No, what I said is the statement is untrue. You wrongly interpret that as defending against criticism and thus make the statement inarguable by any man so you - as a man - then would be unable to disagree with her statement without proving it to be true do you not see how silly that is? Now even if you did accept that interpretation you further manage to somehow misinterpret my statement to mean I am "extremely sensitive", where again you fail. Do you believe her statement to be true?

It's not being "obtuse" it's your failed grasp of the English language and inferences of things that are not there.

You are making a post defending men against criticism

Wrong, you are really having a hard time with your english comprehension. So let's dissect it to help you understand, first show me where I defended men (I'm not sure whether you are suggesting all men or some subset so you need to clarify that as well) against criticism.

It's sexist statements like this that cause a lack of sympathy in the first place:

One of the consequences is that men are extremely sensitive to being criticized by women

This is something that is simply not true of all men so why make statements like that? Do you really expect people to actively defend your cause if you are openly hostile to them just because of they are of the same gender as the people you have a problem with? That's a terrible start to conflict resolution.

Submission + - When Google Sells Your Data, It Might Be Illegally Killing Your Phone's Battery

Jason Koebler writes: Personal information about you and your browsing, email, and app-using habits is regularly sent between apps on your Android phone, a potentially illegal practice that could be killing your battery life. A federal judge ruled that the claim, raised in a class action lawsuit against the company, "requires a heavily and inherently fact-bound inquiry."
That means that there's a good chance we're about to get a look into the ins and outs of Google's advertising backbone: what information is shared with who, and when.

I don't know why you have this weird agenda of insisting that any Linux on the desktop (that isn't ChromeOS) needs to remain a niche.

It doesn't have to remain niche, but people won't change just for the sake of it, it needs to give people a reason to change.

You yourself cited FOSS desktop applications as something that people use, and that it doesn't matter what OS they use.

Right, but why would somebody switch from the incumbent operating systems?

It seems like either you're emotionally invested in being anti-Linux or you're just being difficult for the sake of it.

No, I'm not anti-Linux at all, you seem to not understand that you supplant an incumbent by differentiating in some way that consumers are going to say "wow that's so much better than what I have now". For example the iPhone vs Blackberry or the iPad vs the old Windows tablets. I'm a realist, I can see that that is what is missing in desktop Linux and that is the reason it hasn't supplanted Windows or OS X, it doesn't have a killer feature.

You have GIMP, LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Pidgin, Skype, Dropbox, VLC, Spotify, and an ever-increasing number of games offered through Steam. People who use those applications are not a 'niche'.

Agreed, but they all run on Windows and OS X too, so why switch to Linux? What's the killer feature?
