Maybe compiling source for every little update is fine for a hobbyist running Debian Unstable, but people just trying to run a server and get work done really would just like a quick little download to be done with it.
I know that's one of GNOME's weaknesses. KDE's unified packages are nice and I wish GNOME had followed that example.
But I think KDE is losing its way, so in the last few months I've started to take a keen interest in GNOME. My hope is that I'll be able to start using it with 2.8. The new mime-type system (catching up with KDE 2.0) should help a lot.
Why assume that only government can succeed? Get the government monopoly out of the way and let people start on private projects that can spend for years without taxpayers paying for it, and the threat of cancellations that brings.
I'd say they're staying put BECAUSE the market has sorted itself out.
People no longer have the luxury of being in a market being flooded with "irrational exuberence," so now the money isn't throwing crazy amounts of money at anyone who can fake competence.

A high school teacher elevating process to the same level as thought?
That's more common than you think.
That's exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for. Thank you.
Does anyone know why Apache didn't just use glib?
Is this a high even if you adjust for inflation?
In your example, you're not indebted to me necessarily. You stole from me. That's an entirely different matter.
Legal tender only applies to debts. I don't have to agree to sell you anything in the first place if all you have to offer me is, say, a $100.
Learn the English langauge. His "confederates" were his partners in crime.

No, it just means ATI is REALLY bad at making drivers on other platforms.
What's the point of limiting technology to things that Joe Sixpack needs?
The average home NEVER needs to transport a ton of goods. Shall we not build trucks and ships that can?
bricklayer, not construction worker.
So because millionaires won't pay for it, use the men with guns from the IRS to force them to pay for it? Lovely.

It also hinders those of us who have supported SPF, the old name of the spec before MS joined in.
Oh, but don't let the problems with SMTP hinder your irrational hatred of all things connected with Microsoft.

I hope they are. I WANT GNOME to work on FreeBSD, but it wouldn't compile outside of ports (with many patches) in 2.6, in my experience.
Idiot. It was the person I was replying to who suggested it wasn't portable.
So are you suggesting it's unfair to criticize GNOME for having components that don't work portably?
Idiots. "Open Source" is a kind of license, not a kind of development.

Comparing people who passively use software with actors in a market economy shows you don't really understand how a market economy works.
Everyone who participates in a market economy must produce, or else they'll have nothing to trade in that market.
Darth Vader being Luke's father traumatized you pretty bad, huh?
Or was it the death of Spock?
Some second installments are really good.
Isn't it about the only workstation that can install Gentoo in a reasonable amount of time?
Er, how can you call people who don't produce any open source code part of an open source community?
Of *course* users of free software are whiny. Read a user forum for *any* software and you'll see whining!
They can't give to candidates. That link doesn't show a corporation giving one penny to a candidate.
