Many projects with big libraries (like X.Org lately for me) are in an pre-alpha stage where they don't even compile despite the fact you follow the README exactly. Sometimes the big bloated projects are funny. Rebooting computers in our school labs was forbidden. But I discovered that when I bring up X with Gnome, often some absolutely unimportant program that is being started at the startup (among many) took up the whole VM, upon which the whole system froze from being totally trashed up (along with remotely logged-in users) and the lab service had to come and press RESET (the OS was trashed so much ctrl-alt-del didn't bring any extra good). I was doing that over and over and making fun from the fact that rebooting machines is forbidden in the lab, but they couldn't take my badge (which could be taken for e. g. deliberaltely pressing RESET) because I just said "I am just running the user space programs that are pre-installed here". I was just doing what majority was - running Gnome :) Also my friend is always upset when I run Konqueror (KDE web browser) on his machine and then log out. It leaves couple running processes behind :) Again, I just use to say "sorry, but Konqueror is your favourite web browser" :) People like denying problems pointed out in the things they promote (because it moves all the problems from their side to yours) but forget that sometimes you can pretty upset them just by taking their words for true (that's what supposedly everyone wants - for his words to be taken seriously) :) Once also one of my friends who is into operating system pointed out that the new Linux kernel is crap and full of bugs (he even found out some, sent patches, they were ignored, and the bugs are still there - virtual memory management deadlocks, filesystem corruption etc). They installed it in the labs, of course. And then some exploit was revealed. So we waited, then downloaded the exploit, downloaded /etc/shadow and run John the ripper on the password hashes from /etc/shadow. I came to one of my friends and asked him: "Hi, Martin, are you listening to Autechre?" "Yes, how do you know?" "From your UNIX password."
