Fwd: Re: Linux - Check for Updates broken

[Richmond Mathewson]

 Hey, here we go again; replying to my own posting . . . :)


so there is probably no point filing Linux bug
reports.  However, prove me wrong.  When this works, and when the fabled
media player comes out,


If one were really desperate for a media player I am sure that the good 
people

who made Stack-Runner would lob you a recipe to cobble one together for
Linux . . .  :)

Just downloaded the Linux version of StackRunner and it worked a charm; so
any grumbling about a lack of a Media player is redundant! The only
'grunt' is that it doesn't sport a slinky icon - which is negligible.

See, you lovely people at RunRev; not always negative - I have just 
saved you

a spot of work . . .  :)

The issue is, either deliver, or remove the placeholder saying its coming
shortly.  Don't leave it there for years when there's no sign of any
intention to deliver it.  Far more important than whether the thing is
delivered or not.  Its sending a message, but its sending it in a completely
cack-handed way, one that damages the company's reputation far more than
simply saying, we don't intend doing this or that because we are not doing
these things for Linux.  We don't want to.  For whatever reason.  Maybe
quite legitimate, who knows?

You can get away with that.  What you can't get away with is the pretence
you are going to do it, followed by not doing it.  Its just a stupid way to
behave.

I spent this afternoon trying to get the thing to print in Linux, realizing
once again that its time to dig out the Awk book if I want to get it done
this month   Same thing, just tell me you are not going to do it.  Or do
it.  Whichever.
