Richard Feynman was an out user of recreational Marijuana, and he was one of America's leading physicists.
Of course, the burn out down the street who does nothing with his life except collect welfare is also an out user of marijuana. Bottom line? Everyone's different. Bottomer line? The burnout down the street might not want to do anything with his life, whereas Richard Feynman dug physics and math. Pot tends to lead you to do what you want, as opposed to what you should. Maybe if he didn't smoke, Feynman would have been some kind of accountant helping people get rich instead of contributing to the world of physics. Which would have been better? Who knows.
Anyone who's ever gone to a scientific conference can tell you that marijuana might not actually have any effect on IQ. Many, many scientists are pot heads, especially the especially bright ones.
First:
thats because theo as a personality disorder. saying "oh no we can't include closed binaries they are evil" is stupid.
Then... people/companies have the right to release their software under any license they want to
So, since people/companies have the right to release their software under any license they want, Theo's decision to not allow propietary, closed binaries into his OS distribution is stupid? Even though he's enacting the same choice that you say is valid for everyone else? Sounds like YOU have a personality disorder and some blind rage against Theo.
Personally, I think Theo's ability to stick to his guns and not compromise his ideals, while also spitting out the code to back his big mouth up is admirable. His drive to also at least develop some kind of dialogue with hardware manufacturors to get license-compatible firmware is also admirable. The guy does friggin good work, give him a break.
Yeah, i agreed with you until I actually tried it. If it's got bloat in it, it don't run like it. It's probably the most responsive desktop i've used, and the one with the most eye candy i've used, including OS X, Windows XP, Gnome 2.10, KDE 3.4. Those two things don't usually go together. Somehow rasterman pulled it of, if it is bloated. Otherwise, he's just a damn good coder.
Why would I install crap on my PC for something I can accomplish with a single CTRL+F?
Because, like, it's google!! And like...they have ALLL of those really really neat engineers that do stuff for money! And...they're, like, totally not microsoft of sun (HAHAH SLOWLARIS!!!). And..like..GOOGLE! C'mon, like, they're not evil!!! OMG!
Yes, but without the force required to bend iron, it stays unbent (unported). Your analogy says nothing for the flexibility of NetBSD compared to the flexibility of Linux. It does, however, imply that it takes far more resources to bend Linux than it does to bend NetBSD. That's All.
No rule is absolute, I'm looking at the general trends and there just aren't very many 100+ year old corporations and even fewer that hit 150. At some point stupidity sets in, they stumble and get picked off. Corporations are mortal it seems.
A more realistic explanation is that corporations with substantial marketing and lobbying power stay in business, regardless of the quality of their product. Those that have no clue on how to trick the public into liking them die, again regardless of the quality of their product. There are some exceptions when you get down to small businesses and small corporations, but once you get to the multinational level, quality doesn't matter - what matters is past reputation and how many subsidies your lobbyists can get congress to enact.
I also like how since pepsi co is 10 years older than coke, and 3 years past the cut-off, it doesn't count as a long-lived corporation. 102 years is pretty damn long in my book, and it's going strong. Why? Marketting.
If you compile sound, v4l, etc into your kernel, then they will be in your running kernel. If you compile them as modules, then they won't be included in your running kernel until you load the modules.
Two different things you're talkin' 'bout here. Now, most main stream distros have just about everything included as modules, except system-critical stuff, and then use various means to detect your system hardware and load the modules needed.
Typical Cellphone conversation amongst those you saw:
Females
"Yeah, I'm at a bar by Penn State. Yeah. Uh huh. This weird frumpy looking guy is staring at me. Yah, I guess it's my skirt. Anyway, your place tonight? Sounds good. I need a good pounding. See you then!"
Males
"Soo...we still up for tonight? Yeah, I can't wait. What...the...fuck. Some fat nerdy looking guy is starting at me. I think he...wants my ass? Yeah, baby, I know you want my ass. Just like I want your ass...and I KNOW i'll get it later tonight . Alright, see you then. Bye."
See, "normies" use cellphones to get laid. It's that simple.
True Enough. I play WoW now mostly becuase a large segment of my friends are so addicted to it, it's the only way I can communicate with them. I'll play it for a few hours, then get bored. "Oh, a new quest. Oh, kill more people. Oh. Ok." I recently installed sim city 4 on my computer and got throughly engrossed in that. Something about actually having to think and problem solve, I guess. Different strokes, eh?
You sound very young and very naive. While that sounds good in theory, it isn't necessarily what works out in practice. Lobbying, marketing, partnerships, and gaining an early foodhold in the market generally contribute more to success in America's pseudocapitalist market than good products.

ZING!
Jump off your mom before she goes under.
The evidence is this: I'm incredibly brilliant and incredibly stoned.

particularly if you take into account that it actually looks half decent.

Glad you drink lots of coolaid.
mod "-5000000000: moron" for saying "Aunt Tillie." Ugh.

erm...he didn't say "all distros." Also - Gentoo GUI installer Exists. Available now for testing.
If you compile sound, v4l, etc into your kernel, then they will be in your running kernel. If you compile them as modules, then they won't be included in your running kernel until you load the modules.

uh...word.
I have them turned off and I didn't see his add. It also makes slashdot a hair less annoying.
Arch linux. You get most of the customizabilitiness of Gentoo without the compile times.

Strangely, I still seem to be able to get laid whenever I want.
You just choose not to, right?
That's because strongbad is not a fad. Strongbad is a revolution.

I'de like to buy this patch you speak of. When will you make it available?
