I'm the first to criticize when a corporation like Google does the incredible task of photographing each person's house in the world and recoding bits of their wireless communications and demand government intervention (or at least obstruction).
But this is a clear example of something all users should be taking care themselves.
The battle won't be won because stupid people insist on running Windows and running every attachment mail their way and every pirated software they get from warez sites.
Did you hear *woosh* over your head? That's the sound of missing that he was proposing revenge for being terminated with extreme prejudice. If you are dead, you don't have to worry about being jailed.
If they fire you without firing AT you, that's good reason to kindly warn them to remove the DMS. All of this of course, as a joke.
Actually Apple isn't a dominant player in any area is it? I think iTMS may be the is dominant player in legal music stores but that's about it.
The iPod and IPhone are dominant in mindshare of their respective arenas, at least in TV and American pop culture.
I don't think it's actually that dominant in actual market share, specially globally.
Almost everybody I know is using either Nokia, LG or Motorola with a few Samsung phones here and there, I only know two iPhone users (both smug bastards) and three Blackberry users (all stuck up bastards).
Someone mod up/fix this.parent(); IMO Meyers has a good enough standing that one slip off can't suddenly reclassify him as an clueless irate blow hard.
That is assuming he actually slipped off, I haven't read that fine RTFA article.
Yeah, because no one can surpass the dating accuracy of adding up the improbable ages of mythological characters taken from the multiple and contradicting genealogies in the Bible!
Actually I have a complaint about debian, I tried to like it, I still do, but I can't install it on my system.
The installer failed me, it didn't recognize my (integrated) network card which it needed to download the drivers from my usb --when installing from usb-- or dvd --when installing from dvd--
First I tried "testing" netinst, then the first full CD, then the freaking DVD. And it failed.
I tried Linux Mint then, it just worked. Everything.
So I'm sure debian is a great OS but I couldn't get it to work and its mostly their fault, of course they have no obligation to make it easy for ME to install it, I can't demand anything from them, but why couldn't they just rip-off whatever makes Ubuntu/Mint so easy to install? Maybe a "Fat Netinst" that is minimalist yet loads a gazillion Ethernet drivers so that you can actually get to the "inst" part would be good idea.
I'm pretty sure wirelessless == wired, that's the way we avoid *lessless words. What they mean is wireless connectionless or wireless Internetless; or just connectionless or Internetless.
There really isn't much tribalism in the FOSS world. For starters only the OSS and the FS parts disagree and even then only in philosophy not methods. Other than that the general divide is between toolsets like VI vs EMACS, Qt vs GTK+ or Gecko vs KHTML, which everybody admits is about preferences and even they accept that the competitions is doing some things right.
If I had to reaaaaally close in on a controversial issue it would be Mono divide, but, and this is funny. the sides are formed by people who either want Mono for writing new software and people who ALSO want Mono but not for new software.
So this "tribalism" is really just something happening in Ubuntu as you say and even then it only really is happening because Shuttleworth is reading his textbook from Commander Tarkin. He united a lot of people by saying "here! let's work together!" and now he's all "Ubuntu is not a democracy." and now is acting surprised because the ragtag band of rebels he lead didn't like that attitude.
So you are an altruistic elite uh? Thanks I really needed that fact.
Since the introduction of 'idle' it should've been obvious that/. does more than direct reporting of critical events but also mere entertainment so I don't see why you should be complaining except, the obvious.
If it bothers you I propose two solutions: a) Give out free ipads to those thousands of kids with respiratory ailments, that's a way to change the survey results radically. b) Convince your ipad buddies to care more about other people, that way you could at least get the results to drop the "selfish" part.

You think that's bad? Right now you are surrounded by almost 7 billion people!
After reading their regulations section however I feel freer out here in the network than in that caged city.

And Mint, and Debian...
That tells me the word "comportment" actually exist in English!
How should Avatar have ended?
Fanboyish maybe but flamebait?

He's either juvenile or has some sort of sense self determination and independence.
Couldn't you be honest and simply demand all of our oil for free?
He said usable, as defined by his standards not yours.

Please keep explaining me about this theory of yours. Which are the 5 archetypes and 4 thieves or what?

You just invented the coolest term of the week.

i hope this goes by wooshless.
Which is great, the average English class travels at 0.2s/s

DUH!
Really, I'd have no problem with you commenting on your personal life so I won't even try to read your backlog of messages,
Now I see, warren was asking for an ipad user to speak out about altruist actions.
Aaaany way, what option did you pick? B?
Consider this one It's https://www.alwaysinnovating.com/store/home.php, os freedom for 60% the price.
So you are an altruistic elite uh? Thanks I really needed that fact.
