It is surprising to know something about people who do something without money. It is amazing to find out about people who do something with middle effect for 18 years, not being discouraged, permanently busy. So someone can suppose that these people are poor: with money for necessary things only.
Anyone can find out about free music notation software, like Musescore or LilyPond. Both the software are made exactly for 18 years. Musescore is WYSIWYG software for anyone, and LilyPond is typesetter like TeX for specialists. And what it is amazing or surprising? Both the software, 18 years old, are in version just 2. It is unusual. Everybody know that in the world are people: miserable (who have not anything), poor (who have necessary things only) and rich (who have a lot of money). So somebody can suppose that doing something for many years, using necessary things only, is a big challenge for brave people who plan to reach one's aim. Why using necessary things only? It is simple: Because making something for many years with middle, not big effect. So somebody can think, from where is the courage of people who judge or make something for many years or even centuries, like Church with true only conception of Life, or false other world outlooks. So somebody can think that people who do something for many years, maybe are not poor with necessary things only. Even Linux, which was for many years rather for programmers and for poor people, with necessary money only, i.e. for computer 32 Megabytes system memory — now is for only people with money, for i.e. 2000 Megabytes memory. So somebody can ask: 1) Why it happens? Why some people do something for many years, even with not big effect, to give the service or product for other people, without wanting any payment? 2) Why some people was doing something for many years for everyone, like rich specialist and poor people who have not money for big computer system memory — and now require poor people to become a rich to get non-necessary things, like just big computer system memory. 3) Why poor people who have computers for 20 years, with small memory, and can use it for their work — have to throw out efficient and properly working their computers with non-requiring Linux? Somebody can think that people who was doing something for many years, who now require the poor people to become a rich — maybe help these people who do something for 18 years, like Musescore or LilyPond with version only 2, which is usually middle effect. Any people who study physics can calculate that all world for bulbs (=electric lights), always turned on in computers and computer peripherals, even loud-speakers — pays about 100,000,000,000 dollars or euro every month. Who thinks about it? Who expects this? What sound is going to do with light, which is not needed to listen? Some programmer has told that he gets about 17$ per hour. Some computer service has told that Linux has many bugs and Microsoft Windows is necessary to be installed. So any people who learns maths can calculate that in a 5 years programmers can make about 557,000 softwares for many people: miserable (who have not anything), poor (who have necessary things only) and rich (who have a lot of money). So somebody can think: "Who needs as many as 557,000 softwares?" — and conclude that: miserable people who have not anything, their home, live in the streets, and free computer operating systems users, like Linux, all of them could have got free of charge computers with free of charge operating systems, such fine and proper like Microsoft Windows which is only for rich people. Conclusions: 1) If all world would not pay about 100,000,000,000 dollars or euro every month for unnecessary little lights, homeless people who lives in the streets and beggars who begs to get little money to eat something — would live in fine their homes and even get married, or learn to be priests in some spiritual seminaries which takes non-little money as a high schools. 2) MuseScore or LilyPond would be in version 2 a long time ago. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
