Terrorist actions could win the fight in theory, but in reality it's much harder to fight as a terrorist because the collateral damage turns the population against you. I just don't see any way an armed revolt could work given the realities of today's military.
Thats what the US thought when they invaded Iraq, and now were are they?
and how do your costumers do that when you are the only highspeed ISP in town?, Your argument would hold if there was lots of competition but in some places comcast is the only company to get highspeed from
because all of us have the time and money to install windows xp just to pass through the border of 2 friendly countries and not to mention I don't think its ilegal in the US or Canada to have an os besides windows on our own personal laptops
well then I think Linus should mark every kernel bug as a specific ubuntu bug instead of testing all the distros, because obviously no one cares about the rest of them
Didn't you hear?, everything is linked to cancer or at least if you listen to the news thats what it seems like. "New Study: Breathing is linked to cancer!, researchers now say to breath less"

Chasing tail-lights. In the absence of a definite design of their own, many developers assume that whatever Microsoft or Apple have done is good design. Sometimes it is, but sometimes it isnâ(TM)t. In imitating their designs, Free Software developers repeat their mistakes, and ensure that they can never have a better design than the proprietary alternatives.
Solution: Encourage innovative design through awards and other publicity. Update design guidelines, where appropriate, to reflect the results of successful design experiments.

Most people complain if it doesn't act exactly like the proprietary counter part, eg. The GIMP. I bet most the "usability" problems of free software is that it doesn't look and act exactly like the closed-source counter part
I think that would only apply to one or two man projects at best. eg. the firefox dev team won't just stop improving firefox, or the linux kernel devs won't just stop writing the linux kernel
whats so bad about this exactly?, people that do this stuff are breaking rules. I mean, catching people who failed emission tests is good for the environment and catching people without insurance is also a good thing. Its like where I live, people were mad when the cops had radar on the highway, and the people were saying its just a revenue generator, when speeding can kill people, and catching speeders stops people from getting killed.
So can someone explain why this is so bad?

I don't understand why people hate the awesome bar so much, its not really that much different from what the address bar was like before.
Considering Apple still supports it on 10.5, I don't think they consider it obsolete, unless they consider 10.5 obsolete
So just because apple probably won't support it in the near future, no one should support any apps for PPC?
so its like SCO?
NO MACS FOR YOU! come back one year

I thought people couldn't be fired because of stuff outside of work?
You have to develop flash?, I feel sorry for you
You have problems....
I meant friendly as in the US isn't preparing to invade Canada sort of thing, I should have said 2 non-warring nations
because all of us have the time and money to install windows xp just to pass through the border of 2 friendly countries and not to mention I don't think its ilegal in the US or Canada to have an os besides windows on our own personal laptops
I think you missed the point
when did MSFT promote openness?
Would you prefer Slashdot editors mangle quotes to conform to your prejudices?
You mean they don't?
well then I think Linus should mark every kernel bug as a specific ubuntu bug instead of testing all the distros, because obviously no one cares about the rest of them
how do you watch movies live?, aren't movies kinda, you know, taped?
Ubuntu isn't even close to being as stable as debian
You can start phishing phishers and get your sweet sweet revenge
