Looks like someone recently took a logic course and feels a deep need to try to flex their new vocabulary.

Anyway, this isn't a logical argument being made and attempting to apply text book...

Totally irrelevant anyway. I wasn't arguing "from the middle" or any such thing. I was arguing from the standpoint that the other arguments are pointless.

I get amused by the things coming from both "sides" of this discussion.

It's pretty clear Canonical doesn't really care if any other distros use Mir or not. They're going their own way for their...

It seems to me that regardless of whatever marketing speak Canonical paints over this, it makes quite a bit of sense if they REALLY plan on putting Mir in "production" as soon I think I remember was...

Virtualbox. You're welcome.

If they did ignore it, then this thread wouldn't exist.

It just seems silly to me for them to get upset about the fork.

I thought the point of FOSS was that if any single individual decided they wanted to fork a project and take it on their own adventure, they could. Regardless of whatever lack of social tact Mr....

Mine was a meta comment about externally viewing Mir in the context of this situation and not about anything related to Canonical's decision making processes. In other words -- it might very well be...

Whatever this is about and/or turns into, his comments about frustrations with patches not being accepted upstream sounds like Mir wasn't so crazy for Canonical to pursue.

Before you spend your...

First, let's be clear -- Urban Terror has never tried to be a graphical masterpiece. So calling it a failure there is just stupid.

As far as management is concerned, it certainly seems there has...

Your entire post is meaningless. It will still be free. It just won't be open source.

If they ever finish it, chances are it's still at least a year away from being usable -- maybe two. They're using 4.2 to test some of their auth functionality which is a pre-cursor to their...

I specifically said "Ubuntu user". Specifically, comments 8, 10, 17, 30 and 33.

All of this Ubuntu user bashing is not particularly helpful and pretty silly. I get it that you have plenty of contempt for Canonical for a variety of reasons, but at the end of the day, Ubuntu has...

Technical feasibiity aside and whether you agree with their decisions or not, it's becoming pretty clear (at least to me) that their "desktop" decisions are being almost solely driven by their mobile...

I've been saying for years that there would be convergence in a way that mobility would effectively replace the desktop PC long before smart phones got where they are now. It was very clear to me...

As someone that uses Ubuntu I'm a bit puzzled by the sequence of events and certainly at the optics of this. At a minimum, it would appear that they've done a pretty shoddy job with the PR component...

They may or may not have been fueled by desperation when they did this, but you are forgetting your history.

AMD did _exactly_ what the open source community asked. They released docs because they...

The lag is a very frequent (almost in a perfect rythm) slow down that causes the game to feel like I'm running through quicksand. It also immensely changes the physics of how my mouse movement moves...

Because there is a bug in the catalyst driver that causes me severe in-game lag. I commented in another thread about it and it is a known bug that has existed for at least a year now. I'm not holding...
