After careful consideration, I've decided to learn Gtk--. I
figured that if I used a work around I'd only have to make
another one for other things, so Gtk-- will clean that up
(hopefully.)
There's this OneVote thing at school. Channel-One (a stupid
morning news program that they play during homeroom,) wants
all the highschool students to vote for president, governer
and district rep. They're doing this to get us interested
in politics. Bah! They didn't even have a write in box
(votes done via web, yep their server crashed after all the
schools had their students do it at the same time :)! I
want to vote for McCain (you heard me,) but no. They had
the independent part buy and the Green party (the heck?
green?), but NO write in. Ohh well, I voted for Bush if you
had to know. I know he badmouthed the net, but so does
every other politician. Bush was just being flat out honest
on his position.
Okay enough politics. Another thing is I finally got
gNapster and tried it out. I must say its impressive, this
whole p2p thing I mean. My philosophy on it is this.
Abstract things should be 100% free. Information,
knowledge, books, music, photography and other visual arts,
movies, etc. That doesn't mean source code mind you. They
can keep their code so long as its freeware. (but idealy
everything should be public domain.) Pretty much anything
that can be expressed in 1s and 0s is free. Of course we
get into more complicated matters such as authers rights,
but pretty much things are copywritten, so don't plagurize,
and
if the author wants money he can publish his work on
hardcopy. Hardcopy isn't abstract, so that's gonna cost.
Just thought I'd put my 2 cents on this issue.
Now if y'all excuse me, I have some Jimi to download.
