Good for them. They are probably going to outgrow RedHat but since they are not really in the same league I don't see that as a problem. With Linux commercial companies getting stronger and stronger I wonder what's going to happen to Debian and others... Not that I will miss Debian but it looks like they will be pushed out of the game ( at least from the perspective of mainstream technical press )
No I am not sysadmin. I am software developer and my task is to shield the user from underlaying OS as much as possible. Ideally, the software they use should be seamless with the task they are required to do. That's what I meant by "computing ignorance"

So fricking what ? Are you willing to settle for less just because somebody is trying make money out of their software ??
"computing ignorance" ??? Isn't that the way it supposed to be ? Normally, I want my users to be completely ignorant about computer hardware and OS they are using.
So tell us, what is that "unknown better" that would replace MS Office for most people ? MS software sometimes fails because they often aim for too much but generally it works exactly as advertised...

Yep. Even troll got pulled into this game and came up with themable qt ( unnecesary bloat for toolkit) I guess they wanted to match GTK which first came out with that madness ( it seems like themes and related stuff was more importand to GTK crowd than having properly working toolkit in the first place - on the other hand, default GTK is so ugly that , I guess, they had to come up with something to fix that.)
Yep, you are right, most themes are ugly like hell ( specially those toolbar buttons - uhrrrr)
IT WORKS. Look to Canada. We have a system that functions. One of the best free systems around. Sadly, the US keeps stealing our doctors cuz they get paid better elsewhere.. (Yes, there are other issues to be thought about with the Canadian Health Care system, but it doesn't suck)
Lie !
I personaly know people who were so fed up waiting for MRI ( 6 months ) that they came to US and got it done in about one week. There are many, many canadians crossing the border to get quality healtcare here is US so stop spreading your propaganda... we have enough problems here without public healtcare.
Of course we do suffer. First: Tax reates are definately too high.
Second: Public education is in a terrible state despite us pumping bilions and bilions of $ for the last couple of decades. Compared to many countries US public schols are extremely well equiped but still lag terribly behind when one cosiders quality of education provided by those institutions.
Who the fuck are you to tell me how much money should I give away to complete strangers? Wasn't tax supposed to be only for military, police and not much more ? Don't forget >> it is my money !! I earned it.
that happens but not that often. It is far more frequent on Linux when you have to recompile all your stuff cause some idiot didn't think that keeping binary compability between libraries is an importand thing.

How do you define stupidity of typical American as oposed to that of a typical Canadian ?
Dude, come to US and you will be happy forever ...

Maybe you just don't know what quality healtcare means ...
Another thing..
What is the tax rate there in Norway ? How much of _your_ money do you keep and how much is taken by your goverment ?

Something is terribly wrong
Of course we are opossed !
1. What do you think, who is going to spend money more wisely > me or some asshole in Washington ??
Exactly! They seem to forget that this is our money and we are not slaves as of yet.
Who the fuck are you to tell me how much money should I give away to complete strangers? Wasn't tax supposed to be only for military, police and not much more ?
Don't forget >> it is my money !! I earned it.
But why do we have to suffer so much with goverment run education ?? Why not private ?
If those motherf* didn't take so much of my money I would be perfectly able to educate kid on my own (ever heard about pricate schools ?)
Where are you ??
Sweden ?
Linux is very nice as a server but it's years behind Winas a workstation ...

There is already one. It is called The Internet.
And the school did the right thing ! Don't you think ?
I highly doubt that is is legal to purchase alkohol before age 18 in most of the Europe.
Anyone firsthand experience ??
"SUN OFFICE" that doesn't even sound right ...
I don't think MS will be very concerned with "SUN OFFICE"
hehe
MS Office for the most part, is very fine product.
Actually, it is probably the best things MS ever created ( IIS is another one)
