Exactly. In my opinion, the clothes are irrelevant and basically a filter: if you are the sort of person that will judge Stallman by his clothes, then the wisdom he has to offer is lightyears beyond your reach. It is better that you just dismiss it rather than polluting the discussion.
I disagree. First, the dichotomy is created by them and their attitude, not by me. Even the label "genius" you so rail against does not come from me.
In fact, i think real life offers much harder (non) interfaces that people navigate because they have to. Some people just find it easier to ask others rather than trying it themselves or look in the manual of the item they bought.
The mind is powerful, but it needs prodding sometimes.
The reason you become a tech genius is their own insecurities. You figured it out, they didn't. So if you are a genius, they can be normal folks. But if you are a normal person, that means they are (at best) the lazy bastards who couldn't be bothered to think a bit about it.
You can't both claim there was no one in the possible trajectory as a safety measure and wear no helmet. You either considered the bike could move or not. Cool bike, man!
I'll pay twice as much for a Linux mobile computing device where i don't have to recompile. Not that i hate recompilation, I just don't want to be bothered with the times it goes wrong.
While I use and love Linux, i couldn't agree more with you. This bug has been driving me crazy, as i was looking for the cause in userspace, and it coincided with the move to compiz-fusion. The animations of compiz eyecandy make even the slightest system slowdown noticeable so this bug pretty much killed desktop compositing in the affected platforms until it is solved (it runs but its not fluid). And with that we lose a great tool to generate interest in the Linux OS.
Microsoft doesn't want to list the patent infringements because to do so would start a quick wave of changes to make the Linux kernel non-infringing. In this scenario MS has nothing to gain, it loses FUD ammunition and Linux pretty much completes the rites of passage to O.S. adulthood.
Hell, looking at Vista, the MS patent showdown may be their last intervention in the modern computing industry. What more do they have to say/offer/sell after that?
Slashdot Mirror
And when you think about it, being true, doesn't it stop being funny? Think of the poor folks that must endure it.
Oh and thanks to whoever modded me flamebait. I read slashdot with flamebait weighted as +5.
Why is this funny??

> Is defending a MS operating system for honest reasons impossible to believe anymore?
We don't do honest here. We do technically sound.
Your sig is way too accurate for comfort.

Much better than facing the same situation with no hidden volumes.
Count me in for drooling then.
When the real riots start and they cook some cops/soldiers with their own gun for a few hours, we'll see about permanent injury.
Clearly you've never faced ants.
"from the point of view of an average user, someone who wouldn't want to enter text commands, hunt the Web for drivers and enabling software"
I must be missing something totally obvious here... Has he EVER used Windows without non-default drivers and software?

Also the ICQ client taking longer to load than autocad left a bad tast in my mouth everytime.

And a high chair.
Make reversible changes and let the (modified) player fix them for you.

Furthermore, i believe this unbelievable bug is spilling into many reports of "slowdowns" in other apps because nobody expects this in the kernel.
Hacking was my tought too. Build an army of robots to oppress us and you'll have the biggest surprise of your shortened life.
PERHAPS!???
We ALL google most of it. Different folks just start googling at different points.

Hence you can't have 2 filenames differing only in capitalization??
The linked boingboing picture, however, shows why teamwork is not always the best solution.
