No, they claimed less market control and lock-in which are too separate issues. I was only responding to the former claim. Also the claim above of there being less issues woth monopolies is absurd when state-owned China Mobile has 70% of the market. That's far closer to monopoly than any wireless carrier in the US.
They are, however, less screwed up with things like market control and lock-in, as you suggest.
Ignoring that China Mobile is state-owned, owns the vast majority of the market and the Chinese government both gives it protectionist benefits and frequently interferes in its affairs?
China a smaller and less competitive market? You're joking, right? China Mobile alone has more than double the amount of subscribers than there are US citizens.

No that's not what I said. I said "don't download it". If you don't bu, but then subsequently pirate it they will always be able to use piracy as a scapegoat.
Well, yes, that's because they can point to the 10,000+ active peers on a torrent for their good. You whine abouy DRM then pirate it then wonder why they blame piracy. It's the perfect scapegoat. If the people against DRM would stop downloading the goods they'd have no way to blame piracy.
Yes, Intel sells CPUs with GPUs integrated. That doesn't change the fact that their core business is selling CPUs not GPUs. Or please link to where I can buy a discrete GPU from Intel. Nvidia's core business, on the other hand, is their GPUs.

How so?
Markets outside of the US are much less screwed up with monopolies and such.
Another absurd claim. China Mobile has 70% market share. That's more market share than Verizon and AT&T combined have in the US.

Wrong. China surpassed the US in May of last year as the largest smartphone market. Want to try again?

Less market control in China? That's a good joke.

We had "SMS" fifteen years ago with bidirectional alphanumeric pagers and TAP.
The SMS specification was completed in 1990 and the first commercial implementation came out in 1993 which is 5 years before your "fifteen years ago".
If you're BAC was 1.5 or 1.3 you'd be dead.
Hate to break it to you but you're wrong.

No it doesn't. The First sale doctrine is a limit on the rights the owner of a copyright or trademark not patents.
Or he was making a joke...
Nah, that couldn't have been it.
I seriously doubt they do.
That's the joke.
Perhaps users are heeding Stallman's warning on Chromebooks.
You're joking, right? Please tell me this wasn't actually a serious statement...
It means the submitter and Unknown Lamer fail at arithmetic.
Marvel's stories deal with darker, more complex, and more adult issues. These are issues that Disney is not accustomed to working with.
Miramax was part of Disney for 17 years. You have heard of them, right?
January 2013 was last year? Are you posting from the future?
There sure are a lot of people on this forum defending the "senior guy" and his poor work habits.
And you know for certain the senior guy actually has lazy habits, how, exactly? All we have is a post claiming this and nothing more.

Intel has no problem because their business isn't selling GPUs.
And to add the phrase "for NVidia" doesn't even appear in the summary. You invented that quote out of whole cloth.
You're the troll. The headline says:
AMD's Open Source Linux Driver Trounces NVIDIA's
This is elementary school level reading comrephension you failed at. There is no "for" in it at all.
NVIDIA doesn't have an open source graphics driver... Nice misleading title there, timmy.
With Windows I was stuck using what Microsoft thought I wanted to use and no option to change it.
Wrong. You could have just gotten one of numerous alternate shells.
