about it to host a blog criticizing it, you will have already deployed a level of skill and effort that could improve the software itself.
Once again, you are assuming that the ability to start a blog equates to having the skills and learned knowledge required to write code. That is a false assumption.
Also, the first sentence of your response applies more to your initial post than to my post.
It seems many Linux supporters believe that only those who can fix an issue or make a change to the code should be allowed to criticize Linux. This, of course, leaves out everyone who is not a programmer including not only most everyone who gets Linux installed at a Linux Install Day event, but also system administrators and other technical professionals.
FLOSS zealot: "Use FLOSS, it's free and can do anything you want it to do! And, you can get anything changed because you have access to the source code." FLOSS zealot: (five minutes later) "We don't care what you want changed, we like it as is and we aren't going to change it. Go get someone else to change it." Other Programmer: "Yeah, I will make that change for you. It will only cost you $100/per hour."
Then, I guess Linux advocates should stop with the Linux Install Days, which are nothing more than attempts to get people who can not "roll up their sleeves and fix things" to use Linux.
And, that is why Linux is not read for the desktop.
If "Linux is linux", then one should be able to install software from Red Hat on SuSE or Ubuntu with no effort and without having to edit anything at all. Otherwise, any and all Linux distro are not the same, or to put it more succinctly, "Linux is NOT linx all the time".
If I recall correctly, the last few times the FBI investigated voter fraud and political corruption, they were accused of political bias by political groups.
What other "seriously criminal acts" are you referring to and how do you know they are not being investigated but just not reported on?
Are you saying that only those who can contribute to Linux should be allowed to criticize Linux?
Are you saying only developers can criticize Linux?
Are you saying end-users (you know, those people who are the targets of the Linux Install Days, those people who so many Linux advocates want to adopt Linux) are not in a position to criticize Linux? Why not, if they are the one's using the software at the Linux community's invitation?
Please explain why you are in a position to contribute to Linux if you are in a position to criticize Linux.
So, because he is an end-user, you know the target audience of all those Linux Install Days, and not a programmer and not much of a geek, he has no right to criticize Linux and his implying that Linux needs criticism and that the Linux community needs to listen to that criticism is a rant.
And, because you label it a rant, you don't have to pay attention to his criticism.
You do understand you are proving his point, right?
Linux Fanboy: Linux is great, it does anything you need it to do! Joe User: I installed Linux and now my WiFi card doesn't work. LF: Must be a Broadcomm card. It is their fault, not Linux. JU: And, my TV tuner card doesn't work. LF: That is the fault of the TV tuner card maker. JU: And, it doesn't run Photoshop. LF: Just use GIMP. JU: I don't know how to use GIMP, and from what I can see it is not as good as Photoshop. LF: Yes it is! But, you can also use WINE to run Photoshop. JU: And, Linux doesn't run Quicken. I checked out GNUCash but that just sucked for my purposes. LF: It does not suck, you tool! And, you can use WINE to run Quicken. JU: And, it doesn't run the games I and/or my kids want to play. LF: Use WINE, Duh! JU: What is this WINE you keep talking about? LF: It lets you run Windows programs on Linux. RTFM noob. JU: What manual? I downloaded Linux, so it didn't come with a paper manual and if you don't know what you are looking for, the on-line manuals aren't very helpful. LF: Umm... JU: If Linux is so great and does everything I need it to, why is something like WINE even necessary. LF: Because of tools like you! You are just a shill for Micro$oft! Linux is great so just shut your hole!
When I had SprintPCS, I also had the unlimited "Vision" plan which allowed for unlimited internet access from the phone. I could tether and surf all I wanted for an extra $10.00 per month.
Vinyl flooring is generally the cheapest flooring available, so it would be more prevalent in low income house holds. Smoking is more common in low income households. Family economic problems should be more common in low income households. Sounds like low income is a common factor in the above.
On the whole, without knowing how the data was collected, how the families were selected, and whether any participants were removed from the study, there is no way to actually validate the study.
I find this telling:
several scientists who did not participate in the study cautioned that it has too many limitations to draw conclusions,
I also question this part of the article:
Rates of autism in California have increased seven-fold since 1990, a recent study found.
Has there been an increase in the rate of autism or the rate of diagnosis. Starting in the mid 1980s there has been an increase in the awareness of autism, an increase in the education of medical personal in the symptoms of autism and a corresponding increase in diagnosis. One would have to study the records of people classified as mentally deficient or ill in childhood since about 1970 or so to determine how many would now be diagnosed as autistic. Then, and only then, one could claim an actual increase in autism.
This is not about playing music for horses. Rather, it is about her playing music that her employees can here. The latter is enough for ridicule, but lying in the headline undermines any argument made by the article.
Sorry, buddy, but random crashes on a Vista machine are not a feature and is probably a hardware issue. I have been running Vista on my laptop for almost a year and haven't had a single BSOD. I have had the video driver crash, but Vista recovers from it beautifully.
Now, take your sorry, lying, fanboy ass and go play KAtomic or something.
You are wrong. Maybe you shouldn't get your science from your preacher there, dumbass.
The Theory of Evolution makes predictions about the kinds of fossils that should be found, and guess what, we keep finding them. It has been tested and proven itself quite well.

In other words, your greed and selfishness override your morals and ethics.

That is insulting Linux, not criticizing Linux. There is no pay for that, because you enjoy it too much.

Things usually go like this:
There fixed that for you.

Maybe you should go back and read the first stories on this issue.

As NASA does not name things after living people, does that mean we get to kill him to allow him to qualify?
NASA does not name things after living people.
In order to qualify, that asshole needs to be dead. And, he needs killing.
Try reading the fucking article.
1) The article is about laptops, not desktops.
2) How does being 2" tall make something mid-range
3) HP TouchSmart
Thanks for playing.
Unfortunately, Apple's mid-range systems are often priced significantly higher than comparable Wintel systems.
There is no "right to be anonymous".
