| These include standard fare such as image editors, but it's also
| worth looking into free desktop publishers, web design templates,
| and quirky graphics tools. Whether you want to produce splashy
| graphical documents, enhance graphics on a blog or web site,

FOSS v Proprietary? â A debate between two geeks?
,----[ Quote ]
| In regards to my comment to him âchampioning the Macâ I use the
| word champion to describe something any user has settled on as a
| result of their own research and needs. I champion Linux since I
| have chosen it above alternatives as its best for me.
| Throttlemeister has done so with Mac on the same basis.
|
| Throttlemeister makes reference to the needs of work and MS
| Office. I think this highlights perfectly that far from Microsoft
| being âstandards compatâ and as some would like you to believe [1]
| entering into a brave new world of cooperation and
| interoperability with FOSS. The fact remain that intentional or
| not, there are barriers for people wanting freedom of choice in
| their software solutions and its not a fault of FOSS.

Why I hate non-Free software
,----[ Quote ]
| All software sucks. It's full of bugs, and rarely works right.
|
| The general solution to this is to live with bugs, and fix them as you see
| them. Eventually, you've fixed enough of them that you don't care anymore. If
| one comes up, you just fix it. Easy.

Why Software is not treated fairly
,----[ Quote ]
| When you âbuyâ a proprietary software you are not actually buying the
| software but a license to use it. Although in many cases the physical package
| of the software convinces you that you actually bought something that belongs
| to you, in reality what you get is someoneâs permission to use a piece of
| software.
