    I hate when parents assume "unknown publisher" automatically means "virus".

      @zeldatra I hate UAC anyway, the whole "Unknown Publisher = dangerous" thing is just another scam to make publishers pay a lot to Microsoft to become a "verified publisher". Sudo FTW!

          @cskyes I'm not sure what you mean by "patent-stunted", could you elaborate on that a bit?

            @omni They feel like they have to license everything and try to take your money for proprietary crap.

              @cskyes Doesn't Apple do this even worse? I don't like this behaviour, though, so I try to use as little patented stuff as possible (for example, I use FLAC instead of MP3 for music files).

                @omni Bigger the company, it seems, bigger the ego... I use OGG vorbis for all my musical needs since it's open source and good quality.
