I know, they might even direct you to hacker sites to download OS updates! You've rightly caught them on that before, saving us from the hackers!
Wait, that was his own site, and it was just a Flash animation showing an update being done. Nevermind.
GE has probable single-handedly pushed that site up the Google ranks. He may even be why it shows in I Feel Lucky.
I obviously link Stallman to show those who have never seen it how radical the leftist is who's behind the Linux license. Guys like the flaming dude link it to push his philosophy, big difference.
Hopefully so, everyone needs to know more about that guy before his software takes any further hold of the Unix market. He's a far left fruitcake and he's got lots of guys like you boys who don't want anyone to know.
Show where I've linked to his site for anything other than clarifying the terms of the GPL, liar.
Also, please provide evidence that the Fedora Legacy Project is unreliable.
I'm sure he thanks you.
before his software takes any further hold of the Unix market.
One thing that makes UNIX great is the utilities available for it. Stallman's utilities (and utilities under his license) have been helping UNIX for years and are standard on many flavors. Apple uses it extensively, the standard compiler is GCC, and emacs is always there.
I am not a speed-freak to the point of trying to spend hours optimizing the compiler settings for programs. What I find attractive is Portage, which does, IMHO, a phenomenal job managing software.
i never tried gentoo i'll have to give it a shot sometime. :)
Nope--the guy was trying to get the program to read in English from Latvian.
Unless you know people that speak Latvian and could translate for the guy, you have nothing to say here as usual.
True. But you link to Stallman and post his junk around more than all of us here combined.
Yet you have the nerve to call us ardent disciples of Stallman.
Do you not see the irony here?
LOL..
Don't forget cybercommunists, digital terrorists, and all the other monikers Iggle can come up with LOL 8^)
Irish~Thought you might want to check this one out firsthand...8^)
I detest leftists like Stallman, and provide links to show why. You guys not only prefer to use his software, but push it on others constabtly with lies. On this very thread you act like tortoise is a genius, when he doesn't even patch his server! There's the "irony" you're looking for, that security by obscurity is actually the only thing protecting him LOL.
Nope--the irony is you claim that we preach Stallman's agenda, when more often than not, it's you who brings him up.
Second, show me the posts where any of us have pushed open-source software on others.
I don't know if he does or not. But at least tortoise doesn't come on the thread and post utterly vile crap on these threads--he adds to the discussion.
My guess is that your boss at MS upped your quota again...
The first thing many sysadmins do on other Unix variants is install the GNU userland for Unix. Fortunately, more and more commercial Unix variants are making this readily available for their platform. The GNU unix environment is so much better now that most Unix vendors do not even try to provide a decent proprietary environment.
I wonder if GoldenEagle is using GNU components on Solaris? He probably is and doesn't even realize it.
Probably. There is another aspect to this.
The number of developers for an OS directly contributes to the popularity and success of that OS. You've heard Ballmer say it, "Developers! Developers! Developers!" The need for developers is why Apple has given away their development tool, and so does Microsoft now (and the .NET compiler was always free).
Unix went closed very soon after it became popular. After that, compilers were proprietary and expensive. Who knows how much less UNIX would have grown with such a small developer pool.
Then comes Stallman. He developed GCC, a free compiler for UNIX. Now everybody could program for UNIX, and the developer base grew, and with it the OS.
GE, you may think Stallman is hurting UNIX, but UNIX got as far as it did partially thanks to him in the first place.
Let's see, say I have a server that is set up for web and database services (Apache, PHP and MySQL, with OpenSSH for admin). A bug shows up in sendmail, which isn't installed on my server. Only an idiot would say I should apply the sendmail fix to my server.
You probably don't know it, but you do the same thing when you use Microsoft's Auto Update. For example, it will not apply any IIS patches if you don't have IIS installed. This is why running Auto Update after installing IIS results in a bunch of patches, new and old, being downloaded.
I seen it, hehe
Nope I use CDE, Sun still provides it for their users who refuse to submit to the leftist Stallman.
He gave the impression he didn't patch ANYTHING, including his kernel, yet you boys wanted to throw him a ticker tape parade since he was using linux. An obsolete version of that too, LMAO!
