Thanks for regurgitating my points and putting your own spin on it. May be that was your intention (not to add anything new but just repaint my post in a different color), but it isn't helpful.
Copyright IS what I'm talking about in the first line or so, it is the attempt to make something intangible and inherently unrestricted to be restricted by artificial means. As I said, effort going into creating isn't something that must be bought. The information afterwards can't in it's purest, original form be restricted. It's just reality, a fact of nature that ideas are intangible and thus not subject to physical restraints such as being finite, well defined, etc.
And those people in the large media organizations have to come to grips with that, they platform on which they have divested their time and money isn't profitable anymore. It was when media was physical and thus the whole information-is-like-corn-heaps thingy (; held up. Now, information is finally what it always was, simply information, and the old methods aren't working anymore.
This isn't really on topic, bit I don't care about half of the ZOMG TERRRIBLE things you mentioned, such as the next big games, and the next big movies, the next flavor of the week music, etc, etc that mostly suck, so at least I personally don't lose anything.;)
I think this is something that this whole "piracy" deal has taught us. You can't protect information like you could protect a corn stash or precious metals. People have tried to make software like physical objects in that you can only have a limited number of them, you can't copy them, etc, so they are as "scarce" as physical resources, and thus, they have value.
The thing is in reality, information, once it has been created,isn't scarce since it is easily reproducible. IP people need to accept that.
Note I said once it is created. The effort involved in creating isn't free, but the end result can't be assigned value. You can only put as much "price" on it as you put in effort. The idea itself has no intrinsic value.
A few of the applications you mentioned that are supposedly better are "better" simply out of opinion.
MS Visual Studio: you have got to be kidding. I have a great alternative, emacs/vim and a console with standard utilities in a tiling WM. VS being "better" really is a matter of opinion.
WinRAR: a little too easy, there are many archive management tools out there that are at least good enough for me (karch or something, for e.g.)
Adobe Flash Pro: it's like me asking you what are better proprietary text editors that give sed-like functionality. (well, not really, but yeah), you'd normally not use sed on anything but FOSS systems (i guess proprietary unix has something, but I can't compare). Flash is a proprietary platform (and from a users perspective, a shit one that I can't wait to uninstall)
gmail, picasa, and facebook: sites? again, the "technologies behind" the sites are a bit more deep than just compiling something with gcc, it is more likely than not that they use FOSS in operation, such as being run by linux based systems, etc. And that "Chrome itself is not open source" is knit-picking.
So may be some people will fund open source programs but hardware? The pull of proprietary is stronger in the hardware realm it seems and the "open" people there seem closer to the "hobbyist" side.
It's all in a relation to Moore's law: As the computer develops, so are more incompetent developers allowed to run amok without the extensive memory leaks to be noticed to give reason to their immediate firing from development jobs and since they are allowed to continue, they're allowed to further facilitate their despicable memes in "technospeak" because they think it will get them laid.
That's like saying you shouldn't advertise athletes because readers/seers may be from a rival team...the number of people so opposed to care to do physical damage are much less than those who wouldn't.
What I'm hinting at is probably close to what you are. This really is nothing new, only that finally it seems someone is backing the development of an MSR.
I have a friend who claimed to write a program in dd. Not kidding. ed is as far as I'll go and has the added benefit of not clearing the screen while running.
Yeah, I agree. Instead of being upset about the "bunch of bullshit" on websites like large flashy flash ads and the like, I'll just blame the people at lkml for not working better on hardware acceleration. The change of burden there is logical and sensical to most "normal people".

I'd mod you up if I could.
I expected someone who would listen to the people instead of the will of large corps. I was wrong.
I guess I'm kinda falling along the lines for what someone already said, they already are and its obvious...why make a news topic about it?

...so shit gets selected for the front page. Sigh...
Yes, that is abnormal, something is wrong with you.

And an excellent one that it.

I'll remember that name next time the polls come around.

Well, it's all noobish, csa stuff, the thing you can learn from reading the manual after 5 seconds.
They can start with _their_ name.
>> computer networking, operating systems and systems administration
They should call them what they are, skiddies. ;)
Like any true athlete, the joy should be in the sport, not the glory.

Note the stub says they have initiated R&D. Not that they have a plan or design, etc.
Also one of the more annoying things mentioned on that page are their intention to maintain IP over it. Sigh...
"Everybody" is not merely "a lot of people". It implies _all_ people. You seriously misrepresented that reply.
Echo isn't an editor without redirection ;)

Looking at it, a lot of the init code revolves arounds windows stuff (HINSTANCE, for example), it looks difficult, somewhat.
And then, there are the damn tabs. Why does a "professional" IDE still use tabs for indentation?
Although the climb from 19.6 to 26 is impressive.
