Guessing he's a vegan with an agenda. Probably make a good study case for a paper on meatless diets increasing bad decision making.
I mean really, they already made the huge mistake of giving up tasty animal flesh, someone should study what other bad decisions vegans make.
Well, eating too much meat can constipate you. Then you go off to the john and spend a lot of time in there, which makes people think you don't want to spend time with them.
Similarly, eating too much fiber (aka - fruit) can give you a bad case of the runs, and the end result is the same.
That's the most politely-worded and voluminous "Fuck you, you're on your own" I've ever read.
Yes, it doesn't take long reading through their "responses" to learn it's nothing but a giant PR stunt set out to make it look like they're in touch with the people.
The fact that so many people are excusing this confirms to me my suspicion that this sort of behaviour is widespread in the Linux "community". And it makes me glad I'm not part of it.
Funnily enough when people pay for software they have more respect for it and the developers.
Based on what evidence exactly?
Listen, just because it's free doesn't mean we can't voice an opinion. That argument is just as bad as saying "If you have nothing to hide, then surely you won't mind the cops rummaging through your stuff for no reason." There's nothing wrong with saying we don't like it.
No, but there's everything wrong with abusing the people who are giving you the free stuff. It's the not so fine line between giving constructive criticism and being an ungrateful asshole.
Touche.
I will grant that when you get 6 inches of snow in Minnesota, it's not going anywhere until Februrary or March
Or in the case of this year June. The snow pile at the end of the parking ramp here at my work took until June 3rd to finally melt.
Late northern region snow melts was actually part of the problem with the Missouri River flooding, or am I wrong?
Piss off, Shuttleworth
If I was you I'd ask for my money back. Oh that's right, you didn't pay for it. The sense of entitlement and the ungratefulness of Linux users never ceases to amaze me.

Shuttleworth is talking shit. Unity is a GUI designed from the START for tablets.
Or maybe it is just a GUI mostly copying OS X. There are very few things in it that are particularly tablet-centric.
Oh God. Really? Can we get into any GUI without claiming it somehow copied something Apple? And did you even use Unity? For one, like it or not, it really is radically different than anything else I've ever used. It is also very tablet-centric with it's crazy large icons and more mobile looking interface (as compared to traditional desktop UI).
PS - I can't stand Unity.
Whether you liked it a lot or didn't, Apple made products that "work". They don't crash, they don't lock up, they don't keep their user puzzled how to use them. They made "computer stuff" usable by common folks.
See? I told you they had a great marketing department.
