<0> apathy
<1> gates pays million of dollars in taxes
<2> I know linux would take days or weeks to install and get working properly.
<3> i am on linux right now, and it took me less than 20 minutes to install it
<4> let them keep themselves alive
<5> gates was giving away money long before anyone took him to court
<2> sure it did.
<6> depends on the distro
<5> how silly some people are
<0> [Command] I can have linux installed, configured, and on irc in less than an hour, easily
<7> dumb***, linux doesn't take weeks to install
<6> Mandrake should take you no more than 30 mins
<3> I use Fedora
<0> [Command] faster than windows can be installed
<4> well, first you start with the ***umption, then you look for stuff to support your preference, and if you can't find any, you make stuff up
<5> oh my gosh 5 people found dead here in mesa
<8> partitioning can take a little while
<1> he is always singled out by green eyes, hypocritical, leftists like [Command] as being insufficiently generous
<3> Janet just saw that
<4> for all Command knows, Bill Gates gives money away because he's trying to buy his way into heaven
<9> [Command], try Knoppix, it installs and sets up in about 1 munite, lightspeed in comparrison to ANY windows version.
<1> despite having created prosperity for untold thousands
<9> err, minute even
<0> besides, it's his money, he can do whatever he wants with it
<2> what a load of crap. Sometimes even the seemingly most simple application like an mpg to avi converter or something can take forever just to get working properly, there's always something that goes wrong. Computers are fallible.
<8> took me a couple hours to install mandrake, but that was years ago
<8> on a much more ****ty computer
<8> heh
<2> CometBaby: I love it, I'm being accused of being a leftist for criticizing Bill gates's business tactics.
<0> [Command] perhaps computers are too technical for you. maybe you should just watch tv.
<3> yeh MissLavey if you don't know what you are doing or depending on what packages you install
<8> PLUS i partitioned wrong
<1> [Command] it is typical and we hear it in here all the time
<5> whats wrong with his business practice
<8> the hard drive was less than a gb
<1> it's the old Commie concept .. don't let anyone stand out or move ahead ..
<2> Null_Away: maybe you should go **** yourself
<8> or maybe it had one whole gb, i forget
<4> Command: sorry, I didn't see any business tactics listed, all I saw was your unwarranted ***umptions about Bill Gates' motives
<0> ooo nice
<1> [Command] you are being defeated in this debate .. no excuse to get abusive. consider yourself warned.
<9> JanetB, other than he monopolizes and steals code from everyone to incorporate into his OS?
<2> You haven't convinced me, all you've done is throw a bunch of lame childish arguments at me.
<8> [10:01] <+[Command]> Null_Away: maybe you should go **** yourself
<8> speaking of lame and childish
<0> [Command] further, i don't think your inability to perform simple tasks with your computer is hardly an indictment of bill gates' business practices
<1> [Command] here is YOUR childish comments [09:01] <+[Command]> Null_Away: maybe you should go **** yourself
<3> as they say in The Weakest Link
<1> lol
<3> GOOD Bye!
<4> TheTailor: you have evidence that he stole code?
<1> really intelligent debate there
<5> TheTailor... he gives his software away, with a comupter, and how does he steal codes?
<1> you lose
<9> OcDoc, the court certainly does.
<4> TheTailor: ah ... the court
<9> OcDoc, and then there's the settlements for doing so
<1> you have not responded with any logical response to any of my posts .. which were well thought out and well stated. Instead you respond with abuse.
<4> I don't remember that, all I read was the media summaries ...
<2> CometBaby: Thought out and well stated, hm? LMAO!
<9> OcDoc, yes, the court, you remember them, the people that found M$ guilty, those guys.
<4> TheTailor: all I remember was a federal court that was hearing claims of monopoly
<0> [09:54] <2> ever since windows 98 pc's have been ****. <-- ah, for the good ol' days hehe
<5> hmmm... I thought they found them guilty of monolopy, not theft
<1> [Command] I am still waiting for you to say something well thought out and logical. So far we have heard rhetoric that comes straight from someplace like DailyKos. Obviously you are not used to having such nonsense challenged.
<4> TheTailor: if a company steals another company's product that's a criminal thing, right?
<2> CometBaby: Microsoft was found guilty several times of unethical business practices. Microsoft has a team of high priced lawyers to bail them out of trouble.
<3> Duuuude! Windows ****s! I don't know why, but it just does, oh wait yes I know why!!! because Bill Gates ****s, I don't know why he ****s he just does, oh wait yes I do! He is RICH!
<4> not monopolistic business practices
<0> `426Hemi any argument beginning with duuude! need not continue :)
<1> [Command] as I said earlier. I always thought the anti-trust laws were supposed to protect us .. the consumers .. not competitors like netscape
<4> Command: several times? could you name more than once?
<10> who is the ***hole judge who required doctors be present at the execution to make sure the criminal is completely unconcious before getting the lethal injection?
<1> Bill Gates problem was that he was a slow learner .. ..
<10> geezus christ. did he think about the 16 year old girl that ****er raped and murdered 25 YEARS AGO???
