I've worked at a place where someone thought it was a great idea to mass-add a specific entry everyones authorized_keys, "because then $x would just work". No need to tell everyone of course.
It's not enoguh that you know how to manage your keys. The rest of the organization has to know what's OK and not.
Sure and that's why I said that they are not the desktop for everyone. I don't know much about Unity, but at least GNOME 3 will (when it's ready) be a good desktop for most users. I have seen a ton of people that previously would never touch Linux try GNOME 3 and say that this is the point where they could actually consider it as an alternative to Windows or OS X.
Now the bad thing that the GNOME developers really dropped the ball on was that GNOME 3 is not a good fit for those of us that have used Linux for many years now. We want t keep using GNOME 2, or whatever else we are using. For example we have a lot of users still on fvwm. So it would have been so much better if GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 had continued to live side by side. The fact that we have to rename a lot of things in Mate just to avoid name collisions is just ridiculous.
I think that once GNOME 3 and maybe also Unity (I haven't looked too much at it) has been more fine tuned that users will actually like them more than the older GNOME 2 desktop. It's however unfortunate that GNOME 2 has been discontinued since while GNOME 3 is probably the right desktop for most users it's not the right desktop for all users. Sure Mate exists but the whole thing could have been handled so much more smoothly.
The public domain gives developers the freedom to restrict others' freedom. Licenses like the GPL guarantee the freedom can't be taken away.
And it won't as long as you have your copy. GPL merely restricts the existence of non-free copies. Code can be copied, which means that just because someone uses a copy in a non-free way doesn't mean that your free copy is now somehow also non-free. It doesn't matter if it's GPL or permissive, freedom isn't just magically taken away.
I don't mind corporations preferring non-copyleft, especially since non-copyleft contributions can usually be used within both copyleft and non-copyleft projects. If corporations started to mass-adopt copyleft a lot of non-copyleft projects that used to rely on contributions from such companies would be left out in the cold.
Maybe we have just seen two very different parts of the world, because I have many examples of why the phrase "what your first language is depends on your nationality" is just wrong.
Sure it does. If your nationality is e.g. spanish, chances are rather high that your first language is spanish.
You said it yourself. Chances are rather high. It depends, and rather high is not definitive. And rather high is not that high everywhere, not to mention that people tend to move around a lot. You still can't tell someone's first language based on their nationality. It's impossible. It is two completely separate data points which has nothing to do with each other. They often correlate, but correlation does not imply causation.
The best 2nd language for a programmer is naturally English. What your first language is depends on your nationality.
Not necessarily. Things like nationality or physical location says nothing about first language, second language or even if you know a particular language or not. Those are not connected and you cannot deduce any of them from the other.

Sure, but when you want a specific title choice can be limited.
... for supporting DRM.
Indeed. Sell me the game at a decent price and skip the DRM.
If you want to make them into responsible open source contributors you better start as early as possible.
lol AIX who uses that shit
/me raises hand
It's not modern or "sexy", but it is incredibly stable.
IE 9 defaults to 32 bit due to compatibility concerns with third party plugins.
the jews are now acting worse then nazis all they need do is start a genocide oh wait ..palestinians anyone....
Israel is not just Jews. This story is about the political power in Israel, it has nothing to do with Judaism.
I know several users that uses it on their desktop. It's not a desktop suitable for everyone though.
They should just open source it
Possibly. They open sourced their F# compiler. It's not too uncommon for them.
I see. Maybe it can be pointed to OpenStreetMap.
Since Google is all about open why not just download the source code to the Maps application and build it yourself?

Fix the problem, not the symptom.
How about not trying to be an automatic parent and actually doing some parenting.
But you will need their proprietary driver.
now lets work on making linux work on a desktop/workstation;-)
Works quite well already on my workstation. Any particular areas of interest where it needs improvement in order to work?
It's a combination of a lot of things, including various parts of BSD.
As soon as BSD gets something similar to KVM I'll switch in a second.
It's already on its way. http://bhyve.org/
Perhaps they should ask Apple to fund them. Good luck.
Apple already funds developers working on projects that are contributed to FreeBSD. Just a few examples are LLVM, OpenBSD and Libdispatch.
