    I said "From INCONVIENIANT to pure hell.", its never been pure joy, and I've been stranded in Oakland once. OAKLAND. I like your kool-aid, make I have a cup?

    You know, I'm no fun of poor public decision-making but honestly turning off the data in underground public transportation seriously does not seem like that big of a deal to me.

    Its increadibly inconviniant, and the airlines are starting to show how unnessessary it is. My own feeling is that they did that in an attempt to conceal the fact that BART was broken again. Had nothing to do with safety.

    Rarely take bart, only when I have business in Oakland, and every experience has been from inconvinant to pure hell.

    Having experience with large Container ships and RORO's is perfect engineering practice for the dealing with the unique, shall we say, attributes, of the average American passenger.

    We Americans will remember that as we watch Aussies board the ship, being an Aussie venture and all.

  8. Re:Way too confusing on Why Desktop Linux Hasn't Taken Off · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How I am even supposed to begin to recommend Linux for the average user when there are 100 different distros, each with its own quirks and issues?

    Pick one, and deal with its "issues".

    If you want simple users,

    Prefer sofisticated users, but I get your meaning.

    Linux is way too fractured right now for the average user.

    Disagree. Instructed my sister on how to install it over the phone. She would have called for help with windows as well, so don't go there.

    It would probably also help if you could get Linux users to stop fighting amongst themselves over every little goddamn thing.

    That's not going to happen, and I'm not sure its an issue if you just use one distro. Even so, how exactly does OSS infighting harm you?

  10. Re:Some Personal Experiences on Is GPL Licensing In Decline? · · Score: 2

    Distributing source was not the objection I heard. It was more along the lines of the license itself... anyway, if you use it are you exploiting it? You kind of sound like ANY use of OSS is exploitation. If so, why release it? Just keep it in a vault if no one can use it.

  11. Some Personal Experiences on Is GPL Licensing In Decline? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've had recent occasion to talk to a few SAAS providers and other software producers who are employing OSS tech in some of their products and the consensus was the GPL was too constrictive, so their using other schemes. I'm also noticing others around the web sticking to GPL 2.0, and dismissing 3.0. I'm just a messenger, just what I've seen.

  14. Re:Why does Apple hate America? on How Apple Sidesteps Billions In Global Taxes · · Score: 1

    Certainly its logical to minimize your tax liability. But its interesting to me that Apple only paid 9.8 percent. We individuals pat at least twice that, and closer to 30%. The country is by and for corporations, I can't see that there's much one can argue against that. The constitution is dead, a more current one should probably read like a EULA.

    ...no return (or has one I did not know about).

    I get that I may have to do some tweaking after a complete install, its the curse (blessing) of embracing OSS, to some extent) But I kept wanting to tweak Unity in a thousand little ways, and drawing a complete blank on how to make some things I wanted happen. I blogged about it if you're reading my experiences. Sounds like our two are in the same ballpark.
