Not quite. A goblin is a little smaller and doesnt live under a bridge...
I take it the chance of "winning?" Vista 7 Ultimate doesn't convince you
to "suck up your pride" (their words) and throw one of these things? ;)
Talking of parties, I wonder if anyone here had a new year one relying
on a Zune for the jukebook? Maybe MS should consider giving them
something as way of compensation?

People got burned hard by Vista ... even the so-called "evangelists", so
I don't think many of them will risk repeating that mistake with "7".
The party's over. It's time for a reality check: Windows is garbage,
always has been, always will be, and the only thing maintaining its
ubiquity is Microsoft's racketeering contracts.

Believe it or not I may well have a party (well a drink at the pub with
a few friends) as I think the Windows 7 release day will be a time of
celebration, it will be when (I believe) Microsoft gets a wake-up call
thats been many years coming...

Is there an admission charge? Food & Drinks are free? Sorry but I just had
to ask. Can I exchange Vista 7 for a bottle of Lagavulin? If all the answers
are yes and the party is somewhere between Udine and Trieste, I'm on my way.

Err, I think you have the answer Roberto. They give the community sweet
FA and give nothing back. It's all about take, take, take.
Goblin
Hadron please read what you type.... You say (like I see myself) "Nearly
every review" so not every review is it....
and Hadron I can see the homophobic insult you are trying to suggest in
your response... You are a biggoted and foul individual whose "jokes"
have no place in here.
Also I would like to add, there are some very good reviews when
comparing Vista 7 to 7, however compare it to XP and ask the question
"What does 7 offer that cannot be achieved either natively or via 3rd
party software in XP?" and also "As a 7 user, what can you do that I as
a Linux user cannot?"
Maybe to encourage an answer from you Hadron I will offer a prize. That
seems to be the only way proprietary loyalty is received these days..
Are you calling me a Freetard? - Thanks very much. I'd rather that
then be associated with the sleazy and foul world you reside in.

Shouldn't you quit peddling your poop and lying that Roy and Homer are

Roy is a lying idiot spammer, and Homer is an extreme frothing hypocrite who
spent his entire career developing proprietary software, and would do it
again in a flash if the money was right.

I think the only reason Linux is any good at all is because for-profit
corporations have gotten involved and paid some of the developers.
Certainly Torvalds couldn't have worked on the kernel full time for years
without generous corporate support (jobs and salaries and stock options).

Hence the great majority like it so there wont be any gay soirees with

I had one from a Nov2008 post I made, but the link was broken so I posted
the first one I found.
Just Google for 'open source conference cancelled' without quotes and you'll
see lots and lots of them.

if the user DFS really is a furniture store then I'm certainly guilty of it.
Talking of stalking though what about the monitoring (and quoting) of
the BN IRC channel? Some people here put in alot of effort to monitor that.

If you want to spin "any good at all" into "good" feel free - you're a Linux
"advocate" after all.
I think the Linux kernel is a good software product, and some of the GNU
utilities are good, and the package managers can be brilliant. But as a
day-to-day platform for end-user or business computing it's not capable of
carrying Windows' suitcase.

Of course it matters how it got to a certain level: so far it's by shameless
thieving and cloning.

Goblin
"A fool and his money are soon parted"
Quote www.dfs.co.uk : "The money I make developing end-user apps that
run only on Windows is right for me"
So thats why you are scared of the FOSS model. Thanks for explaining.
Would you like to say what apps these are?
I wouldn't think so and I don't believe you.

So you do have a problem with Microsoft do you? Shall we list some

You hit the nail on the head!
It's all about take, take, take, and very little giving, except
for hypocritical bull shit which the Linux community has

_Goblin is another BN shill that camps out on the chat channel

him.
Obviously the guy is some kind of jester in King Schestowtiz's

Where do I mention IQ? When have I ever mentioned IQ? Since you are
obviously reading the chat channel maybe you would like to quote me and

You won't because either you know there isn't any. PROVE ME WRONG.
Peons? The last time I heard that word was when The Rock used it in an

Nice sentiment, but (and this is nothing personal) I intend to
completely ignore and be oblivious to the Vole's Next Big Thing® release
day, just as I have with every other uninspiring piece of racketeering
junk they've ever infested society with, so I shan't be celebrating.
Days such as those are not for celebrating, they're for mourning, and
quiet contemplation of how to cure this disease called Microsoft.

