(GNU is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not UNIX”; it is pronounced “guh-noo.”) Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as “Linux,” they are more accurately called GNU/Linux systems. We maintain this free software definition to show clearly what must be true about a particular software program for it to be considered free software.``Free software'' is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of ``free'' as in ``free speech,'' not as in ``free beer.''Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:--The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). --The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. --The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2). --The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

This is your news junkie coming at you with *imagine that* more news.	[22 Jun 2004|03:35pm]
[ **mood** | enraged ] What the fuck is the world coming to that we feel we have the right to define the word love? And now we want to define the word marriage. I'm totally outraged at these absent-minded fucks who think that the balance of nature will be thrown off if two guys get married. Some people argue that they are worried about the well-being of the children. Well what the fuck? If I kid has two moms or two dads, it won't fuck up their brain. It won't make them feel less about themselves and it won't make them feel obligated to be a fucking homosexual.I say fuck a lot when I'm mad...It won't kill animals in the rainforest if two chicks get married. It won't spill oil in the Atlanic Ocean. They think that they can fuck up the world and then blame it on the most innocent of people. It's not the gay parents that mess their kids up, it's the self-centered fucks that walk around with sticks up their asses telling us who to be and how to act and who to love.I am angry. Hear me roar.It all started when I read this lovely artice that I found on msnbc.com. What I love about this counrty is their false advertisment. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave. But freedom will only buy you a voters ballot and a church down the street. We are not free. We just have more freedom than others. Or is that even true?I wrote a poem about 9/11 while back for a class. I shall post it upon request. It's called Quarters. It's basically about how everything is like "IN GOD WE TRUST" everywhere, when God really doesn't do shit.My name is Monica Thomas, I am fourteen years old, and I would like to set fire to my government.click here for reading
