Oh for christ's sake. If you want to split hairs to hold up OSS on a false pedestal, feel free. I'm not going to get into partial quoting contest with you. If you want to play those tricks, you can do so with someone else.

At least I back up my assertions with examples. What you post amounts to empty platitudes. If you believe you're right, then have the courage and diligence to support that claim.
Is this how you try to win arguments? By intimidating people into silence?
No, I'm just not going to waste my time arguing with someone who is going to act like this. Quoting partial sentences (and not quoting the relevant bits), leaping to conclusions, and generally misrepresenting simple statements are just... boring, sorry. You're not adding anything useful to the discussion, so why should I waste my time? Like I said, if you want to have this argument with someone else, feel free, I'm sure there are plenty of folks who will do so. I won't. If you want to feel you've 'won' the argument, go ahead. No skin off my nose.

I included everything you said in my reply. I just cut it into pieces and replied to each bit.
If you don't like my writing and debating style, just admit it.
And as for me jumping to conclusions...well....Pot, meet Kettle. As for boring... well, 99% of Americans and Canadians would roll their eyes in boredom at both of us, so it's all relative.
No, you just called it "stealing". First, you can't steal from BSD unless you neglect the copyright notices. Second, everything else was licensed as pointed out above.

I am just saying that without Linux and without BSD.. OSX would have far far less support than what to does. Good example is Cups that is used for OSX printing.
Yes, because Apple is completely incapable of writing their own operating systems and MacOS had no printing services. Apple certainly leveraged open source but had it not existed they would have simply started with a commerical unix software base.

I would have to say that OSX offers me less than Linux really. I can get far more done on linux and its not bloated. I can trim out what I dont need and leave in what I do need. I can recompile everything I want even though I use a binary distro grab the packages source and recompile as I see fit.
Because you can't do that under OSX...oh wait...BSD userland means...I too can compile stuff from source if I too were a lamer with too much time on my hands.

Seriously man OSX is nice but drumming it up to be what everybody here claims is insane. And if anything you should be Praising Linux as its the only thing that has a chance to displace Microsoft.
Microsoft isn't the enemy. Linux is not our savior.

Go play with someone else, JC.

So why do you insist on having the last word.
I was not saying apple did anything illegal.

Whenever Kickaha says something, just assume i replied with an "I totally agree" statement. Cool, thanks for understanding
I assume you're joking
