[Translator Press] This article is a very wide-ranging vocabulary of Microsoft on the Internet, the author is a computer system, and is now working in the Computer Department of the 7th University of Paris, France. Original text has been translated into English, German, Spanish and Italian, can be found at http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~dicosmo /.
I. Introduction
During Christmas, I was shocked by the media world covered by the media. "Multimedia", "World Wide Web", "Internet" These hipster vocabulary and their partial organisms are complacent after the rain. In these newspapers, magazines and those imperative "experts" eyes, if you don't have a brand new, expensive, you can bring you into the multicolored virtual space, you are not a happy person.
We are always listening to an eternal teachings: there is only one computer in the world, and it is called PC. Of course, it must be the PC installed in the Intel chip, and there is only an indispensable software in the world - Microsoft production of Window Series (everyone simply lazy to distinguish between "operating systems" and "application software", the Window97 said by the media is actually Window95 bundled Word, Excel and other office software, known as office97 things) .
What is more strange is still behind, today Americans have begun to wake up from the long hibernation, realize that these two super multinational companies have a hidden face: they use their own monopoly status, killing countless product performance is much higher than themselves s company. And our France is thick and shameless to win the pets to these two Torares. I admire Ralph Nader (brave stand out to protect the interests of consumers, making the US General Motor Company withdraw the unsafe car produced), admire the US Department of Justice's prosecution of Microsoft, and admire the American people's strong reverberation: United States The famous pro-soft CNN TV has made public opinion online. There are the vast majority of netizens to support the Ministry of Justice, and CNN has stopped this survey, and the results have to be announced in countless netizens.
However, the French people still slept in Microsoft's gentle cradle. They dreamed of a kind tricks to distribute free WINDOW95 to all school countryside. He sincerely helped France to make up for technology; they smiled and looked at the sky The color screen shows an relieved information, telling the user that a certain process a certain process has caused a certain exception. Of course, this is just your own operation, not a Window error; they never ask in this dream. A computer used by the Humanity and a few times more than a few times more than a few decades ago, and several times the PC, after the Microsoft's office97 is installed, why not handle the correct handling only one Page information? Second, Chinese medicine library and brainwash
I have had a chance to experience what extent to fall in French people. The ridiculous need to be the story on the train. A portable computer (a price can be high at a car, can be placed in the PC in the bag, usually used to play poker) as the big brother, especially in the train plane. Next to my seat is a very friendly, kind gentleman, I look at him, I know that he is a young and has an engineer. He is running that a comic software (waiting for me, I explain why I evaluated this software) "DEFRAG". A beautiful matrix is displayed on the screen, there are many small squares that are shining, run around, and the hard drives have a wonderful sound.
I really can't help my desire (I hope that this gentleman will see my article. Don't revenge. After praising some of his machine, I put it stupid and stupid. Ask him, this beautiful software is doing, why Isn't my portable machine? With nearly mercy ("This poor guy doesn't even have this software!") He told me that this is a high-top procedure that allows your computer to add your hard disk to re-"arrange neat." He tells me the Microsoft's manual like a back poem: When you use the hard disk every time, the disk will gradually "broken", the speed of the computer will decline, so you will run "DEFRAG" from time to time, Let the hard drives are in an orderly manner, intact as early.
At this time, I took out my own laptop, and the upper is Linux (a free, performance, Unix system developed by thousands of people). I am full of confusion that my hard drive on this machine is always in order to use, and the more I use it, the more memory is. Our engineers are a bit awkward, he replies to me: he uses the system is the latest version of Window95, which is the world's largest software company products. "You must be wrong in which place!" He said.
I started to tell him what is called disk fragmentation, trying to use the easiest metaphor to let him forget that Microsoft will infused his poisoning publicity. Now I will introduce you to the conversation of our two hours.
