Are you fucking stupid? Every fucking one of those is EASILY an exploit, not of code but of the user.
Fake certificates help in all sorts of scams. Spyware, eBay scams, whatever. "Oh, this is signed by Macromedia. It must be safe!"
Fake extensions. We've all seen the results of simply adding a.jpg before a.exe, and how much shit does MS take for THAT one? Like it's their fault that people are fucking stupid enough to double click on 0wnyourcomputer.jpg.exe. Faked extensions are worse, because they don't even have the fucking.exe at the end.
Lock icon spoofable. So you go to a site you THINK is secured, but it turns out it isn't. Happy funtime on your credit card!
Not all exploits are code-based, not all exploits are related to software.
Solaris 10:
Retail price - $99 x 4,200 PCs = $415,800 x THE NUMBER OF YEARS YOU BUY SUBCRIPTIONS
That's $99 PER YEAR, PER LICENSE. That's, by your calculations, $415,800 out of pocket EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Also, it should be incredibly fucking obvious that someone with 4200 installs to worry about isn't going to be settling for the fucking 90 day free support.
You're right, there's no comparison, but it's because you're a fucking idiot.
Too bad everything you linked to is a half-assed implementation that is matched in quality by most $20 Windows shareware apps. I don't understand why you use both Gimp and Cinepaint, as they're basically the same thing. Are you that desperate for examples of good free software alternatives? Ardour is a fucking joke, as is JACK. Blender is simply nowhere near being a quality 3d app, and unless the developers pull their heads out of their ass and push a concerted effort to make it less intentionally fucking weird then it will always be a half-assed program.
If Rockstar has a ball in their pants they will be suing this motherfucker for libel before the week is out, and asking for his disbarrment as well. It is quite obvious he has a personal problem with them, and can not be trusted to act professionally. When you say shit like "We're going to destroy them" before there even IS a fucking WE, you have no claim whatsoever to being a lawyer. You do NOT say shit like that and expect to keep your job for long.
$100 AUD = $70 USD. Check it yourself if you don't believe me. Seeing as that's about $10 more than what people here are paying, there's not much room to complain.
Yeah, that fucker of a judge ruled that a legally binding contract was legally binding. What a bastard, going around upholding laws like that. Someone should fire him.
You're entirely correct. If he had a problem with his contract, the time to bitch was before he signed the damn thing. Sorry dude, you didn't read your contract or didn't care at the time. Tough shit. Move along.
You expect the Slashdot people to put money up for anything? These are the same dudes that will take four months to program a half-assed clone of a program they can buy for $20.
Are you Icelandic or are you retarded? Read my post again. I mentioned both AND I used a big word like continent. *GASP* Go look it up. You might learn something.
So Slashdot has to stand up for OSS even when OSS may be in the wrong? So if RMS went out and killed a bunch of babies and drank their blood, then went and pissed said blood all over the babies parent's then you'd have some funny story on te front page about RMS's crazy nutty ways, isn't he such a scamp?
The reporters are not 'owned' by the fucking company, they are employed by them. MSNBC as an organization may be owned my MS, but journalistic integrity, despite what the Slashdot editors might think, is important in the real world. If MSNBC wants to be taken seriously as a news organization, they have to maintain that integrity. They are not a raa-raa MS site that exists soleley to give textual blowjobs to software leaders. Basically, it's the exact opposit of Slashdot.
I doubt it. Businesses everywhere would say "Fuck you, you goddamned smelly hippy bitches. Fuck you and your stupid fucking crybaby pussy-ass games. Fuck your stupid software, fuck your lameass social retard ideals, and fuck your mom. Someone get MS on the phone. Last I checked they didn't pull the plug on their customers to prove a lame fucking point. Fuck OSS and the stupid fucking Commies that run it. In the ear. With some corn."
They're not from America, you fucking idiot. They're from Canada, Mexico, Brasil, and other countries. No, they're not even TECHNICALLY from America. They live on either the North American or South American continent, but THEY ARE NOT FUCKING AMERICANS YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARD.
I liken it to PDF's. Just a few years ago, PDF files were what Flash is now, the handy scapegoat. "OMG!!!1 PROPRIETARY FORMAT!!!11!! n000000!!!1" But now that there are about half a dozen programs that create and display PDF's in Linux, we love them! "Use PDF's, not.doc files! Join us in PDF land!"
I seriously do not understand the mindset of people that can't pull their head out of their ass long enough to realize they're not the only people using computers these days, and that most people don't want to drop two grand on a computer to be greeted with midnight fucking commander when they boot up and look for a file. We do not live in the dark ages of computing. Not everyone is a fucking programmer. If you don't like it and won't use it, shut the fuck up. You're obviously not the target audience, you don't fucking matter.
Because there is little to no chance of any 15+ year old arcade games getting a port to Linux, whereas getting ports of curent games and applications is important.

Is this supposed to be an excuse? I sure as fuck hope not. "It's HARD. Don't blame US if we fucked it up."

And there are places elsewhere where looking at a Playboy is grounds for decapitation.
Quit whining about the fucking price. Either buy the goddamned game or shut the fuck up.
Gimme a fucking break. Whiny bitch. "I can't wait ten days to play the game, I think I'll steal it instead." Shut the fuck up and die.

It's an FPS, what the fuck did you expect? A full-fledged baseball simulation replete with ragdoll crotch scratching physics?

For the slow amongst you, yes that was sarcasm.

Get them to sign a contract stating that they're leasing your ideas and you might be onto something.

You can't get half the Linux users to buy CD's of their favorite distro. What the fuck makes you think they're going to throw money towards the EFF?

That's exactly what people said about Win95, and 2k, and XP.
