I don't agree with this article, but what do others think? http://www.osweekly.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2486&Itemid=449 <http://www.osweekly.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2486&Itemid=449>
I dunno, but it reminds me of an old saying: "When you lay an egg, the only thing to do is to step back and admire it." The reference to Unix leads me to believe it was cut and pasted en masse from much older code. Look for an overworked programmer with very red ears.CG > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: [Freespire-Users] Loging Into Freespire 1.1.84 > From: "Paul G.

At the risk of setting off some of you off by the mention of the "V" word, I find this most interesting. It will be a good Christmas indeed for Linux. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36570 CG
You appear to be plugged into the use of "leapfrog technology", where lands without a phone system go cellular, solar cells enable refrigeration in deserts without electrical power,etc. The OLPC concept may be headed you way, a problem seems to exist with the hand crank, but 8GB thumb drives predict the elimination of power-hungry hard drives and solar cells may help alleviate the problem. If the $100 laptop cannot be reached, perhaps a $150 one with $50 coming from grant money may be possible. (Don't count on money from the Gates Foundation, which for some reason is married to the Microsoft OS.) The problem lies not with technology, but with producers of technology wanting to get paid for their efforts. The Chinese will likely provide the answer as they forgo immediate gain for the creation of larger markets for their products by helping to raise the standard of living in targeted countries. They used to call that "enlightened self interest." The proper use of microloans may also help build the economy. Freespire can certainly have a role to play in development, it's a matter of getting ducks in a row, teaching elephants to tap dance & overcoming inertia. Minor details.
If MS is out of it, that'll mean there is that much more money available for other equally important things. I overlooked the "k". That's a lot of kids & worth saving money for.

I can understand your excitement. When I stumbled across the Free spire project, I had a similar rush of enthusiasm. I would be as excited as you if I were able to help 500 young minds free up their human potential. (I've got 2 nephews in Brazil right now, I suspect to avoid the rigors of North Iowa winters). May all of you down there have a wonderful Christmas. It looks like a very productive new year ahead.

I repeated the actual joke (as far as memory would allow) from nearly 40 years ago. I suppose encouraging others to take up the study of Zen might make the same point, but meanings do get lost in cultutal differences. If features don't show up or work in the beta or RC versions, that's probably the best time to bring such matters to the programmers attention.

One morning, Papa Bear came downstairs for breakfast, only to find his porridge bowl empty. Baby Bear was right behind him and discovered that his bowl was also empty. "Who ate my porridge?" roared Papa Bear. "Who ate MY porridge?" wailed Baby Bear. From out in the kitchen came the voice of Mama Bear, "Bitch, bitch, bitch! I haven't even made the porridge yet! CG
