How can it be me if MS Office apps tend to crash at regular intervals? I didn't add those crashes, I'm not a contributor to MS Office.

Absolutely nothing can beat Microsoft software at crapping out. They achieved their position with pure marketing and kickbacks. If those advantages are somehow countered there's simply no way Microsoft could be seriously considered for anything.

So what? It developed from language of Rus, and was forced to diverge from Russian by polish and mongol conquests. Now it's time for those languages to merge again. Also in India many separate languages are spoken that are derivative of Sanskrit. Does it mean India must be split too?

I'm fine with annexing it but my argument is that it shouldn't have made independent. There are other separate nationalities in other countries, like Occitan in France or Basque and Catalan in Spain and they're more distant from their countries than Ukrainian is from Russian. The fact that international community didn't object to Ukraine getting independent while maintained occupation of Aquitaine and others shows that it's not about nationality, but divide and conquer. And since Russians shouldn't let themselves get conquered they shouldn't let fake countries like Ukraine remain independent.

Ukraine shouldn't have made independent in the first place. People there have the same nationality as in Moscow-Novgorod region, only a bit of cultural drift due to Polish/Lithuanian/Mongol occupation. Since those powers can't occupy Russia anymore there is no need to maintain cultural differences anymore.

I experienced this new Doom only via a let's play. I don't play games that don't have a proper save system anymore.

So dark you can see jack shit. You can even compare it with old 1992 Doom because they included parts of its levels in easter eggs. They're so bright that you can actually see where you're going. And among 1992 games original Doom was pretty dark. If things will keep going like that then soon we'll have to be satisfied with game presenting us a black screen and calling it a day. Rendering black screen can be implemented to be blazing fast too!

It's because too few developers are too spread over all that irrelevant stuff like konqueror and pim. It's violation of Unix philosophy. KDE is trying to provide not only DE but also browser, PIM, shmillion of other things, while both browser and PIM domains require separate dedicated projects of the same sophistication as entire KDE.

The key moment here is not that there is no profit. The point here is that there is no activity that is subject to trademark law, thus there's simply nothing to pursue, thus no trademark dilution can occur.

Trademark law exists only to regulate trade of actual goods and services, using it to limit what sort of information people transmit free of charge to other people would be violation of freedom of speech. And possible donations are a moot point since they're not payments for goods and services. Sure from original author's point of view messing with their canon like that isn't nice, but it shouldn't be regulated by law.

Total potential amount of money doesn't matter. Only thing matters that those are donations. A way for people to vote with their money if they think that Nintendo makes too much crap and could use some good alternative artistic vision..

Well, they can't strip then of voluntary donations in any situation, but they can try to block new donations by asserting that defying trademarks in such a way is a form of terrorism :P

Me too. They should have an option for portage-based distros too. Or just have a single option for all linux kernel based oses.

Well, maybe democracy is a bad idea. At least its current implementation. The way things work resulted in perverse incentives which torpedoed government efficiency. This is what caused this rift between commoners and "elites" in the first place. Due to immense complexity of today's state machines it's not enough to elect someone who can fool people into liking him. There need to exist mechanisms to encourage actually competent (which is at doing their job, and not at convincing people they're competent which is a totally different skill) people to arise, and US's and UK's political systems clearly fail at that nowadays.

It's like with brexit, people will vote for Trump as a form of vote of no confidence to current establishment.
