Wild Karma!!!

The Koala ventures into the unknown of consumer choice where now we have Windows 7 with difficult upgradability and system hunger, and Snow leopard showing bugs of self-distruct, and then we have but one choice of an OS with a design as rare as the marsupials of Australia and is as free as an animal in the wild.

The Bug!!!

THE AIM OF UBUNTU:

Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:

1. Visit a local PC store.

What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

It is the beginning of the end!!! Open is aggressive now, like never before, with the Ubuntu release of Karmic Koala coming up this October end and Lucid Lynx in mid April 2010 to be followed by Mystic Mammoth; the future seems bright for the Freemasons of the Wild in their war against the Orthodox Church of Proprietarians ...

Truth about Virtue ...

M.K. Gandhi's greatness is marked by virtue that may be described as under:

Virtue is never in her proper element but when death and danger seem to have hemmed her in on every side; she scorns the prize whose purchase requires not the use of all her nerves. Imperia dura tolle, quid virtus erit? (Remove the restraints of law, where will virtue be found?) saith the Tragic. Inveniet viam, aut faciet: wheresoever she become, she will either find a way or make one. No calamity is of power sufficient to bring her under. This majesty alone knows what it is to suffer check; it can neither be elevated nor dejected. Her greatness, like the highest heavens, is always firm and without clouds. Are you desirous to see her? You shall find her in the temple, in the market, in the court; you shall find her standing at a breach or scaling of a wall, her garments dusty, her countenance all tanned, and her hands as hard as iron. Wherefore, whosoever is possessed with her, let him prepare himself for dangerous assaults.

-- Daniel Tuvill, Essays politic and moral, and Essays moral and theological, (John Leon Lievsay, ed.) (Folger Shakespeare Library, Univ. Press of Virginia, 1971) at p.43.

Existentialist Futility!!!

Why bother about water in Moon, is there a water pipeline planned from there; are we now going to run it dry!? Futility of our civilizational efforts is all around us when all we need is a joint effort to eradicate the earth of more important things as hunger, thirst, inequality, pollution, oceanic submersion & the like.
