What frightens me about the average DOT NET developers is that they have some fancy features that no one else has or can recreate given the will to do so.
And DUDE... ftp?? How about:
Login to KDE
Open Kate/Kwrite
Ctrl+O
enter in 'fish://username:password@host/path/of/interest'
work with file, hit save as necessary
And that's if you just want to use a plain text editor
I heavily use MS tools (day job) and open source tools and Linux only tools. For argument sake lets say it costs me the same amount of dollars for all the applications/tools regardless of if it is MS or if it is open source -- I still prefer the open source tools. Obviously I don't prefer all the open source tools, there are plenty that I don't like. But those that I do like, I prefer them over their equivalent MS tools (or at least what MS would like to believe are the equivalents).
So this will likely just have the same IE/Netscape effect -- but who didn't see that coming.

Just to be clear... not condoning anything any particular country does, just feel they should be allowed to do what they want within their own country.

It's often used as an argument as to why the USA shouldn't be bound to international laws that they agree to, or international organizations that they belong to. Seems only fair it should apply to Cuba as well.
I've come to the conclusion that those Speakeasy tests are way too optimistic on my RoadRunner connection as well. Need to find a more reliable way of testing. I wouldn't be surprised if ISPs just simply boost connections to Speakeasy as well -- would at least explain how when browsing all other sites is slow, and then doing the Speakesy test I get a high score.
This can't possibly be legal. Even the CEO should have an idea if one of their newest product does some highly technical thing which it advertises as a major feature. I don't expect him/her to know how AES works... but he should at least be sure that it is working on the drive. I'm sure his pocket change could hire a contractor to test this.
I know some people don't like how China runs their country. But I suspect a lot of those people are the same preaching "sovereignty" from the UN and other such orgs. How about letting China run the country how they want, and only decrying what they do outside their country. I find I it weird how the news media is descrying China for spying... as if the US doesn't spy... totally disregarding that some of the satellites are called "spy" satellites.
What a bullshit thing to say. A project is successful if it meets its slated goals in the agreed amount of time and expense. This has nothing to do with OSS.
Neither the summary nor the article seems to imply that open source == free. but it is a waste of resources to reimplement things, just because only good implementation is proprietary and you can't afford it. Some companies still implement their own timesheet and issue tracking systems -- what if there was a good OSS they could just mod to suite their needs.
Unless one side suddenly blows away the other, I don't see this ending. It may breed innovation, but said innovation only seems useful for this one problem.
I agree. It's almost as if they are paid to do this. People come up with the weirdest justifications for the shit Microsoft does. When Firefox has a bug, I feel no compulsion to justify it. But Mozilla doesn't pay me either.

Startup times have always been near non issue for me. More interested in cross platform support, flexibility, cost, etc.
Unless there is something wrong with Pidgin and Kopete that I do not know about, you need to retract this comment.
I have to respectfully disagree with that.

Well the ISP is an internet provider. Google is as advertisement provider... I don't think they've ever been secretive about that fact.
Fair enough, but this is the USA. Not exactly an innocent part in world history.

Is the whole rest of the world enemy to the US now?

What's with all the ACs replying to you?
when he said 'you' I don't think he meant individuals. I think he meant manufactures (and individuals)
It would be interesting to hear your non recursive definition of a 'dictator', as I wonder how many other leaders may fall into this category.

How about just calling it "sexual entertainment", I don't think porn is by definition adult only.
You know, such is never an excuse for the mostly non commercial efforts of Linux.

You sir, have a very generous definition of 'propaganda'. Bless you.
So how comes it is Linux's fault when hardware doesn't work?
Since it doesn't seem to reflect that facts of the situation.
