Some mod woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I found parent to be mildly funny and ontopic.

On a related note, does anyone else feel it should be pronounced electrovolt?
IAAP and I understand that that's not what it is, but it sounds far cooler, and isn't that what the LHC is all about?

Well Acer offered me 40 euro for vista a month ago, but said I'd have to pay them 50 to remove it.

Consumer rights are fairly low on the agenda here so third party help wasn't much use and so I have one tasty vista license to cover my Arch and Ubuntu installs.

Life isn't fair, software licensing doubly so.

I, too, will bite.

The network is fine, since it has a lot of users. The application is a shining edifice of awful.

Or the above used to be the case. In the last year or two an awful lot more people have started using google talk (mostly on their gmail) so the network became unnecessary. The application itself got worse, it really is a polished turd now with all the Live crap.

And btw my uid yours.
You just lost that one :)

You're neglecting the fact that an awful lot of FOSS comes from Europe, where we can disable DRM, ignore software patents, etc.

Whether or not I've violated a software license also has no bearing on whether or not someone else has. Your English and logic make me cry.
