Comments on: The Scientific Method http://piestar.net/2010/02/21/the-scientific-method/ A pragmatic look at the state of FOSS Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:02:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lone Wolf http://piestar.net/2010/02/21/the-scientific-method/#comment-12629 Lone Wolf Sat, 22 Jan 2011 04:02:21 +0000 http://piestar.net/?p=381#comment-12629 FOSS has its place but it is not a be all end all. Paid software has advantages over free software (specifically: financial incentive to make the product better) however businesses tend to be more conservative and take few risks (for good reasons). People who make free software can take those risks and make crap software or make something new and unorthodox but good. Then there are people like me who can't afford paid software and have to use free software. Open source software has the benefit of helping programmers who don't have the time or skill to program something from scratch. FOSS has a place but is not and can not be a be all end all. Of course no argument will convince stupid socialist (not that I'm against socialism (I'm not), I'm against <em>socialists</em>) utopianist idiots. I apologize for the poor spelling.

Adam, you must be blind or dumb, and I'm sure it's the latter because if you were blind, chances are we would have never come across your trolling. You're too dumb to realize that Linux is "teh pwnage", but the community behind it is "n00b". Hopefully I've put that into vocabulary you know. Lol, epic.

Every request for kool-aid was met with electric shocks, every mention of the word brown resulted in a savage beating. We showed him multiple examples of linux working like shit, we're talking worse than windows 3.1 here (windows 3.1 had working sound). Nothing worked! In the end we just gave him a copy of windows 7 for free. Took about 5 minutes to take effect. An astounding success. Btw... We'll be seeing you soon Adam, real soon...

The illegal monopoly has successfully strong-armed him into switching his loyalty away from linux. I see little Thomas has turned into quite the winbred.
