This isn't informative, this is IRRATIONAL SHIT. If it's closed source, an open source implementation will take longer to achieve good success, especially if documentation sucks ass. Now go play with your flash crap, as I've turned mine off for a long time now.
Meh, my friend was really just shopping when, out of nowhere, a little kid comes by and says that. It is obvious that his mind is still being constructed, but this demonstrates that his values contain the information related to "talk to people nicely, even if they are strangers". And this happened to other people from my country as well, they all got that feeling that the Americans were so kind and open to conversation.
Americans have the expectation of privacy in some issues. In others they have an interesting culture. It is common for Americans to talk to strangers as if they were family, because it is in their culture. I am not talking trash about them, I admire this type of culture. A friend of mine went to America and she said there was always someone talking to her -- she even had a little child come to her and say "Will you believe how this cheese is expensive".
That kind of thing is considered rude for us in here, because it violates our privacy. So you see, in crucial issues like these, Americans have an "expectation of privacy", but with the Western European definition of privacy, they only expect it when it is good for them. I do enjoy that they can be such an open-minded people in this type of thing...but I am sad they are so close-minded with respect to other issues...
I, however, am against most of the companies that support and force others to endorse C# and its evil friends. Call me fundamentalist -- it's what I call myself -- but Human Rights apologists were also called fundamentalists when it all started.
I was thirteen when I learned how to program. I jumped right into C++ and never looked back. Only later did I dive deeper in the machine with Assembly. Learning Assembly was on par with learning C itself. For me, "C itself" are the lower-level components that C++ programmers can easily avoid. These days I pick C++ when I can, but I do just fine with C. I only miss templates and operator/function overloading, because I can create most of the rest given some time (even polymorphism can be done to a certain degree). C has the advantage of avoiding implicit constructors and destructors.
Sometimes, though, it's just simpler to go with Python, Ruby or (death coming) Perl. But I think that *real* projects use either C or C++. I do not go deep into C# and all other shitty C-ish things. They may be conquering the market, but I curse the fucktards who started using it and promoting it.
The Meaning Of Life, for me, is nothing more than that of Learning and acquiring as much knowledge as I can. I feel fulfilled when I learn something new and investigate on it. I don't know how other people live just to kick balls or go to nightclubs, as I trully want to study forever and know about everything.
What else is there for me to do? I do not believe in any god, and I want to live my life at full -- that implies taking the best decisions I can and that, in itself, implies knowing the most I can as well. Who can live without the constant pleasure of learning and knowledge? Not silly things such as general knowledge (i.e.: When did xx war occur?), no, no that. I am talking about logical and rational knowledge, that instantly triggers your brain to start singing like it's never going to end. It's an incredible thrill.
Good, if nobody talks about the company of the shitty OS (aka Microsoft), then maybe the competition can have a chance at EXISTING. Once that's done, we can cleat the minds of the poor users who have been living trapped in the claw of suckness.
It isn't quite the same. My father has hardware perfectly built for Windows 7, but he just doesn't like it. He says he's ok with what he has, so why change it? He doesn't do very risky things on the internet, and he certainly doesn't need to upgrade, as XP has served him great.
Same thing applies for GNU/Linux. I run Ubuntu in many of my computers, but one of them is still running the old Ubuntu 8.04, while others are already with the newest 10.10. Besides, why pay Microsoft more money when they fuck up in either OS?
I have Ubuntu installed on 8 machines and agree. It solves all my problems and...whenever I mess it up, which I sometimes do, the huge community or the ease of use helps me repair it. I once even deleted the entire MBR + parts of the partition table and then managed to restore it before I rebooted.
Yes, you are right. Though it is seriously more likely that somebody "disagreed" with my point of view. I've seen comments modded +5 insightful and riddled with spelling mistakes. I have also seen comments without any mod riddled with spelling mistakes. Usually, when that is the case, someone just lets it pass. Of course, one specific moderator could've done that, and I did say something that wasn't necessarily true.

Windows: "So superior, you're always an Anonymous Coward!"
All your hopes of first post are belong to me!

Exactly, I agree about the abstract nature of Object oriented languages. In fact: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/c-programming/130159-why-so-many-typedefs-same-thing.html#post971331

Yes, I am terrible.
Ha, Ha, Ha.
Now, shall we take this outside? Oh wait, this is slashdot, nobody cares.

Windows really *is* a virus!
Ah!
And there are 6 digits in 101010!
Wohoo! This proves how the world is all Determined by the Lord in all its greatness.
Or that no such lord exists. I'd rather stick to that one.

I look into this issue in this blogpost: http://jorl17.blogspot.com/2010/07/algumas-reflexoes-interessantes.html (It's in Portuguese, though).

Really makes us Microsoft Haters feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
Ha Ha Ha
Oh, we can go on for days.
No, [irrelevant or sourceless argument X], go bash [fundamentalist software choice] somewhere else.
[optional idiot smile]
They didn't limit this issue to Linux -- or Unix, or Windows, for that matter. Stop flamebaiting. -Perhaps- is a very *peculiar* word for that.
No, their rewrite is also subject to to this issue. Go publicize Windows somewhere else.
Because it belongs to Microsoft. Don't you know they're EVIL?
The Purpose is to FUCK US ALL. Nothing else.
Oh, and protect their rights, or something.
It seems that nobody cares about this issue. 1st post.

Ah, sorry, I didn't get that! Also, I didn't know that Opera was the performance leader back in the past. But, oh well, in the past I wasn't born.
