You ever think that maybe this car simply is not practical in any city in the US, especially those where highway driving is essential? Nah, can't be. It has to be the automakers brainwashing people. Nobody'd pass up an electric nose with one seat on their own...

I don't know if you've noticed this on your own, but Linux developers are assholes across the board. It's a community made up of societal rejects that huddle together stroking each other's coding wangs telling each other how great they are. It's a community made up of people that can't even agree on something as simple as HOW TO COPY AND PASTING A PIECE OF FUCKING TEXT. It's a community that claims they're all about choice when what everyone ACTUALLY wants is everything done THEIR way.
In short, it's a bunch of jerkoff assholes that will never stop bickering because they're all childish tits.
In case you haven't figured this out yet, ESR doesn't give a fuck about a 'unified movement'. He's just another impish douchebag that wants things his way or no way at all.
No one thinks the term "Free Software" is a good one, the issue has always been that there's nothing better. I can't use Open Source since the term doesn't mean the same thing.
I've never understood why the fuck everyone doesn't just use the term "Software Libre" instead of "Free Software". You might have to explain what libre means, but it's WAY THE FUCK easier to explain than "Well, I mean free as in speech. Not like beer. No, see, you can use the code any way you want... yeah, you might have to pay for it... but that's not the free I mean..."
Much lesser foreign words have found their way into common English usage, why not this one?
I love that logic, how many people died in M1A2 Abrams tanks lately? Probably less then that. So clearly, everyone in the US should drive a M1A2 Abrams MBT.
Could you tell me where MS is losing money to 'pirates?' If I take one of their CDs, copy it, and give it to a friend who has no means of buying a copy, I've not cost MS anything, but I have extended their lock in. Nobody has lost anything, at least in a financial sense. The only ones to directly make $$$ at all out of this is the CD manufacturing company.
I was at a LAN part recently with some really hardcore nerds. $300 video cards, $200 cases, gigs of ram, more hard drive space than God... and not a single legitimate copy of Windows to be found. Every one of those dudes could afford Windows nine times over, but none of them bought it.
And please, get off this 'lock in' bullshit. You aren't even locked into a fucking thing you can hit the DELETE key and get rid of.
LMFAO. Oh no! You caught me! Gee whiz Beav, I thought we'd get away with it.

Dude, seriously, you're a fucking retard. I'm running Linux right now. I fucking hate Hotmail and don't use it. But you truly need to pull your head out of your idiot ass and realize that COMPANIES WITH FORTY MOTHERFUCKING BILLION DOLLARS DON'T FUCKING DIE. Idiot.
The problem is that being a smelly hippy Linux zealot ballslurper is all most of the people here can do. Acting sensibly isn't the forte of the Slashdot crowd, in case you haven't noticed.
Depends on where you are. In Texas it's Coke and Dr. Pepper. Other places it's Coke and... whoever. But Coke's always there, and that's kind of the point.
Because we all know MS is on the verge of bankruptcy and that everyone that has a Hotmail account is willing to drop it immediately and transfer to Gmail. Seriously, wake the fuck up and join the real world.

So what you mean is that it's a pussy sport, at best. At least chess is mentally draining.
Exactly. This car would do well in Europe, but it's completely doomed in the US.
You ever think that maybe this car simply is not practical in any city in the US, especially those where highway driving is essential? Nah, can't be. It has to be the automakers brainwashing people. Nobody'd pass up an electric nose with one seat on their own...
Okay, Abrams for some... small flags for the others!
Looks like someone still doesn't understand sarcasm.
It's great watching the pedantic dipshits that post here stumble over obvious sarcasm. Makes you wonder how they made it through school.

But there are many, many other reasons that ESR's off his rocker than this one.
No, behold the power of a pedantic jerkoff. "HURH HURH! It's not really black 'cause it reflects light! *SPOOGE* Anyone have a towel?"

Any criticism, no matter how truthful, is automatically FUD when applied to OSS. Haven't you learned this yet?
LMFAO. Oh no! You caught me! Gee whiz Beav, I thought we'd get away with it.

Very true, but do you want to bet money on a random sampling of ten Slashdotters? Neither do I. ;)
What's your point? Do you honestly believe for a second that Linux isn't succeptible to user stupidity? I seriously hope not.
The problem is that being a smelly hippy Linux zealot ballslurper is all most of the people here can do. Acting sensibly isn't the forte of the Slashdot crowd, in case you haven't noticed.
And you offer no proof for your statement, dipshit. In my opinion you are nothing more than yet another Linux ballslurper.

So you're okay with spam then?
Yeah, like how those damn hippies pushing THEIR 'free' stuff is hard to get away from... oh, wait... nevermind.
