My guess is the good managers are too busy working to mod/post on slashdot, and all of the employees are the ones slacking. I try to split it down the middle, I'm semi-in charge of my area, but I gotta give myself a little break sometimes.
Well, if it's someone you've felt out(or felt up in your case), you can be more direct about stuff, I'm just talking about in general, it's better to come across as relaxed, and not pushy.
Actually, you using the word "windoze" is going to do more to slow down linux growth than Xandros' occasional lockups.
Just remember, a calm and cool zealot will convert more than the raging fanboy.
It's not bad, actually. There isn't even a legitimate complaint, but the super-hardcore anti-MS(note that i typed MS, not the overused M$) zealots jumping all over something. Microsoft has a duty to not let its files be downloaded to a possibly non-secure platform, and, for once, they seem to be doing something for the right reasons, it just happens to piss off a lot of people.
To absolve myself from being considered an MS junkie/linux hater, I use windows on the desktop, linux on my file server, and linux on my servers at work.
I suggest that you simply deal with the fact that companies buy other companies so that they can make more money, and accept the fact that capitalism exists, and works well.
I would probably hop back over to intel if they were to get a dual-core to the market before AMD does. I don't do too much gaming, but I do, however, do a lot of video conversion/etc, and that requires some more horsepower than my barton 2500 can put out.
I'm just imagining Ultima - Martian Dreams combined with the original simearth's terraform Mars scenario. My only concern is that the warming will destroy the martian canals and the dream machines.
Hey, sweet, if no one can see my IP address, that means I can't communicate with them via tcp/ip, which means a return to IPX/SPX, just like playing starcraft on a lan pre-TCP patch. Hells yeah!
People like you are the reason that linux has a hard time being accepted as mainstream on the desktop. One zealot losing his temper right here could make a PC user reading this thread think "Damn, linux people are freaking weirdos", instead of reading people's ideas on why they release the drivers or not, and making their own decision. So thanks, crazy man, for reaffirming the general public's thoughts that linux users are angry people who froth at the mouth at anything that isn't 100% open source, and type shit like M$ instead of MS/Microsoft.
If you'd just step away for a second and try to be open-minded(like open source, but use your brain), you can see why the companies do this. Sure, I don't agree with it either, but I'm not going to lose my temper over something that makes pretty colors show up on my monitor.
Open-source support doesn't create any significant increase in income. It's a niche market that really isn't worth being invested in yet. Note that I said YET, not NEVER.
I'm all for some open ATI drivers so I can finally move to ubuntu full-time, since my linux skills aren't quite up to par as far as doing kernel-fiddling. Unfortuneately, there's just not a significant market for it just yet.

I'm more fond of "candygram!"

And since it's already gratis, would anyone want to pay for one that achives actual native performance?
The same reason anyone pays for open-source stuff. Support and ongoing development for specialized needs.
I'll start you off with a classic.
LOL m$(see what I did there) suxx! gnu/linux 4 lyfe!

Just keep in mind that nothing in this world is free. Someone will have to pay for it in one way or another, be it in money, equipment, time, etc.
Dude, if you consider that thing ugly, your monkey must have a positively fantastic ass. I like the design, it makes me tingly on my boy parts.

Well, the main article that this discussion is attached to claims that it will require an all-new chipset, so I wouldn't get your hopes up too high.

There's no cost too high.
Even better: when you die, you're brought back to life by Special Agent Jesus!
Then you have sex with your mom!

Then this is of no value to you, and you wasted bandwidth posting your reply.
Thanks to this semester's calc 2, I know what vectors are now, and with a test thursday, I hate you for bringing up orthogonal :)
If it's so obligatory, why bothing posting it?
With about 10 zeros.
I'll be weeping in the corner like the ugly geek who can't get a date with destiny(in this case, S&M2)

Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of infecting the mothership, borg-style.
Oh, I'm sure it does for you and me. I have no idea how, but when I tell people to do that, it ends up not working at all.
