The linux kernel is great if you know how to read english text, and know basic unix command line terms.

That couldn't be a more trolling statement unless you were wearing a troll costume... knuck, we know you hate Linux, about as much as Yiffy Kitten hating Xkeeper, or Erk telling everybody to use LunarPages because it's cost effective. Put a freaking sock in it already.

And where does the Linux is Communism anology come from? You get more confusing as the days pass....

This rediculous topic fails horse... I dare anybody to try and figure that out, because I can't.

I must be the only person who thinks ErkDog isn't saying use LunarPages.

Anyway, I know the benefits of open source, but they only work, when there is a body of users who well, work on it.

Open source is not inherently better. Good software is written by good (experienced) programmers who have some interest in what they're writing. Better software is written by good programmers working who also happen to be working in comfortable environment that suits their coding style.

Licensing is a minor aspect.

It's still better than microsoft. =D You have no argument. Die now, and stop increasing your postcount through empty headed flames.

You have no clue what he's talking about.

True, however, practically it certainly is.

The answer should most definatley be no, i mean, its a number, and all numbers have been around for eternity, right?

A long string of ones and zeros is nothing but a binary, or base two number with a multitude of digits, and this number can be converted into a decimal, or base ten number.

How can you copyright a number?
Dont ask me, ask the ones who allow it.
Numbers haven\'t been around for eternity, they\'re a concept of quantity and units that were made by humans(Just like letters, words, etc).

With that logic, one couldn\'t copyright a brand because it is made of a sequence letters.

Opensource fanboys and knucklogix is getting old.

I\'m sure over 95%(If not more) of PC users use Windows as their Operating system, Linux won\'t ever be used widely(or, by your average computer user) until it\'s extremely newbie friendly, supported by 90% of software, and comes on their harddrive when they buy a computer at Best Buy, Frys, etc.

Not trying to argue, but I thought I\'d mention that a few computer stores do sell systems with Linux pre-installed. It\'s rare, though, since Microsoft won\'t let them sell Windows if they do.

But of course, the point remains - until most computer stores sell it pre-installed (which won\'t happen unless it gets a huge popularity boost) and it becomes a lot easier to use and more supported.

someone before said that "there is only a few ways to make FTP Clients and stuff"

im going to use PHP as an example here

there is only ONE way to connect to FTP with php... why? because php developers dident think 20 different ways to connect is worth having.

its not what the program IS, its what the program can DO!

Sure, i can connect to ftp... .anyone can.... question is, can you display it? and HOW would you display it? what other features would you have to stand apart from other ftp clients?

This is what copyrighting your stuff is. So others cannot steal YOUR Code, and fuse it with there own, but, if they can, create their OWN code similar to yours.

And i would also like to point out, in most countries in the world, there is something called the intellectual license, or something like that, where you OWN what you have created, and therefore dont have to go to great lengths to copyright it, though, if you plan on your family or estate inheriting it after your death, then yes, copyrighting is best
