SH1: Schooling our barely educated, almost unpaid throwaway workers, who are thusly void of any intrinsic motivations to do any good at their job, will cost money. Given our employee turnover rate, a lot of money. We will need to keep the processes simple, any change will only be approved if it simplifies the process. You should know all this. Exec3, GM, you're out.
Tainted doesn't mean proprietary. To some it seems it does, but that's not the generally accepted meaning of the word.
To the guy who asked the question, code that's owned by Oracle seems to be tainted, even if it's not proprietary.
I didn't think you meant to say the code's license makes it tainted. My bad.
Hehe, yeah.
Meanwhile, at some water cooler in some province of China:
Exec1: Some random guy who at some point bought _one_ of our mainboards, making us around 0.1 cents of profit, who may or may not buy more of our products, asks us to change our process.
Exec2: *rotfl*
More options is not what consumers are looking for. No matter how much all those marketing departements try to sell them, more options always makes things more confusing, to a point where it's just not worth the potential use of a device.
It's amazing how long they could get away with selling stuff on the amount of features alone, but that doesn't seem to work so well anymore.
They're trying to show that whatever they're protesting against made them desperate enough to go that far. People dying because of that won't do Google's image a lot of good.
In short, they're lvl10^7 attention whores with an agenda. They're dangerous, and given how much they invest people will start wondering if they have a point. Not you obviously, but other people different from you. You know, those with souls and a shred of empathy.
Now that's a good development. After decades of taking whatever shit they're handed to, now they finally start to fight.
A little uncoordinated and unefficient maybe, but it's not like the workers in the west did any better at first.
It isn't? I know quite a few people who work more than their health allows, ruining it even further in the process. It's so commonplace actually it's being portrayed in popular culture.
GDP is a bad factor for a country's prosperity, right. For more reasons than what that figure can actually buy, it also doesn't say anything about the social infrastructure, sustainability of the economy, how that wealth is distributed...
It's been a bad factor for a very long time, but it seems every replacement is outdated by the time it approaches mainstream use.
GDP per capita is a poor indicater for a country's development.
Guess I should add I'm not calling South Korea 3rd world, since you tend to jump to that conclussion.
Hex-a-hop is on the Maemo repos. Would expect that to work on Maemo devices.
That Nokia decides things about their new OS without consulting the public is a given, and the choice of a package manager is pretty fundamental. How would you have preferred them to handle it, realistically?
1) Aside from CLI tools, there's nothing in those repos that would work on mobiles. And those are likely to be found in RPM repos too.
2) I assume that's fixed in one of the oldest linux package manager.
3)...
4) Politics. Yeah well, there are more unfortunate political decisions to be annoyed by.
5)...
Not very convincing. If those things buy me package management with acceptable performance, yay, RPM ftw!11!
Slashdot Mirror
Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you!
You're probably one of those poor deluded souls who think that a thousand euro lens will automatically make for great pictures.
Doube minimum wage. Are you implying that's good pay for a job that's bound to destroy your health?
Which actually makes Facebook more trustworthy. The devil you know..
You have an interesting definition of "friend" or of "to harass". See a psychologist or a dictionary.

Huh. Some guy on slashdot, one who thinks intelligence correlates with genetics no less, thinks I'm an idiot. I will cry myself to sleep tonight.

Of course, that's the sole reason. Choosing that specific word - "tainted" - doesn't change the message at all.
Smartass. Yes, it is. So? The Spanish use it in this form, so do the French. Making it a Spanish or French word, depending on pronunciation.
This comment made me a smartass of equal or larger magnitude I guess.. Oh well.
So you're saying the intimidating "Kernel is tainted" line when booting Linux with proprietary kernel code is... hyperbole?!
Hehe, yeah.

Don't mod down GP though..
Like spottedkangaroo said, it's an euphemism. Synonym, that's pushing it.

They took our jobs1!!
Please, tell me you didn't mean it like that..

Touché

..has done it too, and I'm sure there were others. So why single out The Simpsons? Seems stupid, especially when outsourcing to NK.