You probably know that all data exists in a computer's hard drive. This hard disk is like a huge Chinese medicine library, with thousands of small drawers, each small drawer has the same capacity (typically 512 bytes). Today's computer has millions of such drawers. If your file is stored in an adjacent set of drawers, the speed of access is much faster than the four squares of the warehouse (called "disk fragmentation"). This is not difficult to understand, you will encounter in your daily life, such as you have stored your own shoes: If they are placed in the same box, it is convenient. We all know that a well-known warehouse is more than seven tall grocery. The remaining problem is how to store these data. Now I am trying to be a minister of a country. I have to put my millions of materials in a huge, with a few million drawers, like the above explains, you certainly want to make every material as possible Place near a set of drawers. You specially hire a female secretary to distract this matter, there are two candidates, their work methods are very different. The first method is this: After a piece of information is completed, she cleared the document, when the new file arrived, she first divided them into small pieces consistent with the drawer, put them at the first one. I can find the empty drawer. You ask her to do this, is not a bit chaos, next time I want to find this material is not costly? She tells you that it doesn't matter, you can hire a few young people when you have a few young people! The second female secretary works: she always has a form in her hand, knowing how many empty drawers in the place, whenever the new file arrives, she first checks the form of the hand, put the new file Go to the adjacent drawer in a sufficient quantity. Such a large cabinet is always in an orderly manner. No one will doubt this minister will hire the second secretary. Speaking of this, our engineer nodded.
At this time, it is very easy to explain him, and the WINDOW95's practice is the first female secretary. She needs a few young people to organize the ministerial Daguai (with "defrag"). LINUX's document management is like the excellent female secretary, she doesn't have to organize what! When the train arrived, this young man is very unhappy. People have always told him "Defrag" can "accelerate the operation of the computer", now I know that it is the speed that is Window minus his machine!
In fact, effective use of memory is an old problem, which has been properly solved for a long time (UNIX starts to hire the good secretary in 1984). There is also more than "defrag", disgusting things, there is no time to tell you those small stories. Microsoft has a merit to "scandisk", which is used to patch hard drives. It gives you a lot of difficult to understand, and the results are often destroyed for two nets, and the data can still be saved before using it. This kind of thing will not only happen in the UNIX system, but the technology teaches in the university's computer course ten years ago. "Defrag" and more evil "scandisk" are enough to let everyone throw Microsoft's system into garbage. However, in Microsoft's brain-made publicity and education and our own flourishing, France is preparing to change all bank computer systems to Microsoft products, and more, use these things to educate our next generation.
It is using this large-scale business operation. Some companies have successfully said their fatal disadvantages, so that everyone is unswerving. Many truly technologies, you can make these stupid things, expose their ghosts, let those so-called "experts" dumbs are silent. There is a strange fact: On the one hand, there is no serious computer expert to publish an article on the magazine that is advertised for computer books. They are not willing to let their own names and those who sell dogs. Under the support of the scientific foundation, with the sponsor of each commercial company, these companies are more compensated in these places, so they don't have anyone to share with them, and they will say a few fair words.
Third, information tax
However, WINTEL (US media's general call of Microsoft and Intel) is in progress, the monopoly of France and even the world computer industry has not been able to be silent, no excuse can allow us to be drunk. Dream. This is not only "clearly knows that there is a high level of products, it is rather to endure an inferior high-tech": The Video 2000 and Betamax of the diamond in the year are excellent than the current VHS (video record mechanism). The current problem is our own government's monopoly on the field of information, and only Wintel from it will benefit. I will definitely know what I want to say later: I have successfully charged the "monopolistic tax" in the past few years: selling the monopolistic tax in our absolute advantage, carrying the consumer The veritable extortion, because you can only buy something from it. The amount of this tax is huge, and the viciousness is that it is secretly flowing out of our European community, not only does not create any national wealth, but also plays the role of destruction.
