So then this is about your ignorance rather then anything else. That's usually where hate comes from which makes sense why you hate something you hardly know anything about.
Problem is that a lot of the people who push this agenda aren't experts at all. I'm not talking about the scientists, that's fine. I'm talking about politicians, the MET office, i've even seen artists get TV time on the subject. Everyone has some alternative agenda for pushing this theory which is why a lot of people don't trust anything about the subject anymore.
Indeed, I'm normally the first in line to accuse Americans of doing this but this guy is just being an asshole.
He's also wrong. I also live in Asia and plenty of people pirate, play video games, and do all the things that the west does. GP is talking complete nonsense.
Actually you're wrong because to access that lost money you need the private key, you should learn something about the technology you're pushing before calling out others.
> Linux users (and that extends to most Free/Open Source software users) tend to have this annoying sense of entitlement that unnecessarily stresses relations with developers and turns everything into a flamewar. "Why doesn't MY bug get fixed?"
No, just no. I've filed bugs, committed code and developers have rejected the merges, i have made fixes that many people asked for but it something they disagreed with ideologically, and refused to pull. These people waste MY time because rather then say "we don't think that's a bug and we'll never accept something that fixes it", instead they lead people on with "why don't you submit a patch", then it's "not enough test cases", etc until it's finally just ignored.
Sorry but everything you said is bullshit, time and time again I have been leaded on by "@ubuntu.com" users on launchpad either "does it work in this release", submitting patches that end up rejected instead of just saying they'll never accept that, and bugs there were simply ignored that I simply won't waste my time there anymore. Ubuntu is great and I use it but i'll never go back to launchpad.
You sound like the typical apologist that's never strongly participated in contributions from the outside, because you wouldn't be saying what you're saying otherwise. I've contributed to many different open source projects but I never experienced the total lack of care if something gets fixed or not as I have with "@ubuntu.com" users on launchpad.
Many people have this same exact experience, it's not something you can just handwave away.

There have been plenty of times when UI bugs that effect EVERYONE get these kinds of responses. Not all problems are hardware problems.
Simple example.. Default config misconfigured.. do I REALLY need to test that someone changed the value in the default config to the correct setting every ubuntu release? or perhaps the person copying and pasting in the triage line to check it out instead of wasting everyones time.
> You could report a bug though, which would likely get fixed by the time you say you'll upgrade from 10.04.
With ubuntu this has never been my experience. Instead it gets ignored and you get bothered every 5 months to a year being asked "does it work on the latest version"? and I'm not talking about stuff that only effects me, i'm talking about stuff that anyone could take 5 minutes to test if it works themselves but they don't.
That and the fact that Ubuntu rejects bugs that are upstream bugs. No, filing bugs in launchpad is totally useless waste of anyone's time because they never look at them.
Except that's not always the case, try finding out how to enable more virtual desktops in Unity 2D not 3D, tooks much longer as everyone tells you to install ccsm which is wrong.
Where is the download now button? It's just masses and masses of documentation and that's why no one wants to use Debian because it's just a complete mess of policy and other bureaucracy that wastes your time.
Sometimes it's a case of the goal posts simply moving, and has nothing to do with the free software purists. Nvidia, traditionally has had great drivers on Linux but now they have a new technology called optimus and they won't make linux drivers for it, for whatever their reasons are. So now a lot of people are back to where they started shitty driver support.
Not really sure what you're talking about with regards to backwards compatibility. I can run old linux apps without problems. There's plenty of old closed source linux games that run just fine or with minor a bit of fiddling, the kind of fiddling you'd have to do on other platforms.
Even if it was true, it still makes no sense because OSX gets away with it all the time. Developers would have a much harder time with snow leopard and lion coming out then a new version of ubuntu and that's not some crack at OSX, it just shows that it's as big of an issue that you're making it out to be.
VMWare, Virtual box and other virtual machines are well.. virtual machines, they require running an operating system on top of an operating system to run your windows app. WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) project doesn't do this.
WINE provides a set of APIs which translates windows API calls to BSD and Linux ones. For example, your windows application might call an api to open a directx window where as in wine it will have the same API name and inside that function call open an openGL window.
Doing this doesn't slow down, in theory, running the application because it's simply translating the calls. In practice things can sometimes run faster or slower either because the WINE calls do things in a way that's faster then the windows one or slower. Sometimes it doesn't even require implementing so WINE just skips over the function call.
Video is clearly faked. The rotor is snapped at both tips (typical ground crash) and when it lands it makes a crash sound then someone says "damnit" *video cuts*.
You can clearly see it wasn't shot. Both rotors are snapped at the tips like what would happen when it crashes into the ground. Regardless of their cause they're simply liars and that pisses me off more then anything else. Their other videos i've watched are just as questionable, always cutting out then cutting back to evidence but I can tell for sure that the copter one is fake.
What probably happened was they landed to fast then crashed it. The audio confirms it too if you listen closely you'll hear a ping as it lands, that's the rotors snapping.
Under the assumption that they even hit the thing, there's no proof.
As a copter RC fan the video looks faked to me. The damage looks like the typical damage from a bad landing (both tips are broken), not a bullet. If something hit the copter mid air it would have reacted more violently then it did, and lastly to get the damage as shown in the video where both ends of the blade are snapped off you'd have to shoot it twice on exactly the tips of the rotors.
Nope, the damage clearly shows it crashed, not shot down.

Yeah, PHP has that too.
I can think of plenty of reasons,
- client wants it
- only x months to build something and most of the team only knows it
- pre-existing code base
I'm sure you have many childish retorts for all these points however..
> Now days I evangelize RoR
Why do evangelize anything? Just let people use what they like and stop caring if people like things you don't like. You're acting like a child.

its a joke based on the politicians quote dude...

Sweden is already a democracy, this is only for countries that struggle with it.

They're making money from server software they're writing. The fact that people connect to their server with MapleStory's client is irrelevant.
There already is, you can force packages to be a certain version and lock packages to a certain version.
You can do this in Debian systems by opening synaptic and selecting an installed package then going to the package menu in the top of the window.

I'd be happy with just a optimus binary driver. As it stands some laptops running linux can't even access their graphics cards properly.
Maybe it's popular because Unity is better then Gnome. I prefer unity to gnome.
