Is there some rule that says no one is allowed to oppose them? Frankly, what do you expect? People who act like assholes engender enemies. It's a basic fact of life.
It's not like these people are universally lionized heroes or anything.
Yeah I'm with you man Valve OWES me that content I'm entitled to what I want for free because I want it and just because these greedy fucks want to make money doesn't mean they deserve it but they should still be forced to invest massive sums of money to entertain me anyway just don't reward them cause I WANT WHAT I WANT FUCK YEAH!
Probably because that isn't one of the functions the government is allowed to do, absent a ridiculously broad interpretation of the words "general welfare."
By the way, you know how you can tell they didn't intend that to mean "the government is mommy and daddy to everyone" by those words? Because they didn't do that themselves.
You should realize you've not supported your opinion at all, you're just bashing.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying you haven't given any reasons that you're right - which means your post is content free. You got called on it, and went directly back to unsupported bashing. Not exactly a compelling argument.
While I'm certain you're the most productive and intelligent genius to ever walk the earth, there are actually 7 billion other people and we don't all work like you, so maybe denigrating our tools and workflows because they aren't what you prefer is... you know... arrogant and dickish?
People own businesses and people own the government. I'm not sure why this overlap engenders surprise and outrage, although I'm well aware of the Slashdot tendency to try to dehumanize businesspeople.
If you're anything above the awful level it's pretty easy to get a job
That's as much as needs to be said. There's a disturbing trend amongst Americans who want to not have to compete. I blame all that self-esteem building we went through as a society.
As soon as they started giving out trophies for participating, the end times were written.

Yes I am a Slashdotter who admits when they are wrong
You're young, you're sure to get over that.
I'm not on it, and it's not even your lawn anyway.
Was this that "funny" kind of insightful or were my peals of laughter not really your intention?
While you are certainly within your right to hold that opinion, people who wish to stop them from existing are also just as right.
Basically, anonymous can't win. All they can do is shit in the well and ruin the water for everyone. Not exactly... inspiring.

Yeah, no one likes playing with you because you're awesome... that's it exactly. It must be.

I've never in my life maximized a window and I find working on fewer than three monitors to be unbearable.
On the other hand, I'll never have the problem from the article because I supply my own equipment.
Oh come on, an insult can totally be informative as well as insulting. The concepts are completely orthogonal.
You just seem to think you're owed respect, but in reality, you aren't owed anything.
Conservative is synonymous with ``What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine!''
Liberal just seems to get rid of the first part.
People own businesses and people own the government. I'm not sure why this overlap engenders surprise and outrage, although I'm well aware of the Slashdot tendency to try to dehumanize businesspeople.
I can't tell if you're serious or a parody account.
Reminds me of religious fundamentalism... your position is so blindingly stupid that it's hard to tell if you're really clever or a true believer.
Shit happens in a world with 7 billion people. Thinking you're smart enough to somehow plan around that simple fact is hubris in its purest form.
Sorry, bullshit. Just because you don't like the long term strategy doesn't mean there isn't one.
The "business acumen" on this site is frankly astounding for its absence.
You aren't "forced" to do anything you "wish" to do. Kinda by definition.
Which of those activities has anyone ever been forced to do?
You know, not having the courage of your convictions doesn't exactly stand you up as deserving of anything.

Which comes off with a different tone than I intended, sorry. Drank a bit.
What, do you think I'm a teenager or something? I've entering my fourth decade of programming.
In a very real way, you can consider knowing everything the article talks about as the sort of minimum to even bother coming to Slashdot.
You're aware that is flood protection, right?