Let's take a look at this monopoliar than a year, and the day after the day, it has a threat to everyone's daily economic life. In a particular field of computers, the company that is especially particularly terrible for companies that have no moral guidelines. Let's take a look at their "legal" and reasonable behavior. Fourth, the uniqueness of software
Each time we purchase a PC, we will give Microsoft a tax. In order to figure out this problem, we should first know the basic facts below, computer technology and other high-tech are different: the cost of replication software is low. The development of a software may cost, but once it is made, it can be copied by a few dollars, or downloaded from the increasingly declining of the fees, its channels and forms and software itself, quality millions irrelevant. Only one thing is not overlooked, that is, it is called "carrier". For example, thousands of sheets of manual, dozens of disks (when you are unfortunate, there is no CD system). But this should find a solution to reduce the cost of this cost, but it is reversed to attack this position. You may have already noticed that when you buy a lot of software from the supermarket, you find that there is no software is a complete manual, and the charge is only a few pages of commentary. Of course, if you are willing, you can take yourself dozens, and you can download these thousands of sheets of paper from the Internet. I even met a famous Japanese company that produced laptop (not to point its name), simply did not give you, and put all software in the hard drive. I have to buy dozens of disks, like playing modern music, and give them a copy. We can now say that copying a software cost fee is almost zero for publishers.
Another uniqueness of the software is its legal rights. Rough thinking, the truth, no hurray, like art, the software is intricate, removing the "high-tech crystal" of thousands of households, should be protected by law (all software industry is self-name For "Press"). But you can't find a legal provision, stipulate that a software must complete a certain job, or have a certain function, even if it is said that the white word black word written clearly, it has the right to not guarantee it. This kind of thing is still in a novel or a piece of oil painting. It is unreasonable for a software. In fact, this is true: You can check your sewer or electrician at court, but you have no right. To accuse Microsoft's products, say their things do not comply with production processes, and the feature of the manual boast does not match.
More maliciously, Microsoft has no responsibility for the disaster caused by them. We can repeat an example: If your son is listening to a rock music dish, you quarrel with you, you smash the Chinese Ming Dynasty porcelain at home, you do not have any rights to accuse it. Singer. But if you have 200m business information in your hard drive, you have destroyed ScriSkisk by Window95, why don't you have the right to accomplish Microsoft? You fully have the ability to prove in any fair court: As early as the 1970s, humans have mastered the necessary technologies and have been published in the city, which allows you to lose 200M. The original code of the AT & T of this technology is not bought by your Microsoft? Conversely, you have reasonable reason to sue your electricity installation company, they went to the wooden wall of your home (Europe think that this installation method is illegal). If your software is from the hand of engineers writing programs in their own garage, these two uniqueness are still in the same weekend. Things happened to this funds reached an astronomical figure, across the super company in the European and American mainland. This "diplomatic exemption" does not use much for small software publishers. All large industries can order them to complete the prescribed instructions, pay according to the labor, and punish it. But these guarantees are impossible for an ordinary consumer and most of the small and medium-sized enterprises, Microsoft's "publishing house" can make you close closes in a few weeks.
Like the young people who have encountered on the train, we have begun to feel behind this flowered green virtual world, and there is a darkness that cannot be kept. This kind of charity company, this self-prison is a software manufacturer station in the peak of world technology and free trade, and it is a bit different from the Santa Claus in our impression. We are now just a small paragraph in the dark side of Microsoft's planet, and more "brilliant" is still behind.
V. Hardware producers fall into circles
Microsoft's monopoly status also helps it saves a variety of business expenses such as technical consultation, sales and after-sales service. You always want: Although Microsoft is not obliged to help you install the system, but in order to keep the market, should it take the initiative to help you? You don't have to worry about Microsoft, it has long thought about it, I recorded a Window95 user agreement text:
6. Technical consultation. Microsoft Group and its subsidiaries have no obligation to provide any technical consultation.
Users can ask the computer manufacturer to help.
Tiangle seamless, right? It retracts all the tasks to computer producers. Although the latter has nothing to do with "Scandisk", the system crashes, the hard disk destroys these tragedy, but it has to be economically affected. (I am a little bit one or two: In order to install Window95 on my Japanese laptop, I gave this company several times, I didn't point to it, this time is not ignored) if Window95 is not overbearing Holding monopoly, computer vendors will agree to see such provisions? This is the same for businessmen who sell channels. Hardware producers, people who sell to our machines must pay from their own pockets: they have to pay labor, prepare Window95 on your machine. We can also find more strokes: Buy Window95 from the Internet. This is really thinking, you will pay the software, the phone call is going to download (see the current Office, you will know this is a small expenditure), and the cost of selling the publisher is reduced to true Zero crang zero life! You are still in question, why the US Some Members suggested not to taxing electronic network trade, this is the reason!
