I believe you're wrong. The vast majority of "linux users" don't buy into RMS's particular ideology. RMS proactively describes the differences between the OpenSource and "Free Software" philosophies.

Canada and most of Western Europe doesn't have the protection of freedom of speech that is embedded in the U.S. constitution. In particular, things like "hate speech". I believe Canada has the same insidious problem that many western Euro

Whatever floats your boat. I bet you would be happy using notepad to write Java too. Eclipse might be Yugo, but using Emacs to write Java is like using Fred Flinstone's car. Hope you got thick callouses ;)

And if every plugin was supported in the community edition, they would be out of business.

Eclipse has suffered from plugin hell from the beginning, and probably it's biggest failing.

It seems that the Windows group at Microsoft has a lot of pull , doesn't like the managed stack, and that's why we're seeing a lot of "native is back" and C++ article on Microsoft-centered sites. If that's the case, I wish Microsoft would b

That's a bizarre comment. No need for conventional weapons, because you can just nuke people?

by Roybatty 14y ago
Or you can look at it as a weapon that protected free people.

I should be surprised that a HN reader is falling for this guy's trick, but I guess I'm not. "Oh and look at how the military is using these hacker kids with neck beards who part-time as assassins in between their Battlefield 3 matches" I g

am i wrong in thinking in the Common Lisp thinking that data and methods don't belong together? In production environments we at least have extensions methods in c#, but man i still love generic functions in CL style. Why am i wrong?

We need to start discussing about OO in general. We have a generation (or two,three in internet time) that think that OO is the epitomy of software engineering. We have Haskell, Ocaml, and others that can do better

You're not a liberal, you're a leftist...a big difference. We've seen what your kind has done to humanity in the last century. Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, Castro... You leftists are revolting to humanity.
48.
by Roybatty 14y ago
Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, you and others. You're sick in the head and immoral. Anybody that believes in freedom hates you.

That's just your opinion that having children when older is harmful to society. But what I consider more harmful to society is this thinking that every single individual action has to be weighed against the "benefits of society". This thi

As much as I hate it (I'm a PC gamer..hate not having a mouse), the consoles have taken a big chunk out of the PC gaming market. That's just fact, whether you or like it. The "entire world" doesn't really matter. If some dude in Somalia h

He might have not said that it's a zero sum game, but you effectively did - "He's just saying that a small amount of people helped themselves to a (too) large piece of the pie"....pie being the keyword here

Those who downvoted you won't be happy until we've devolved into playing Zork-like text adventures and using Lynx. HTML5 will become like Flash/Silverlight ;)

Yes, and Steve Buscemi will proclaim, "this is GNU/RMS/Linux..I know this", right before they destroy the asteroid.

Socialists think free speech is overrated.

Of course not. We know that Obama and Nancy Pelosi know how to spend our money better than we do.

And most people don't measure wealthy by what some dingbat socialist says.

And you leftists continue to lie and say it's free when everybody knows it's not.
