Ahh - the siren song of the linux losers. "Yeah we know that the last versions sucked but the newest from from cvs doesn't promise promise promise." Funny how that line never ever changes? Even when new versions come out?
Ahh - the siren song of the proprietary vendors. "Yeah we know that the current version sucks but the next version (only six months away) doesn't promise promise promise." Funny how that line never ever changes. Even when new versions come out.
I most prefer the one that votes with his conscience. And I'm OK with the one that will do what it takes to get 51 votes. But I won't tolerate the one that thinks the result of the vote doesn't matter.
there are two senators, and one wants $1M additional for a project, and the other wants to cut $1M from the budget. They can come to a consensus at leaving the budget alone. In which case neither side is happy, and nothing has changed, nothing has improved, nothing has been hurt.
And your solution is? I suppose Senator A could declare the Senate irrelevant and just get on with his project. You would see plenty of action - no checks, no balances, but the job would get done. Does this scenario sound "un-American" to you?
I also enjoyed reading the interview. Any chance we could have the same questions answered by Ashraf Tariq and Hasanen Nawfal? I'd like to hear what they have to say too.

That is because they are programmers, not because they are Indians. ;-)
Sorry. It's KDE militants.
As a Kiwi, I hate to admit it, but you're right!
It varies, depending on what *they* want you to see.

Despotic leaders occasionally use your true statement in defense of their otherwise unjustifiable actions.
Achieving consensus is hard. Really hard. It is what good leaders do well.
Yes you can. You only *think* you can't afford it.

Well, if 2% do care, that's a LOT of people.
Well said. Thankyou.
