Jive Software at igniterealtime.org are a bunch of loonies or scoundrels

Jive Software at igniterealtime.org are a bunch of loonies or scoundrels

Jive Software are makers of Openfire jabber server which works kind of Okay (if we forget that their latest version does not allow Miranda, Pidgin and other clients to log in existing JIDs, only create new ones). But their own client Spark, advertized as supporting voice and video all over the interwebs, simply is not what they say. Bait and switch.

Spark voice calls simply do not work. It is so bugged, that calling that a 'stable release' is simply unethical. Calls don't go through, developers nowhere to be found and there is not a bit of documentation on what the hell this program requires to work. In other words this is usual and customary "compile, release and forget" POS from 'open source community'.

Worst part is that they make it look like it works and have users waste countless hours downloading, installing, configuring, registering in their forum and posting questions that never going to be answered by anyone who would know. Same old.

Fish rots from the head

Fish rots from the head

Every day 'Open source community' goes out of its way to provide more evidence of its total moral corruption or growing incompetence - whichever you prefer.

Here's a reply from none other than Alan Cox to a bug report of a complete showstopper bug where files cannot be copied from Linux to Windows machines while hanging entire Linux O/S in the process: rtl8111d: network transfers fail/corrupted

In short, he proposes that the bug reporter installs all kernels from 2.6 to 3.11 in a Fedora 14 box (knowing full well that 3 series kernels do not work in F14) and then walks away. FY, Linux user!
