Pity the folks of Tompkins County, New York

Holy Crap.

You can't register your own TLD's, unless you host your own DNS server and make everyone on the globe us it

When I control the world i'll make it law and the punishment for not using it will be death. It's a nice form of population control no? So is genocide.
This post has no reason other than to show how fucked up I am does it?

Money, simple as that. Greedy bastards. That and most people don't know what an IP address is.

As one of those poor fools in Tompkins County, I can assure you that Microsoft heavily subsidises both of the higher ed institutions in town, as well as the city, so Microsoft has a willing legion here.

Same deal here, microsoft "donates" its shit to our schools. Now we're forced to use windows, even though our comps can't handle anything over 98, so they're unreliable and generally shit. Plus, using 98/95 means we don't get any support.


Installing Linux, which the comps could run, and run well, is out of the question. So we're stuck with shit unsupported software. Yet somehow they have the time to make sure nobody installes something unapproved, like linux, firefox, openoffice.

"I'll get it to run on OS X, I'm in."

   I know that BSD (which OS X is based on i've heard) is a
   flavor (right term?) of UNIX, but does Mac OS X really count?
   

  Do Windows users using Cygwin get to connect?

  What if someone is using an emulator such as QEMU, Bochs, or VPC?

  I'm probably taking this way too seriously :|.


Well geeze, I for one am glad they're standing up to all the false accusations that mozilla is more secure than IE. Everyone with a brain knows that every piece of software has bugs and you're not safe unless you buy expensive, bloated anti-virus software... Man, I can't believe the ignorance of some people... Those open source communists can suck it. Open source destroys lives and families, and is taking away jobs from Americans faster than Mexicans are. If it weren't for Microsoft, no one would have even used the Internet.

OSX counts. It's based on Darwin, Apple's open source implementation of BSD.

I don't see why cygwin wouldn't work. It's a UNIX layer on the NT kernel. What does cygwin report at uname?

[Jenda]

Count me -the fuck- in!
I would just looove the internet to be a UNIX only thing. I hope we would still have Wikipedia and Wiktionary??? They are GNU too!
Otherwise, I won't miss much of the old internet. Let's call it infer-net and our own super-net.

Those who cant do work for the goverment :fu: Microsoft. Goverment/Efficiency a true oxymoron.

[Orethrius]

Goverment/Efficiency a true oxymoron.

"Government Organisation" is far more apt.

Anyone want to set up a VPN for us?
