You're making the assertion here, you show how it's true.

i swear there is no sense to be made in there. there's no point beyond trying to ridicule opensource. i honestly believe you wrote that, making high pitched voices. next time, try to make an comprehensive argument.

i'm out. see ya, tex.

Do they still qualify people as psychiatrists after they take one or two psych courses?

Oh, but proving negatives is more fun! Almost as entertaining as "debating" with sarcasm and obtuse metaphors.

Pass the popcorn, the zealotry is just heating up!

Wait, so you've suddenly gone from wide, general attacks to something very, very specific. Please, keep a consistent line here or you'll lose people.

Realize also that the N900 is pretty much directly descended from the NITs with a cellular modem added and has NOTHING to do with Symbian. If you ask me, it is and always has been what the NITs should have been.

I mean, you can ***** at Nokia for their poor handling of things but that has nothing whatsoever to do with open source software.

YHL, HAND.

As a matter of fact, yes, I do, especially if they are doing so solely to not pay for a real car and so leave a chip in the economy.

They are both making software to make money. That is all that matters. Hating on closed corporations is simply hating on the competition for naive reasons, which is childish at best.

It's not even an assertion. it's history. painted in a cute little story to make the big business world more easy to understand for the people who apparently don't.
