So typical of assholes like you. It's not Linux that is noble, it's the GPL. Not only that, but if you release some code under the GPL then you must buy into Stallman's propaganda.

again with the name calling. the gpl is a restrictive liscence, and its restrictive for a reason. that reason is ethical, not practical. if you release code under the gpl, chances are you at least partially agree with his reasoning. if you dont, it would be total charity work, which is still altruistic.

And once again we get these mental cases that think some altruistic goal is the reason that people write open source over some "personal gain". It's about scratching an itch for one's self. Yeah, sorry to burst your touchy-feely, imaginary bubble of how the world works in your imagination.

scratching your own itch will determine what you work on. if you want to write an app, but dont want to totally give up your control over the code (which the gpl more or less requires), then why gpl it? that would make no sense at all. better to do shareware, where you at least have a chance in hell of getting a few bucks. even freeware gives you the oppertunity of changing your mind in the future. its not easy to sell something which anyone has the right to copy, modify, and resell.read the fsf website, they wrote the gpl and a great many of the tools that are used pretty much across the board in linux. aparently you dont know where free software comes from, im sure it would be an enlightening experience.

Look at all those GNU assholes that pirate mp3s and movies. I wouldn't want to hang around those people.

GNU is written by the FSF, which as ive mentioned several times already, is very big on ethics. i would be quite amazed of high piracy rates amoung people like richard stallman, who wrote quite a bit of gnu. the man gave up quite the career for his ideals. while he may be an asshole, he most definately is not a pirate. but ignorance is aparent in everything you write, generally those who resort to slurs are just trying to hide the weakness of their argument, or a lack of knowledge.

What, you don't the internals of your microwave? You are a complete moron.

so you are implying that the average windows user knows more about computers then the average linux user? and calling me a moron? linux is a hacker os, windows most definately is not.

Look at the unethical practices of an asshole like Richard Stallman.

such as?


Look at all the bad ideas in all that crap GNU, Gnome, KDE, and Linux software.

such as? if you want, i can give you several dozen things that make absolutely no sense in windows off the top of my head, but this is getting fairly far from the main points in my argument.

Most rational people don't want to be associated with morons that are part of a cult that is revolved around a software license.

let me guess, youre an american, right?

You are incapable of rational thought.
