the US defense budget is huge, but that isn't the reason the US economy is ailing.
Of course, it is! When making worthless weapons provides so much revenue from so little work, companies don't make things that actually do something useful, or employ people to do so. How do you think, economic crisis works, through insufficient amount of green paper?
Currency speculation is a human right!!! Everyone is entitled to exploit government-subsidized industries by endlessly converting currency in a way specifically prohibited by the government to support development of a healthy and safe development of economy!
Next, we should defend the right to steal and sell drugs from hospitals' emergency rooms!
I don't agree with that one either. These are all learned skills. Being a liberal arts major at a competitive college is as much of a learning process as becoming a programmer, just in a different specialization.
Congratulations, you are an idiot!
But what do they all have in common? The ability to reason, to remember, and to organize.
When liberal art major is wrong, he is deemed to be a talented artist. When programmer is wrong, stuff burns down and explodes.
Neither China nor US have decent public (or private) primary and secondary education. Why don't you compare your miserable excuse for a school system to something that actually works -- like what was accomplished in USSR (and maybe is still in place in Russia and other ex-USSR countries)?
Let's tack support for research and engineering onto Social Conservative talking points! Then our lords and masters will let us continue doing something useful!
The reality is, educated population is better than uneducated one. Eventually sufficient number of educated people figure out that god does not exist, and force educational system to proclaim just that.
What reveals a very uncomfortable for supporters of "freedom" truth -- all people mostly take their beliefs from whatever happened to be taught, so the goal is not to tell 7 years old kid to "make his own mind", it's to teach something that is actually true. Like, that god does not exist (far greater certainty than "no, we are not in The Matrix", "no, there is no hidden mechanism that makes geocentric system of the world look like what it really is" and "no, you are not an alien princess from Alpha Centauri").
Can't be customized like a real workstation should, HDs/SSDs are still consumer crap, and it comes with OS that I don't care for. This is the result of "workstation" market combined with "consumer desktop". I want to pay for quality, not artistic layout of the case.
I wish, desktop computers were not used by "mainstream", so I would be able to buy an expensive (really, I am perfectly ok with it being expensive) workstation that is something other than a cheap consumer product that contains only cheap consumer components, and is expected to run the greatest engineering failure of the 20th century -- Windows. I would be also overjoyed if people who use computers for business and engineering, did not have consumer crap and Windows shoved down their throats. And if it prompted CAD and EDA software vendors to drop Windows as a supported architecture, and purge their software of all Windows-isms, I would stop recommending to turn Redmond into an art installation that involves river of blood flowing between hills made of crushed bones of Microsoft employees, topped by skulls of Gates and Ballmer.
But the truth is, desktops and their twin brothers laptops, will be popular among consumers for ages and ages to come. So river of blood it is!
There is a lot of issues with drivers and packaging with gaming on Linux. There are several major package managers. The top 2 are RPM and DEB.
And this is not a problem because distribution maintainers made distribution-specific wrappers for generic binary installers for as long as distributions existed.
One easy thing with Windows is. You use one installer and it installs to Windows.
That's a very creative way to say that Windows doesn't have a package manager at all. There is already a ton of commercial software for Linux that has "installer" script that unpacks and copies binaries. This is what is used as the base for wrapper packages that I have mentioned before.
I love Linux.
All Microsoft astroturfers claim that. Go, kill yourself.

Also enemy carrier still far away from the coast is the best and completely legitimate target for nuclear weapons in otherwise non-nuclear war.
But not before someone who will rather kill your ruling party leaders.

depends on the USA for its defense
Hey guys, if you did not notice, you are supposed to "defend" everyone from me, and I am already in US (and have no intention of attacking anyone).
Because!

Proof by reference to [supposed] authority is how you guys operate.
That's because you don't know about a fascinating thing called "fact".
Someone is enslaving white supremacists? And didn't invite me?
N900 browser has double-click-to-fit, and hardware volume rocker turns into zoom control.

Great google skills finding pinions of other Microsoft fanboys and some old fixed bug. You forgot to add something about "ABI" and "CMYK".

Different types of mind lead to different types of programmers, none of them being really superior.
They are not retarded, they are special.

Geode line is dead, and their new low-power chips are crap even compared to Intel.
First of all if you even remotely looked at my posts, you would see I'm no fan of MS.
My impression is quite the opposite.

I am not even going to explain why and how wrong this is.
Just please, kill all your friends, then yourself. I know, you want to.
Post more Microsoft marketing, your boss is behind you.
You can run Ubuntu in chroot on any Linux distribution.
You would know that if you ever used anything other than Windows, so please shut up.
More FUD from Microsoft astroturfer hairyfeet.
DRM failed miserably for software, and even game companies accepted that -- deal with it.
