Whoops. Sorry, was replying to some private messages about this request. Gonna logout now. Thanks.

Just to be clear, the nick is not the only reason.

I'm going for a fresh restart, probably with my Launchpad nick.

This nick is music-related and makes no sense in this forum.

And this is not your usual conspiracy theory, it's an official statement from Google.

I have high hopes for this being a severe blow to the *AA.

No, that is a straw man. Gnome has to depend on something. If I were to follow your logic, then right now Gnome "discriminates" against people who don't like C and Ubuntu "discriminates" against...

Hmm, that's a little bit subjective... in my opinion it's common.

But this is getting too off-topic.



I don't fully agree (see above) with your reasoning, but I have no reasons to fight for...

Oh, great. I feel like Judge-Mental now. (only a joke, don't take it seriously)



I stand corrected, then. But anyway my point stands, something is being compared to poison.

I sympathize with those feelings, but notice that, semantically, there is nothing technically wrong with this usage of the world. Its formal meaning, found in dictionaries, is not being violated. If...

The discrimination in question is not as much about "not including Mono" as it is about "replacing a software by an inferior alternative for the sake of not including Mono". Fedora removed Tomboy and...

Good Lord, mickie, stop reading BoycottNovell.

I'm guessing it will be a system where people choose to pay, not are forced to.

The amount of people who can pay voluntarily is higher than most people think.

Though the current context is about the possibility of a Microsoft-independent Mono, it's interesting to remember that Miguel de Icaza was dreaming precisely about Silverlight being the ultimate...

I agree. I used to be on the "Mono will be always behind" boat, but then I realized that even if Microsoft made the improbable act of dropping support to C#, it wouldn't change the fact that C# is a...

It's not difficult to understand the corporate reasons behind not supporting a platform and discriminating against its users. What zekopeko is asking is why you admire Red Hat for doing so. They are...

Old and mentioned several times before, but I always smirk when I see it.

The smile seems to say "Porsche and mugshot? I am so going to get lucky tonight..."

Oh, of course! The basis for trusting SRWare over Google is this info from the SRWare site.

Wait a minute...

mickie.next,

if you mentioned the free software definition, then I suppose you've read it.

Then how come you've missed this page in the same site, which is linked quite explicitly in the third...

He's probably more interested in opinions coming from the average Ubuntu user perspective. Even if the blog author does not have anything against Ubuntu either, the difference between a regular...

The main point of the user interface freeze is not obsoleting documentation screenshots and translations to the point of them being unhelpful. Small tweaks to button positions, a thicker border here,...

I completely agree with the OP. If this was an alpha release with months left to tweak it would be acceptable.

But since Lucid is already officially released and nothing can change anymore...
...

GOOD LORD.

The zombie rises AGAIN.

+1 to the "as long as SuSE/Mono/Moonlight stay around I don't care" comments already posted.

I'm noticing that whenever I write long paragraphs, you seem to focus on just one part and ignore the other. So I'll keep the words at a minimum from now on and go straight to the point.

...

You said it well: in your opinion. The problem is that "light" is a subjective term and does not have a formal, scientific definition set in stone.

Policing Canonical to make sure they contradict...

Focusing on specific software is missing the point. The idea is that in Ubuntu you won't find things like "Norton 30-day trial" or "HP Help and Support".

And my main point was that we are sure to...
