Given that Microsoft is U.S. based, most likely all countries which have an embargo on them, like Kuba...and if you find a Patent Troll which has a Patent on the Market-thingy, the U.S., too.;)
...are being conditioned by mass media and government...
Excuse me, but what Government? The last time I checked government was all "It's cool, we can do that, we'll figure something out" and mass media was all "END OF WORLD: You all gonna die tomorrow!" and government was still "Naaahhh...we'll figure something out, we're talking right now as a matter of fact...". At least that's the impression I got in the last time. Politicians who scare people do no get voted...but newspapers which scare people get bought.
Just to clarify....I wanted to say that it is possible to ignore it...but that's my workflow...at home I use a custom X-Session with Sawfish...so my workflow might be a little different from the MS target group.
J. J. Abrams made a Star Trek movie? No, no he did not! You can't tell me he did! There are only 9 Star Trek movies! DO YOU HEAR ME! ONLY NINE!... well, depending on how involved you're into Star Trek...maybe even less then 7, though...
It doesn't exist because that would mean the it would be easily copyable...and we don't the other kids playing in our sandbox, do we?
On a more serious note, the problem in this case is the market. Why should I spend much money on inventing something, just to give it to everyone basically free of charge. Sure, that is how FLOSS works, but that is only *very* slowly adopted around the rest of the world.
Maybe I have been lucky, but *all* of my hardware was always working out of the box...well, except that Nexoc S621II, that touchscreen was wrongly configured, but that was fixed in the next kernel release.
No no no no...they just want to stick with Windows because of the "I know how this works and I don't want to learn something new!" attitude (which will be utter bullshit after 8 anyway). That's a difference.
Is there really proof that it was the U.S.? I mean besides that awesome author who has 7 sources which want to stay hidden and that "Of course it was the U.S.!" attitude...
Does more sound like collateral damage (not that that's an excuse, but it does not sound like he was the target in any way):
Abdul-Rahman al-Awlaki was killed at the age of 16 in an American drone strike on Friday, October 14, 2011, in Yemen, along with alleged al-Qaeda members.[243] Nine other people were killed in the same CIA-led attack.

Cool, you can now patent Regular Expressions? I need to get that one to detect words in E-Mails to that Patent Office ASAP.
CLI is for doing one thing...
screen and tmux come to mind.
Yeah, that's called Freeware (with the option to buy the source code)...different model, your point is?

I never wished so hard that I had ModPoints and could spend them all on one post.

At work (Linux at home) I seldom use the Start-Button...for the simple reason that I have the most used applications in a shortcutbar and Launchy.
Freedom of speech includes the freedom to lie.
Yes, you're free to do so...you're not free to do it without consequences in certain circumstances, though.
Well, yes...that can happen.

That will REALLY get her involved.
With the guy at the next table?
...the right response is to inform the website owners.
Well, they did.

Yes it is...many implementations are containing a positive and a negative zero.

The problem is, people do not want choice. People want something ready and done and are blindly paying the prices (whatever that may be).
...and most consumers won't want linux...
No no no no...they just want to stick with Windows because of the "I know how this works and I don't want to learn something new!" attitude (which will be utter bullshit after 8 anyway). That's a difference.
The architecture (if needed or required or a nice-have), a PlayStation 2 + 3 and a system well capable of playing Blu-Ray movies.

Not really, they're still there, they just moved a little bit into the background...you know, more for technical people and stuff.

And that (accident, 1986) is related to space flight how...?
Well, now I know what to think of Cimmino...
Wait until you've used it.
No, no snarky undertone...I didn't use it (never will), but wait until you've actually used software before thanking the developers.
