Jenny Spitfire Caldari	Posted - 2007.06.28 19:09:00 - [1] If everyone goes opensource and free software, your parents or you would be out of jobs and would be sleeping on the streets. Jumping into the opensource and free software, or closesource and commercial software bandwagon is like you are communist or capitalist. I rather be capitalist and earn big $$$. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria! Kali is for KArebearLIng. I 100% agree with Avon. Female EVE gamers?

Jenny Spitfire Caldari	Posted - 2007.06.28 20:00:00 - [2] Edited by: Jenny Spitfire on 28/06/2007 20:04:31 You both up there are funny. How can you compare commercialized software and service? You write the software for free but get paid for your service in writing the software. Let me guess, you are writing software for internal use in banks, health services, etc. Wait, you can also write software for free that plays MP3s and put it into the hardware and sell the hardware. Nothing is free in this world. Period. Edit: I made a general reply to the concept of free. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria! Kali is for KArebearLIng. I 100% agree with Avon.

Jenny Spitfire Caldari	Posted - 2007.06.28 20:25:00 - [3] Originally by: Patch86 I can assure you, the foundations of the earth will not crumble if you use open source software. Some companies will probably suffer, but so what? I have no interest in them. 99% of the population and 99% of the business world has no interest in them. And capitalism is most certainly not about charity. Domino effect. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria! Kali is for KArebearLIng. I 100% agree with Avon. Female EVE gamers?

Nothing is free in this world. Period. Edit: I made a general reply to the concept of free. Open Source Software is sometimes also being called FLOSS for Free/Libre Open Source Software. From the Free Software Foundation website: Quote: Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer. Read about it here before posting any more. Edit: I wrote my Master thesis in Sociology about OSS as a social movement, so I should know what I am talking about. Are you suggesting OSS is about fame seeking in the geek community? --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria! Kali is for KArebearLIng. I 100% agree with Avon. Female EVE gamers?

Jenny Spitfire Caldari	Posted - 2007.06.29 11:59:00 - [7] Why mock monopoly? Microsoft's monopoly did good to all of us. If it wasn't for that monopoly, your latest custom build 8474873467 horse power PC would not connect to your favorite Microsoft Mouse or the internet and you would be playing eVe from sharded clusters. HP only clusters, Dell only clusters, Sun only clusters, you get the picture. There is no such thing as 100% anti-monopoly or 100% anti-paid software is good. If free is so good, would you like to work for me for free? You will not be paid but you can have your name displayed in font size 70 for your work. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis.

Microsoft sells products. You pay for the software and you get free support. --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria! Kali is for KArebearLIng. I 100% agree with Avon.
