The problem is that the Free OS vendors also charge a metric shitload. You seen the cost of a Red Hat Workstation license? It's actually more expensive than Windows! Red Hat Server? Also more expensive than Windows!
I think there IDE software is a 100x times above any thing open source can produce(Eclipse is a fucking joke).
Know what else is a fucking joke? The fact that you don't seem to know the difference between the words "there" (the word you used,) and "their" (the word you MEANT to use).
but Linux is no better.
The irony of shilling for Misrosoft for crack money is that if you didn't use crack, you wouldn't need to blow Seve Balmer for cash... as I'm sure you're aware, it's a viscous circle... get help.
No, the real irony is your tirade including how it's a joke that the poster you replied to (who is apparently the devil for having a differing opinion from yours- seriously, get a grip) doesn't seem to know the difference between "there" and "their" when you don't seem to know the difference between "viscous" (the word you used) and "vicious" (the word you MEANT to use).
The differance between linux and MS is price.
Spell Check is your friend. The DIFFERENCE is more than just price. Linux was built from the ground up as a freeware reimplementation of Unix, a multitasking, multiuser, security-enabled professional-grade operating system. Its strength and robustness are derived from people being able to review the code, and it's popularity owes much to the fact that its users know that they will NEVER find themselves in a position LIKE THE ONE THE UK FINDS ITSELF IN RIGHT NOW of having to pay ransom-money to continue using something THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY FUCKING PAID FOR. If Linus Torvalds retired, and said, "I'm not developing Linux anymore, I'm DONE!" enthusiasts would FORK it, and DRIVE THE FUCK ON. The life of FL/OSS software is dependent only on having enough competent, dedicated people willing to devote time and effort to creating and maintaining world-class software. CLOSED-SOURCE, "Security" (hah-hah-hah) through obscurity-based software like the garbage Misrosoft pedals and has the temerity to label "software" only lasts as long as it is in the best interests of the bottom line of the corporation that owns it.
And... well, Spell Check is your friend. You managed to misspell Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, "multi-user" (yes, it's hyphenated).
To be honest, the most harmful thing to the FL/OSS cause are... well, its advocates. Instead of extolling the benefits of Linux (of which there are indeed many), they spend the majority of their time decrying Windows as the hell-spawn of Satan (as you have done through your entire monologue). While I realise you were responding to a rather vitriolic rant yourself, replying with even more vitriol does not do yourself or your cause any good. So do yourself (and your cause) a favour. Calm down, and respond thoughtfully and respectfully.
No support (not even 3rd party) for XP, and Windows 8 is just short of an entirely differend OS. You call THAT continuity?
At least with Linux, you have the option of (banding together with a group of like-minded entities, and) doing your own support, until you decide it's time to retire you old software/hardware combination.
That's the real choice and freedom you get when you use Free and/or Open Source software.
When Microsoft EOL's Vista (possibly as early as a couple of years from now), the people who tore their hair out getting used to it, are going to have to tear their hair out getting used to whatever Microsoft is shoving down people's throats then -- irrespective of whether or not the Vista based systems they have are really ready to be retired.
Of course considering there is exactly zero large hospital-grade software on Linux, the freedom is kind of a red herring. Since apparently you'll have the freedom to not deliver on your core business. Hardly useful.
Actually, in neither case do you have the right to share them. You don't hold performance rights on the first (making it copyright infringement), and the second is outright CFAA material.
Only difference is in A, you have civil liability and B, you have criminal.
Isn't that technically already illegal, under "Conspiracy to commit X crime" laws? Deliberately soliciting someone to commit a crime is always illegal, is it not?
That's not actually true. The copyright in the recording belongs to you, but the copyright in the performance belongs to the person being filmed. The consent of both is required to further redistribute (hence why playing an audio tape in a restaurant requires two licenses - from ASCAP and the RIAA).
So no, the default under copyright law is that you are not entitled to share it further at all - unless monetary consideration was provided by you to the person being filmed, in which case the "work for hire" provisions take effect.
