No, you don't. Not that Microsoft isn't loathsome, but there was a hacker culture long before Microsoft and there will still be one long after Microsoft is history. Any energy you spend hating Microsoft would be better spent on loving your craft. Write good code - that will bash Microsoft quite sufficiently without polluting your karma. This seems unlikely - so far, the open-source software industry seems to be creating jobs rather than taking them away.

No. We simply believe that proprietary software is hurting our society. If Microsoft abandon restrictive licensing clauses and adopt open formats, we will remove our Why Not Windows page. We are not an anti-Microsoft organisation, but instead focus on freedom in software. top

Not one bit. I love technology as a whole, and I’m drawn towards technology that lets people solve problems and express themselves in simple, intelligent ways. I appreciate design and elegance, because what isn’t in a product or a design is becoming as important as what is. Right now, Apple’s technology sits in this confluence most neatly, but I am excited for Vista and have no doubt it will be successful.

Category Tracker: Internets × Macintosh 2007 — Click To It: PermaLink — Talk About It: Comments (38) While I was working these past weeks, I had a friend approving my comments. Oh sure, I took time out of my busy schedule to read each and every one (because I love me the comments that much), but I just didn't have time to weed through the spam and haters every time a comment needed to be approved. Rather than let them stack up for a month, I had somebody lend a hand.

There's not much point in hating imaginary entities, even if your government does call them "people." Microsoft products are frustrating to use. They're not even designed to work as well as possible. They're designed primarily to make people send their money to Microsoft. Duh... I don't like TV shows either. They're not designed to entertain or educate me. They're designed primarily to make me stay in front of the TV long enough to watch some commercials.

OpenSSH 3.8 enables untrusted X11 forwarding by default when connecting to an ssh server that supports untrusted X11Forwarding. Most ssh servers for GNU/Linux are versions of OpenSSH that do support untrusted X11Forwarding, so using OpenSSH 3.8 from Cygwin will result in a connection that uses untrusted X11Forwarding by default.

Microsoft .NET (pronounced "dot net") is a freely-distributable programming framework from Microsoft that provides a number of features and advantages over the basic Windows operating system.

It never ceases to amaze us when an otherwise "normal" person ignores the very real suffering of the thousands of victims of true hatred and intolerance on our list and accuses us of being a "hate site" merely because we memorialize the plight of victims and call for an end to Islamic terror.

You guys believe there is no God, but you can't prove that there isn't. So being an atheist obviously requires at least as much faith as being a Christian.

The internal amplifier inside the AS-P6000 subwoofer was co-designed by BASH Audio, one of the world’s premier subwoofer amplifier companies.

This co-development is one of the reasons we can offer the AS-P6000 at it’s low retail price.

BASH® is a patented technology that mates a tracking power supply to a Class AB output stage to deliver efficiency that is comparable to Class D

No. They are temporary events. The USA Constitution is a genius code of strong and happy society , and we should insist them to obey the Constitution. We should love them and pray for them, and God will work miracles. Bloody Revolutions are terrorists' acts done by criminals, and they are hateful to God. The society never gains from it. We should obey the law, because it is a blessing to have a law and regulation in a society and it is a curse to have an anarchy and disorder.

I don't hate anyone individually. People are mostly fine when taken as individuals, but when you put them all together you get this incredibly fucked up thing called "society." Society fucking sucks, but the trouble is you can't rid of it without killing everybody and that would just be dumb. So as long as society continues to be stupid, I will continue to be an asshole who bitches about it whether anyone cares or not.

Microsoft .NET is a part of the system that supports modern software, similar to the "Java virtual machine". With Windows XP SP2, .NET 1.1 is pre-installed. With Microsoft Vista, .NET 2.0 will come pre-installed. Many modern programs require .NET to run, although 2.0 is quite new. Since .NET 2.0 is basically a "sub-system" it is not going to affect your system or other software unless you run a .NET program.
