What makes you think that people who work on a distribution would work on another if there wouldn't be for the one that they work on? Since they are not doing it now it means they have reasons not to do it.
That applies in corporate world too, do you think that people who work for Apple would work for Microsoft if there wouldn't be Apple?
And here we were actually talking about a new version of the kernel, not about any distribution, why do you troll?
"opposite conclusion" is not the right choice of words, I meant: instead of assuming that older people speech is a good indication of how they were speaking when they were young.
Also should have said "learn standard English better by the time they get to a certain age" -- English is not my first language, it plays tricks on me.
"This suggests that AAVE is becoming increasingly distinct from standard American English over time."
I wonder if this "age grading" doesn't just suggest that young people will eventually learn standard English better when they get to a certain age instead of the opposite conclusion, it's always hard to compare apples with oranges.
"it's developing an incompatible dialect" -- this is not a recent development, I interpret "it's developing" as "now", while actually the A-A vernacular has been developing for centuries with most of its characteristic features probably established long time ago.
That's complete BS, I'm not even going to bother to refute your points, because they are nothing more than a red herring, it's not even important why, the fact itself is important, there are half of million of pieces of malware for Windows and almost none for Linux (and no actively spreading virus as far as I know).
If you choose your neighborhood would you go for a war ridden zone or for Malibu? Sure, Malibu is just as vulnerable, actually it has less defenses than Kabul... it can *potentially* become worse, but it isn't now.

Well, I for one I'm happy that they didn't start to polish it by moving the window buttons God knows where.

Is your solution to have Microsoft distribute all the windows programs in the world?
No, but it could distribute or _facilitate_ the distribution for the most common programs. I don't expect my Linux distro to distribute all the programs available on Linux but I'm happy with the 20k+ that it does distribute, among them Firefox and Chrome, neither has to use computer resources to check separately if there's an upgrade available. I get Chrome as soon as is released, Firefox usually takes a while until is packaged for my distro.
But I hope you realize that having each program check independently if it has an upgrade does not scale.
And yes, I was talking about iPhone, that's another example of good model of application distribution (it sure can be improved, but it's better than Windows or even Mac way).

Moore's law is an observation, not a law, and it's actually about the number of transistors per surface unit, it doesn't say anything about speed.
Maybe they will have a Liger release :D
Because you can cut yourself if you use it.
Can't think of anything more useless than a computer that doesn't have internet connection.

Since when the legal system, especially in a religious autocratic regime, is part of "culture".

Informative response, thanks.

There aren't enough mod points in the universe to mod down all the trolls that are going to be posting on this topic.
Of course there are, for example I'd like to see your post moded down as troll, flamebait or offtopic.

Two words: App Store. Apple can do it. They even make money out of it. GPL and free software is a red herring.