I am so darned split with the right to refuse gays service in Arizona for example! I find it deplorable to oppose gay marriage! People should have any right.But I want to start a business. I have every darn RIGHT to refuse service for ANY reason. I own it! Lets say someone was costing me more than I was making. Or makes an unreasonable offer which is below cost. I refuse. Now I get to be freaking sued as I later find out the customer is a lesbian. Just freaking great!
I hate lawyers with a passion and trivial lawsuits. So I fit in this camp with less is better until we get real tort reform.
That's not the intent of the anti-discrimination laws at all. In sane places, you are absolutely free to refuse service to anyone you want, as long as the reason that you refused service is not on protected grounds. In your example, the customer could not sue you because the reason you refused service is due to their undervalued offer.
Granted, this is not how the laws are always applied. And that's what needs to be addressed, not their mere existence.
My online banking passwords are case insensitive too. And both banks explicitly said it's intentional and they aren't changing it.
Then again, my Australian bank account is protected by a password which must be exactly 6 characters, case insensitive, and cannot contain special characters of any kind. Oh, and must be entered by clicking static buttons on the page.
If you're going to make installers on Windows, you should be doing it in WiX. NSIS, InstallAware, and other "native" installers need to go away, and the sooner the better.
If that were the purpose of life, then frankly homosexuality wouldn't exist... because nature would prevent it as it undermines what you claim is the purpose of life itself. But no; nature does not prevent it, and imposes that condition on what in the grand scheme of things is actually an awfully large amount of the population.
Unfortunately the proponents of the "mental illness" argument simply claim that the APA has been "infected" and removed it due to "political pressure", which is an expedient argument that you can use on virtually every viewpoint that disagrees with them.
Religious institutions did not invent marriage. It's existed for much longer than religion has, so... well, rather than repeating all your rant I'll just suggest you re-read it yourself.
I disagree completely with the entire premise of your viewpoint. You are essentially saying that the Bible tells people to turn their backs on their own nature, their very self, and conform to a very specific view of how humanity should be. A nature that, if the Bible is to be believed, is derived of God also.
A view, might I add, that is interpreted based on a book supposedly written thousands of years ago that has been translated and rewritten dozens, even hundreds of times.
Which is true - the Bible, or the Bible? There is a pretty severe case of cognitive dissonance going on here, and it is not on the part of those you believe you are "helping". Also, it's patently offensive that you believe that someone needs "saving" from their own nature - we're not talking about psychopaths or serial killers here, we're talking about people who cannot find themselves attracted to the opposite gender.
Of course then you'd have to artificially increase your Iodine intake, since Iodised Salt is where quite a lot of your Iodine comes from. (This is less applicable but still is so in countries where the natural Iodine quantity in the soil is higher).
It's because the file has to be decrypted on the client. Because the server doesn't know (nor does it want to know) the encryption or decryption keys (because then they'd be able to decrypt it, which they do NOT want). Use Firefox or Chrome and it will work just fine as they can handle the client side decryption and streaming the file down.

Or Gentoo, where all you get is seeds, and the ingredients list is simply a molecular analysis of each component.

And I'm relatively sure most people don't sign Model Release agreements when they let their SOs take those kinds of photos!
Key word: optional. It wasn't intended to prevent access unless you were on a LAN Manager domain and had policies in effect.
My online banking passwords are case insensitive too. And both banks explicitly said it's intentional and they aren't changing it.

Except you could disable that feature using Policies, and pressing Escape would result in an error message and another login prompt.
If you're going to make installers on Windows, you should be doing it in WiX. NSIS, InstallAware, and other "native" installers need to go away, and the sooner the better.
Except that OKCupid was the one advocating a boycott, and I don't think they even mentioned the words "Free Speech".

But no; nature does not prevent it, and imposes that condition on what in the grand scheme of things is actually an awfully large amount of the population.
No, clearly, there's more to life than that.
You're right, it is about time that was rectified... ... by removing repugnant bigots such as yourself from society.
Mexico.
Marriage, nothing. But as a dating site... well, you do the math. Encouraging relationships in general seems like good business sense for them.
If anything, Ashley Madison would be supporting gay marriage ;)
