How would your GPS suggest that when the street does not exist and is a dead end? You wouldn't try to find the street, it does not exist, and the GPS would never route you through a dead end.
This is what Debian did with 'Etch'n'Half', in the 4.0 'Etch' stable distribution, going from 2.6.18 to 2.6.24, which was alarming because, in their words:
Not really, those packages were completely optional. I'm guessing the first question when you try to get support from Novell is "Have you tried upgrading to the latest version?"
So it's not the same, it's actually a rather poor comparison.
Just imagine the outcry if Microsoft banned all other development environments than Visual Studio and.NET from Windows.
Not quite the same there cowboy. This is more like akin to Microsoft banning all other development environments with regard to developing for Windows Mobile, and that's Microsofts wet dream.
And in a war on openness. Adobe kicks Apple's butt. Heck, let's look at Adobe versus Apple.
This is pure bullshit.
Apple - iCal Server is Open Source
Apple - Darwin is Open Source
Apple - WebKit is Open Source
Apple - LLVM and Clang
Apple - Darwin streaming server
Apple - Launchd
Apple - OpenCL
Apple- libdispatch
They're certainly more open than Adobe, a company that overcharges for their software as long as they can.
I don't know how you work, but I get paid for the results I achieve in a certain time. They don't pay me for my time, as that's relatively worthless to them.
No one has disputed that, however. Red Hat _is_ profitable, and your point is somewhat... Missing. Add to the fact that Red Hat had to attack a market where Sun, IBM and Microsoft had the stronghold and that they are profitable and growing, just shows that free and open source software is indeed profitable. No matter how you spin it, Red Hat is profitable, even if Oracle is more profitable, at the moment.

The other companies that are getting their components from Foxconn? Are they doing anything?
Yeah, that whole certified UNIX-thing is probably because of the 'minor' foundation. OS X IS UNIX.
Creating software while influenced of LSD could never be any.. Oh wait.
Horseshit, there are several places you can put a dead end that wouldn't interfere with the flow of a GPS. No matter how alarmist GP is.

You mean there are actually people out there using the fullscreen mode for browser? I thought that was just a fairytale told to scare me..
Yes, your anecdotes of your personal life is great evidence. Keep up the good work. Care to prove that GNU/Linux has 100% marketshare as well?
Amiga?

Wow, an actual PSP owner. This is like seeing Nessie.

Why? It's not like he stole a phone or anything like that..
Luckily Sun isn't owned by.. Oh wait.
Nobody wants to know what Steve Ballmer has to say about anything.
No. Because Kirk is played by an awful actor, and because Star Trek is a joke.

Next you're gonna tell me that Santa Clause isn't real either.
And then IT has to fix the god damn mess the regular guys made.
I've always wanted encryption-software from people who can't write a fucking uninstaller properly.
I always do

Stop giving these people ideas, please.
Torvalds has switched to GNOME.

That has nothing to do with wether Red Hat is profitable or not.
