So they can get fired again. I gotta ask: when do we get real jobs? Not bullshit temp work, but a REAL FUCKING JOB?
You don't. In fact, if you're an artist, unless you get on with a firm as a graphic designer or something similar you're going to be doing freelance/contract work throughout your entire career.
Nothing, until their car gets reposessed and the bank forecloses on the house.
Should have prepared for the future. If you work in an industry with a high turnover rate, where contract labor is the norm, you are a fucking idiot if you don't have a fallback plan. This goes for everyone in that situation.
To me, it works like this: how many people has MS fucked over? Out of those people, how much less can they contribute to the needs of the poor due to MS's actions?
None that I can think of. Everyone that bought Windows did so of their own choosing. Same with people that bought PC's with Windows preinstalled.
And those people getting cheaper computers through the actions of the Linux community, how much more can those people contribute to the needs of the poor?
Bullshit argument, made by someone that has obviously never ventured outside his fairytale land of magical fairies that tell him he isn't a loser. Linux isn't a fucking magic goddamned wand, retard. It's a fucking piece of software. Quit you lameass self-serving bullshit and join fucking reality. Nobody likes you. Nobody gives a shit about your idiotic ideals. You aren't saving people money. You aren't saving the world. FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.
There is something to be said about giving to charities. There is even more when what you are giving was acquired through disreputable means.
No, not really. There isn't anything to be said above and beyond "Wish I'd thought of it first." You didn't. Get the fuck over it.
Paul fucking over Peter to give charity to Mary is pretty questionable in my book.
Who exactly is being fucked here? People that bought Windows? People that bought computers with Windows already installed? Am I being fucked because I can't buy a new Mac without OSX? Am I being fucked because I can't buy a car without seatbelts I might not use? Get a fucking life.
And you're a pathetic loser. Pieces of shit like you make me want to vomit blood all over the place. If you're so fucking cynical, do us a favor and kill yourself. You obviously have no reason to live so just go ahead and end it all. Won't you think of the children?
It sounds like the answers are spin for we weren't ready to handle a game of this scale. We maybe soon, but you all are going to have to put up with us through the learning process.
Spin? What spin? That was THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT, YOU IDIOT.
A better analogy: The developers are fucking dipshits for having such a retarded-ass naming scheme in the first goddamned place, much like dickhead Stallman and his "free as in freedom" bullshit. Wait, that's not an analogy...
You're an idiot. When you die, please have yourself cremated so as to ensure the maggots that would have feasted on your decaying ass won't catch the stupid from you.
The only people that will balk at the price are people that don't need it and wouldn't buy it in the first place. Remember the Fairchild? It managed to find a niche, despite being about $25,000 (in the early 80's!).
This is a tool for REAL musicians that make their living off of their instruments, not for some douchebag's project studio. Posts like yours are utterly ridiculous. "Why buy this totally integrated all-in-one product that works correctly straight out of the box when you can cobble together something that can do almost as much in a highly inferior way, for a lot less money?" Please dude, shut the fuck up.
Why the hell should they? If their software isn't under the GPL they are under no obligation to release its code. Apply the question to the kernel they're using and you might have a case, but even then they don't have to redistribute it if they didn't modify it from the form they got it in.
Has ANYONE around here but me actually READ the GPL?
What about the tobacco companies right to keep their information secret?
Again, dumbass, it's Criminal law vs. Civil law. Tobacco companies, and everyone else, have a right to keep ANYTHING secret. HOWEVER, if those secrets are of an illegal nature then the people that leak them are protected under various whistleblower laws. For example, someone releasing the recipe for McDonald's secret sauce could be fired and possibly sued for damages... unless one of the secret ingredients is CRACK or something similarly illegal in which case they could still be fired but would not be held liable for any damages.
WHO said that? What's the difference? ANY information leaked against contract (NDA) is a potentially criminal offence.
Correct. Depending on circumstances. Apple is pursuing this in a civil court, which makes it a CIVL matter.
But you have NO requirement to answer questions unless the govenment says so. So he doesn't tell Apple. Apple goes to court and NOW it is a Government issue if the COURT tells him he must answer.
What the fuck does this have to do with anything? Are you, in some idiotic rambling way, trying to insinuate that simply by taking this to court that the government is involved so they guy who leaked this shit is protected under the First Amendment? Are you Icelandic or retarded?
All your sperm is trying to get out yout ass.
I wish. If I could do that I'd make millions on the talk show circuit.
Did congress pass a law to insure you would be fired if you wore a Cannibal Corpse shirt to work?
No. Which is my entire fucking point. Congress has no right to tell you what to wear, but your employer sure as hell does. Is THAT a violation of free speech?
Then again, his comment is total bullshit perpetuated by sad bastards that have no fucking clue what the First Amendment ACTUALLY means. The First Amendment gives absolutely no protection against corporations or individuals attempting to silence you, ONLY against the government doing so. Try wearing a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt to your job as a bank teller and see how long it is before you're fired.
And that's nothing like in Linux where some things are in/bin, some in/usr/bin, some are in/sbin or/usr/sbin, then there's the shit in/opt,/usr/share,/usr/local... not confusing at all.
If your reason is "There are two directories to hold shit", you're a stupid fucking douchebag that should be shot in the fucking face on account of being too goddamned stupid to be allowed to reproduce.
Are you Icelandic or retarded? How, precisely, is a $2,000 custom built PC that's the size of a breadbox in any way comparable to A FUCKING MAC MINI that is 1/4 the price and approximately ONE TENTH THE FUCKING SIZE?
If you obtain something under the GPL, you retain the right to redistribute it under the GPL.
Yes, I am thoroughly aware of this fact. However, when you purchase a commercial MySWL license, you are NOT puchasing a GPL'd version of the software.
You are allowed to charge a reasonable fee for your time spend in copying it and for the medium upon which is is distributed.
Again, I'm aware. Again, commercial MySQL IS NOT UNDER THE GPL.
If I want to sell people some commercial software, or to give them some closed-source software, and provide them with MySQL as the accompanying database engine under the GPL, source and all (for MySQL) why the hell should I have to pay a single penny at all to MySQL?
Because you need a commercial license to distribute MySQL in a commercial project. If you were to simply build some Free software and distribute with MySQL libraries, you are in the clear. You can not do the same thing with commercial products because, say it with me because I know you know it by now, COMMERCIAL MYSQL IS NOT UNDER THE GPL.
Read this. If you still can't understand the concept of dual licensing, you're fucking hopeless.
Funny, I always thought the most offensive phrase in the English language was 'trial lawyer'...

Dude... GO OUTSIDE.
It also wouldn't survive without investors. I'm sorry to have to break this to your, but the Real World(TM) doesn't work in terms of 'us' and 'them'.
And you're a pathetic loser. Pieces of shit like you make me want to vomit blood all over the place. If you're so fucking cynical, do us a favor and kill yourself. You obviously have no reason to live so just go ahead and end it all. Won't you think of the children?
That's the most retarded bit of self-serving circular reasoning bullshit I've ever read in my entire goddamned life.

Yes, you fucking retard, because it's the goddamned government doing it.

Have you USED a modern keyboard? There isn't a damn thing intuitive about them.
Why the hell should they? If their software isn't under the GPL they are under no obligation to release its code. Apply the question to the kernel they're using and you might have a case, but even then they don't have to redistribute it if they didn't modify it from the form they got it in.

Now that's pretty fucking dorky, dude.

He can't embiggen his internet cock by just buying off the shelf hardware.
Hype, spin, an earlier launch, better third party support in both the US and Japan, and much better games up and down the line.
