First of all, Linux violates 0 patents in my book til Microsoft at least specifies them. Then maybe we can talk about whether or not the present tense "violates" and not "potentially violating" is accurate. Secondly, even if that is true, d

Can someone who has experimented with re-pricing their product explain the legality of it? I mean can you offer different prices to different customers at the same time? Or do you have to globally shift your pricing? Also, where would you l

Okay, how about this: build a Linux distribution using no GNU software. If you don't think it's critical, try to get by without it. RMS is a good guy, and I think that his effort to make foundational efforts remembered is equally laudable.

Dude, no. I think he was talking about how you can't tell how the size of the user base of a language is affecting the ranking. So, for example, only 1% of all projects could be in Java, but the swearing could be frequent enough to make it

Really? This is kind of like some sort of weird time warp, and the Yahoo mentality of "curating" the internet is back in fashion. Which is weird, because Google came to power because that strategy doesn't work.

Isn't anyone else kind of bewildered by this? I mean this is kind of like if a kid pissed all over the floor in wal-mart, and when you notified an employee about it they gave you a mop to clean it up yourself.

If they were actually competing to differentiate themselves, wouldn't they have issued android os updates to their users phones in a reasonable time frame? And not ship phones with outdated versions? I mean I really just want a manufacturer
