You obviously have not seen the 2009 sequel. They brought the same dude back and tried to modernize him (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUCyvw4w_yk). It is just as laughable.

I don't see the point. From what I can tell this is a forum dedicated to proprietary Windows antivirus software, which hosts official support forums for proprietary Windows antivirus software. It's probably one of the last places to bring up discussion of GNU/Linux-libre, freedom, and all tha

You are certainly entitled to calling software junk. With many thousands of packages in our repos, there are plenty of crappy programs you will find. Though personally I try to always err on the side of cutting the programmers some slack. The number of people that can program in any meaningfu

Well, it may only happen when the next version of Trisquel is released. Usually, regular updates are only security and bug-fix ones... Some trisquel-* are updated from time to time (yesterday for instance!) what should mean (although I have never tried to check) that the default install cha

Microsoft and Adobe still benefit from pirated proprietary software, just not as much as software paid for at the full price, and obtained legally. It's because, even the pirated software, is still promoting the MS operating systems, encouraging the use of it's file formats and increasing Win

The trisquel-* packages are meta-packages, i.e., packages that do not install anything by themselves but depend on a bunch of other packages (that you often want to install at once, hence the convenience of a meta-package). Therefore, it is safe to remove a trisquel-* package. The only troubl
