But what I find most stupid is the philosophy behind it. Why make something so complex for free? I'm an excellent software engineer, good software is hard to make, it's beyond art, takes incredible amounts of education, hardwork and talent, and it should be kept proprietary and one should be paid to make it. I shouldn't have to run around asking for donations and shouldn't have to live in my mom's basement to get by.
Not everybody lives only for money, asshole. Of course, you sound like those ultra-Capitalists who think that absolutely everything should be done for money.
and giving away software for free is not helping anybody except big corporations who save even more money.
That is one of the most ignorant statements in that post, which is saying a whole fucking lot. The little guy, who has very little money to spend on software, is the one who benefits from FOSS. Because he gets better software for free.
Oh, and FOSS doesn't necessarily mean free as in price, although the code itself usually doesn't cost anything. (Usually, the cost of FOSS is in support and such.)
Well, silenced is probably the wrong word. I respect his free speech rights. I don't really care about the drugs--I care more about this fact: He said that people doing drugs(just like he did) should be locked up. That just annoys me, and I seriously wish people do stop listening to him, but I don't think people should be silenced.
I guess I just have a knack for using the wrong word.
I'm sure you'd love nothing more than to see Limbaugh and other conservative radio personalities silenced.
I'd like to see Limbaugh silenced, but not because he's conservative. I'd like to see him silenced because he's the world's biggest hypocrite(I'm not talking "big" in that way, although he is the world's biggest in that way too--but that's not the important part, and really just making fun of him, which isn't my goal right now). If any liberal radio personality(which, unfortunately, are several times outnumbered by the conservatives) did what Limbaugh did drug-wise, Limbaugh would flame him worse than the flaming of the editors after they post dupes.

Possibly, but I don't do it on national radio. ;)
He works for Linspire?

It was probably made by the same people.

He's talking about the corruption problem in general. Like what happens with mail spam blacklists

The Foo camp's Bozo filter in effect?
No, the Bush Administration only kills a few thousand civilians in Iraq, where we shouldn't even be.
I'll take your 5 socialists and raise you the entire Bush Administration. And Steve Ballmer.

You still use gas in 2050?
Ironic that your username is DirtyJ.
That's not as funny as the Vonage ads saying "No Nerds" on a site called "News for Nerds".
You really think Longhorn/Vista will be released by 2007?
That fits so well with your sig...
