Definitely not supporting the lying charges of -highhorse and DumFSck.
Why does the dumb fsck bring it up?  Who knows?

 -highhorse's "example" fell flat, also.  One guy had a brain-fart
where he arbitrarily assigned a 1 cent cost to GIMP, but that sure
doesn't support the lying claims of -highhorse and DumFSck.

Unfortunately, chrisv doesn't recall that the thread showed that even sbd's "one cent" assignment did not matter, as I illustrated a basic ROI that was generalizable, making his specific cost claim irrelevant.
Point is that when someone like chrisv is being paid $25/hour, a tool which improves his productivity by, oh, say +10% will pay for itself over time.  If te tool costs $500, then 10% higher productivity means that its value is 40*.1 = 4 hours/week, which is worth $100 and ROI "break even" point is five weeks:  a good investment to make.
And if one doesn't "like" this example's numbers, then change them.
For example, even just a +1% gain has an ROI of 50 weeks (~one year).

It was an example of an advocate saying something stupid, but how does
that compare to the constant stream of stupidity and lies from the
haters?

Saying something stupid is what chrisv is once again doing now.  /s

I'll take someone who has the occasional brain fart over some
asshole who *lies* to attack others, any day of the week.

So prove your claim by dropping DFS's misquote you used, and never use it ever again.

 

That's 4 for 4 whining on money, yet we're somehow supposed to believe
that no Linux fanboy considers cost a factor on Linux 'superiority';

 Poor -highhorse.  The fact that he needs to *lie* says it all.
 All the other 3/31 -highhorse posts were deleted, unread.  As will his
response to this post.

Of course, because chrisv won't want to admit seeing that he's been challenged to prove that he's not lying by changing his behavior:
"So prove your claim by dropping DFS's misquote you used, and never use it ever again."
