Don't recommend linux, linux finds users, not the other way around
Use linux at home and at work if possible and if you want
I don't want linux to be tailored for average users, I want it to be flexible, reliable and usable, just like it is
Infuriated, holy wars are akin to the development process of driven developers, let's keep ideas open and accept its place
In short, linux & co are most excellent products with hobbyist fringes. I like it. Why change a winning team? Because others
choose to run Windows or MacOSX? Let them.
Even Xemacs that I often use, I've got one editing a html file and it uses 32 MB (and that's a low value, it's often 100MB). Why?
Newbies often get entangled in the vast pool of applications and editors. Let me enlighten you by linking to a piece of the bible made long time ago by very intelligent and experienced programmers; http://www.rants.org/ed.html
Agreed. As an IT Director, I can tell you I would be pissed someone took company inventory and did this.
Security is based off of locking down that laptop so you dont do something stupid like install a "free game" with a trojan in it.
So you did piss at the directors for requiring to install Windows on company inventory?
None.
You don't administer the machines as everyone uses their favorite distro, it is not your responsibility.
If you give developers a choice for platform, anything will do as long as they accomplish what they are hired for.
Linux distros are a matter of taste, each with benefits and downsides. Choosing is part of the experience.
The rest of the world can go pound sand then, because the reason you have expensive fuel is your own fault.
Not really. US has cheap (or actually more or less free) oil due to the fact that the dollar is the world reserve currency and
the US can print as much dollars as they'd like.
The pounding quote is fitting though.
So...why attack in 2012? What is the point? If this was 1990, it'd be more understandable.
You missed the scandals in Europe lately, lots of abuses cases (read: *thousands* in NL, BE, FR, I repeat thousands, not one) emerged *after* the deadline for criminal prosecution. Lots of victims bear memories of youth without any compensation
and meager acknowledgement; even a priest who manages to say 'Ich habe es nicht gewusst'.
Considering the scale and impact of the abuse, it's in no way comparable to the actions of a single man;
you're downplaying the issue, your comparison is moot and insensitive, it is a structural issue (sexual repression) with no single offender, but LOTS of offenders, more than any other organization in existence.
*Any* other organization having this trackrecord of abusing children would be declared illegal immediately.
Ignorant prick.
No, tanks were not an option as the ninja's easily disabled them by throwing shurikens in the drive sprockets.
After the ninja's saw the German culture pirated by Disney, they decided the pirates pose a danger so
the ninja's collectively imploded with a white flash to protect their culture and ancestry.
Their strategy will continue to suck for users and fsck users, simply because they completely controlled
distribution of media before the digital revolution (more than a decade now), and are obsoleted by the digital revolution.
They have no means of existance as distributor other than artificial pressure.

I don't think anyone is waiting on Windows 8. Vista is still fresh in the memories and 7 does the job just fine.
GCC doesn't need GPL, a freeware license would suffice.
Over the years I've read and analyzed the sources and consistently found the source to be as readable as the binary code, regardless of platform.
Compiler developer forums seem to confirm my findings with frequent comments and insults on GCC like:
Nonetheless, I praise the omnipotence of GCC, as long as I'm not the first guy on a new platform.

Try and attend a running clinic
Best of luck
Connect your door handles with a timer to the nearest power outlet.

No worries. We managed to contain the problem by dumping all crop near Nova Zembla.
can you provide a nintendo analogy?
for a guy like me, this is pretty much an honest-to-god bughunt ;)

Try researching monotheism, you'll get Gunpowder and the wheel takes much longer. See, Sid Meier agrees.
Not your laptop, not your rules to make.
So you did piss at the directors for requiring to install Windows on company inventory?
so, how does it stack up against a Riva TNT2?
(ducks)

It would be easier and more effective to maintain silence and truncate their index.html.
For the sake of justice, a steaming pile of manure at dropspeed would be more appropriate.
Pretty stupid.. seven's the part in which Voldemort finally gets his ass kicked.
That's not unfortunate, you're j-j-j-just h-h-h-handi-capable... very much

No one has seen a real ninja since.
