FSF Clarifies 'Inaccurate' Information About GPLv3

Torvalds' Ode to GPLv2

It's particularly interesting to note that the GPL, while it does compel TiVo to produce source code for their kernels, doesn't really keep them from building a box that runs Linux but won't let you change anything. The interesting aspects of this box are mostly in studying how it does what it does and how various open source tools and technologies are used to build an embedded application.

So far, it seems that people paid by Red Hat (Alan Cox) are more responsible (and less rushed to go forward frantically at any cost) than people paid by Novell (Greg Kroah-Hartman). Go figure.

We’ve Secretly Replaced the Shitty Zune You Thought You Were Buying With an Even Shittier One ★

There are three kinds of bugs in desktop operating systems: temporary (one-time errors or problems that relate to Internet resources); fixable (run a couple of commands or apply existing updates to take care of it); and serious (makes the operating system unusable, may never be properly addressed in the current release). Previous Mandriva releases have had at least one "serious" bug each, with many "fixable" (though you might have had to wait for a long time to get the patch to fix some things) and few "temporary" bugs. Mandriva 2007 PowerPack Edition is the inverse: mostly "temporary" bugs, with a few "fixables" and no "serious" bugs to speak

It’s known that programmers swear a lot. There’s always fucks, shits, cunts, bitches, crap. There’s the kernel fuck count, for example, which shows the number of findings of “fuck” and “love” in the Linux kernel, over different versions of the kernel.

ah...so sad windows code aint open source... :D 

list of tough questions for times when you hear entertainment industry representatives speaking and want to challenge their positions.

Facing these threats to our freedom, what should the free software community do? Some say we should give in and accept the distribution of our software in ways that don't allow modified versions to function, because this will make our software more popular. Some refer to free software as “open source,” that being the slogan of an amoral approach to the matter, which cites powerful and reliable software as the highest goals. If we allow companies to use our software to restrict us, this “open source DRM” could help them restrict us more powerfully and reliably. Those who wield the power could benefit by sharing and improving the source code of the software they use to do so. We too could read that source code--read it and weep, if we can't make a changed version run. For the goals of freedom and community--the goals of the free software movement--this concession would amount to failure.

We developed the GNU operating system so that we could control our own computers, and cooperate freely in using them in freedom. To seek popularity for our software by ceding this freedom would defeat the purpose; at best, we might flatter our egos. Therefore we have designed version 3 of the GNU GPL to uphold the user's freedom to modify the source code and put modified versions to real use.

The debate about the GPL v3 is part of a broader debate about DRM versus your rights. The motive for DRM schemes is to increase profits for those who impose them, but their profit is a side issue when millions of people's freedom is at stake; desire for profit, though not wrong in itself, cannot justify denying the public control over its technology. Defending freedom means thwarting DRM.

Recently I read somewhere that submitting bug reports is considered at contribution. I guess that's obvious, but for some reason it hadn't occured to me. I have reported bugs a couple of times! Excellent. That means I can stop feeling guilty about my lack of contributedness, and maybe go and read some ctrl-alt-del, content in the knowledge that I am not such a freeloader after all.

Some of the cool things you can install include w32codecs (for watching porn), mplayer (for watching porn), realplayer (for watching porn), frostwire (for downloading porn), azureus (for downloading porn), wine (for getting drunk while watching porn), plus a whole heap of other stuff that doesn't seem to have much to do with porn for some reason.

Reasons Internet Explorer is better than Firefox

I suspect the CD contains some secret government stuff, or the cure for cancer, or possibly some really good porn, so I hurry home immediate in order to investigate. The label has some writing on it. ” DSL 2.0 - Boot the computer with CD in the drive.”

“You’re just trying to avoid sending me Norton Antivirus, aren’t you.” If there’s one thing I know, it is that all computers need antivirus software.

“Hello, yeah, Tim. I’ve got this computer. A friend gave it to me and it is only a couple of years old but he got a new one so I’m trying to install windows on it and it doesn’t seem to be working I think it is because the keyboard doesn’t have enough keys.”

Sorry. What I was trying to say is, The World Wide Web was invented so that people who are not computer geeks can download porn. In order to use the Web you are going to need some kind of “Web Browser” (Damn those Department of Homeland Security fascist bastards). The best web browser available today is Mozilla Firefox, mostly because you can extend it with special plugins, such as “Titty Search”, “Save Porn in Folder”, “Flasherblock”, and “Flog This”.
