Yeah, because people are not born with knowledge, you did a poor job of pushing Ubuntu on some people, you should have provided at least the basic training "you install programs by going to Add/Remove Software" How difficult is that? Basically it's not their fault, it's yours.

I don't know about others, but when I was 9 years old I did have a mind. Do you think somebody gets a mind suddenly when they reach 16 or 18? (or whatever is the legal age of consent).

Yes. For example this is the definition of "statutory rape": "sexual intercourse with a person who is below the statutory age of consent"
So, if there's no statutory age of consent, there's no rape. Simple as that. What you want to say is that is "bad" regardless of law, you only use the word "rape" because is a loaded word. That's OK with me, just make sure you don't confuse the concepts in you head, that's worse than just trying to confuse other people using words that don't apply.
Ok, I agree, from now on we should not discuss about legal issue with people who are not lawyers, we should not discuss health issues with people who are not doctors, we should not discuss philosophical issues with people who are not philosophers, and we should not listen to opinions of people who don't have a degree in having opinions. Do you have such a degree?
Why is so insightful? And how come the GUI is not good enough, I think Synaptic works very well, I happen to prefer the command line for different reasons: 1. faster access 2. better way to explain (easier to say "type "sudo apt-get install firefox" than to explain: Open Synaptic, in the search field type "firefox" then click find, then select "firefox" and click "install" then click "apply")
Also it's idiotic to generalize like this and stereotype an entire community, do all the millions of Linux users are like you said? Aren't you just flamebaiting too?
The problem is that people already use Facebook and they are invested in it (they have friends, pictures, etc) and this is a change in TOS that you can't refuse, if you just leave Facebook the TOS says (from what I understand) that they have control over your info... so what use to leave now?
"It's like getting angry at BMW for using BMW driveshafts"
No, it's like getting angry that 90% of the gas stations service only BMWs. Sure, you can get a VW, and you'll have "plenty" of gas stations that will service it. Oh, have I mentioned that 90% of the parking spaces are only for BMWs too?
I think it's pretty much Government's job to keep the playing field balanced (no monopoly). If it's not the Government who else, companies like Microsoft getting ashamed by their own behavior?

Do you just apply the new license or do you need to reinstall?
I like that this was moded "insightful" and not "funny" :D

Everything is easy for a team of PhDs that has free time on their hands.

Also, a big chunk of Virtualbox code is free (as in freedom) that's anything thing to appreciate.
Hey, how do you know where I live? I didn't mention that, nor have I mentioned that I'm glad or not... you did.
so... good thing that you don't have that right in the first place?

Netflix doesn't have ads, Hulu has. I moved away from TV to Netflix exactly because of ads.
Why would I be mad at Netflix because my ISP set too low bandwidth limits?
