I'm a dick because I save in.doc assuming that everyone is like me, slowing down business processes for other folks.
or how about this one:
I'm a dick because I make it practice to write software that doesn't enable clients to interact with all others, but rather limit them to the "ecosystem" that my company has engineered. I like to make claims that by using my "ecosystem" of software, their business processes are sped up. Rather, the truth is that I've not sped up anything, I've only slowed down business processes for those not using my software, and I get to call those people dicks because they aren't part of the bandwagon.

Yep. I do it this way, because Adobe makes readers for every OS. If someone wants to edit, I direct them to OpenOffice, which also works for multiple OSes.

It's called a development pipeline. Like linux stability and security? Shut your piehole. There is a QA process associated with all of that stability, and if it means that *when* there is a non-security related bug in an applications code, the fix gets tested accordingly so that it doesn't cause other bugs elsewhere, that's acceptable. Now, this assumes you are using a slow, lumbering, secure, stable linux such as Debian stable. If you want your bugs fixed instantly, choose to use CVS. You have that available to you. Tired of the lag of package compatibility testing? Use a distro that is more bleeding edge--Debian unstable, Fedora Core, etc. Change and stability are mutually exclusive. This article is lame. Sorry to rant, but you want to whine to open source developers, pay them to listen to you.
"I would further submit that America was far less chaotic in the good old days when big government wasn't so big, wasn't so invasive and tended to leave its citizens alone. It isn't necessary to have a government that restricts and monitors its citizens to the degree that ours is doing for the purpose of achieving a stable society."
What, like when Teddy R. starting shipping Japanese to camps, the gov. matched holiwood's stride in film-releasing by pumping out pro-war propaganda, and censored the media from airing anything that would give rise to negative opinions about the war; so that we could win no matter what? This is the level of sacrifice that those of the baby-boomer and post baby-boomer generation have not realized is necessary to uphold the freedom so lavishly offered since after WWII. We are in a war, both physically and culturally, and the sooner we realize it, the sooner we can win it and get back to our lavish lives.

"I love source code. I love reading it, writing it, thinking about it.
At Microsoft, I've had access to the source code for Halo 1 & 2, Internet Explorer, MDAC, MSXML, the.NET Frameworks and CLR, SQL Server, SQLXML, Virtual PC, Visual Studio, Windows, the Xbox and Xbox Live, and probably several other projects that I've forgotten about. Does it get better than this?"

That's retarded. As someone who spends a lot of time in the wilderness, the earth is VAST. It is no more delicate than the human society it harbors.
