Unless you have catastrophic damage where you drop your phone into a running industrial shredder, repair it yourself.
Imagine that: You walk up to a store clerk at an Apple Shop with a plastic bag full of shredded pieces: "Hello, I'd like to claim the warranty of my phone...or at least, I'd like to know how much the repair costs."
Yes, I'm sure hiring those programmers will be a lot less expensive than buying proprietary software. We can just pay them in pizza and beer, right?
You misunderstood the statement: You buy FLOS-software, it gets obsolete/abandoned/broken by something, you hire someone who fixes it (best case). You buy proprietary software, it gets obsolete/abandoned/broken by something...what are you going to do?
Exactly. As every user has read the TOS which they agreed to (*snickers*), they should know that they can't hold Blizzard reliable anyway...additionally, the "Acknowledgments" section sounds a like an interesting butt rape to me...well, not much worse then many other licenses, though.
Why are you using Linux desktop? Windows 7 and MacOS X deliver you a premium experience without having to worry about broken shit like this.
So, I can finally define window rules in Windows 7? Or deactivate those shitty effects? Or make the window borders 1px wide? Or move windows with Alt+LeftMouseButton and Rwsize with Alt+RightMouseButton anywhere on the window? I can have finally multiple desktops? Or a sane window management behavior (windows can draw over their decoration, wtf?)? Can I finally move windows which are not responding?
I think you meant: "Why are you using Gnome3? Windows 7 and MacOS X deliver you a premium experience without having to worry about broken shit like this." That's still arguable, but I'm not arguing about Gnome3...
As far as I know, Apple was always walled of and only started to apply shady tactics lately. Microsoft always applied shady tactics and has become walled of lately. Can't say anything about Oracle, but Apple and Microsoft seem to try to imitate each other.
Packaging, promotion, logistics, processing payments all cost money...
Your forgot the sales staff if it is sold in an Apple store, and otherwise the staff which sells it to other retailers. In most countries, staff is the biggest part which eats your revenue.... And no, I'm not talking about assembling here, but about the people which hand you your change.
That's exactly my point. OP made it sound like it would be a problem with the technology...which it isn't.
Can we please start fining a lack of common sense? So these people at least pay for all the extra costs to society, and evolution can slowly start selecting against them?
No, it isn't. For a lot of people it doesn't. It may work for you and me because we understand the technology, but it doesn't for millions of users who don't.
People who are falling for E-Mail scam would also fall for it they'd receive it via mail, or get a phone call...or if you suddenly stand at their doorstep. Heck, some of them even would fall for it if you talk to them in a public park.
Oh dear...can I live in your world, too? In mine we need to wait until a service closes it's doors to tell if it failed or not...on a more serious note, why do you consider a service with 250M accounts (150M of them active) as failed?

No, it's the other way round, BP announcing that their fuel will only work in Fords.
Yeah...I know...I suck at english (or typing...depends)...I realized my typo an hour later, does that count?

although, how many people does it take to constitute a 'food riot'?
Depends on the quality of the newspaper.
No, I meant the "I know I'm right and you're wrong" not the amount of evidence for evolution (or against it).
Really? Gonna try this out on my machine at work, thanks.
Why on Earth is this even an issue ? ... As I know that I am right and they are wrong.
You answered your own question, they use the same statement.
Program is such a complicated word (so many r's)...let's just call them "Apps"! "App for doing x" ... oh wait...
That exists, it's called Mate. The developers are merging removed stuff back into the Gnome2 desktop.

...why not just take the actual papers instead of making copies?
Not raising suspicion. If stuff vanishes there's a higher probability that it gets noticed too early.
Reading through the claims this woman makes, I can only respond with "Oh really?".
Send them waffles and bacon!
Oh, and always promise them cake, but never give it to them.
Actually, you can omit point 5.

Remembers me of the study which shows that red pills work better then blue ones (both placebo of course).
I see nothing in that list which doesn't exist in the *nix world one way or the other...
What's wrong with option boxes?As someone that uses both the shell and GUI config options, what's wrong with a choice?
If there is a choice, that is.

There's a difference between "Telling a woman that she looks good/hot/awesome" and "being a total jerk".
This is why Google+ failed.