Summarize: If I am Microsoft, and I just want to sell anything from any restrictions, no one can sue my software quality, because of this, I don't have to put it. Energy is used to improve my products, and the expense of each of my software is a zero, my price can be raised. Hardware is constantly changing, while Microsoft's things are only weak, and the new version can also increase prices. 95 years of Window95 starting price 800 francs have become 1270 francs. I am doing a very bad business business.
There is a very interesting question. Ordinary people will not pass the computer, then these large enterprises, national agencies, communication media, etc. Talents, and why they don't use their rights, refuse to choose Microsoft's things? In order to answer this question, we can't let the swords in the newspapers, magazines sell dog skin plaster, although they have unneasable responsibilities. We should hit a flashlight in the back of the huge commercial structure of Microsoft, you can find that there are many behaviors that are illegal! Unfortunately, there is no one in our French in the media, there is no criticism of criticism, and it is not the attention of national decision-making staff. This is the real reason.
Sixth, scientific fool
In order to make things clear, we have forgot these things in computers, software, and hardware now. We have been telling that these things are essential, but it is also unbearable. That is, we don't have to have your own point of view on this matter, because someone said to you: "This thing is too complicated, listening to the expert choice!" A famous magazine in the United States, simply playing such a slogan : Byte, Because The Experts Decide! (Byte, because experts have decided!)
We put these so-called "experts" first, come to visit the "National Fool of Scientific Fool" (you will understand soon, this is not a fantasy country, is a country where there is a country). There is a company in this country, and we call him macropress (referred to as MP later). At a point, MP got the control of all printing plants on the Earth. It is not responsible for publishing newspapers, only printing, with it, only it has a copyright-owned font. Suddenly, in the cheers of the song dance, MP announced that MP announced that it invented a new font that allowed your newspaper to printed more modern and beautiful. All newspapers have been printed with this font called Klingons (Klingons is an alien in the movie [Star Trek], so that every reader has to buy a special magnifying glass invented by MP, in order to see New newspaper. The magnifying glass is in the store, and the cost of sales is the newspaper publishing house. The people smiled and rushed to tell, and the man was in hand. Under this huge success, MP starts regularly changing their fonts, which is first changed every year, and later exchanges every six months. Old magnifying glass can't see new newspapers, you have to go to the money to replace it into new. At this time, I came to a smart competitor. It found a good way to make money: make a mini magnifying glass than the MP price, and also sold to everyone. But all stores and MP have a unsitial contract, not selling something else. More unlucky is: MP officially prosecute each other, the charges added are the other Klingons fonts to produce mini magnifying glass, as a result, MP winning this lawsuit! Seven,. . . Already not far from us
You may have to say this: Who is not a fool, how can it be deceived? But you know that the country of science fool has come to us. Two years ago, I applied for funding to the European Community Science and Technology, inviting an visiting scholar to come to our laboratory. To this end, I have to fill in the special form. Some people tell me the best way to download from the Internet, the address is: WWW. Cordis. Lu. It takes a few days from the post office. I downloaded a file called Toto. DOC is written by Word software in a certain version of WINDOW95 in a certain version. It is to use Klingons fonts. "No problem!" I thought, our laboratory exactly an apple, there is a Word6.0 magnifying glass, which is the latest version, and the product of the same company. This sentence is that 10 o'clock in the morning, it is a big shock, after ten minutes of conversion, Apple's Word6.0 put the machine all, I have to turn off the machine, throw away Just working. I used a unyielding battle with the magnifying glass, and finally won me. I found only to see the strength of the table. I found that I was already 7 o'clock in the evening. I don't let's talk about how I solve this problem. I just had a desire, I want to pull the court theory! What is it for? It is not an extremely simple form: name, age, etc., as long as a public system is used, such as HTML, which starts to pass in 1991! Two years have passed, WWW. Cordis. Lu has no change, many websites, but all the public documents, forms, forms of "copyright unable to violate", can only be read with PC supported by Microsoft.
