Comment 1368 for bug 1

Hi guys.
I don't mean to be rude; I just want the message to be perfectly clear
because we've been through this shit for like million times already and
I'm simply getting sick and tired of hearing the same stupid whining
over and over again. Bad hardware support is always caused by stupid
hardware manufacturers and not the operating system in question, because
someone needs to write the damn drivers! If you leave that up to them,
they pretty much always end up spitting out some half broken piece of
binary crap, not to mention they probably won't even bother if the
particular operating system isn't used by what they believe to be enough
of their potential customers. I guess you can see why we have a problem
with that and every single operating system is gonna be plagued by the
exact same problem until it reaches critical mass. In fact, all they
need to do in order for their stuff to be fully and reliably supported
on free operating systems is to publicly release the programming
documentation (because writing properly working drivers without it
within reasonable time frame is impossible), but many of them are simply
too stupid to understand that. Until that changes, we're simply screwed,
because we're stuck with either crap that can (and will) stop working
any time or with nothing at all and there's absolutely not a damn thing
you can do about that by yet another pointless GNU/Linux (BSD, Solaris,
whatever) rant! So, unless you have some constructive criticism or other
valuable ideas, please go post your whining somewhere else!
