No, Linus gives us his gut feeling. I know I can trust him when he says something is bad, just the same, I know I seriously fucked up, or were unable to make my case when he goes ballistic. I prefer, and value, that behavior over someone who would not answer because he is afraid to say something negative. As I have experience with...
I tried this approach. I was nothing but continuously stepped on. I have never been given more respect than after I started to stand my ground and be arrogant. Go figure. The society does not seem to actually work as you would like. If Linus was never arrogant with anybody, Linux would not be as successful as it is now. Linus and Pottering are no different than De Raadt or Stallman.
If you are referring to Linus' 'Guys, this is not a d*#@-sucking contest. If you want to parse PE binaries, go right ahead. If Red Hat wants to deep-throat Microsoft, that's *your* issue.' from http://linux-beta.slashdot.org..., then it is a fully technical criticize of Red Hat policy choices. I don't see anything personal in that. If you have any other quote, please provide information on their context.
You are fantasizing the actual wild west. I guess you also believe CCW laws lead to blood continuously flow down the streets, and more gun laws reduce crime... Whereas a society is just as violent as its culture, mainly created by lieberal MSM...
do you mean over today's hypocrite society utterly sanitize language. Everybody, everyday, is saying "fuck", but somehow, your society has decided it should not be uttered... What a despicable world... At least, back then, people had balls, not like today's overly feminized man...
Is it that the language used is too harsh, or that today's society is just too much censored and purged from any form of negativity ? Creating thin-skinned irresponsible generations.
It's pretty much impossible in a tech company to have an opinion, not have to excuse oneself about having this opinion, and have a long and brilliant career in the company. Sometimes, this translate into worthless technical discussion where nobody is giving any counter argument. Those followers are generally also those getting promoted, but also the most incompetent. I might represent an utter minority, but I'm only giving negative feedback. What I'm being asked is to provide a technical analysis, not to be friend with my boss. It would seem that people are unable to be honest with one another.
I fully understand Linus' comment, it is sad to have to antagonize people and community, but on the other side, if you comply to every whim, you're not aiming for excellence, and stay mediocre. Compromise is the worst. While it is sad to see people unable to differentiate between a technical and personal attack, and the other way, some person making personal attack from technical point, we might just have to live with it.
All in all, I prefer to have enemies, and be true to my principle, rather than only have friends and keep compromising on my value.
Try running the latest Lightroom, Photoshop CC, and After Effect CC on that machine, editing raw DLSR files and 1080p video, and you will suffer. Most of my hardware update is at foremost due to more demanding software, rather than hardware failure per-se.
Tesla's car are for the upper 5% of the population, not for the manual worker who can't afford a car worth many years of his labor, who has not access to credit, and who will be stuck driving a 20 years old car, which has a terribly low MPG. There is no way electrical vehicle can ever be affordable enough for these people. Basically, Tesla are for the guy who's wondering if he should buy a Porsche or a Mazeraty, but whose wife convince he should jump in the green bashing era...
3) and 4) are only valid in during election when it's time to manufacture consent. Trust me, they are very pro-government and pro-regulation if it goes in the interest of the companies paying their multi-millions campaign.
The whole question is actually, when does a gathering of cells legally become humans ? As said above, some religious extremists consider every spermatozoa is a human being. By that definition, given the litters of sperm I ejaculated in my sexual life, I am a mass-murderer.
The problem arises when the women end up being among the 1% statistical rate of an IUD failure, or the 20% failure rate of condoms. No matter what *you* think, it is none of your business to put any constrain on the women who's about to have her life fucked up by a baby she does not want.
What did you believe ? Who's enough of a fool to believe acronyms agencies will let Apple, Google or Microsoft decide on their own ? Not at this scale. Agencies won't mind if a tech entrepreneur try to get his share of the pie, but he will forever be insignificant. Once he become big enough, he'll join the group as everybody else, just to stay in business because the feds will certainly have found a non-compliance from a dusty law book.
This whole thing is just a marketing show to re-gain the average customer not-so lost trust...
The Rifleman Creed dates back to Vietnam, yet, it does not mean it was applied to the letter in the field. Battlefields US has been engaging (as the primary offender) in the past 50 years is no not an open battle with a clear, well defined, enemy.
let me guess... how about in your parent's basement, playing with your network of old [almost free] Sparcs, HPPA and VAX, running all kind of services, because that's utterly fun to do ?
If you need "training" for a job, you probably should continue to look for your passion... or you are just a worthless commute zombie doing it for the money.

Do you mean he was being non-violent when he said to women to have "Faith That the System Will Actually Give You the Right Raises" ?

Send a patch proving him wrong. I'm pretty sure he will recognize his mistake, something that you probably won't do in the same situation.
BSD folks have their share of hypocrisy, they're just too much coward to do everything in public. Most BSD are hiding a lot from their user base.

That's the new Apple Revolution ! Soon to come, the Apple Bingo.

This has nothing to do about Democracy, it is just car dealer lobbyist having a stronger voice (and bigger overall wallet) than Tesla.
Beside pure moral grounds, if the knowledge to succeed the transplant is there, why not ?
The definition of "consent" is not universal... for better or for worst.
You're not getting it, these "rights" would be one way only, and come with no responsibilities.

Most Irak and Afgan combat footage show more of a "spay and pray" [correct this time] rather than "one shot, one kill" mentality...