Therefore, our laboratory is immediately to buy a high-end PC, installing the Window95 system and Office office software we are not interested, is to read the European Community. MP's Klingons magnifying glass has played a winning battle.
Like a magnifying glass, the form of the file transforms with the version update. In this way, Word 5.0 cannot read the Word7.0 file, but also a complain of the Apple's Word6.0 cannot read the PC file. We are firmly in the same way as the fool! We don't just buy a word, every time a new version is bought back, just to read someone else's new files. If you have bought a Spanish dictionary under Word5.0, you have to buy one more, because the old dictionary has not matched, and Spanish has no change in these months? Please note that this is a naked kidnapping and 要 要 要 要 要 要 数据 数据 数据 数据 没 没 没 没 没 没 没 没 制 制 没 制 没 没 制 制 制 制 没 没 制 制 制 制 制 制 制 制 制Software reading, no door! And this is clearly the data you have made with meat and hard work. You can find a lot of dedicated system conversion software on Microsoft's website, you can't find a tool that can be converted into non-Microsoft. They also want to legislate to prevent others from being used, analyze their file formulation, let alone what mini magnifying glass. Our people need "public system" "" "" Let me know,? We bathe in the country of this scientific fool. Eight, the behavior of not three
Writing this, we see it, Microsoft's skill is actually very simple. On the one hand, it first puts your users into its traps, kidnap your valuable data in the "precious" system that is changed in it half of it, forced you to buy a new version, although you may just want to read it Your own data, or some files that don't have to exist in Microsoft; on the other hand, it also promotes all competitors into traps, and does not give all the materials, even casually change the operating system, and its purpose is Let the other's software cannot run normally. What's more, if the other party discovers this ghost, it can be found, it can also make people eat the lawsuit, and is sentenced to "reverse engineering" (computer legal vocabulary, equivalent to the car in the automotive industry The motor opened to study some). In order to confirm that I am not a compilation, you can see the lawsuit between STAC and Microsoft.
The second technique is particularly effective, especially when the software publisher has an operating system (Window95) and application software (Word, Excel et al.): It can easily do some hands on the system, in improving their own software performance At the same time, let the software of the competitors lose stability. Microsoft has done this on Windows NT Workstation: It is artificially set to 10 machines, so that all NT WorkStation with Netscape servers cannot work (see the US Justice and Microsoft's website). Users can only purchase a high price to purchase a WindowsNT operating system, which is equipped with a free web server. Netscape is driven out of the market (you know that NT Workstation and NT, the original program of the two systems of NT is actually only a few statements, you will more think that Microsoft's witch has more sinister and spicy.). The results of these non-threatened behaviors are also very simple: prevent users from buying other products of companies, can only buy it Microsoft. They establish a set of "Information Tax" System I said above with zero cost and risk. The tax is in the pocket of Microsoft. It is a difficult Wonder Bill Gates to visit France, which will be reached by the Presidential Palace, as guests are the "rents" in the most famous virtual world. "Rent" can not be virtual: Every year, the foreign exchange payment is difficult to count. It is inferior technology products, let us be bound by it one day, the software is far higher than the US And Canada. Don't believe that someone is comforting you: "Software has to spend money to find someone to translate into French?" You can go to Microsoft's website to see, clearly indicate: French may not purchase French Microsoft products in Canada (because Canada has some people speak French, and there is a lot of software in the software). This is the "free trade" that Americans advocated? Others treat us as a cow, and the weakness of the European governments is simply a milking industry in the farm. Just take a look at WWW. Cordis. LU, you know the seriousness of things.
