Why does the Linux Foundation force its website visitors to submit a form before they can read this report?
The LInux Foundation is pretty much out of touch with the community, it is basically just a self appointed manager circle jerk. Not understanding basic open source etiquette is a clear demonstration of that.
...It's a psychological barrier, not a technical one....
Spoken with supreme confidence by someone who has evidently never touched a line of kernel code. I can assure you that it is in fact a technical barrier.
...we can all believe that the 31.6 billion dollars his foundation has GRANTED since inception internationally is not much of a personal sacrifice in relative terms...
You're a bit confused. That is somewhat close to the amount the foundation was _endowed_ with, but actual grants are not remotely close to that. Skeptics point out that the foundation smells like a gigantic tax dodge... the money remains under Bill Gates' control with not a cent of tax paid on it.
Teach them to respect the law, just like Bill Gates

I'm a fan of not having my music ruined by crappy audio.
It's not only sound quality that's subjective, price is too
Sound quality is only subjective for posers. Otherwise, it can be accurately described in terms of frequency response, harmonic distortion, etc.
If you want to kick somebody's butt about it, aim in the general direction of Qualcomm, not marketing but engineering.
So you most probably overestimate your ability in power management. Think about what might be necessary to achieve a win from sprint-to-power-save, and why the phone you own might not implement that. Think about the whole system.
Video resolution is readily distinguishable from photo quality. If you don't care about that then go for it.
"Cameras don't take pictures, photographers take pictures."
A great musician playing on a honkytonk can't make it sound like a Steinway.
Do they even make f/8 lenses?
Most ultrazooms will be in that range at the long end.
Is the one you have with you at the time you need to take a picture.
...If you really enjoy wallowing in a sense of regret as you review the shots that is...
You don't need the newest generation of gear to do what you've always done. You can use the newest generation of gear to take photographs that you wouldn't have taken before.
The step up to 20mp+ full frame is really watershed, nobody will fail to notice the difference vs generations just 5 years ago.
...the longevity of the equipment keeps increasing. I'm currently shooting with a 5D Mark II...
The Mark III completely and utterly devastates the Mark II, so does the 6D.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
