actually, although the above is clearly meant in the sense if irony.
I take it literally and agree with it.
didn't cry a single tear about the adaptec shit either.
my laptop has some silly 3com softmodem, which is not supported and
I don't care that much. yes it would be more convenient to have it
working but I still have enough serial (not even pcmcia) modems to
carry around in case I need a modem which work better anyway.
in the whole thread on gmane there is the sentence
"I am going to take my toys and go home" is an immature, childish
response to an adult problem.
in this case I don't think so. why the fuck should I buy some trash
from nvidia, adaptec, broadcom and spend have people spending lifeblood
on doing the work of those when I can get stuff from amd,lsi,ralink ?
public market is not a democratic republic. the only vote there is the
vote of the feet. so people, don't buy and don't use trash dispose it
properly and there will be less trash on the market.
( the sentece wasn't meant or used in this way in ther original thread,
but the above is what came to my mind when I read it. in the original
meaning it was referring to the deletion of the driver from the tree.
I don't see this childish though. If we play we play for fun and not
for profit. when the fun is gone there is no reason to keep playing
unless one draws pleasure from the pain or fun is not the reason to
play. )
apart from that Michael Buesch obviously doesn't have the balls to
admit when he's wrong. like theo said, one pm would've been enough.
I can understand that and why he didn't do that and sent out the mail
to many, obviously he believed there was theft there and looking at
the situation he had some reason to believe that. but at least later
on he could've admitted that it was the wrong thing to do, that what
he saw was not somebody intentionally stealing something from them
but somebody putting things where they don't belong without realising
and considering the consequeces of his actions. however, let it rest
in peace, I hope we all learned something from it.
CVS is _public_ for good and for bad, use with care the michaels are
watching you. ;)
