Does this matter ? The governments of US and UK went to war in Iraq over a bunch of lies and responsible for thousands of deaths. I assume Ecuador hasn't done something similar .
Vetting Ecuador 's human rights standards at this point is nothing but a deep rooted western hypocrisy. Let me tell you , you are not superior.
I recently installed Fedora Core-1 on my new machine. Always I have a habit on VideoCD on my computer and thought I will try it with GNU/Linux. I came to know there are two applications on Linux to view that ie Xine and Mplayer).I dont have internet at my home,so I downloaded xine and mplayer from my friend's machine and put it in my flash drive.Now my probelm started.When I plugged in my USB drive,fedora didnt respond to any keyoard events on the first time. Second time when I booted it was shown as a drive.And it happened for the same sequence every time. I came to know Fedore Core -1 doesnt support hot plugin as Win 2K,but it is supported in latest linux kernel (2.6 >).When I tried to install xine and mplayer it showed endless dependencies,and finally I succeeded in installing xine.While watching a movie,I felt sound is ahead of picture ! and finally I had to stop that after I started getting echo.And picture quality is not as good in Windows Media Player(full screen mode).
What I am trying to say,even for some what experianced users,sometimes getting things working can be nightmare.

Is it a free software? RMS's only question about a software
I have been a Win32/MFC developer for last 4 yrs. When I started my development, I know how websites like CodeGuru/Codeproject helped me.We usually get most of the commonly used code there and sometimes very specific ones. Recently I have started some development on GNU/Linux, I couldnt find any sites similar to Codeguru/Codeproject. That's definitely a problem,that needs to be addressed. What we need code snippets/workarounds for console/gui applications at a centralized location.
I guess Mozilla/Gecko has a unique problem from the beginning. It doesnt load all the images, if the page is composed of lot of images.We have to manually refresh it,to see it fully. Anyway Phoenix is a right step forward.
These are rough memory requirements for loading a empty document(From NT's task manager) MS word 4876K OpenOffive 1.0 Writer 26460K. I guess Open office takes around 5 times of memory than MS Word.
Many people predicted on 1995,that with the advent of more high speed processors,Java would be the best development language.After 5 years,it is still slow and they have a worst user interface(Swing). Look at SharpDevelop,it is fully written in C#. I guess Java still has a long way to go on that
I guess Linux Desktop is still immature.What we need a unified Desktop which includes the best features of KDE and Gnome.KDE looks gorgeous,but its speed is worrying.Gnome is a kid needs maturity.As a windows developer,I am rather confused like many other developers to write applications.Moreover it might be worthwhile to note Win32 API took off just because it has powerful library wrapper called MFC. What we need in Linux is linux equivalent of MFC and ATL

My programming experience in Windows , and of course Visual Studio ,probably the greatest IDE
Comparing Unity with Windows 7/8 is a lame thought. Unity is badly conceived and it tries to impress the people who have hardly used computers.
It improves learning now ..

Does anyone know the price?
Does Hurd support pthreads? Any idea

I guess we have to compete against Microsoft Windows ,not with another user interface in Linux.
