On the other hand, I don't condone it, and if it became subsidized by government money (at some point in the future), then I would then be forced to have an opinion on it because then I become responsible for paying for it.
So you'd rather pay more for keeping them alive out of Medicare rather than the much cheaper option of letting them choose to end their life? In the end, they are going to end their life whether you condone it or not.
and many smaller Free Software companies have found it comparatively hard to get public sector buyers for their products and services.
Maybe because some of them have a terrible product and services? Just because your a FOSS company doesn't mean your owed the business of the government. Not everything is a "M$" conspiracy.
Except Microsoft has had software running on ARM since their 1997 release of Windows CE 2.0. They have also been working together with ARM since for those last 15 years as well. Don't let the facts get in your way, though.
For a long time, OSX was full of vulnerabilities until they started to get enough market share to become a good target. Then the flaws started getting detected and patched.
You mean programs like Java and Flash were full of vulnerabilities. Also, people manually installing trojans on their system is not an OS vulnerability. Care to share these "vulnerabilities" that weren't in third-party software or malware that users were installing themselves? Please post any examples of drive-by malware downloads, etc. that were actually OS flaws.
I'm just not following - how does that work? I know why people are opposed to GPL, but I'm just not getting why he is?
The issue was that there were drivers that were dual-licensed BSD and GPL. The Linux people were taking this code, modifying it but only releasing it back as GPL (which was allowed by the copyright holder who had dual-licensed it). In a more general case, you can take BSD-licensed code and use it within a work that is ultimately GPLed and make all your additions to that code GPL, too. This means that the Linux/GPL side can freely use the work of the BSD people all they want, but the reverse is not true as you can not take GPL code and release it as BSD.

There's a Windows store in XP, Vista or 7? Since when? Also, how do I get to the Google Store without a browser on a non-Android device? Also, how is having to go to a vendor app store better than just giving a browser by default? Answer: it's not.
So average users are dumb yet can use iTunes better than the supposedly smart nerds who claim it's too hard to use? And that's an insult against the average user? LOL.
but now users are looking closer at Apple devices, and asking why they are paying more...for less, and itunes is part of the problem.
So that's why Apple sold more iPhone 5s in the first weekend, 5 million, than almost any single Android phone model does over the entire life of being sold? Yeah, Apple is clearly doomed. Keep telling yourself that.

No, they just missed modernizing their mobile platform. They've been doing mobile on ARM for 15 years.
The benefit is the fact that all that x86 software will still be relevant despite what you claim.

How many critical OS X flaws needing patches?
I don't know. You tell me.
Yes, let me just go to that URL without a browser...

So people are just "Using the browser wrong", eh?
But if they are able to use iTunes without problems yet the "smart" nerds can't that doesn't speak well for the supposed smarts of the berds.

What do Android app downloads or the issues over e-book pricing have to do with iTunes music sales? Non-sequitur much?

Because Google Play allows me to buy DRM-free movies and shows?
Sounds like he's a great fit as a Mozilla developer or evangelist.
Sure, if timothy and the other "editors" didn't dupe shit all the time. If it was purely an isolated incident you'd have a point, not you don't.
Sure if you use no addons and have 1 tab open. But how realistic is that usage pattern?
They usually dupe by posting someone else's submission. This is one of the few times that another editor has reposted the same submission.
So he's nothing but a Mechanical Turk?
Actually this is the SAME submission that was posted yesterday.
Aight, bitch, show me the linux botnets.
Ok. Happy?
But...but...the Oatmeal guy said it so it must be true!!!
Yeah because he used some different form of physics not available in our time, right?
