We know, you always put yourself first, and would keep buying Chicom till the US went belly up, completely content because you thought you got the best deal or product yourself. Or maybe you'd just move there, you're probably only here because we're on top for now, but that could change one day, and so would your desire to support us further, based on your comments. Hasta la vista.
They were shipped by Red Flag I mean Hat with their Linux so they are part of the core product. Several affecting security tools like seamonkey, openssh, freeradius, ipsec, etc, not to mention the half a dozen or more holes in the kernel, looks like swiss cheese without all those patches.
We're being taken over by foreign industry, one of the last havens we have left is software, yet there you are running your Knoppix Linux, and trying to convert others.
No, they are third party products that Red Hat ships with its core product in case users want to install them. The Flash player ships with Windows. Do you blame Microsoft when there's a security flaw in Flash? Microsoft includes Flash bugs in its security bulletins.
Several affecting security tools like seamonkey
Now I know you're a BS artist. Seamonkey is the name of the combined suite consisting of Firefox and Thunderbird plus chat and html authoring. It replaces the old Mozilla suite. It is not a security tool.
I just believe in capitalism and abhor subsidies. You are subsidizing shoddy business if you buy an inferior product from a company just because they're American. This encourages further shoddy business, leading to a decline.
Or business could wake up like the U.S. auto industry did after getting hammered by the Japanese and finally start making products that people actually want to buy.
Yeah. We really believe that you actually use unix on a daily basis. /sarc
Gee, and the fine folks at Knoppix are making how much money off me?
None?
Not that it would matter to me. I'm not willing to suffer with inferior alternatives like MS-Windows, when I have the option to use an operating system that is so far and away ahead of anything MS has in terms of security and reliability. The question for me is "Does it help me work better?" The obvious answer is, Yes. Your constant shilling for Microsoft is so transparent that it is laughable.
I'm sorry that you think that Linus Torvalds poisoned your dog, but your fanaticism is a sad thing to have to witness on this conservative forum, which you never participate in except as a shill for Microsoft.
Do you actually have any political opinions? I asked before about the 2nd Amendment, which of course you ignored, because it is an obvious political topic, and you are apparently not allowed to express an opinion about political things on this site. It leads one to wonder what your motivation is.
Other than just attempting to hijack a threads and annoy people.
You have long since shown yourself to be a pathetic excuse for a human being who is unable to get beyond a 5 point list of talking points.
He probably won't answer you on the 2nd because he would have to get permission from his master in Redmond, and given his personal socialist/liberal leanings, he's not likely to give his permission to speak against it because it was tarnish his shill on a conservative forum.
Hardcore conservative, obviously. Which is why I don't get along with those celebrating the new Chicom laptop with their favorite foreign software preinstalled.
I don't know why you find Microsoft products to be such a sacrifice. I use them and don't feel like I'm making a sacrifice at all.
Go figure.
LOL you guys sure do get desperate when I point out your love of foreign clones of US products. I have several guns in my collection, including an AR-15 with mods I did on my own. My father was a sharpshooter in the service, and I could probably outshoot most of you left handed. In my family, we deer hunt with muzzleloaded pistols and rabbit hunt with recurve bows, got to make it a challenge somehow.
My Browning Golden Clay is stamped: "Made in Japan".
BTW: You did know that Browning is owned by Fabrique Nationale, and has been since 1977. Give it up dude, your buy American protectionism is dead. You can't get around the fact that we really do have a global economy now, and it's becoming more intertwined every day. There ain't no going back.
Do you put BP gas in your car? Citgo? Shell?
Actually, it's not obvious.
That's strange, since the only thing you do on this forum is shill for microsoft.
BTW: When I wrote that I was refering to your master in Redmond, not you, but I like how you quoted it out of context and made it look like I was refering to you.
Nice.
Do you do freelance work for Reuters?
You mean the software by Novell? The American company that will receive money for every Linux laptop that Lenovo ships?
Shooting since I was four, 40/40 in the Army, let's have at it!
An American company making money on software designed by a Finnish programmer on harware from ChiCom sells?
Careful, his brain will go into a "Blue Screen of Death"(tm) and his Masters in Redmond will have to "" or power off and back on.
That's how he'd see it, although the truth is more like: "An American company making money on software started by a Finish programmer, with major submissions from American programmers, and currently maintained by that Finnish programmer in his status as a legal resident alien in the United States."
As far as hardware coming from foreign sources, you'll be hard-pressed to find a PC these days that even has 50% American parts. I wonder if he buys AMD chips, since they come from Germany.
