Because, you know, all your eggs, one basket, single point of failure etc.
I for one would love to lose my phone, cell and TV connection too whenever my ISP has one of their "little technical difficulties".

Seeing is believing. You see it working fine, so you believe it. I see flickering, tearing, a Unity 3D desktop that regularly explodes into shards, and occasional hard lockups, so I believe that. Installing the ATI binary driver solves my problem.
"pretty damn good" doesn't mean "free of bugs" and compared to the binary ATi driver it works significantly better (at least for me), supports all the latest fancy stuff (KMS etc.) and generally just does its job without needing special attention – pretty much what I'd expect from a driver. That there are issues is unfortunate but happens to any piece of software (I still occasionally get a corrupted mouse pointer).
The "works for me, you must be doing something wrong" attitude prevalent in open source gets tiring pretty fast, by the way.
Which I said where exactly? Loving the attitude, btw.
Huh? The radeon driver is pretty damn good these days.
Yeah, how about drinking water instead of concentrated weapons-grade diabeetus juice?
This, very much. Too bad I can't mod you.
I wouldn't necessarily blame this on the federalization, other countries (eg. Switzerland) seem to be doing reasonably well with a similar system. It would be interesting to see whether such a system could work throughout the EU and is IMHO a sine qua non for me to even consider joining that union.
Gah, sorry, I mis-modded your post and can't seem to find an undo button anywhere. I meant to choose "Insightful", not "Redundant".
Just posting to (hopefully) undo my moderation
Nice excuse. Too bad direct democracy works quite well in other places.
How do you "pirate" software? Are they talking about GPL violations?
lol, that sounds about right.
In my country the delay would probably be around a year plus there's a good chance that we'd have to watch a poorly dubbed German version instead of the original English thus there's really no other option except piracy.

Seriously?
My personal favourite is still farbrausch's "fr-08 - the product": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dcrV_7JpXQ
It was amazing "back then" and even today I still think it's highly awesome. All of that in 64k.
