Unless you provide names - we can't hep you. But anyone who downloads free software and expects technical support at no cost shouldn't be running a business. Next time he call ask him to come round and fix your washing machine for free.
> I think you've just described how 80% of the people who call themselves libertarians on slashdot see themselves. Thankfully they are too timid to put their deluded "tough talking" into practice.
Don't assume to speak for slashdot and don't assume that slashsdotter equates to libertarianism. In my opinion libertarianism presents a false argument, eg freedom versus big government. When in actual fact the danger originates in a form of corporate-feudal-corporatism. What these authoritarians types don't seem to realize is that WE are the government - they work for US.

No, as while few in number, the professional psychopath is too good at masking his true nature. Can usually be found hiding out in one of the professions. as psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse, prison guard, policeman or cub scout leader. Can only be detected by the inexplicable amount of mishaps that occurs to those in their immediate vicinity.

Might also explain his obstanance regarding the cosmological constant which he didn't abandon until observing red shif. Might not. I'm uncertain...
The equations only worked for an expanding universe, as the prevailing wisdom at that time that the universe was static, Einstein inserted a 'cosmological constant'. Later on he said this was the biggest blunder of his career.
The complexity and convolutions could we explained by the kind of unique mental excercises Einstein engaged in to arrive at his theories. The mental processes altered brain physiology, rather then the other way round.
"Do you think that Microsoft now is more innovative than Apple"
That's what's known as a leading question, where you drive the discussion where you want it to go. In this case they have Wozniak saying Microsoft and Innovation in the same sentence. There's isn't a department at Apple dedicated to dissecting the other fellas stuff in order to invent their own "innovation"..
If 'Oracle Linux' is a whole independent distro, then why does Oracle have to clone RHEL update service?
"The Ksplice team has made available a git repository"
The Ksplice team have stolen Red Hats kernal patches.
"This comes in response to a policy change Red Hat had implemented in early 2011, with the goal of undercutting Oracle and other vendors' strategy of poaching Red Hat's customers".
What other vendors are attempting to poach Red Hat customers?
"When it comes to APT, the de facto perpetrator is China.. some examples of advanced and persistent threats, including Stuxnet, Operation Aurora, the RBN and more".
Stuxnet: US/Israeli malware
Operation Aurora only worked because the US government put a backdor in gmail and RBN wouldn't be in business if it wasn't for Windows.

What's the name of the open source company, what are the names of these free-loading companies and what social media do they post on?

Microsoft has also banned any GNU GPLv3 licences for these binaries.

"The rootkit is designed specifically for 64-bit Linux systems .. The new Linux rootkit is loaded into memory and once there"
How does this 'rootkit' get executed on the target machine, does it require prior root access in order to sucessfully execute?
Except, if you are at the end of a corporate proxy, your encrypted session can be easily eavesdropped on .. link

> WebKit is doing exactly what Microsoft accuses it of. They are developing their own extensions and putting them out as webkit- prefixed.
How can a WebKit extension be non-standard, it's a WebKit extension. Why is it that WebKit works on everything except Microsoft Web Browser.

It was a total success then, as these projects are designed to spend money, not actually produce any usable results ...