Nine, and law catching mystery
Now talking about how Microsoft is a real shot and legal plate. Let me talk about the "bundled" sales method of French law ([Consumption Law], Chapter 2, 1: Forbidden to buy another product when selling a product, let consumers buy another product The laws in Europe have all the provisions of this aspect). Simply put, when you buy a watermelon, no one can force you to buy a rotten tomatoes you don't want. You certainly have seen the bundled mineral water together in the supermarket, but if you wish, you can open the package, only buy one bottle, but don't suffer in the price. But long, those large PC assembly manufacturers do not give you this option, you must buy Microsoft's system (now Window95, Window98, Window2000, NT, previous DOS, Window3.x). You can go to Dell or Gateway's website: "Assemble your own computer!" Said that this is said. Although hardware and software are two different products, people don't allow you to throw Microsoft's magnifying glass. Even if you can't know the price of Windows, this price is much lower than retail in the store (in fact, this is a contract of Microsoft and various manufacturers, and is one of its business means, and it has been judged by the court in Europe. crime).
In order to make you a little exact concept, I will give a small example. A few months ago, Paris had a university to buy 15 PCs, ready to adopt GNU / Linux as the operating system. We don't know how much it has been assembled to Microsoft (estimated that there are at least 300 francs per system), and don't know how much consumers pay for this operating system (even this 300 francs, this figure is worthy of suspicion, because "Pre-installation" will not be free), anyway, this university is going to hand over 15 * 300 = 4500 Franca, go buy a thing they don't need. That is to say, the country (French taxpayer) gives Microsoft a 4,500-square-way gift, giving a non-European community, have not yet arrived in the "endangered bankruptcy, need help" to send gifts. If we use this number to calculate, the University of France uses PC and GNU / Linux universities (more and more) to waste millions of francs together. Now everyone knows who is the real robber! I have a difficulty understanding this kind of access, I also listened to the government to cry and say shortages of French education.
If you think about your brains, think about it, theoretically there is a way to let them pay your money. You can continue to let the poor pack manufacturers hate you, but you have to prepare for a long time. There are several teachers and students in our college to purchase the GNU / Linux or Nextstep after purchasing a PC or laptop. Some people tried to play this battle, but they all fled. This is the most important part of Microsoft's annual profits, so we can call it "Computer Tax": No matter what you want, every PC sells to users, there is a fixed money into Microsoft's bank account. Microsoft did a ten-year-old, giving a huge wealth to Bill-Gatz, etc., squeezed countless opponents. In 1995 it was sentenced by the US and the European Community, but it was not accompanied by any economic means sanctions. In other words, we look at the little sneak money, and the extraordinary is just a sentence "I don't dare" this kind of apology. It is this that there is no economic sanction, a palliative and raped law, and I have a Microsoft's unethical behavior. You are now hard to buy a PC without Windows on the market unless you go to a small-scale assembly manufacturer. DELL and GATEWAY These two examples are very common: everyone who purchases PC has joined the statistics of "Microsoft User", although the first thing to buy back, it may throw Windows into the garbage bin, Ann GNU / Linux operating system. Ten, see the direction of future education
If we continue to fall, let them push into the trap, let Microsoft occupy the education field, what is more terrible than this? France's "backward" is a good thing, it is a bad thing, it gives us a chance: let us see several different trends.
Let me talk about the recent future, just take a look at our neighbors Switzerland. On October 8 this year, Swiss Ministers announced that Microsoft reached an agreement, and the state funded the purchase of 2500 computers to give each middle school, Microsoft provided software system, and the compulsory training 600 computer teacher staff (South Africa also gained the same gift). In other words, our monopoly group only used investments that did not have advertising costs, and completely mastered the Swiss computer education system, and further mastered the future of all companies in the country, because students who graduated from graduation only met Microsoft and Office. . This is not a happy foreground, but at least Swiss will not have to spend money to buy Microsoft.
