What's that you say? The open source community can not be trusted in much the same way as a suit won't fess up to breaking wind in the elevator with 20 other potential wind-breaking suits?
What one man does is not representative of the group he's attached himself to. Look around you..you're arrogant, you didn't read the article, you're two-faced, and all this in real life! You know how I know?
The GP has apparently never used KDE/Gnome, who do the exact same thing and have valid reasoning to do so. I would suggest that he read the changelog after a major release milestone to realise why this software company might need / want to release an SP so soon after.
So what you're saying is that both oil and MS software is overpriced?
That, I believe, was a part of my original point; if you can't afford it and meet your needs at the same time, halving the octane is not going to make it attractive, simply because it's overpriced to begin with.
You must have China confused with America and Nazi Germany. You don't need 500,000,000 to watch the other 500,000,000, all you need in a Communist state is a big army.
you can't squeeze blood from a stone would seem to apply here. Despite what you've written, sit down and take a hard look at the insanity of spending money trying to find ways to extract said liquid from said stone.
The market simply will not support MS's software, despite the demand for it, priorities for the people are right where they should be. -Removing- features from a piece of software will not cause it to rise higher in the priority list, at least not in the same way as a sports car would cause youth in America to cut corners elsewhere to afford it.
It's ludicrous to think that a market of subsistence will bear an extravagance like crippled software. The fact that it is available for free, uncrippled, is irrelevant.

Hmm.
Should be informative but it's just funny instead..
If there was a Slashdot moderation for my feelings on this matter, it would be '-1, Sad'.
Consider the context of a complex situation that any administration has no hope in hell of correcting in their tenure in power.
In terms of effort and practicality is it more beneficial to keep the soccer moms feeling safe, or to actually confront the nucleus of the situation and solve it once and for all time?

You post on Slashdot.
Don't sweat it. With terrorism and obesity epidemics running rampant it's only a $50 fine nowadays.

Wrong.
They can't win, and the sooner they realise this, the better for ALL of us, **AA included.
It's $5/view.
Pay at the door.

At least until pronounced by William Shatner.
Are you speaking from a moral or legal standpoint? There's a wide disparity between them, they are not one and the same.
Well terminated! :)
Not entirely correct, they finally figured out that Windows is BAD for something.
In terms of effort and practicality is it more beneficial to keep the soccer moms feeling safe, or to actually confront the nucleus of the situation and solve it once and for all time?
If your PHB is reading, I'm sure you'll find out next Friday.
Well, that would surely separate the pretenders from the genuine, wouldn't it?
I'm serious man, I really am. Just try it!

-funroll-loops makes a BIG impact on this test. I guarantee that if you include it in the CFLAGS of the yellow one, it will hit the ground first.
Silly, a Beowulf cluster will run on ANYTHING these days. A fact, I'm sure, our peers would agree with.
Ah yes, in typical geek fashion, re-telling jokes garners a +x, Funny. :)

I wouldn't put it past them.
MS products don't degrade, they clusterfuck. So I guess he was accurate.
No, because "we" did it right.
No. Methinks they use backups instead.
