There is also the failure to have OLE across Qt and GTK, which has so far only been solved by disparate hacks in specific applications, and only works for certain cases.
Um, what? I've got a Qt4 music player running right now that uses Gnome's notification-daemon to display popups. Things have moved on a lot since the days of whatever you're referring to. We even have this nifty "LC_ALL" thing to set the language across all apps...
The GPL is nature's way of making Linux similarly attractive.
The GPL isn't the reason why people use Linux (barring a small handful of nutjobs, the type that make up a significant amount of BSD users). People use it because it's better.
You get that with git-svn too, plus the ability to do a "status" command on a 2GB repo in seconds instead of minutes, plus the fact said 2GB repo would be twice the size as a plain SVN checkout.
Most songs these days aren't worth $0.0017. In fact, why aren't the artists compensating me for the undue stress caused when I hear their manufactured pop puke on a radio?
I've got an external USB drive that I want to use with FreeBSD, Linux, Windows *and* OSX, and the only usable common filesystem between them is the horrendous FAT32.
As posted above, if they sue Gnome/KDE for this, the first thing that'll happen is that it'll be split into an "unofficial" patch and then applied by every single distro out there. They'll go bankrupt just filing lawsuits.
For real fun, try running a Rails app where it's deployed to an NFS filesystem and then try to run the app via CGI. You can see how well it's 'optimized'.
Anyone running a performance-sensitive webapp over NFS as a CGI application doesn't know what they're doing. Regardless of the programming language.
If overclocking is the cause of so many of these problems, why hasn't Intel or AMD got a mechanism to tell the OS that the hardware's being run out of spec? The blame for these crashes should be directed where it belongs - with the -funroll-loops ricers.

Has anyone ever thought of using lossless JPEG2000 or 16bpc PNGs for this? You might be shifting the bottleneck to the CPU, but still...
He forgot to capitalise BUSINESSWEEK though!

Suppository.

4 Xnest servers + 4 copies of Quake 3. Job done. Windows is still living in the GUI stone age.
Maybe his kidneys are worth something...
I think that's videophile-ese for "I don't have an 800 watt pissing contest with 12 fans under my desk".
$30 billion for building, bombing or bailing. Your logic is that they're all equal in the end.
That is what caused the current mess, nothing else: fucked up people who think the only thing that matters in the universe is money.

Con Kolivas has been right from the beginning! (just google and you'll know it).
Fixed that for you.

Tried UDF lately? Or does BSD not support it?
You don't actually have any clue how OpenID works, do you?
They're probably surprised the other planned obsolescence features had failed to activate.
Support RPM? Apt? Tar? Compiled sources?
What business do you have in knowing what format the distributions package your programs as?
How's this for reinventing the wheel?
the total amount of IPv6 address space in use is just 0.027 percent
So how many is that, in quadrillions?

Stick this in your userContent.css:
Yeah, and then you're gonna be over there figuring out what happened when they do a version upgrade and it not just breaks, but shatters to pieces.
So install 8.04 then and set it not to show non-LTS upgrades.
But... does SAP come on a boxed CD-ROM? At least that's combustible!

Normal people won't know what the hell a "MIPS" is. Give it to them in terms they'd understand:
"I'm a Mac, a PC, a mobile phone, a radio station, a movie studio, the Internet, your modem, ..."