It should be sure to say, don't spend money now. Microsoft can make you more time to pay for a while. Just like Japan in December last year: Microsoft announced that it was canceled in the country's collective license (there were two kinds of software licenses, one is a single license, suitable for people, one is a collective license, suitable for Enterprises and schools). This decision brings huge additional spending to Japan, and they can't resist, because another company can go to help. Look at the future. California State University (CSU) is supporting establishing a limited company with Microsoft lead, GTE, Fujitsu and Hughes Electronics: CETI. Responsible for all 23 divided, 350,000 teachers and students' computer software and hardware update. CSU handed the school's destiny to CETi, the benefits of the result were a few billion US dollars, in a decade. Ceti's plan did not hide at all: all WINDOW95, Window NT and Office. Just calculate that all teachers' private purchase of hardware and hardware for ten years will know that CETI's pure profit is several times that of them investment, because everyone can only buy "dictators" products, otherwise, they cannot be There are computer systems such as "copyright", "system", etc., some courses are not at all. I haven't counted the long-term interests of this grand blueprint to Microsoft: Today's students are future decision makers (with friends who know this news, please tell me the conclusion after the program is reviewed).
Eleven, bet is: global information control
But the chips that are in politics, the commercial gambling table are not just education, the industry is two: we can't only see several hardware, software sales issues. Who is in front of us to control all the world's information, control all forms of data transfer: education, financial market, new and old media, and even our daily communication and private life secrets ([translator according to it] As long as one mentioned to interfere with others "private life" The French will be filled with indignation). If a company has obtained the monopoly of this area alone, it is in a location that can give it a tax for each computer data transfer (for example, in the transfer amount received. English name: "Vigorish"), as one of the Microsoft leaders Nathan MyRhvold is described in a company's internal document, so exciting "grand blueprints". This evidence is in the hands of the US Department of Justice, [Wall Street] has been specially reported on this. Moreover, it can make you concession in your personal freedom, so that it receives greater profits. Think about it, it is such a thing! All information to be transmitted through computer can be left behind. On the Internet, when you sit in the chair on the chair and enjoy the gorgeous photos through your multimedia PC, someone can record your bank number and secretly constructed (you can use it in the future) you. Physiological and psychological characteristics (this thing can be successfully made, "cookies" in the web accessory can be used to do this. Sidewalk, Microsoft's subsidiary, forced users to accept these infringement you Personal privacy terms, otherwise it cannot be obtained.). Microsoft's unsafe coefficient expansion software ActiveX, which allows your bank's deposits to rush on your "freedom" to rush on the Internet. A group of computer enthusiasts in Hamburg, Germany have no dispute certificate on national television and newspapers, and this matter is not reported at all our France. Even if Microsoft does not use its vulnerabilities, it hurts you, others can help it: If you are through the Internet, use Microsoft's so-called "absolutely secure encryption" to purchase items, a virus invented by college students can In the most common Word file, after eight hours of calculation, "Guess" out your credit card number. When we think of the Bank of France ([translator pressed] a national bank, the previous year is on the verge of completion, adding two hundred billion flaming on the French taxi head), just signed a contract with Microsoft, let it manage the Bank's Intert Internet business, this is enough to make people sweat.
The others can also monitor your whereabouts, through the credit card, mobile phone to calculate your job schedule, as the Marseille punch event in the past few years (the police recorded the mobile phone record, helping the Marseili to bribery the other party team). In mentioned, we should pay close attention to cooperation with Microsoft and Microsoft.
Mechanic and unscrupulous, the only coup is to control information transmission up and down: Your computer should use specific software to secretly steal some intelligence of users; Internet provider ( ISP) You should save your traces: URL, connection mode and time length; your access to the website should also use specific software, and you will recognize your identity with your webmark, leave your visit. History . The most important thing is: These are all hidden, in the dark! Now a high level of computer enthusiasts can find these secrets: someone is peeking at you. As long as you know how the data transfer format between your computer can do it. These formats are now in the public domain, and they should continue to be all of the public, which can make different companies cooperate in technology. However, if there is only one software publishing house in the market tomorrow, the little action in these dark corners will not be discovered by anyone, otherwise it is the sin of "Reverse Engineering". Do you see it? This is not only a small problem with a text editor.
12. An unpleasant opportunity to employment for employment
my country's publicity media community's negative and passive attitude of this matter is even surprised and angry: we are acquiring an almost a few-seven-century American pirate behavior, we are independent of national economy as a weight Go up! I fully understand that the US government earned a eye to this matter ([translator pressed] US Tribunna announced the guilty of Bill Gates on November 6, 1999): Money is falling to them Americans Waist bag. But I can't explain it clearly: the French government also closed his eyes, seeing that these money is our sweat?
