I don't care for visual editors either. However, the visual editor is not meant to replace the current raw editing of MediaWiki code, but rather to complement it. Experienced editors can edit raw MediaWiki code, while new, inexperienced editors can get started editing easily with the visual editor.
As a libertarian—a quite radical one, actually—it bothers me that so many people misunderstand this aspect of libertarianism. Libertarianism is a simple ideology, it only deals with when it is just to use physical force. To solve this issue, we have the non-aggression principle. The non-aggression principle asserts that aggression—defined as the initiation of physical force, or the threat thereof, against persons or property—is immoral.
Does ABC aggress against this man by not including him in their debate? No. However, he does not aggress against ABC by complaining about being excluded. Another example: I am opposed to banning narcotics, but I don't want to have anything to do with them. In fact, I strongly oppose recreational drugs, including alcohol, yet I do not wish to aggress against anyone for consuming or producing such things. I wouldn't let people doing such things on to my property, but I wouldn't come on to theirs and beat them up either.
You should be downvoted for the reasons stated below:
1. He said his budget is tight
2. He just bought a new Acer laptop
3. Macs do actually get viruses (though there are significantly less viruses for Mac OS X than for Windows)
Short story shorter: You're a jerk.
I disagree. The reason why Linux Mint is for stupid people is because it *is* Ubuntu, just with different branding and a few packages preinstalled. There is no benefit to using Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu.
You don't have to use Unity just because you use Ubuntu, it doesn't even have to be installed (ever). Just use the alternative CD and Unity won't bug you, and the codecs can be installed easily in Ubuntu. Linux Mint is Ubuntu for people who don't understand how Linux works.
Damnit! I just spent my last mod point on modding something funny. Sorry buddy, no "insightful" for you this time. (not sarcastic, in case you were wondering)

Why would you assume that?
Or even better: 10 Years Ago 4 Microsoft Engineers Predicted that DRM Would Fail
It made me think of Hans Moleman.
Opera is actually a decent browser (though I prefer Firefox), but their fanboys are even more annoying than Chrome fanboys.
So what? You want everyone to have permanent patents on everything they “invent”? Also, this feature isn't quite what you think it is—RTFA.
Newbies deleting whole articles is a quite common problem on Wikipedia. They don't understand any of it, but they mess it up anyway.
They can just as easily mess up the article with the regular editor. At least they can make sense of what is going on with the visual editor.

I hope this clears up the confusion.
There are plenty of better free fonts.
You should not. Being incorrect is bad and should be avoided. If anything, I should thank you for making me aware of my error.
We've already got plenty of good fonts for programming, and this doesn't actually look that good.
Do you mean to imply that the original comment was, in fact, not a serious comment, but a sarcastic one?
I apologize. What I meant was that Macs do get malware (though not necessarily viruses (in practice)).

I clicked the damn sailboat.
Ubuntu is essentially a stabilized Debian unstable.
I disagree. The reason why Linux Mint is for stupid people is because it *is* Ubuntu, just with different branding and a few packages preinstalled. There is no benefit to using Linux Mint instead of Ubuntu.
The real problem is that linux needs Interface designers.
No, Linux needs *fewer* interface designers. Designers caused GNOME Shell and Unity.

I'm quite sure that Intel's drivers are free, too.
To claim that this shows Bitcoins are a Ponzi scheme is like saying that C is a virus because you can write virii using C.
"virii" is not a word. The correct plural of "virus" is simply "viruses".
