because a stealth submersible conspiracy makes much more sense then incompetent companies that only care about their bottom line and doing the least amount of work as possible..
You've written all this and failed to address the point at hand.
You state Ubuntu is point, click to download and install the drivers failing to address my point about how you do that when you can not connect to the internet via wifi.
You make the comparison that ndiswrapper is no better then windows. Great, but I don't care about windows and their failures. Just because it's no better then windows doesn't absolve it from being mess. Drivers in the kernel are a much better solution.
It's disingenuous to call it Google beating Apple. It's more like a group of manufacturers (HTC, Motorola, Samsung to name a few) all using the Android system that are beating Apple's iPhone.
Didn't seem that confusing to me. The gunner even says "that's what happens when you take your kid to a fight". Seems to me like he knew exactly what he was doing.
Yes yes continue you spread your lies and assumptions. I'm not a tourist which should be obvious by my nick, but since you're a forang you don't understand what the hell you're talking about. Best you not try and talk about Thai politics when you only get it from your country side girlfriend.
You see the part before where you quoted which talked about distribution? That's called context. The problems are referring to the distribution problems. Not software bugs.
You're a troll because you quoted out of context..
Your quote..
and that means no Linux Wi-Fi problem for new devices and upcoming distributions at all.
Full quote..
With these device drivers now open source, distributions can ship them out-of-the-box, and that means no Linux Wi-Fi problems for new devices and upcoming distributions at all.
It was obviously about distribution problems however you misquoted and made a strawman out of the issue, hence why you've been modded troll.
The article is completely based upon the research of a Dr. Hansen so I looked him up. Dr. Hansen who is more then just a scientist, he is a political activist and suggest you read up on him.
Here's what other people say about him from wikipedia, so you can run off their to check your facts..
Physicist Freeman Dyson is critical of Hansen's climate-change activism. "The person who is really responsible for this overestimate of global warming is Jim Hansen. He consistently exaggerates all the dangers... Hansen has turned his science into ideology.”
Also this one from the new york times.
After Hansen's arrest in West Virginia, New York Times columnist Andrew Revkin wrote: "Dr. Hansen has pushed far beyond the boundaries of the conventional role of scientists, particularly government scientists, in the environmental policy debate."
So basically your article comes down to do I trust a scientist that is known to exaggerate his figures and blow things out of proportion?
My response is no. If he's running around protesting, claiming people are censoring reports and constantly getting involved in politics then he isn't really doing science and other scientists agree. It's a consensus!
"I think you're using a different definition of ISP than me," I responded, "what I mean is... I wouldn't have considered Google to be an ISP, but a search engine. Can you clarify?"
"No, no. They're actually both ISPs, as they allow people to access websites. Would you consider any of the companies you worked at to be an ISP?"
The parent makes in interesting point however. If the famous hockey stick graph is to be accepted as fact then why isn't every year a record heat wave?
It's deceiving to the point of almost lying. You can whine about the finer points of that sentence and how a Mac isn't a PC etc, etc. However we all know that it's been specifically designed to fool those with less knowledge of computers.
No other industry would be able to get away with such "facts".
Well, I go by the apple store a lot, "no PC viruses" they advertise on their big screens. Funny because they doesn't tell you about all the OSX viruses.
Sure they didn't use whatever exact phrasing you're trying to twist it to but it's pretty obviously a lie they use on people not so into computers.

Except when we're talking about the swedish guy in the fucking summary...

It's not a ship party. It's a marketing ploy and a horrible one at that.

This guy isn't Mr Microsoft. He simply worked for them. Have some damn perspective.

You'd prefer uncontrolled mass riots? Let me give you a clear example of what happens from one I recently experienced first hand in Thailand.
People gather, everything is good, they're annoying but not causing any trouble. Splinter groups start getting violent and causing trouble. They attack the police and military there to move them out with grenade launchers and ak47s. It turns into a full blown riot with people getting killed and destroying property. Next you know, the whole city center is on fire.
So cry me a river about your right to form mass uncontrolled protests without police planning and assistance.
You see the part before where you quoted which talked about distribution? That's called context. The problems are referring to the distribution problems. Not software bugs.
That's really a non-issue though. Simply because people can modify products to violate FCC rules doesn't make the manufacturer liable.
From the sound of it, looks like you're still in for problems as the code is only for their new 11n products.
How do you download drivers if your wifi isn't working? It's a kludgy workaround compared having a proper driver that works from the live CD.
You're a troll because you quoted out of context..

Context is important. It's obvious the submitter is talking about problems with distribution, not software bugs.

One quick google proves you wrong. You're simply rehashing Apple's claims.
Maybe it's the same guy from this story
The parent makes in interesting point however. If the famous hockey stick graph is to be accepted as fact then why isn't every year a record heat wave?
Could you explain why points 9 and 10 are "wrong" or did you mean "I disagree". If so, why not state why?
Linux may have bugs just like any other software but your strawman of linux being unstable and cheap is just stupid.
Go away troll.
Hi smartypants, jail breaking isn't installing custom firmware, please read next time.

So it's like the network neutrality issue but with cars.
