TakyojiWhat would your response be to a person that thinks favoring open source software as being a "cheap ass" (trying to go for anything that's lower in price regardless of quality) and that because you can edit source, but that it has no direct benefit to a standard user since a standard user isn't going to be modifying the source code ever?00:05
TakyojiIt's kind of like how I think my brother perceives of open source as, from what I've observed.00:06
TakyojiSince supposedly anyone that's paid to develop it is supposedly a "professional".00:07
Takyojiwhich costs money, and supposed "there's no such thing as a free lunch"00:07
TakyojiI don't view it like that at all; but how would any of you try to clear up some of the misconceptions? Like, what points should be expressed?00:09
