Why would the shit themselves? Qt was dual licensed under GPLv3 and commercial for years before the LGPL option was added and the FSF didn't make a sound.
I can get an evaluation of competing distros and get updates forever. That includes the distro that is eating Red Hat's lunch and has surpassed it in number of server installations. And the derived distro based on that which is dominating the Linux desktop.
The one that Mark Shuttleworth admits is not profitable while Red Hat is? Eating Red Hat's lunch? Good joke.
Do I need to call you the waaahmulance since I've apparently damaged your ego so much? If you don't want to be called out for epeen wagging, then don't pull out your dick and wave it around like one of the many arrogant "rig" builders.
So far it's (arguably) viable to build your own machine if you're a tinkerer nerd whose time is worthless while discussing a system marketed for gamers.
Your butthurt is pretty strong. Did I hurt your ego that much Mr. Epeen Rigmaster?
So it's either convenience or your time is worthless? Nice black and white world you live in.
No, I never stated such a false dilemma. That is of your own imagining.
I'm not faulting those people,
No, just acting arrogant like all other "rig" builders.
but these aren't exactly cheap workstation systems so the whole bit about their time being valuable while discussing a gaming system is amusing.
Yes, they aren't which is why very few people will buy them. Alienware has always been a niche brand. In the end, you still fail to realize that for the people who buy this system they are only interested in using it. They don't care about having assembled it or anything else.
Not to mention saving money, you know that thing that makes Walmart so attractive?
You only save money if your time is worthless. Most people don't want to spend their time on the effort and are *gasp* willing to pay for convenience. It's almost like they have different priorities than you. Unspeakable!
They are? I pay 15-20 bucks at Gamestop for all my games which is about what the same game usually goes for on Steam. Oh right, you're probably comparing full retail cost of a console game vs a discounted PC version's price.

The 90% of desktop users that use Windows?
That's a story about the dev kit not the PS4.
Yes, I know the history. How is that at all relevant to the time period from 2005-2009 which I am referring to where it was both GPLv3 and commercial.
No the vast majority of games use LibGCM or go bare metal. Next to no one used PSGL on either the PS2 or PS3.

Unless your legal name is "icebike", then I fail to see the "irony". What is ironic about using one pseudonym over another?
No, it's for large scale SNA (social network analysis for those who are unfamiliar).
and to my knowledge, Microsoft never licensed a third-party wireless controller for the Xbox 360.
Then your knowledge is quite limited. 3rd party 360 controllers have been around for years. They even list 3rd party controllers on the Xbox site.

But, hey, it was easier to bash Microsoft than actually verify your claims, right?
Google's purchases are decided by politicians? Since when? Since, you know, Google's the one who bought it for the collaboration with NASA.
Moblin, I'm guessing.
Sure there is: sarcastic over-emphasis.
He won that degree from a claw game.
ASP is "offline" programming? Since when?
Doesn't mean that T-Mobile is involved. For example, Duetsche Telekom was selling the iPhone years before T-Mobile did.
How did selling the Apple ][ to schools hurt Apple exactly?
Yes, there are. For example: http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/08/03/2051252/Intel-Confirms-Data-Corruption-Bug-Halts-New-SSDs
So never?

There were more than 2 Terminator movies? Since when?

Your butthurt is pretty strong. Did I hurt your ego that much Mr. Epeen Rigmaster?
So that's why you're proud to pay more?
Who says I'm proud to pay more? Or that I'd ever buy this system? Do you routinely pull shit from your ass as arguments?
