    Azureus can now be used in a 100% Free-Software system.

    So now we don't need to use proprietary (but $free) libraries when we illegally download music and copies of photoshop? Holy shit on a penis batman!

    You got it backwards dipshit, or is there UNfree open source software. What a fucktard.

    That's about the most idiotic thing I've ever read. GP was making the point that it's like a Home Depot in that it has everything for you need to do your projects, not that software is anything like a hammer.

    And whoever modded that shit insightful, you're a fucking moron too.

    They've dropped support for tons of architectures that people still use. Many platforms are still stuck with locally-patched, barely functional gcc2 installations because they have nothing else available.

    And it doesn't actually produce stable AND well-optimized code. Its more a one or the other kinda deal. There's lots of hard to track down bugs involving GCC optimizations.
