Thank you for making that clear. We promise to never discuss anything that isn't directly related to TFA ever again. From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. Oh and thank you for keeping the streets of/. safe.
You seem to be implying that therefore we should never do anything.
Holy shit I've never seen anybody pull something out of their ass like that. I didn't imply anything even remotely related to what you're bullshitting about. I said:
Yeah because nobody ever abuses anything. We can all just smile happily that everybody is looking out for our best.
What I'm implying is very simple. You see, this is called sarcasm, and sarcasm means that the point one is making is the opposite of what one is saying. When we apply this rule to my sentences it becomes very clear:
People do abuse things. We should not ignore this fact.
Now go put your words in somebody elses mouth, thanks.
Can't we just pretend they didn't so all the ill-informed clowns can rant about the constitution this, entrapment that, yada yada ad nauseam like they usually do?
Yeah because nobody ever abuses anything. We can all just smile happily that everybody is looking out for our best.
Ok, encouraging is not the right word so let me use one that is stronger and will get the idea into your thick skull.
Let me use a word that will stick in your thick skull: fucktard. They don't facilitate piracy as they don't hold any pirated material facilitated. They merely point to others and they on the other hand do facilitate it. No matter how many synonyms to "store" you use, it doesn't make it true. They don't store it and thus they don't facilitate it.
I'm not saying that it is right or wrong, I'm merely saying that it is not illegal and that you have failed to "facilitate" your brain. Now insert coin to try again bitch.
Do you run Ubuntu on your server? (In which case, why would you be considering a Release Candidate?)
Or do you never reboot your home PC? (Surely you can afford a scheduled reboot overnight when you're sleeping).
Or are you just after uptime bragging rights? (That's really a bit sad on a home computer that isn't under heavy load)
I guess the parent just likes to have the choice to choose freely. But I understand your point of view, my guess is for you rebooting your PC is synonymous to fixing your PC. Some of us moved away from such operating systems many years ago.
Oh yeah, bragging about having uptime is like bragging about having two legs. We don't make fun of the crippled but we embrace what we have.
You can check the changelog of every own project/application if you're looking for specific features. I doubt they would compile an all-inclusive list like that. Besides I doubt you would even read it if they did, considering the size.
And then die. Smoking doesn't kill you instantly, but we still blame smoking for a lot of deaths. Ergo parent is drunk.
Anyway, am I the only one who finds this article redundant? I mean they guy is saying: "We cannot say for certain how X affects people since X has not been studied enough. Since X has not been studied enough the attention is aimed towards the extremists."
Hmm, where have I seen this before? Oh yeah, every fucking dispute through time and space and beyond.
An idiot to go into a situation like that without an airtight contract, then.
Well you have to be severely retarded to trust a company such as Microsoft during these times. They will leave you stranded in a heartbeat. It's business and Microsoft owes it to their employees and above all it's shareholders to see to their interest first, even if it means fucking someone over like this. You can't blame a company for trying it's hardest to survive and flourish, it's very existence depends on it. But don't get me wrong here, you can't blame a lump of cancer for growing either, it's very existence depends on it as well. Basically just because you can't blame it for surviving, it doesn't mean you shouldn't try to cut it out like the cancer it is.
Ah, I seem to recall a lot of people vowing that the changes from Win2k to Windows XP would push them into switching to Linux. Most people always seem to wind up back on Uncle Gates' products though. More's the pity.
Mind you that the usability gap between Win2k and Linux was larger back then than the usability gap between XP and Linux today.
Ehh... what? You can exclude me from this list of yours. Just because XP dev stopped it doesn't mean the world does. Those "features" that you're talking about can be e.g. IPv6 support, or the next official IP protocol. Features are not only "bling bling".

I'm missing OpenMoko.
people have said you can't run in ropers (cowboy boots), I've done it, almost as fast as in sneakers.
Hey! It doesn't count if you're rolling. ;-)

Oops.
You didn't get the joke and you answered your own post with a redundant "Wosh". You have failed in life.
I am dead on. Hosting the tracker = pointing to other peers for whatever material = not illegal.
It's 8:51 where you are, and I'm late for school? How egocentric can you be?

Ubuntu is linux-based, not Windows. We're not used to rebooting all the time.
Every 18 months is not "all the time".
18 months running Windows!? Such torture is even prohibited by the Geneva convention.
And that means rebooting.
Erm? Why is a reboot a problem?
Do you run Ubuntu on your server? (In which case, why would you be considering a Release Candidate?)
Or do you never reboot your home PC? (Surely you can afford a scheduled reboot overnight when you're sleeping).

I think we're missing a pretty important factor: production cost.

Nope.
Here we go again, hardware producers that refuse to provide linux drivers and people that are dumb enough to actually buy them. The story never ends.
It's called "an example". Please understand the concept of my post instead of acting dumb.
So you're saying that Win95 was allround just better than Win2k? I'm sorry but that makes you an idiot.
You went from 95 to XP without passing through Win2k? I have only one question for you: why would you do that to yourself!?
I'm not defining anything. The supplier defines the current product, with or without regards to the demandee.
What do you mean "nah"? It will be as old.
Ah, I seem to recall a lot of people vowing that the changes from Win2k to Windows XP would push them into switching to Linux. Most people always seem to wind up back on Uncle Gates' products though. More's the pity.

No one really cares about features at this point.
