I think someone needs to read a little bit more about Red Hat:

And ask themselves, how much have I given to Open Source?

Outside of homeless I am pretty sure most people would consider RMS crazy, most zealots are.

I agree completely. I have very large hands and a 4.7" is not a phone. I have a 4.3" phone and that is almost perfect but I could see where my SO would never be able to use it comfortably. All due complaints to Apple but I think honestly the 4" screen of the Iphone 5 is probably perfect for most hands. When I look at the Note 2 and the S3 and now Nexus 4 I am thinking to myself, how can I use this? I can only use it with two hands. That means it is a tablet, not a phone.

I want to change the resolution and I will tell you why. On 32" monitor, I can't read the text unless it runs in 720P of even 800x600.

Alright,

I can actually see a point to not taking Chemistry but a basic Biology course and Physics course should be required. You have to have a basic understanding of how the world works (scientifically).

This is entirely untrue. A manifesto isn't for existing members it is for new and potential members. So they know up front what they are getting into, very similar to a mission statement.

9.0 was the first version with replication, not 9.1 and we have had things like warm standby since 8.1.

Good point. That said, ATA hardware is really quite old. I don't know that it would hurt to say, you know what if you want to run 3.6 of Linux you aren't going to have an ATA drive. If they run to run ancient hardware, let them run older hardware (note I didn't say ancient hardware).

We shouldn't even be writing for ATA drives anymore. And any name brand manufacturer that you would trust (on a mediocre level) WD, Seagate etc... all support NCQ.

People complain about this all the time.

Just don't use the site.

Not to be picky, but Jack is NOT Bourbon. Yes, you really can tell the difference. You can even smell the difference.

Good lord.. since when... oh the 90s.... which were.... over a decade ago.

Wow...

I am not even sure where to start here except:

Linux Mint just works for me.

Ubuntu just works for me.

I have never had any problems with either, even running things like java applets, my web cam, music or... Yahoo Games when I want to play Cribbage with my sweety.

This is actually a very smart move. Microsoft has to pay DVD player manufacturers to allow you to play DVDs. Here is the thing.... in the next 18 months you won't see DVD players on most laptops. Heck mine doesn't even have a CDROM. Even my media center does't use DVDs, I just play an avi file or stream from netflix/amazon.

Further, you can always use VLC. This really isn't a big deal.
