There were no shortage of 'experts' i.e. small business owners who ran local repair shops and snot-nosed brats who don't really know anything but heard bad stories about the k5 and k6 who turned everyone they could against AMD chips forever. I worked at a small business that catered to IT support for local small businesses and the 'senior' there would almost fly into a rage at the mention of using AMD or an Apple product, with the latter literally causing him to insult the client for even suggesting such a thing. Why? Because AMD made some bad chips in the past and well, he just didn't understand OS X.
The reputation that AMD earned with the k5 and k6 was appropriate, but they solved whatever their issues were with the k6-2 and you're right the Athlon was much better then the P4. Unfortunately, too many people that are held by others as being 'in the know' never kept up.
Intel holding the lead during the time of the Athlon was as much Intels past ability to make a consistantly reliable product as it was any illegal practice.
Wouldn't changing the code at this point still be a violation of the GPL? They released a certain version containing GPLd code, they need to make/that/ version available, right?
If they did make changes to how the tool works with Windows (changed to using the same public API's normal people have to for instance) presumably they are no longer distributing the infringing product. As such I don't think they would have to release both, just no longer distribute the first release.
This is PROOF that Microsoft KNOWS they are producing bad code.
Or it's proof that they made some changes so that the tool uses public API's instead of private windows internals and instead of just throwing it out the door, tested the changes made.
I'll grant you XP mode not being in Home editions is irritating, but the ability to join a domain is hardly a problem for the vast majority of HOME users.
when you've done that much work to make a computer that runs OSX, I think it qualifies as a Hackintosh.
Unless 'that much work' amounts to putting a Mac in a different case. He made a non-portable MacBook, but of course OS X installed on it, it is an Apple computer.
Less than 2 decades ago, a project like Linux was unheard of and essentially considered impossible
First off, Linus didn't do anything but release some code out to the wild. What happened happened because of others, most of whom you'll never know the name of. Linus didn't do anything except keep hacking away at his tool.
Secondly, the GNU Project would most likely like to have a word with you. Founded (not by Linus) in 1983. Created most of an OS using a distributed development model (sound familiar) and was at the point that all Linus had to do was put a kernel under it in 1991. The Free Software community you attribute to Linus already existed. Linus used the fruits of their labor. The BSD project also already existed and if it weren't for a lawsuit from AT&T, you probably never would have heard of Linus Torvalds or Linux.
FOSS is *much* larger then just Linux, and was around before it existed.
A number of these bugs are ones that were entered as KDE4 regressions, so closing them happens as KDE4 regains features that KDE3 had, also I believe that closing wishlist items is included in their bug count. KDE is a large project used by many people with different requirements and usage patterns, it's not that surprising that there are a large number of bugs found and reported.
As for 4.x is good for general consumption, each time they said that, at least in release notes, there was a phrase along the lines of 'unless you need X feature.' For 4.3 it was ready for general use, unless you used multiple monitors as that support, while there, had not fully been exposed.
I found 4.2 too be too much of a pain to use, mainly coxing it to run on 2 monitors, but 4.3 hasn't given me any problems... unless you need to print.
Shouldn't he have to face the same insane damages that file sharers face? Only a million in fines? If I shared Sgt. Pepper, I'd be looking at several times that and this guy was selling the whole catalog.
That's changed since it was so unpopular, you can now choose what world you start on. You can also go through a server transfer if you so wish. The only exception is two worlds that get too full because of the above, you can no longer create characters on them.
How can a fictional ad jar you from immersion in a fictional setting more then a real ad, trying to get you to buy a real product in a fictional setting?
A simple note on the account that you were cut off because of a suspected infection would prevent them having to send people out. I wouldn't want to see the call volume though.

The US was founded that there were inalienable human rights endowed to White, Northern European, Germanic descendants.

I had no idea that the phone company, or the cable company was a government branch.
That weak ass story is the best you can come up with?

Seriously, just STFU.
Bigotry and elitism got Linux this far, don't knock what works.

And the Peace Prize goes to none of them. Linus is just as deserving as any other winner (read: none of them were)

Of course, silly consumers for trying to use what they paid for.
He writes books. He has targeted people who call themselves geeks as his audience, surprisingly he writes what they want to hear so he sells books.
Those are just pieces of paper. Perhaps we should welcome the EU to the same road the US is walking down.
It is?
It was Chrono ... Chrono something.

and we'll do it live.
Cases like this are aimed at the hobbyist, not at corporate desks or people only interested in a tool.
Personally, I kinda like it.