Take your meds [Homer]...
And stop earning your living using proprietary applications and
advocating FOSS to others.
Ruel Smith
In today's economy, quite a few open source software developers have
picked up jobs involving writing proprietary software. Nothing is bad
about it. One has to keep the money flowing somehow and writing good
software, even if it is proprietary, is sometimes a joy.

Except it's shamelessly hypocritical when it's done by various cola
"advocate$". It means the "Free software" principles they pretend to
espouse on cola mean nothing compared to money.
7, Homer, Linosuck, Spamowitz, Ballard, HPT, (p)Rick, Telnet Terry,
Kohlmann... I'd say virtually all cola "advocate$" are money-grubbing
pretenders.
> One has to keep the money flowing somehow
I get it - it's more talking from both sides of their mouth: they insist on
being paid to write software, but they insist on not paying others for
software.
> and writing good software, even if it
> is proprietary, is sometimes a joy.
No doubt, but especially if it's proprietary. Why give away something
valuable on which you worked your ass off, just so IBM and Novell and
frothing Linux nuts can freeload it?
I develop end-user apps, and it's a hoot and a big satisfaction to deliver a
tool that gives users quick point-click insight and slice/dice capabilities
into data they didn't have before my app. On the other hand, supporting
end-users can be a huge PITA. If the VPN goes down, or their ODBC settings
get munged, or a 3rd party object fails, my app reports the error and I get
the call.

First advice: filter him out.
Second advice to whom it may concern: RFC2646, RFC1855 and RFC3676

Open source software does not need to be no-cost (free). Developers
that loathe non-free (cost > 0) software, even if it was open source
should not work on proprietary ones to avoid being called a hypocrite.

There are different reasons: a summer coder at Google would enjoy
giving away their creation for free since it exposes them to
prospective employers. Some do it for fun. Some do it because they got
stuck somehow with GNU-GPL. Some do it because of a contract. Open
source developers can charge for their work, no question about that.
Hadron
Only a true Linuxhead could rfc that.
It's easy.
The standard sig seperatpr is "-- ".
Roy does not use one because he HOPES peoples replies will include
signature SPAM links. Now admittedly I COULD add a new regexp to my Gnus
signature separator matcher - but I cant be arsed. Why should someone
like Roy who pretends to all for "open standards" be so reluctant to use
one himself? Hit count. Thats why.

I have advice for "Hadron", who is /always/ boosting Windows as a platform
for running open-source software:
OSS running on Windows is still... running on Windows.
There are solid reasons why one should push for Linux as the platform for
open-source applications in preference to Windows. A much wider range of
operating environments is just the beginning.

The accusation of "hypocrite" only makes any sense if you misrepresent

You keep saying that you snivelling little oik. But meanwhile I'll keep
advocating rsnapshot and automated, configurable differential backups to
local and remote HDs while YOU "advocate" using DVDs and "cp -r" when
the urge takes you. My god, is there no end to your ignorance and
inability to see the wood for the trees? It reminds me of when I
politely reminded you that using the NVidia installer would hose your
Debian down the road. You started showing off, calling me ignorant and
"anti choice", and then promptly hosed your own system a while later
when the kernel changed. We can add you sucking up about how leaving
root shells open is "perfectly ok", or how downloading and unarchiving
as root is "perfectly safe". You're an idiot. One of the rare ones as
you actually really think you know it all. And time after time after
time you come out with nonsense similar to the stuff I outlined above.
Moshe Goldfarb

Microsoft will probably count bribe-takers and then enumerate the 'parties' that
'celebrate' the Second Vista. Goblin, it gives them vanity value. It's like
buying an Xbox to run Linux on it... it may still be valuable for Microsoft.

You sure seem to be very nervous about Microsoft and their
parties these days Roy Schestowitz.
Maybe you should drop stink bombs at all the ones in your area?
Oh, silly me, you already came up with that idea.
Why are you so afraid of Microsoft Roy Schestowitz?
Can't Linux compete on it's own?
