On Linux or BSD, files aren't executable by default. The OS just won't run them. Any attempt to make a file executable requires a local user to manually enter a password.
If you realize that an enormous amount of the software a non-trivial corporation uses is custom developed, as is the code that most professional programmers produce, then your comment loses the little weight it might have.
Support does not necessarily mean "fix on demand the billion stupid bugs that are left in the code". It can also mean doing custom modifications on the code, with which you as its developer are best positioned to understand, and what not.
If you cannot see the advantage of being able to know something labelled "Fedora Core" is actually *the* Fedora Core, well, then I have some designer clothes I think you might be interested in, at an amazingly low price...
If people seem to agree, of course it is the hivemind at work---if they disagree, well, it is the hivemind again, now showing how sadly inconsistent it is.
You could explain to her that neither math nor science in general is a `nerdy' profession, that she will outgrow her adolescence and that she will very soon hardly remember the names of her high school classmates. That there are peers out there to be had that are considerably more valuable than those who might have instilled in her that fear of nerdiness. That, in fact, she should do whatever it is she may want to do.
How come you did not bother to do a minimum amount of research on the matter before making such patently wrong assertions? It is not like this information is that hard to find...
Yes, we all know that America is less liberal/extreme as the rest of the world.
I would say, rather, that we all know that America is much more extreme than the rest of the world: the left there is very much to the right of pretty pretty much every semi-moderate right in the rest of the world...

You should really try that...
Meet ^W.
Women are more aligned with simple, repetitive and multiple tasks. Men are more aligned single tasks that require great concentration.
The only thing conclusive in this statement is that you need to meet more women and more men.
Your closest friends may not know the first thing about computers, but they surely they do not think less of you because you do?
Did you read the post I was replying to and mine?
Huh?

Maybe the developer should rethink his business plan?
and if you substitute "propietary" by "open source" throughout in what you wrote, you get an exactly equally valid argument, too.

Not much of a hivemind, then, is it?

You must be really good at parties...
In what possible way is his writing whatever comes to his mind "restricting people to open source their program"?!
And that makes him different from, well, most people... how exactly?
Maybe you should spend some time in, say, Norway?
The ones she will miss are, most probably, not those who think math is nerdy.

LaTeX is not "document editing software"...
Have you tried contacting those who make Photoshop and your other apps aware of the fact?
I would say that Photoshop is a great application which is only missing support for other platforms...
The list time I installed an OS from MS, it had a CONFIG.SYS file... What do they use nowadays?
As opposed to the what percent of, say, people who thought that Bush was an already proven failure and voted against him?
You are arguing against democracy, you know...
Sadly the Great US of A will only be another socialist country like those in Europe.
Let me guess the number of times you've visited Norway...
So... from that quote you deduced that he is the vanguard for the next come-back of revolutionary communism?
