Go home, Riccitiello. You're drunk.

This is a good point, or at least a specific example of a problem that is a good point... It started with GNOME and Canonical, but it seems like more and more OSS devs are getting into that same mindset of "Quiet, users, the devs know what's best for you" to justify an utter lack of configurability, while simultaneously smashing usability with idiotic changes like the above.

He didn't. He suggested that the names "LibreOffice" and "The GIMP" suck.

And, if we're being honest... they really do.

75 years of indoctrination might have something to do with it. Hell, half of the idiots spouting off about it don't even seem to know what the word means.

Provided you're willing to eat whatever shit Valve decides to throw into the TOS. If not, well, kiss "your" games, and your cash, goodbye.

Then it sounds pretty comparable to phpmyadmin, after all.

Not so sure about that.

This canard keeps getting brought up, and it just makes no sense.

Momma has to "recover from labor" and "can get exhausted easily?" Well, it's a damn shame that pop isn't treated like a parent instead of an ambulatory ATM, then, or he could be there to do some of those changings and feedings so that mom could rest and recover, isn't it?

You must be new to gender politics.

Not invulnerable. GGP mentioned not being able to "dock your ship."

Landing planes in Top Gun was an exercise in masochism.

Pretty sure they stole that idea from "Top Gun" on the NES, except that in Top Gun, the DRM was active even in "legit" versions.
