    I say this as an American gun owner. Adding more firepower to such a volatile situation is stupid. At least your unarmed police tend to murder less of your citizens.

    You're wrong. People spend lots of money on the healthcare of mice and rats. I have spent money on healthcare for rats. They make great pets and if they lived more than 2.5 years max they would be near perfect small pets.

    I run my own mailserver. My MUA sends to my MTA which send to their MTA.

    I do not and would not use my ISPs mailserver.

    You're right this would also solve that problem.

    Because most of them are unemployed and often on welfare of some form.

    Same thing in the USA with most of the people in the USA stealing about illegals. Note I said most, some are ok with legals, but most use it as a way to hide their real motives.

    Every time you send an email you are checking if they can receive them. Did the mail server sent back 421 or 422 or did it accept the mail?

    You act as though there is only one use case. You act as though these issues are not solved, in one way or another. Look at MojoSetup for example, which is just building on the work Loki did.

    Someone suggests in any thread netflix and you always bring up sports. Sure that market exists but for a decent group of folks netflix is good enough.

    I used a windows 7 machine not too long ago, still could not replace files in use, and all that other "single user OS in disguise" BS. I did not use it long enough to know about the AV issues or updates.

    I doubt it updates all the software on the machine via a central source though.

    Step 1. Release source
    Step 2. Stop talking to tepples because he is a fucking broken record.

    Releasing one binary is a dick move, at least make an rpm and a deb. Lots of guides out there for that.

    For me it the opposite. I can't be bothered to keep windows working and bother with antivirus and all that BS.

    Also I used Crossover, which is commercially supported and does not require me to bugtest.

    Which is not what the question was at all. I don't care.

    On top of that as indie game studios now often support linux, I am not sure you are correct.

    Nope, Linux did that.

  20. Re:Meh on Old Arguments May Cost Linux the Desktop · · Score: 1

    To reduce the number of reboots you might want to look into wine or the commercial option crossover. I know, I know, it might not be as fast, and it might not support every game ever, but if it works for you it could be an option.

    I use it less and less as I start to become more interested in playing only games that are released for linux, but I still use it for AAA games.

    Why is that an issue? Does all this linux software not come from developers?

    So then my desktop does not exist?

  23. Re:freedom to choose on Old Arguments May Cost Linux the Desktop · · Score: 2

    Some of the issues is that there are too many choices, which most users don't want. They want what works, and on average case, does best, not three tools that do about the same thing, but only handle a small part of that "thing" the best.

    No they don't, they want whatever the next TV commercial tells them to want. Too many choices, is like too much money. It is a problem we should all be so lucky to have.

    Many states do not require the parallel park, PA dropped the requirement in 1999 or so. The fact that you can take it in an automatic and be allowed to drive a stick I think also says a lot.

    5-7 members exceeds the average family size. A Corolla seats 5 and a station wagon can easily seat the amount of people you are talking about.

    An ad hominem would have been to say "Wow your kids must be as fat as cows", I asked because most of these SUV drivers seem to be fat people with fat children.
