pah - what is the choice of a palastinien in israel ? what is the choice in jugoslavia ? what is the choice when you are black, or a women in a moslem country, or living somewhere in africa ? choice ? where is the choice when marty hirsch has not enough money to program chess anymore ? or when mark uniacke has not enough time anymore. because he has to work much on non chess topic ? which choice ? capitalism is like a declaration of war to human rights. > but the concept was not >invented to piss you off so don't take it personal, i don't take it personal. but i have the right to be against a concept that makes people unhappy and exploits people and makes them poor. > and dont make statements >like you do without providing some kind of proof to back your statements up. pah - i can make any statement i want. as you do. as anybody is allowed. nobody has to proof anything. this is not a law-case, this is life. >It seems your rigid state of mind would stop evulution if you had your way, >progress is progress and what you choose to do with it determines wheter it be >good or bad, when you fight it, it fights back and leaves you bitter, but when >you learn to use the best from it you develope a new tool called individuality. individuality is another word for "don't care about other people" and individuality means to betray other people. in the moment YOUR individuality is pissing on other peoples rights it is not individuality but against the society. against humanity. what you call evolution is IMO destruction. you don't want progress, all you want is to destroy concurrent ideas and concurrent concepts. why do you want the competition of concepts with a winner and a concept that dies out ? because you don't want evolution but destruction. your individuality has reached infinite when only ONE race, ONE concept and ONE user interface is left. how INDIVIDUAL your live becomes when only chessbase has "survived" what you call "evolution" ! it's war. not evolution. and it's the last survivor of a world war what you call individuality. >Chessbase products are in my opinion very good and fairly bugfree, they provide >us with some of the strongest engines and IMO the best gui's i have never >experienced any problems with CB. it seems you experience is limited (IMO). >Have you ever heard of backing your system up??!! ah brilliant. yes. instead of a working user interface (OS) or GUI i have them all backed up !! bravo !! thats of course the way of individualist ! having anything backed up what is not working accurate ! >I personally dont have any problem cooking natural cuisine style and as for >finding a fine resturant to treat my girlfriend with french, italian food etc. >is no problem either. No one can force you to buy microsoft, mcdonalds or >chessbase, but if you feel that they do the you have a problem, just like the >fish in a tank who does not choose what the owner feed you" nobody can force you ? how many alternatives do you have ? how many different concepts do you have far from mc-phersson in cars ? bill gates produces software that is not compatible from one version to another. and he likes to do so. because with any problem he creates, with any more complex problem windows creates, it needs even more people to buy , to patch and to work and in the end: to make money out of a NOT working product. >I wish i was swimming in money, just imagine all the wonderful posiblillities if >you had as much money as gates. i don't want to have his money. i think he is a very lonely guy. the whole world does not like him. everybody hates him. he has no friends. all see his money. and all think: what an idiot. so much money wasted for an idiot. if i had his money, i would spent it on helping other people not starving and not to die out in something YOU call individuality. when i have the choice between bill gates and duttweiler, i will choose duttweiler. instead of living in peace and friendship and to share the family and the nature, people walk into shopping mals and waste their time buying things they don't need and they buy it because the believe they would give their lives a better sense. but you cannot buy sense. >Regards >Jonas