<1> he resisted putting Democrats on the payroll
<3> salstress, don't know, it was the 9th circuit court of appeals though
<0> CometBaby the real problem with the anti-trust solution sought by the litigants is that it attempted to force Microsoft to inflict crap like Real Player and Netscape on me, the consumer, when i do not want them by FORCING microsoft to install them on my pc.
<1> or doling out big contributions to clinton
<3> and they are know to be EXTREMELY dumb ***ed
<3> known
<10> that 9th circuit needs to be blown up
<5> Gates problem was he did not want to pay democrates :D
<1> he learned the hard way
<1> I have to go .. husband is ready for breakfast
<1> bbl
<3> the writting of software should be considered a first ammendment issue
<4> Hemi: copyright?
<10> U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel had expressed concern that two of the three chemicals used in California, which should kill within a minute, sometimes took several minutes before stopping the condemned person's heart. The state then agreed to provide an unidentified anesthesiologist to attend the execution.
<3> Microsoft got screwed because it didn't want to include other peoples software into its OS
<0> i really think if we're going to bother to have a death penalty, it should be death by sandpaper
<2> OcDoc: Google for "microsoft found guilty". It turned up 1,750,000 results.
<10> OH POOR POOR RAPIST/MURDERER, having to possibly wait an extra 2 minutes before falling asleep
<3> Microsoft got screwed because of basic layman jurors who don't have a clue about software
<4> the only leverage Microsoft ever had was that they were huge and lots of people wanted their product
<3> Command, anyone can write a blog on "microsoft found guilty"
<4> Command: so you're saying that Microsoft has been found guilty 1,750,000 times?
<5> I still use windows, it is easy, and I can understand it
<4> wow that must be a record
<5> thats all that matters to me :)
<0> [Command] Google for "[Command] is a dumb***" returns 216,000 results
<3> HAHAHAH Null
<11> yes and they appealed 1,749,999 times
<0> that's the thing about google -- it's on all sides of every issue :\
<3> Results 1 - 10 of about 315,000 for [Command] is a dumb*** - 0.26 sec. <---hahahahaa Neeners Neeners I found more
<12> Null_Away... John Kerry must have taken control of google.
<2> Null_Away: Google for "null is a faggot who pounds guys in the ***" returns 5,544,337 results.
<13> Racist or foul Language or Spam
<4> so Command's answer to my question, name one other time was "I don't actually KNOW of any other times, but it sounded good and I made it up"
<0> `426Hemi i'll bet my search caused some more to be cached
<3> hehehe
<0> `426Hemi altho since the servers are distributed it could just be luck of the draw
<14> they should use real ***ault rifles in the biathalon
<15> [Command], you are devoiced (Requested by SonOfSpam )
<14> not those wussy guns
<16> You had your fun.
<9> OcDoc, Gates acted illegally from the begining, he ruined many people in the process. Now, did he settle with them later, sure, and that's good, but it doesn't make him right.
<3> Results 1 - 10 of about 2,640,000 for Microsoft innocent - 0.26 sec.
<3> I win!
<4> THeTailor: I never said he was right ... or ethical ... I asked questions and cast doubt on the allegations
<9> OcDoc, Gates also is giving ****loads of money away, and I think in the end he will be seen as an alright guy.
<5> what did he do illegal in the beginning?
<3> there are more pages about MS's innocense than microsoft found guilty
<9> JanetB, thwarted competition, in a number of ways.
<4> I think the whole concept of federal antitrust law questionable, but the question of STEALING other companies' product for his own use I doubt seriously
<5> in what way
<9> OcDoc, well it's absolutely been shown he did just that, not him specifically, M$.
<3> poor guy has major issues
<4> TheTailor: thwarting competition by being big and popular with the consumers is completely legit
<9> OcDoc, nobody argues that, but that isn't what happened.
<4> TheTailor: and that was what I was asking evidence for, which, by the way, I STILL have not received
<17> Supporters of some of Mogadishu's militia leaders have clashed with an armed Islamist group which says it is trying to establish law and order.
<9> OcDoc, well I didn't prosecute him, what you should pay attention to was the FACT that they were found guilty.
<18> OJ was acquitted, too.
<4> I don't think that an antitrust suit mentioned theft of other companie's software code at all frankly
<5> I mean, I get my product in to peoples homes, I give a good prouct, thats is worth what they pay... is that thwarting my competition?
<4> TheTailor: WHAT they were found guilty of is much more important to me
<9> OcDoc, most of that is being settled out of court, for good reason.
<9> OcDoc, anti trust
<4> TheTailor: gee, you mean crimes are being settled out of court these days?
<9> OcDoc, I'm not pissed at Gates, his people did this, not him personally.
<9> OcDoc, and Gates is actually in my opinion acting well, he is straightening it out, good.
<4> TheTailor: what you don't seem to get is that I don't trust the feds any more than I trust giant corporations
<5> I am sorry from what I see, his whole crime is becomming to rich and big
<4> what I want is EVIDENCE
<9> OcDoc, who you or I trust means nothing.
<9> OcDoc, then read the case.
<4> TheTailor: I don't want to read the case ... I read much of it in the news at the time and the whole thing seemed very vague and more like a power struggle than a crime
