yeah, but lets be fair here, MS earned their reputation.
If they just made crappy products, I don't think anyone would care. In fact they'd probably be ignored.
The fact they've been attempting legal, and even social harrassment against linux and the linux community for the past 20 years has most of us up in arms.
So yes, most of us get off watching them go down in flames.
How long will I carry this grudge? mabey until Balmer Resigns. Before he was CEO, he was a long running veep, and was probably the biggest whiner about Free Software.
MS stops harrassing the linux community, to include the corporations that develop it commericially. Ballmer retires.
the actual US military issue magazines are fucking terrible, and cause a weapons jam if you load more than 28 rounds in a 30 round mag.
For all the service members still in, if defense distributed could start making reliable working functioning products not by the lowest bidder, and somehow get them to the troops, it'd be a life saver.
just like miltec would give free militec-1 dry weapon lube to servicemembers http://www.militec1.com/
While I certainly find NK despicable, I don't like how they are using copyrights, trying to make them seem more acceptable to us, by showing how they can attack someone we all don't like
no, this is re-implenting technologies natively that where previously used with the flash sub-platform.
Instead of shitty, subversive, closed binaries, its just an open standard with two projects writing two compatible codebases.(redundancy means less failure), both of which are open.
this is a solution for horribly implemented technology at current.
linux was not suitable for desktop use until kernel 2.6 era, when all the baked in drivers started appearing, and we started seeing open source factory support for things like wifi, and even then it wasn't until around ~2.6.30 that things started getting good enough to work universally on most computers around the board.
the nvidia 310.xx and later drivers are fast, stable, and solid. they used to not be, and nouveau is now feature complete for rendering. it used to not be.
Windows 95, 98, and ME where all inherently unstable, windows NT builds like 2000 where rock solid, and many people used them instead of the consumer focused products for this reason. unfortunately, 2000 still had a Hardware Accssability List, that prevented many third party drivers, and wasn't constructed for graphics intensive consumer desktop usage.
XP was the first Windows OS, that by design, didn't suck misrably, and it wasn't until service pack 2, in 2004, that it wasn't slow, buggy, or an otherwise total pile of garbage. Ironicly, this is around the same time that linux gets usable as a mainstream desktop OS.
Windows has its glitches and so does linux, but it seems with windows, they are all total OS problems, and with linux its generally high level interface problems. Vista crashed and burned, but 7 seems to be as rock solid as XP SP2, with modernizations, and newer hardware support.
Windows 8 on the other hand seems to be a trainwreck, with a crappy UI that no one likes, but we seem to have the same problem in the linux/FOSS world with GNOME. fortunately, there are other UIs than GNOME.
I guess you could run KDE on windows 8, and save yourself a fuckton of headaches.
The reason there is the GPL and other copyleft is to prevent abuses by large entities that don't like to share code. The problem is there are a whole mess of copylefts, some are not compatible with eachother, and prevent code merging.
There is always BSD, MIT, and even further, public domain.
The worst option of all is using no license at all, because it adds a great deal of ambiguity to the terms, and people in other semi-large projects, and institutions that re-use your code, might open themselves up for abuse, or even might balk at using code of which there is no guidelines.
Its really not hard to put a comment that says "I Hereby Release This Public Domain", and completely fuffils the intent, while removing any ambiguity.
On top of "hacking" this guy comitted blackmail, and what could be considered sexual assault.
I'm OK if this guy doesn't do time for hacking.
I would really like to see this guy do hard time for sexual harrassment, blackmail, and the other related crimes that have little to do with the technical aspects of computer hacking.
I'm also disgusted you'd even compare what this guy did to what aaron swartz did.
a companion to SLES is SLED, the SuSe Desktop https://www.suse.com/products/desktop/features/interop.html

Both the CPU archectures,(x86), and the code bases (GNU/Linux + their brand of corporate funk), have been proven time and time again, on every playing field, and they've been sold by both companies.
I think people should stop listening to spike lee.
Some people like to stir up controversey to make themselves feel important, powerful, or grant themselves the ability to censor other people's works on subjective nature.
Which of course, could easily be avoided if you hired them as "consultants", and what is acceptble next time.

virtualbox is great because it runs well ontop of other modern opperating systems without real virtualization, in shear emulation.
Dosbox, a complete dos machine emulator that utilizes FreeDOS, is available on many platforms to include windows, android, and GNU/Linux.
it makes DOS era programs accessable for the modern computing era.
this. I am all for a free market, at least for most industries
but stocks, and financial services need to be either heavily regulated or abolished

its an inherent fear that someone somewhere might share something with someone else, somewhere else and not pay apple.

there are more GNU and GNU related projects in OS X than neXt remnants.
remember that every time you connect with networkmanager, type something in on bash on the command line, etc...
after they pissed off most of their fanbase, and app developers, they are looking for new ones.
what is a better compiled language though?
specificly for linux or any other *NIX and UNIX variant./
can't beat 'em, join 'em
said the same thing aboue apple with OS X
except MS's terms are ironicly far more reasonable
more like they want their first experiance with computer programing to be MS, and MS only propaganda before they get into open source.
prior to 2000, we had kernel 2.2 which was not prime time ready.
now we have kernel 3 which is more than capable than windows.
but not to lazy to write a slashdot article.

its also far diffrent to steal one truckload once
and continously steal oranges until you've aquired a truckload.

stuff that wasn't broken on purpose.
linux doesn't do this.
microsoft does this on purpose to make you buy more shit you don't need, and use things you don't want.
itt someone found a good use for windows 8 phones
everyone played oregon trail as a kid.
version 1.x for the apple IIe/Dos and ver 2 for the mac
both companies have experiance selling linux on the server side,

Why do you need windows again?
not if you need to have your code signed by MS to let it run on RT, without hacking it, which there is a hack.
so they can censor and pull your apps like apple does?
MS is desperate cause no one gives a shit about their product. Same with nokia and there free case designs.
agreed.
So why did swat teams descend on Kim Dotcom's house, and why did the federal government take down the site with all our phone modding ROMs
