So, I see this as rationalization.

The fact is, you took a leadership position, and later turned your coat for reasons that perhaps made sense to you. But they don't really make sense to anyone else. So, yes, everyone who supported you then is going to feel burned.

You also made yourself a paid voice that was often hostile to Free Software, all the way back to the SCO issue. Anyone could have told you that was bound to be a losing side and you would be forever tarred with their brush.

So nobody is going to believe you had any reason but cash, whatever rationalization you cook up after the fact. So, the bottom line is that you joined a list of people who we're never going to be able to trust or put the slightest amount of credibility in.

And ultimately it was for nothing. I've consistently tried to take the high road and it's led to a pretty good income, I would hazard a guess better than yours, not just being able to feel good about myself.

Meh, it's easy to find people with skill. With values, OTOH...

You have a point.

Ok, so you know jack shit then.

I also suggest, as a starting point, reading the Church of England article as well.

And being a protestant myself, we definitely believe in the Holy Trinity.

You need to retake religious studies :) Seriously, your entire understanding of Christianity is wrong.

Catholicism is Christianity in entirety - it has essentially two main branches, Roman Catholic, and Protestant (or Church of England based Christianity, and also includes most other non-Roman Catholic Christian branches such as Baptists, Methodist etc, which are all offshoots of the CoE branch). But both sit under the label of Catholicism.

Protestants most certainly believe in the Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and while they believe Jesus was mortal, that forms the basis of being able to rise from the dead - his divinity after crucifixion comes from him conquering death and rising again. Oh, and they most definitely believe he is the Son of God.

Your idea of how salvation occurs is also completely broken for both branches of Catholicism - simply leading a good life won't get you any brownie points, you have to believe in Jesus Christ and the fundamental tenet that he died for humanities sins on the cross.

Supporting local business tends to increase local business, increasing local business. This is good for business. Do Korean shipyards get their ship parts shipped by Maersk?

Your assuming that the Nevada health and safety are the local health inspector(s). A group of people who may well hate burning man and have no downside to misinterpreting the regs.

Your assuming the volunteers scale in a linear fashion while accessing the same truck.

Perhaps the altruistic vendor wants to inflate their ego by having people wait for hours for their product?

This is a scenario where if you think you can do it better rent a freezer truck and buy some ice see how well you do.

You do realize that all laws are ultimately enforced via force? Anyways it's perceived possibility that keeps things civil not the employment of them. Lets remember that trolls tend to be social inept misanthropes, a simple glower IRL often sends them looking for an easier target.

The only limitations I've ever had with Windows on Apple computers are limitations *Apple* put in place.

Try this - replace the internal DVD drive on a 17" MBP with a hard disk:

1. Bootcamp won't allow you to install Windows on anything other the primary hard disk
2. The EFI firmware will specifically refuse to boot Windows on the second hard disk
3. The EFI firmware will specifically refuse to boot OSX on the second hard disk
4. The EFI firmware will specifically refuse to boot the Windows installation media from anything other than the internal DVD drive
5. The EFI firmware will specifically refuse to book the OSX installation media from anything other than the internal DVD drive
6. The EFI firmware will specifically refuse to allow the Windows installation to write to it, so Windows cannot set the boot partition

So these days I have a 10GB OSX partition on the primary hard disk which I never boot into, and the final act of doing all the installations was a fun case of swapping the DVD drive in and out.

I've never had anything like as many issues installing Windows on non-Apple hardware.

Nope, no fire sale, just a very busy store - seems it got busier after the Phones4U store next door to the EE store closed down. I was in the store perhaps 45 minutes, and the staff were never idle, there was a decent, steady stream of customers and probably a good 20 phones sold during that time.

And who said they were buying the "exact same product"? There was perhaps 7 or 8 different Windows Phone models on show, of which the Lumia 930 was but one - the rest of the Lumia range was represented, as were several HTCs.

You also know what they say: "Lies, damn lies and statistics". Pick any period before a new product launch and I bet you can show sales declining - the new flagship WP Lumia series was announced during Q2 2014, but not released until Q3 2014, and other Lumia updates didn't happen until later in Q3 or the start of Q4, so lets see what the sales results for Q3 show before declaring WP dead on the basis of the Q2 results.

The complexity will come in the outfitting, which for the two aforementioned Royal Navy carriers will come after the ship has been floated and moved out of the construction dock - however, even ignoring the outfitting of the carrier, I am still amazed that the Korean shipyard can build several copies of a much larger ship and deliver them in a time shorter than our shipyards can complete the hull of one single carrier (HMS Queen Elizabeth, laid down in 2009, floated in 2014, still being outfitted). Even going by first joining of major sub assemblies, the RN carrier took 3 years between that and first floating.
