The reason that open source sucks is that it is tied to Linux, which is a derivative of UNIX. Devotees of the Cult-of-UNIX believe that gui interfaces are positively evil, because users should have to EARN the right to use software by memorizing an arcane and poorly documented command line syntax.
As much as I like to bash Microsoft, that doesn't completely answer his question. Even if there are more pro-Microsoft posters on Slashdot, does it mean that those posters are shills? Maybe their claims are justified.
there is plenty of instances were dropping the current connections to a service is just as bad as a reboot - i've worked in processing labs where dropping database connectivity for even a second jams up 100's of insturments, or even worse on older equipment which isn't smart enough to buffer, you loose results to important tests which cost time and money to redo.
Just as bad? Are you only running this database on one box? You can't restart the database on one box at a time? PostgreSQL has a smart mode which retains current connections and only terminates when allsuch connections are finished.
Indeed, what if you only have to update the kernel, and not the network service?
How long does it take to restart Apache (or vsftpd or sshd), compared to how long it takes to reboot? Or if you are running multiple services and only need to restart one?
The OP never set a million as the minimum population necessary to be a major city, though he did say that 350,000 was insufficient. Maybe the OP would place minimum at 500,000.
I didn't say that you mentioned Office, I said that your response was similar to a response about the lack of Office in Linux. I was responding to the form of your post.
OP didn't deny that it was a city, only that it was not a major city. I don't know where the OP grew up, but maybe 350,000 just isn't that large of a population tohim. The fact that a place is counted as a city by the government doesn't mean that the place has enoughpeople for him.
Dont' be silly. According to your pseudo-definition of a city being least 1 million people,
Except the previous poster didn't say that. The GP said that a place with a million people was a city, not that the million was the minimum population.
Any student of economics who was looking at a product with a 10% approval rating and 80+% customer loyalty would immediately suspect some kind of serious market interference.

Does this apply to Leopard, which is SUS?
KDE offers click to focus, focus follows mouse, focus under mouse, and focus strictly under mouse. Is something missing?
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft were astroturfing on Slashdot.

Even for servers - engineers need to design their farms so they can take servers down.
Isn't that why you have farms in the first place?
Reboots stress the hardware a bit,
But you don't want to hot swap the kernel?

And why would an atheist such as Stallman sanction such usage?

Does this mean I should stop waiting for them to support OS/2?
I would think that Stallman could spell "daemon" correctly, or does he really have Satan's minions working for him?

Complaint: Operating system A sucks because it lacks some feature of operating system B.
Response: But operating system A has that feature.
Complaint: But A's implementation of it isn't real.

Like Microsoft Windows?
Well, Slashdot is safe on that count.
Because your post brought up, from the other side, the complaint. I was responding more to an attitude than your specific claim.
Whether you believe it not, there is a lot of criticism of Linux on that point.
No, I'm responding to you and this:
Let me guess, a "real" shell is defined as "a shell that Microsoft is not currently shipping."
As opposed to a "real" office suite being defined as one that is compatible with Microsoft Office?
Or OpenSuSE. Or several other Linux distros.
V2 impacted at supersonic speed thousands of miles away.
No, V2s did not have that range, although they were supersonic.
Also, the quality of German university graduates in chemistry had declined by 1937 (Shirer). Maybe they were coasting on their talent.
Britain had centimetric radar in 1940:

And I hope you meant wavelengths in thhe 10-meter range.