It can't say that our European community has no response. It seems that it has begun to investigate these suspicious behaviors. We can't see the words and Japanese official structural FTCs in the text of the Japanese official structure FTC from the DGIV (a agency of the French government, the police station of the Police of the French government) But these are not enough, now the current computer market is so fast, wait until the results of the survey come out, and the dead children have already hugged the South Wall: the loss has been caused. If there is some "message", "it is still the same as for 95 years, it will not be blended with any economic sanctions.
We have technical capabilities and economical, lacking is a proactive, positive and aggressive computer technology strategy: Don't forget, many aspects in Europe have high levels of human and intelligence than the United States. Just rave a few examples, nextstep is known as one of the authors of "the most respected software in the world" is the French; Europe's procedure automatic detection theory walks in the forefront of the world, it has completed many work satisfactorily. The nearest time is the successful launch of Ariane No. 5 launch rocket.
Get rid of Microsoft's monopoly rule, now there is a good opportunity for Europe, will give us a huge benefit, we have a huge benefit every day, and the level of computer is not high. This is exact our best opportunity, this shows that we have not completely advanced traps. You know, you can't catch up with the train, the ship is not tight, it is tightly that this car boat will not go out of the track, turn the boat. We have also been anxious to our company, and the school provides an open, low price and even free, high performance, and stable computer systems. Now more and more computer enthusiasts are likely to go to this way, they throw away the system of pre-well, full of mines, traps, get a nearly free , You can change it yourself, open software environment. As a result, create countless employment opportunities. Thirteen, a feasible out: open software
When we pick up computer software to China and elementary school children, we don't have to accept the "gifts" of the monopolists in poisonous drugs. Why don't you choose a three-day dead, version is regularly replaced, the software system that the original program cannot be seen, we can choose a stable, open, free system. Don't be confused by the rumors on the street, the free system has already proved its feasibility and superiority. It allows every young man working in a safe environment, learning, making those people who have a curiosity, and willing to learn more about computer technology. If he is willing, you can open the car directly and make the motor into eight pieces.
As for those large business computer groups, it is best to trust those who have the original procedures and complete information, and the time is subject to professional talent detection, improved software. It can take little funds to make it useful to the company as needed.
For a large company, "Abandoning the monopoly closed product, selecting an open operating system" is a strategic decision. At this point, many mathematical statistics specialize in serious investigations, gaining a certainty, quantitative conclusion. In our Europe, we can find a lot of examples, and some of them have entered the US market.
This road has become a reality. The Richard Stallman and Free Software Foundation began this work, and its purpose is to create a complete set of completely free operating systems and applications called GNU. Under the leadership of Linux Torvalds, this work is completed by thousands of people around the world. They are not profitable to work, so that the Linux operating system is born. This is a free, open UNIX system. Its real name should be the GNU / Linux system I mentioned above. The historical history of the GNU / Linux system does not expect three most precious three in the heart of the French: "Freedom", "Equality", "Bo Love". Under this system, we can almost all things: a web server, a Java machine, a Dosemulator, a series of GNU tools, and even a set of office software. You can get a full-feasible system without paying any tax. Why can't the European Community can reach out? Support and encourage this obligation to work? Tens of thousands of Francis, what is it for the budget of the entire European Community? But this is enough to let the projects such as Gnustep will promote the development of GNU / Linux, create a series of set up a series of office software that can be universal. Choosing a free and open system is completely realized, "knocking down the earth and an inferiority", hitting the dead. Let our business more competitive, conducive to the improvement of the employment environment: The rental of those thrown into the river becomes a useful wealth that can produce wealth, just able to pay some SME companies, let them come Responsible for preparing, commissioning, and repairing the needs of the enterprise. In doing so, it will create a large number of technical labor, and promote the development of the economy. Not like it now: a group of sales of low salary, thinking about it, trying to sell, and unable to control products. Profits have flowed into other people's pockets.
