1) No. "FOSS" != Ubuntu, asshole. 2) NO! patents != "money" 3)... forget it. you're a stupid, greedy troll, and also a coward. The world would be a much better place if you had any balls at all.
I assume that this must have occurred to the management of said newspaper as well; sometime shortly after they published the initial list and sometime shortly before hiring armed guards to protect the corporate headquarters.
I don't know if you've been paying attention lately but the "real world" is in fact going straight down the shitter currently because people like you think that the most important thing in life is how many verbal blowjobs you get at work every day and that being respected shouldn't have to be earned.
I furthermore regret to inform you that (though through no fault of my own) it is indeed true that gay sex between fat neckbeards is rampant and in fact even well documented in many parts of the world. At least one of us here doesn't actually live in the real world though. That much I will agree with.
Is inherently fucking immaculate, unless I deserve a verbal thrashing - which is incidentally *why* I'm siding with Linus here instead of all the other lazy fucking jackasses who social engineer their way through life under the pretext that it would be rude to expect them to wipe their own asses.
can't let shit like that fly. i think Linus did the right thing in the circumstances. i have wished no less than 1000 times over the years that my own various bosses would have shown that they even gave half as much of a crap about utterly unacceptable coding being released into production by my own co-workers.
It was hardly a scientific study but my electricity rates *are* the highest anywhere, and I use enough of it to get additional peak hours/overuse charges. I doubt that if you lived outside of any major metropolitan area or turn your computer off while you sleep it would take anything less than *years* to pay it off.
Upgraded to this from a 500W older model Antec power supply for my primary desktop, which is *never* powered off, except during hardware upgrades like replacing the power supply. My local electrical company bills every other month. The power supply cost me i believe around 80-90$ after tax and it paid for itself within one billing cycle.
I'm sure the customers participated volunteered willingly. I doubt anyone will sue for spraining an ankle after having volunteered willingly to help in a crisis situation. They clearly all felt they had a lot more riding on this than just their own physical well-being.
Also, in response to some of the above posters; I think the middle of a hurricane, when your basements are flooded, you're highly unlikely to worry about someone accidentally lighting the building on fire.
It isn't progress, obviously, but neither is NO CHANGE AT ALL, that's my only point. If you have been watching what has been happening in the U.S. political arena lately you would see this fits a really disturbing trend of being about the only thing we can accomplish together anymore; agreeing after long debate in the face of impending doom to change... NOTHING.
Well, there are a lot of hidden truths to this statement, but the biggest one is that intelligent people as a whole *tend* not to exhibit the same sort of ruthless pack mentality that the less-than-genius but more socially-competent crowd does. This makes it hard to get ahead in business after years of academia where (unlike school) your promotion is not purely performance-based but *usually* almost implicitly popularity-based, instead. Geeks are good at doing the job well and knowing that they did. They are not good at making everyone else around them who couldn't do it as easily feel good about it after the fact.

Not even if they claim to; guaranteed.
1) No. "FOSS" != Ubuntu, asshole. ... forget it. you're a stupid, greedy troll, and also a coward. The world would be a much better place if you had any balls at all.
2) NO! patents != "money"

... is that what irony looks like?

its about getting the job done, not "winning friends and influencing people"

Maybe the Belize police just wanted to ask him why he's always seen entering/exiting the country twice in a row?
Or maybe his DOUBLE killed his neighbor!!!
What is the practical application of being able to freely apply even more jack/plug torsion exactly?

And *THAT* is the sole cause of the stagnation of IT salaries. The current economy is just a scapegoat.
Uh... FYI even ICANN thinks maybe they're not the right people for the job anymore.

Rifraff: What most of the people driving $100,000+ cars would call me.
We LOVE diversity as long as it stays on the dinner plate.
Show them instead how good we are at curbing progress simply by unanimously opposing it! Go America!

Not I, sir. I patiently wait for a raise, then leave when its apparent that I would have to ask to get it.
No its not completely irrational; the income+cost of parking differential does generally serve to keep the riffraff out of the nicer areas of town.
Not to address the base inaccuracy of your statement; extremists have morals, corporations do not.
I say, declare your independence.
It's KDE, by the way. But he's wrong, they both suck.
