It's not agressive, it's the truth. I didn't wrap it up in fancy words or diplomatic blurb. It's bullshit, and it's hyperbolic bullshit. But apparantly all the 12 year olds with Ubuntu has mod points today, and I probably offended their religion. So it's not that big of a deal, but it's annoying to see how little it takes to get modded down when it's only the truth. I guess the truth hurts.
Nobody anywhere has claimed that this makes it harder to fix, or that it's a bad thing. It's just annoying hyperbole with no connection with regards to reality.
Fuck no, don't say that. You'll get modded troll and flamebait. Because the open drivers always work and never fail. Ever. It just works(tm).(See what I did there?)
That's what the text says though, or do you have a problem reading the quote?
and that means no Linux Wi-Fi problem for new devices and upcoming distributions at all.
Just do a quick search for rt2x00 bugs, they've been open sourced a long time, and still has plenty of bugs and failures. It's not magic, it wont' make all problems go away. Yet, that's what the claim is.
Oh, lighten the hell up guys, troll? Seriously? Just because I'm pointing out that the open drivers have their fair share of issues too? Open Source is not some magic pixie dust that makes the drivers impervious to mistakes, I'm very happy that it's open source because that means that I might be able to install Fedora on my IdeaPad without wrestling with the broadcom driver(It's sort of working now), but you can't possibly believe that open sourcing the driver will remove every issue with it?
Robberies (esp. with knives) aren't so common here in states where you don't know who's carrying a gun.
This is why you shoot eachother instead. That's so much better.
But I guess in states or countries where you're not legally allowed to defend yourself, that could be a problem.
Bullshit, countries with stricter gun control than the United States have less crime and fewer shooting incidents. Your laws help absolutely nothing, and you're much more likely to kill a family member than a criminal.
Take a step back,think about what you just posted, and get a life.
What kind of argument is that? 'Get a life'? This is not relevant at all to the case at hand. Even if I didn't have a life, it still wouldn't be relevant.
Considering what goes on in the world today, is "what Microsoft did" so deserving of your wrath and your feeling of injustice?
Considering how many of the criminals that get their funding via Microsofts incomptence and Microsoft creating an insecure monopoly in computers, I'd say they're guilty of quite a lot. What Microsoft did was hinder development and destroy innovation, who knows how far ahead we would be if Microsoft didn't come along? They had a propelling effect in the start, but that effect dwarves the stifling effect they've had on the industry since.
The guy does good philanthropic work, and his business practices never killed or maimed anyone.
I never claimed they did either, I said they ruined peoples lives. You can do that without kill or maim, it's enough to drive someone out of buisness using underhanded tactics. Which Microsoft is a master at. http://web.archive.org/web/19991115213922/http://www.vcnet.com/bms/departments/dirtytricks.shtml This is just a few things, Microsoft has a long history of dirty tricks. And like Darl McBride, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer should serve hard time. However, the United States prefer to reward sociopaths and law breakers. For some insane reason. Why aren't people brought to justice for the shit they pull?
Fuck Bill Gates. I don't care how much money he gives out, he has singlehandedly brought an entire industry to a standstill and ruined the competetive marketplace with his buisness practices. He has broken laws and destroyed lives, he fucking owes society. If there was any justice in the world, this man would be in prison.
Yeah, maybe we should apply some good ol' American punishment and just have them executed? Jesus, they're kids! Why should relatively innocent mistakes made when you're young haunt you for the rest of your life?
Yeah, if only there was some sort of system they could base it on, that their engineers has been working with for a while. Too bad there aren't any operating systems out there besides OS X and Windows...
Apple does not claim it is accidental damage coverage, and it's specified in the agreement that comes with the APP that it does not cover accidental damage. You do know how to read, right?
To get any sort of support and replacement you need to goto an Apple Store.
Wrong again, in Norway for instance, there is no Apple Stores at all. Yet, there are repair shops that are authorized to repair Macs. All you have to do is find an Apple Service Provider and they can fix it for you.
No "you keep the drive" support option.
Buy a new one then, if your data is so important to you and you believe you can save it, then buying a new drive is not expensive.
The new one too had overheating issues, but at least wouldn't randomly shutdown
If it's not shutting down when 'overheating', then it's not overheating.
I don't need a citation, because I was stating an opinion. I have an IdeaPad with a broadcom wireless chipset in it, that never installs right. Also, after they've included nouveau in the standard distribution, installing the binary driver is a headache. And sometimes it just continues to load, even if you blacklist it and remove it from the kernel line in the grub config. You might think the nouveau driver is great, but for actual use it's not. In fact, it wasn't even able to set up a simple dual screen config on my machine. If proprietary drivers in Fedora are easy for you, that's just great for you. Oh, and before you ask: Lenovo has been so kind as to make a whitelist of supported wireless chipset and fails to boot if you replace it with a non-approved card. I've tried various patches to get around it, but no luck. So until I can buy a new one with actual Linux-support, I'm stuck with doing the best I can with my machine.
I don't have the exact quote handy nor do I remember who exactly it was who said it, but someone from Red Hat did indeed say they weren't interested in the desktop several years ago.
This bullshit needs to stop, that's twisting his words.
And why with all that head start is Ubuntu more popular today than Fedora?
It might be because Ubuntu isn't based in the US and thus can integrate tools to get patented software codecs easier installed. They've also made it easier to install proprietary drivers, which is always a mess in Fedora. So, the difference is Red Hat actually does open source and is rather fundamental about it, while Ubuntus morals are more flexible.

That's probably a couple of years behind, actually.

They've had a binary driver out for some time, I'm using broadcom-sta on my IdeaPad.

Yeah, because the drivers with source code always works flawlessly. What a bunch of bullshit.
Mr. Ballmer, you are definitely not proof that there aren't monkeys at Microsoft.
There were stickers out before the release of the system? "Over a decade" seems somewhat ambitious when the system was released in 2001...

If I had moderator points, I would mod you up. USB for anything else than simple peripherals is a joke.
No, I didn't really have any problems shooting it..
Yeah, maybe we should apply some good ol' American punishment and just have them executed? Jesus, they're kids! Why should relatively innocent mistakes made when you're young haunt you for the rest of your life?
I get modded troll and nothing on this one. That's great mods, high on crack today or something?
Yeah, seriously, burn.
Unless you have two monitors, in which case, wine is shit and steam runs like crap.
If the party that is accused of rape is aquitted, then he/she must prove that the accusee did so maliciously.
