There is no "best career", there is only the career that you find most rewarding, I love my job, but it would be a nightmare for some.
As for doing something you love, be careful, I know a few...
Disagreeing with an FSF petition is not the same as being in favour of proprietary software. The reason why I would try to persuade anyone to have nothing to do with anything that comes from the FSF...
RBarak (where does that come from by the way?), it's great that you like Ubuntu, Linux is indeed fantastic and Ubuntu is a great distro, but using Linux isn't about not using Windows, it's not about...
Professional quality CAD software.
I would so love to see good quality CAD software available for Linux.
I know there, try that is an e-mail address ****@orange.es
correo.orange.es
You could try that
So wait, is Ubuntu only for people who hate Windows?
This could actually be a good thing for Linux in the end, the idea that linux is somehow magically immune to any kind of attack is incredibly harmful.
Maybe now people will start taking security...
First of all, talking about "microsoft garbage", "windows crap" and "*******" isn't big, isn't clever and doesn't really impress anyone.
Secondly if you didn't want Windows why did you buy a...
But this is the problem, many claim exactly that. How many times have you heard stories of people evangelising about Linux and telling prospective users that there is a replacement for anything you...
If you are used to Windows then you can do almost everything that you have been used to doing in Windows, although not always in the same way, whether the way you will do it in Linux is better or...
The "words to that effect" would actually have been something along the lines of :
<application> is requesting permission to:
Access my basic information

You need to understand that no matter how many neck bearded bleeding hearts are around pushing free software there will always be someone who can see a buck to be made.
Even if there had been no...
I have an HP photosmart which said quite clearly on the box "Windows 7 ready - some advanced features may not work". Who would have guessed that printing was an advanced feature?
Have tried...
It is possible to use less if people get away from their addiction to paper copies. Too many people print, stamp, sign and file documents in hard copy because "that's how we've always done it".

I love the fact that a huge cult of zealots has been built around something, the creator of which thinks that all the followers are just a bunch of idiots.
If only Linus would just toe the party...
All free software is open source, but not all open source software is necessarily free.
Could this not have a bit more of an airing in the cafe before being shunted back here? There are some very interesting points being raised.
Probably worth clarifying, open source simply means that the source code is available to be viewed, free software means that the software is licensed in a way which allows the source code to be used...
Free and opensource software is fantastic for many applications, but the model does not suit every type of software.
Where I disagree with Stallman and his ilk is that he would have you believe...
Hi Hyper Tails, with the best will in the world all that you will get here (or on any other forum) is either someone's opinion of how each one suits their particular needs or someone puching their...
A month of sunshine in Manchester, who are you trying to kid? :D
Congratulation gerowen (and mrs. gerowen)
The problem is that the Linux world might be big enough to encompass both but the distros which try to do both usually end up doing neither well.
It's not only OK to think about aesthetics, it's...
How is it elitist to point out that a spinning desktop cube serves no practical purpose? And as for Linux users having negative views of Ubuntu views of Ubuntu, it is exactly because of nonsense...
