You start out by mentioning two completely non-analogous expenses, and then conclude with saying you got your copy for 15% of his price? And this is supposed to convince him that 135 pounds is a reasonable cost?!
In one encounter within the urban area a Challenger 2 came under attack from irregular forces with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. The driver's sight was damaged and while attempting to back away under the commander's directions, the other sights were damaged and the tank threw its tracks entering a ditch. It was hit directly by fourteen rocket propelled grenades from close range and a MILAN anti-tank missile.[15] The crew survived remaining safe within the tank until the tank was recovered for repairs, the worst damage being to the sighting system. It was back in operation six hours later after repairs. One Challenger 2 operating near Basra survived being hit by 70 RPGs in another incident.
Is he actually a volunteer? I thought he was a Red Hat employee.
Benevolent Dictator For Life, yes. After a certain point, the health of the product overrules the feelings of a programmer who is perpetually breaking the build.
Personally, the more of these articles attacking his dealing with a situation in a way which seems reasonable to me from a programming project perspective appear, the more faith I have in his leadership.
I was about to post that latter bit, then wondered if he wasn't refering to slashdot.jp or that one Spanish-language one...which as far as I'm aware are both still operating.
Sometimes the only way to get through to somebody is to publicly yell at them. If I've talked to you civilly in private a dozen times and you pull the same shit a 13th time, I would lose it, too.

What do you think is wrong with it? I'd take out the comma, but I'm not convinced that's necessary.

Bit rot
In other news, we can check everything quickly by not checking everything!
Conversely, just because no vulnerabilities have been found is not necessarily a good reason to assume a given piece of software is full of them.

Damn...
I would rather that they take it straight to the Supreme Court and settle the issue rather than dragging it out for another 4 years through appeals.
That way, I know right away whether anyone on the Supreme Court actually gives a shit about the Constitution.

Auto-brake. I sure hope my car doesn't have the ability to automatically break itself.

35+ years (including your projected 20)
2014 - 1991 = 23 (let's not call it "good" for the first five years, so say 18)
22 + 20 = 38

But hey, a hater has to hate, eh?
And this was such a reasonable and informative conversation until you had to go and say that...

Hmm.
I'd say that being as good as it has for 35+ years (including your projected 20) excludes it from being called "failed" at all.

Ignoring someone's repeated attempts to unfuck something is a kind of response in its own way.
