Your "n00b admin" might spend next other weekends clicking around tabs and not able to find some features. He would also need to install security patches and reboot his server on weekends because users would scream then server is down. Eventually, they will come to Apache/anyotherunixbased as a long-term solution.
I would say he is rather "fair" rude. Most of the time I agree with him and would say the same to a friend. Sometimes it even make me laugh. I admire his ability to negotiate a high level (political) stuff and continue to write a low level code.
And it's not because he produces a well know product.
I don't understand why so mach noise around this problem.
If your browser crashes on a website it's something wrong with your browser, not a website.
If your system goes down because of couple new mobile phone it's something wrong with your network, not a phone.
it's not clear if it's gonna be new software from Symantec or just the current version of antivirus.
If it's something new, they should give her a change to play with it first.
may be you/he didn't test it. But I'm sure developers of kde spent hours to be able to anononce this:

Treat specific attribute values case-insensitively during style matching. With these changes, KHTML becomes the first rendering engine to thoroughly pass the 578 tests of the excellent Automated CSS3 Selectors Testsuite (http://www.css3.info/selectors-test).

I have several issues with ATI drivers and my thinkpad t42p. All of them are listed in
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_fglrx... and all of them are critical. I mean like screen flickering and hang on loggin out.
I simple can't use the driver with such bugs!
These bugs are filed for 1.5 year by now. I don't care if ATI has better developing circle or not.
When all problems will be solved?
When I can use TV-OUT with my ATI card under linux again?..
And don't tell me about IP. IBM, for example, released drivers as open source and it's comes with xorg by default.
I simple don't recommend buying ATI cards to anyone.
The better alternatives are exist.
Not totally true. IBM released all sources for there own i810/i915 cards, for example. It's in xorg source tree and you don't have to download it separately.
I would stick with any toolkit which you have a control on.
If you know a bug in Dojo - open a bug file.
Sign a paper and send it to Dojo developers if you have a patch and want to fix it yourself.
Well, it's true. I don't reboot my box. And it's nearly true with Vista too. Windows users (and everybody else with them) so used to reboot workstations. However there is no real reason to do so if it just works.
I guess Windows(c) is much more stable now and the default action has been changed to suspend to ram in Vista.
Once you are doing suspend/hibernate it shoudn't be big difference which OS you are using.

That's long and very useful explanation spiced with some humour. Thank you.
Kasparov is trying to become a next Russian president today. Let 10 years older and smarter Big Blue beat him in this too.

Nop, GPL won't apply here.
