When you have rising population of white supremacist and neo-cons in this country, who claims that Chinese people are coming over to kill Americans, bringing in loaded guns into an Obama town hall meeting, glass ceiling in corporations (especially defense contractors), I wouldn't surprise this happen, sooner or later.
FOSS community does not provide legal protection for sexual harassment because in most cases it is a hobby/volunteer work. However, most proprietary software developers are employments, therefore have full legal protection of the labor laws.
In the new age, it is going to be the women feeding the men.
"For the computer-based Analytical Writing section, each essay receives a score from at least one trained reader, using a six-point holistic scale. In holistic scoring, readers are trained to assign scores on the basis of the overall quality of an essay in response to the assigned task. The essay score is then reviewed by e-rater, a computerized program developed by ETS, which is being used to monitor the human reader. If the e-rater evaluation and the human score agree, the human score is used as the final score. If they disagree by a certain amount, a second human score is obtained, and the final score is the average of the two human scores."
If you find a way on what the algorithm look for, even a software-generated essay can get 6's.
GPL can still exists, and the small distros (I will call "hobbyist distro") of course can co-exist.
I am pointing out the fact that, if someone want to see Linux (or just "Ubuntu" for that matter) to start becoming mainstream, a SINGLE charismatic leader is required to push the movement. Only a centralized structure can afford the deep pockets required to wage war against Microsoft and Apple. People seems to forget that while they are going apeshit about Microsoft's domination, but doing little about it. If you want to win, mobilize people behind your distro. Get developers together to create more games. Get companies like Valve to start developing Team Fortress 2 for Ubuntu. Start organize movement on university campus world wide to encourage use of your OS and provide SDKs and instructions.
In short, The Linux movement needs to run like a political campaign.
You cannot have thousands of distro of the same kernel all called themselves "Linux". You need a brand, a unique brand. (i.e. "Ubuntu", not "Ubuntu Linux".)
You need a centralized marketing budget.
You need to advertise about the pros/cons and comparisons between yours and the competitor's product (Ubuntu vs. OS X vs. Windows)
You need to make functionality and mechanics as similar as possible to your competitors EARLY IN THE CAMPAIGN without violating patents. Once you gain market shares, you can start going into some other path.
It needs one prominent, professional figure where even a non-computing person can speak of his/her name. Microsoft had Bill Gates, Apple had Steve Jobs.
On the Linux side, there is Linus Torvalds vs. RMS. An old Chinese saying said that, "You cannot store two tigers in one house."
There can be only one spokesperson. ONE and ONLY ONE. Then only we will stand chance against Microsoft and Apple.
That is what sports and politics is for. Geeks need to involve in these to shine.
For sports, you can count OUT American football and basketball because most of us won't have the physical type required to succeed. Association football (a.k.a. soccer) is the best to attract attractive girls.

Problem solved!
but for proprietary software, not for FOSS.

You are bound to miss the benefit and superiority that Windows 7 has to offer.
Look up "host booting" on YouTube and you see tons of people selling bots to use on Xbox live!
Thanks. I don't like the pain of flying up and down.
We need a high speed MagLev train from Hong Kong to Rio de Janeiro. That will sure benefit the entire west coast.
The GRE Writing portion is already using it.

If you want victory against Microsoft and Apple, there can only be one leader.
An Old Chinese saying: One house can not store two tigers.
Yup. Cloud computing is coming along.
Centralized effort is the key.

We need native support, not something like under Wine.
Made in China.
My instructor always bring about 30 "clean" TI-83+ before the exam starts, and distribute to everyone. You are forced to use the "Clean" ones.
AFAIK it runs on 4x AAA batteries
At least yourself makes a good ground.
I bet the case will be all eaten in a year or so.
ObamaCare is coming, and it will accept anyone without precondition. Watch!
GM OnStar can disable your car on your request. It is considered another benefit when people are looking at competing products.

Some middle eastern woman are even more fierier than Latinas.
I happen to know two wonderful ladies, one is very nice and acts like a nun, and one that is gorgeous, has fiery temper but going to get her MD.
I prefer the latter.
