I broke my Ubuntu and I'm going to reinstall (was going to do it anyway).

I want to export or back up my theme/appearance settings. The "Save As" option in the Appearance menu just saves it...

Hey I dropped some of my extra Sense-Of-Entitlement around here. Anyone seen it?

Huh?

What are you talking about?

I swear the fanatical Windows-Hate of 80% of Linux users gets more and more absurd every day.

Beta Testing is usually free. They aren't doing anything...

'Tis a foolish endeavor.

Then again this board is full of altruist save-the-world types so, do what you will. I just think that someone who actually follows a rule like that is a waste of time.

Nothing. Find smarter friends.

Any programs available that will let me rip the audio from a video?
For some reason I can no longer record the sound straight from Audacity.

Nice attempt to make it seem like a question of parental competence. You can reframe it as much as you want, but the results speak for themselves.

And the real world will be a lot harder on any...

Do you have kids?
They are people, but they aren't adults. They are impulsive and frequently irrational. They haven't developed the mental capacity necessary to understand things the way adults do,...

When I was a teenager and opening up my first bank account, I got into a bank where the account agent did not tell me about the monthly fees until I was almost done setting it up. I told him to...

That's not a valid rebuttal. The responses you quoted make perfect sense.

Am I really alone here on this????
HOW IS THIS AN ISSUE OF FREEDOM?????

Why do you think the decision rests with you whether my work has a price tag on it? If I made a thing and and I'm selling...

How is copyright law oppressing you?

I don't think you know what oppression and hardship really means. Not being able to download things without paying for them is not oppression, that's one...

So really it's about imposing your own moral code and political doctrine in the end huh? It's not about reform or right or justice at all, it's about "revolution"?

Nice.

The phrase "Linux For Human Beings" refers to the ease of usability of Ubuntu. The fact that I have to explain this to you is very telling.

No one is trying to control you or what you think.
Sure current copyright laws are a joke and need reform, sure the big companies are corrupt and should crash of their own obsolescence, but that's...

You either are trolling, or completely misread my post.

Read it again.

Computing for human beings doesn't mean "Break laws and act pompous and self-righteous about it, and obfuscate the issue...

This is true. But the thing is that FOSS developers typically choose to give their stuff for free, and most torrenters are so used to getting things for free they have come to believe the decision...

Yeah I hate it when things go well and as I planned them.

This is ridiculous and you know it's ridiculous. All of these disgusting pro-piracy arguments always rest on 2 things:
1. exploitation of legal and technological technicalities.
2. the belief that...

I don't get why you think that this is okay.
Why do you think you have the right to something merely because you exist?

I know I know, believe me, I know how shady and cartoonishly nefarious...

That's the problem with a fiat money system.
I think those on this thread with half a brain should read up on the production-based economic system that was being set up in Germany half a century...

So in your system wanting more than others have or not wanting to work as much would be a crime/sin. So basically I have to sacrifice my personal self-driven urges for the good of the collective.

LOOK OUT EVERYONE. SERIOUS BUSINESS COMING THROUGH.
Thanks for letting everyone know that Open Office is just a big gag, and your general low opinion of Free Software.
