Review: OpenSUSE 11.2 - Is this a joke?

I've tried quite a few GNU/Linux Distributions in the past, everything from Arch Linux to Sabayon Linux. I've liked quite a few of them. My first distro was Redhat Linux 5.2 which I had running on my AMD 486 DX4-100Mhz machine when everyone had Pentium 2's. Since then a lot of things have changed in the GNU/Linux environment. Compare Redhat 5.2 to Windows 98, and then compare Redhat 5.2 to Fedora 12. You can't claim so much has changed from Windows 98 to Windows 7.

I've used OpenSUSE so long ago I still remember calling it SuSE. I had tried it when version 5.3 came out on 5 CD's (and more for source). I had also tried the professional versions of 8 and 9 which I thought were pretty decent. I eventually grew tired of the old software not being kept up to date with Upstream. I switched to Gentoo, then Ubuntu and then to Fedora when version 11 was released.

United Nations Agenda 21

American Thinker found this interesting piece of information from the United Nations Millenium Papers Issue 2 (Page 5):

Participating in a UN-advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy-fixated groups and individuals in our society such as the National Rifle Association, citizen militias and some members of Congress. This segment of our society who fear 'one-world government' and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined 'the conspiracy' by undertaking LA21. So, we call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management, or smart growth.

Population Control - The Disappearing Male

A scary documentary from CBC which goes over the fact that sterility rates in the male have increased by 50% since the 1950's. They also discuss the trend in the growing amount of females born vs males.

What I found chilling is that the industry keeps changing the definition of sterile. It used to be anything less than 60 million sperm, and it went down to 20 million. They even talk about making the definition 10 million.

Novell - Software Patents = Success

The Innovative People of Novell

Unquestionably, the greatest satisfaction comes from working with the innovative people of Novell. We are a diverse global community. Open source luminaries. Inventive people who write more software patents per capita than anywhere else. Technology expertise across software domains. This technical diversity has contributed to incredible breakthrough as I’ll mention below. I thank my closest colleagues—Novell Fellows, Distinguished Engineers, Business Unit CTOs, architects, programmers, engineers across several continents individually and collectively for their partnership and fellowship—but will not mention names for the fear of omission.

The Cost Argument: OpenOffice vs MS Office

First we look at OpenOffice and it's $0 price tag. It's updates also have a $0 price tag. Want to give a free copy of OpenOffice to your friends? You can do so legally without much trouble. In fact passing out free copies of it is common and wanted. It's also perfectly fine to upload a copy of OpenOffice to any server and have people download it for free. OpenOffice also includes most of the features you get from Microsoft Office. You can get OpenOffice here.

Tomboy 1.1.1 - Includes Windows-only features

It is interesting to note that a new version of Tomboy has been released with a feature that is only possible to use on Windows. It is now apparent that Mono applications aren't being made to help GNU/Linux. How do you help GNU/Linux by adding OS-specific features that are exclusive to Microsoft?

If anything this further divides users as someone switching to Linux will immediately be aware it has less features.

What!? I'm crazy?

It seems a lot of people think its amusing to think that banks secretly control things... This following news article is just for you:

Yahoo the Default Search in Ubuntu

It was recently discovered that Yahoo is now paying off Ubuntu to have them used as the default search engine in Firefox on Ubuntu. At first glance this didn't seem too bad, just annoying (who doesn't hate those Yahoo toolbars other Yahoo bullshit). I thought about it more and read some opinions from people. There are a few things that concern me and they are listed below.

- Yahoo search is now powered by Microsoft Bing. This means Ubuntu is even more microsoft-centric. First the inclusion of Mono and it's related poor quality apps. Now Ubuntu is helping Bing reach critical mass.

I'm not crazy! _You_ Are....

I do a lot of personal research into conspiracy theories. A lot of material makes sense, and a lot of it is utter bullshit. A lot of it is counter intelligence - an act of deliberately confusing the enemy with conflicting information. In the case of conspiracy theories some authors have a lot of useful information but they pack it with reptilian-alien-human-hybrids. The net benefit of this is that if someone starts to talk about masonic agendas or HAARP, you have a truckload of nuts to point at and use to make fun of the theory.

“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”
- Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, patron of the World Wildlife Fund

However it is not simply a theory that those who run this world want to start locking things down. It's also not a theory that they also want to reduce the population. Books by Lord Bertrand Russell (The Impact of Science on Society - 1952), HG Wells (A Modern Utopia -1905 , The New World Order -1940), Aldous Huxley (Brave New World - 1932)

I'll be putting some of those books up on this website (the ones under the public domain). While old and dusty, they accurately portray exactly what is going on in this world because it's all planned in advance.
