As for the delay on some titles, some of it is licensing, some of it is simply how much they do. ADV had 1 dubbing studio and that was why they took so long on some series (they now have more). But even now they still have a backlog.
This is unacceptable. It doesn't matter what excuses there are for delays when most fansub groups release within days of the show being aired in Japan.
I have no interest in the English audio track as I haven't watched anything dubbed in years (including movies, tv series, etc). I imagine most of the thousands of people who watch fansubs don't care about the dubs either.
BTW, who is going to buy all those anime DVDs without first having some idea of what's in them? If they expect me to wait a couple of years to watch dubbed shows on TV they won't be selling me any more DVDs.
(I don't buy the DVD for everything I download but I have bought a lot of anime after downloading it.)
I'm in Canada and young people (including myself) don't vote here either. OTOH I'm not sure how it would've been better for a different party to introduce this law.
I believe young people are skeptical about the whole political system, rather than against any specific party (although most would vote against the conservatives if forced to vote at gunpoint). Lately it has been hard to have faith in a federal government that can't govern and a provincial government (here in Ontario) that has nothing better to do than pass a law banning pit bulls.
People choose what is best based on overall value, market share reflects this. For most people, the features Windows or Linux have are more important than those of the OSs that have been relegated to obscurity.
If I design a car that is better in every way than current ones only it doesn't work on pavement, then people won't buy it and it will be considered inferior.
Just because there are tons of GUIs on Linux doesn't mean it's OK for the programs I run to look and behave differently from one another. Or for me to have a bunch of different libraries that do the same thing loaded in memory.
OTOH, the quality of the GUI is improving very quickly.
This is probably more of a distribution thing since i've never had ugly font issues (except with apps that don't support aa... which all apps should support).
Platform dependent software tends to be compiler dependent as well. Making sure a program is portable will solve problems that may come up after upgrading gcc/glibc and attempting to recompile.
OSX doesn't run on a major platform (x86), it runs on a minor one (ppc). Once the new consoles come out it will also be a minority with regards to ppc.
I don't see how they would manage to sell 30 games average. I imagine most people buy less than 10 while many of the ones who buy more have more than one console.

Surely someone can break the anti-linux protection by modifying the program's source code.
Blind viewers? Is that like deaf listeners?
Seriously, I didn't think blind people would listen to movies... seems like a terribly boring thing to do.
Wrong site. Use the dictionary
You're right, it should have been -1 flamebait.
"In theory, communism works. In theory."
In theory, java programs are as fast as native ones. In theory.
And you'll also run into problems when the police find one of your neighbors has been downloading child porn.

A lot of people, both on the left and right, treat life as a team sport. "You play for our team or theirs."

There are always those idealistic ones that fail miserably.

I understood the quote as saying that if anyone wants to port an OS to the PS3, they are free (and incouraged) to do so.
Maybe flat roofs didn't exist in Australia but other parts of the world have had them for thousands of years.

I imagine many of the non-jewish posters (such as myself) don't see a major difference between reading a book and reading a scroll.
The importance of the scroll or the number of characters it contains isn't exactly obvious.
In the case described by the parent post, that of users not knowing how to use SSH, fine.
Isn't ssh almost exactly the same as telnet in terms of the interface?
I really don't see how anyone could claim that using one is harder than the other. Or that they don't want to learn something they already know.
None, because kernel hackers work on the kernel and they shouldn't get credit for openssh.
The idea is that this 16% number is very different from most other sources. The idea of "no virus = mac" is pretty ridiculous as well.
What other uses are there in a file sharing program? I can think of one, downloading pornography... but most of that is also copyrighted.
