Oracle can't retroactively take away the source code, so no. The parts that are free software will forever be so, and the other distributions can pick up development. Red Hat would probably love to spit in Oracles soup if possible.
Apple has put more money and developer time into opensource than most GNU/Linux vendors...
The tiny open source bits in Darwin is completely dwarfed by Red Hats developers, code, and the fact that they have bought stuff like netscape directory server and made it open source.
It took me a whole 2 seconds to find that page via google. He got his own condescending tone in his post, with this part:
I'd love to see where HP publicly advertises they support Debian, under what sort of SLA and at what price.
Implying that this sort of thing does not exist, and Debian is nowhere near supported by HP, even if a quick google search can turn up that they actually have built their software and services around Debian in addition to RHEL and SLES.
Also for some reason, he thinks it's funny. He just took some clueless salesperson at HP for their word, instead of doing the research and now he's taking pot shots at people who actually did their job in researching this.

I'm sure they also support it since they've got drivers and software for the distro. I didn't bother looking for prices and stuff, but I'm certain you can put on your big boy pants and figure it out yourself. If you _really_ wanted to know.
Canonical has received some flack in the past for not contributing enough upstream. Greg Kroah-Hartman was especially vocal. Are you co-operating more with upstream sources and the kernel.org guys?
Why did he get modded down when that is pretty much it in a nutshell?
Because every console manufacturer uses PowerPC you fucking idiot. It takes fuck all effort to research this, so why his moronic dribble, and your fantasticly idiotic post got modded above -1 "God Damn Moron" is beyond my comprehension. Whenever I see one of your posts, I just automatically assume it's full of stupid bullshit.
You are the worst two-faced Microsoftfanboy to ever pollute the waters of the internet, I sure as shit hope your sorry ass didn''t reproduce.
Oh yeah? Wake me up once they get around to releasing Episode 3. So far I have surpassed Valve's ep3 revenue by about infinity percent.
This has nothing to do with the original argument. It went from "they're not gonna make money off Linux" to "Boo hoo they haven't released EP3 yet". You are aware that they have other games?

Yeah, all those people out there using Macs know that it's really a mix of FreeBSD and various other software underneath... Or do they?
Yes. The game with overgrown cows, wolfmen, dragons, elves and spacesquids clearly went over the top with pandas.

I was just imagining a non-tech person going "They want a fucking Oracle?!"

The server farms are already a cost, the extra burden of amazon to host ebooks are virtually none.
Now how about Novell/SUSE and Canonical?
Maybe not "idiot", but certainly not anything nice: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/2/303
Isn't iOS and Mac OS X *nix based?
Is he the tool on the left?
Oracle didn't block java, you tool
Hardware get's an upgrade, how surprising.

Do you have some sort of example, or are you just throwing out vague strawman arguments?
Steam is already on its way to Linux, just the stubborn morons at Blizzard not wanting to port.
Are those real or ESRs inventions?
Or else he'll post ad-hominem personal attacks about you on his blog. He is the sole reason I migrated away from Fedora to Ubuntu/Debian.
What happened?
You obviously haven't used the shitfest that is OS X to anything remotely more interesting than iPhoto.

I don't really see how it's remotely possible she "can't tell where the windows went".
There is a bug in Unity where the window sometimes disappear when minimizing.

No problem. We'll just count Linux on routers, set top boxes and all other embedded platforms they exist on then.
