs rather than standards compliant code. Fine, you still want it?

What do you mean? Clang is usable in the general sense for C and Objective-C which is why Apple uses it to compile products. Clang is just not quite there when it comes to it's C++ and Objective-C++ support nor does it yet fully support all the GNU extensions used by the Loonix kernel.

I'm sure it's gotten better, but Linux has a history on depending on compiler bugs rather than standards compliant code. Fine, you still want it? Add it in after you get C++ working."

Well if you don't care about that and are just writing standards compliant C code then you don't have to care because LLVM+clang will work perfectly for you. But yes, I'd agree that they should complete their C++ end before worrying about supporting all the GNU shit.; September 23, 2009 at 2:21 PM
Anonymous said...: Sorry, without C++ I'm not considering Clang usable in a general sense; I know this is a controversial viewpoint in C-heavy UNIX land. I know the FreeBSD kernel compiles, but, last I checked, the userland wasn't there yet. Naturally, ports will be hopeless for years to come given all the GNU dependence, and rightly so due to the availability of one compiler for so long. Personally, I think C++ support would net more traction for LLVM/Clang than GNU support thereby partially obviating the need for GNU support in the first place.; September 23, 2009 at 2:31 PM

Well then you can always just use LLVM as a backend to G++ and still get far better generated code. I'm not saying C++ isn't important, as I do lots of C++, but if you want C or Objective-C then Clang is production ready on that end.; September 23, 2009 at 2:33 PM

With direct downloads isn't even a hassle for the downloader, so I don't have to explain how to do things and just get something else done.

Considering it's price is also better than using bandwith from our company's hosting, as RS costs way less and helps keep heavy traffic away from the website and mail server.

What was not picked up as much in the media was his next sentence: "we need to make something better."

Sutor did not seem to be advocating the end of the Linux desktop, but rather was making a call to the desktop community to stop following Windows and OS X and begin a unique line of innovation."

Apparently his remarks weren't quite as inflammatory as the freetards made it out.

Old shit like that Toshiba laptop has theoretical output of 12 Mbit/s (which you'll never ever reach) with its USB 1.0. Forget that you need that port for other stuff like mice and accessories, which have moved completely to USB. Get a hub, you say? Yeah, right. Not only are we sharing paltry 12 mbit speed (you know, only 20% faster than 10-BASE networking invented in 1985), but USB 1.0 didn't work right with hubs. Did I mention the early USB chipsets were buggy, like most other chipsets of the 90s?

Then he goes onto say you can use it as a router. Really? We're going to depend on an underpowered device with a frankensteined setup of PCMCIA Ethernet (which is hard to find) and USB 1.0 to Ethernet (which is even harder to find) for our routing needs? How many connections would this thing be able to track? 200? Any old thing you pick up from Staples or Radio Shack is gonna be 5x more powerful than this thing, use less power, and be more reliable due to lack of moving parts.

Windows CE is $3 per device, and that's not even at the "bulk rate".

For example, Microsoft would really like for people to stop holding onto Windows 2003, 2000, and even NT 4 in some cases and offer limited functionality products at discounted prices. Databases are a saturated market, but it's not like the Linux ecosystem is the only other player. Perhaps you've heard of DB2, Sybase, and Oracle. You're right about Linux here but for the wrong reasons: Microsoft would like some of their share but because MySQL and frieds are the lowest hanging fruit.

Agreed. Right tool for the job.

I would. There's plenty of technology to be leveraged that's open source. For example, Microsoft dubbed JQuery the official frontend javascript/ajax framework for ASP.NET MVC. From their standpoint, why reinvent the wheel when a widely accepted solution exists. Likewise, ASP.NET MVC has been made fully open source as well (but under the MS license, not the GPL).

I use open source and proprietary software alike, as long as its the right tool for the job. Freetards, on the other hand, don't really care about the software, they care about the idealism and rooting for the underdog.

The blog entry from Carmi Levi at Betanews is always inspiring, especially some of the comments, like that:

"I'm sorry to hear of your lose, I lost my father 3 years ago and it seems like yesterday still.
My father died a day after his 80th birthday and never chose to use a computer. I'm a IT manager & consultant and my father was a private pilot when he was younger. In his late 60's he suffered a major stroke that left him paralyzed and in a wheelchair. His eyesight was so bad because of it I bought him a 52" bigscreen rear projector TV.
One day sitting with him I got the idea to bring my laptop with Microsoft Flight Sim over along with my steering yoke and see if I could get him interested since he was a pilot once.
His eyes went wide at how realistic the sim was and I would ask him what I needed to do at certain points of flight.
To make a few years of mutual enjoyment short; that technology brought us together in a way that we would not have had if it wasn't available. It gave my father a chance to relive the most enjoyable time of his life flying from New Jersey to Florida every couple weeks to just be able to sit on the beach in Miami.
Thanks for your article, I hadn't thought of those times with dad for a while."

Now, I don't care what he and his father used to have fun and get close, what really matters is that the right technology gave so much help to both and made their life better.

That was the case with Levi's father too. Technology gave him unprecedented possibilities, always staying connected with loved ones, organizing events, and possibly giving a scope for his life and many good moments.

I missed all that. My grandfathers were always into technology, just like me, always fiddling with new tech gadgets and looking for better ways to make life easier. But they died just before I was born. But whatever, I just want to make life easier for many more people (and possibly make a living out of it), and that's what I'm doing right now. In a senza I hate computers, dumb machines, but I love to work on them not because of the computers themselves, but because of the people who use them. I want to see people getting work done faster, people getting more time for their families, people enjoying their life.

Computers are here to make life better.; September 25, 2009 at 2:14 PM

WRONG. Computers are here for us to tweak and fiddle with so that they have to do less and are in no way uncomfortable. We don't want them to use up all their RAM, or use more than 1% of their processing power at any given time -- that would be a sin. Life's goal is to keep tweaking and tweaking and uninstalling things until the computer has to do as little work as possible. We should be doing all the work, not the computer.; September 25, 2009 at 2:38 PM

Tell this to Richard Shitman who think that shitty quality free software is better than high quality proprietary software.

I bet he think that its better to not give supply at all to people in need than proprietary supply (yeah I know this was lame and trollish); September 25, 2009 at 2:57 PM

The ultimate would be when there's so little for the computer to do that the freetard just shuts it off and goes outside to find a girlfriend. Stallman's vision realized.

You hit the nail on the head. Computers are tools, appliances, not wonderboxes. They are there to be used, not to be coddled and tweaked all the time.

It drives me nuts when people say something is for "stupid users" or its the "idiot user's fault". Really, its just an admission of their inability to make the appliance easy enough to use that people don't break it.

Washing machines rarely break because the user pushed the buttons in the wrong order.; September 25, 2009 at 5:34 PM

People thinks that Moblin 2.1 will compete with Windows on netbooks and desktop. Yeah. Because another spin of Linux is really what consumers want, right? It's not like they rejected it in the first place in favor of Windows XP.

It's going to be fun, imagine people calling support center and asking why it doesn't run Office, or where is Media Player, or why they can't use all the functions from their printer.; September 25, 2009 at 11:42 PM
Anonymous said...: My theory is that aside from "Windows 7 gonna stomp yo ass in October" there's little to report in the IT field. Desktop Linux seems almost dead in the water*, Apple's been unimpressive, and everyone is waiting for the Christimas season to see how netbooks and Win7 pans out. So we'll be seeing more and more bullshit articles from the usual "news" sites (aka poser freetard glorified blogs).
