FOSS should not be obsessed with the popularity contest of userbase size. It will only come back to haunt you in the end.
Like the man said, "The majority are always wrong"
Flash drives, memory cards are generally generic vfat devices... and i've never had an issue in several years.
Or perhaps your ubuntu install is screwed or you have misc hardware issues with your USB controller, but i've never seen problems on dozens of machines.
Yes, but then you could easily fall into the Reference by Implementation, which is fine for something that doesn't need to be implemented by different people... but is a disaster for something called a standard
Perhaps we should come up with a way to make this work in our favour.... instead of complaining... just raise money online and use the funds to bribe/donate to US Politcal representatives.
Well you don't seem to actually know anything about the thing you are criticising. Well done.
Out of the box a windows install is all but useless. Linux out of the box supports near on anything.
A long time ago in a desktop far far away... I used Opera. It was back on windows 98, and eventually XP for a short while and it was awesome.
I then moved to Suse linux about 4 years ago, on which I used Opera ok. Recently I've been running Ubuntu and Opera just doesn't work very well. To my mind it seems to be a threading problem...
I would love to know if anyone else had this issue. It just seems to buckle when a lot of things were going on at once, which is exactly where it excelled on windows.
I too take the bittorrent + perl scripts + rss feed escape route.
I refuse to pay a TV license simply because British TV has become extremely poor in the last 6 or so years.
There (with some excpetions) is a complete lack of creativity. What makes it worse, dumbass BBC policies mean they don't get to buy good new US TV. So this all gets aired on C5 and ITV4 were no one watches it.
BBC is now only good for radio 3 & 4 which consitently have quality output.
I bet if that jesus dude were alive today to see the ramifications of his tomfoolery, he would be the first to apologise and say he was only doing it for kicks.
Well your logic is askew...
There are specific laws that deal with the use case of a stop sign denoting exactly what to do. There are no specific laws relating to the use of CSS on DVDs.
It is true though. The daily mail is a journalistic cesspit.
It specifically generates (not reports) stories with the specific aim of creating a fuss so that its name will be syndicated on other news sources.
When this news is reported in other media outlets, they must then cite "The daily mail has said...." before the article because they have no real way of substantiating the claims themselves.
Well said for someone with expertise only in sales and management and clearly the technical capacity of a bumble bee.
Who cares if you don't think a company should use Open Source.
If you might allow me to somewhat anthropomorphically impose an opinion upon an abstract concept: Open Source doesn't care. If we assume corporations are legally individuals with a sociopathic need to make profit and thus process as many customers as it can then open source is a person who just doesn't care if you use or if you don't. So if you don't want to use it and have nothing to lend to the technical discussion... please stop talking.
Well they did say they would support linux at some point.
But then again this was back in the days before they even thought about doing a feasibility study on the proposed product. And when it would be about 200 squid.
I somewhat enjoyed The Island. Its exactly the kind of Sci-Fi I like.
However I honestly objected to paying to see the film. After they got out in particular, I don't recall a scene that did not involve me being sold something.
Here in the UK most of our TV adverts are more subtle about trying to push their products that "The Island" was.
Bay claims the made less than a $million in placement, but I don't believe him. Either that or the advertisers got a great deal.

Did I mean the "majority are always wrong"? I think i did.

Are you sure it isn't a hardware problem?
Flash drives, memory cards are generally generic vfat devices... and i've never had an issue in several years.
Or perhaps your ubuntu install is screwed or you have misc hardware issues with your USB controller, but i've never seen problems on dozens of machines.
And by external devices you mean?
Works perfectly well in DOSbox on MS's sworn enemy platform.
How is it such an achievement on a platform of their own design?
Yes, but then you could easily fall into the Reference by Implementation, which is fine for something that doesn't need to be implemented by different people... but is a disaster for something called a standard
pah, might as well just use telnet
I think the prevalent present argument is for the sake of "safety".
Should it be made a felony to bribe a politician AT ALL perhaps?
Perhaps we should come up with a way to make this work in our favour.... instead of complaining... just raise money online and use the funds to bribe/donate to US Politcal representatives.
And ipod look like a knock off of a technology that was around for years

tried wine?

Among many others. How can these even be considered? I don't understand it.It is true though. The daily mail is a journalistic cesspit.
It specifically generates (not reports) stories with the specific aim of creating a fuss so that its name will be syndicated on other news sources.
When this news is reported in other media outlets, they must then cite "The daily mail has said...." before the article because they have no real way of substantiating the claims themselves.
Ignore them at all costs.
