You make the false assumption that you are rational.
If I'm not, why is there any point replying to me?
Pot, kettle, bang!
Well, if you want to talk about pot and kettle, you're claiming triumph at having got me to waste a few seconds correcting something that was obviously wrong, while the time you've spent replying to me is...a failed attempt at correcting something that was obviously wrong?
By the way, making you write out all your tortured, self-exculpatory reasonings is another string I've enjoyed pulling. Keep on dancing.
It doesn't really matter what it's copying from. Gnome has contributed nothing to OSX, and so to claim there's any kind of exchange going on is highly misleading.
No dialog box should ever have Yes and No buttons. The buttons should always be labelled with actions (e.g. 'Save,' 'Discard,' 'Cancel').
What, to make it hard to learn dialogs?
I answer yes/no questions from other people all the time. I'm quite capable of doing so from my computer, and if it would use them every time it wants to ask a yes/no question, it would make it far easier for me to learn.
Because Apple isn't using Gnome, and Gnome is still an inferior copy of OSX. Hiding behind the fact it's part of GNU does nothing to change this - gnome, in itself, is taking only.
What you don't get is that my choice of battleground was not to google something. It was to see if I could pull your strings enough to make you go google an inane little fact. I pulled, you danced.
Oh yeah? Well my choice of battleground wasn't whether I could beat you, it was how many times I could get you to use the word "dork", and I trashed you there.
Or, you really are as much of an idiot as you appeared, and now you're pathetically trying to justify yourself, because you can't face having lost.
Besides, if all you wanted was to get me to google something, you wasted a lot of effort. You could have just asked.
What you don't get is that I have been insulting you since my first post to you.
No, I noticed. It says a lot more about you than it does about me.
Your view is so obsviously wrong that there was never a chance to ever convince you otherwise.
That doesn't follow. If it's that obviously wrong, how could I have come to it? Because I was convinced because I'm suggestible, or because I've seen the wrong set of evidence. In either case, you can quite easily counteract it.
So I decided to see just how easy it was to pull your strings.
No you didn't. If that was the point of what you've done, you'd have no need to claim so here - you could just sit back, smugly satisfied, and laugh at me, and I could sit here in triumph, and we'd both be happy. The only reason you're doing this is you've lost, you know it, and you're trying to justify yourself.
Get used to it, when you are an idiot people treat you that way.
And now we go back to the insults again. I must say you're showing a distinct lack of imagination here though. Not least that required to look at yourself the way you're doing to others.
Oh wow, you made me spend ten seconds typing something into google. What a triumph!
As if ONE user would prove anything except how much you've painted yourself into a silly little corner.
No, it shows how poor you are at arguing. You say name one, that's your choice of battleground, and I beat you at it.
Oh yeah, some dork on slashdot can show one user of Oracle on linux (not even redhat, just linux) and that proves redhat is all about the proprietary.
Well, either it shows that, or, more likely, you've just shown that you would have difficulty arguing for the proposition that apples fall to the floor when unsupported.
haha silly little slashdork, jump through some more irrelevant hoops why dontchya?
Yeah, that's good. Throw insults when you lose, that way no-one will notice you did, only be careful never to make any of them anything approaching intelligent, otherwise someone might actually look. I'm not sure if I'm dropping down enough to be at your level yet, but I'm rubber and you're glue.
They're making money indirectly from it by advertising - if there wasn't so much spam, people might go for services with less advertising but without the antispam.
Try that when you need to apply for a job and see how far you get.
Why should it impede him? I'm not saying it won't, but the reason it does is basically just bigotry.
Just because you don't care how people older than you speak doesn't mean you'll never interact with them.
He can understand them when they write the way they do. Much as they might hate to admit it, they can understand him when he writes the way he does. So why should there be a problem?
I know, but I had pointed out that windows had had similar things with gifs before. Heck, libpng had a pretty nasty buffer overflow not so long ago. It's a sorry state of affairs, but assuming any sufficiently complicated piece of software doesn't have security flaws is almost certainly wrong.
My favourite example of this was someone posting "there is NO WAY ON EARTH simply OPENING a jpeg could trigger a virus", about a month before the jpeg buffer overflow vulnerability was found.

"It was to see if I could pull your strings enough to make you go google an inane little fact." Your words.
You == verbal LSD.
There's far easier ways to get that effect.
What is right back at me?
The line I quoted.
Well, if you're going to be like that the question could be simply "save?"
And I often know what action I will take.
But how do you know what the choice will be?
AIUI, wasn't that only possible using PearPC on linux?
So I have to read the buttons instead. That's no less work. Besides, quite often I know what the question will be.
A bad dialog using a particular convention proves nothing. A yes/no done properly is just as understandable and easier to learn.
If I'm not, why is there any point replying to me?
Pot, kettle, bang!

Erm, no, the real story is that he created a windows executable you can store on an ipod and it got reported as being "run on the ipod".
Oh wow, you made me spend ten seconds typing something into google. What a triumph!

Of course they do. But where's the profit in that? Especially when one of the main features of their mail service is their antispam.
That one's easy. When they stopped having Woz.
No. They get to decide whether or not they sell it. It's up to them whether they think my money is worth it.
Once they've sold it, it's mine, I'll do what I like with it, and they can fuck off.

Certainly enough to contradict your "haven't shown a single instance" claim.
Oh come on, it's so true. Any mods reading this, please keep it that way.
Haha. It's just "EFI lilo", and lilo was around far before that film.
So get two and do raid1. You should be doing it anyway, today's drives are more than big enough to be seriously painful to lose.
Well, every one of Oracle's contracts is an example.
