Comrades, I had asked for help on the above topic about 8 issues ago (Vol. 68, issue 47). I seem to have been drowned out in a semi-legal debate on GPL licensing. My own view is that all knowledge, and therefore all source-code (like all land and all means of production) is, in fact free. It is only the capitalist-imperialist system that makes us pay for what has been acquired by loot at some stage. Hence the only reasonable (and, therefore, ethical) response, is to take all this back by force (or guile) to the extent that one requires it to survive and to the extent that this is possible while, at the same time, fighting to change the system altogether. Hence I blatantly copied pirated copies of M$ for as long as I could. I had thought that M$ turns such a blind eye to pirating only because they don't really care about the "small" pirate. However, now I feel that it is a part of M$ strategy to kill other platforms like Linux! As long as M$ is available free of cost from pirated copies, people will not seriously turn to Linux and other platforms. M$ is backed by millions in advertising. Now with little pushes like the "Genuineadvantage" update which was automatically sent to all XP systems since the past two years or so, M$ has started gently edging the users, especially the large ones, towards paying up! I think that Linuxers must look upon this as an opportunity. We cannot, for obvious reasons, advertise like M$. We must push the new distros, with all their genuine advantages, to the people (read computer users) at large. Our methods of propaganda will, perforce have to be popular. We cannot advertise in the electronic and print media. We can, however, have free demos in schools, colleges and other places. Lists like this can be more active in providing help and alternative solutions. We can start publicising as to which corporations support Linux, like Skype and which do not, like Nokia. Which brings me to my original question. Can anyone help me to sync my Nokia E50 with my laptop (Acer Aspire One - Kubuntu 8.10) through USB? The details of my query can be found at Vol. 68, issue 47. I presume that my query was merely drowned out in the more pressing debate on intellectual property rights. I make this plea merely to remind fellow-listers that I still await a response - anxiously and eagerly. Thanks again in advance.
